What Would Molydeux, affectionately referred to as “Molyjam,” is a 48 hour game
jam inspired by the works of @petermolydeux, a loving parody of the legendary
Game Designer, Peter Molyneux.
While I won’t officially be participating, I think this might be the perfect
time to flesh out an idea I’ve had for a while. Look for an update Monday next
week.

In select circumstances, until earlier today, the Zynga game Coasterville told
users to email a certain address @themepark.com if something went wrong. The
problem is, that email address didn’t belong to a Zynga employee.

Dirty Game Development TricksOne of Game Developer’s most popular features was
our “Dirty Coding Tricks” bit from 2009, where we got devs to open up about
some
of their ugly hacks -- and in 2013 we’re back with nine new from-the-trenches
stories, including a few unorthodox tricks from other dev disciplines besides

Basically, I’m fucking furious.
Yea, Naughty Dog is large studio, but Im pretty sure something like this was an
honest mistake. So, rather than taking the mature approach of contacting Naughty
Dog, the author decides to take to Tumblr and complain to the Internets first. I
wonder if the author got permission to use the various logos in some of the maps
hes designed…
Maybe it’s just me, but if a website I built randomly popped up in a video game,
I’d be pretty damn flattered.

Always on DRM is being removed, with the One only requiring a connection once to
set the console up. Their used game/borrowing policy has also shifted to mimic
Sony’s.

Continuing from my last post about the Xbox One reveal, I wanted to talk a
little more about what happened yesterday at the Microsoft E3 press conference.
More specifically, what didn’t happen. Originally I gave Microsoft the benefit
of the doubt when they raised a number of suspicious red flags. Always On DRM?
How will used games be handled? Why does the Kinect sensor need to always be on
and watching me? Given that the Xbox announcement was only two weeks away from
E3, naturally I assumed th
David Hayter (Original voice actor for Solid Snake):
“Great actor, good man. The game will probably still be excellent. Like New
Coke!”
A lot of people are under the impression this is all an act, and Hayter’s voice
may very well appear in the game. I really have my doubts, but Kojima has shown
