I listened to the audiobook version, which is also narrated by the author, Steve Forbes, who is the EIC of Forbes Magazine, and grandson of the publication’s founder, B.C. Forbes, and was co-authored by Elizabeth Ames. I found the book to be a fantastic primer on to those of you looking to understand economics…
A thorough investigation behind Blade Runner Blade Runner has been one of my favorite films since I first saw it on DVD in 2000. I wasn’t born when it was initially in theatres, and still far too young to comprehend it during the 1992 re-release, yet despite it being 18 years old by the time…
You can find more of my brief book reviews on Goodreads. This is a short read (2.5 hours for the audiobook), and that’s a good thing. I say this because the author gets down to the basics, with practical examples, and along the way breaks down complicated terms into simple wordplay. The book is geared…
You can find my Good Reads profile and reviews of the books I have read, here. I’ve read all of the Hardcore Gaming 101 books up until this point, and after seeing this at last week’s Too Many Games festival, I had to grab this title. What I appreciate most is that the author goes…

Mike, Mike, and Dave play the original Virtua Fighter game, which isn’t terribly, but the jumping is as though you are on the moon. What’s up with the physics? Also, Sega re-released a remixed version of this game shortly after the original, with improved performance, textures, and less polygon popping. ———————– @DaveVoyles Subscribe to my…
Mike, Mike, & Dave play the legendary FMV football game from Digital Pictures. Ever play a full motion video football game? Well now you have.The FIRST professional quarterback simulator! You only play offense, but it’s an interesting game nonetheless. ———————– @DaveVoyles Subscribe to my startup, tech, and game dev newsletter
Mike, Mike, and Dave (and even young Diego!) play this wrestling gem(?) from the 90s. Personally, I prefer the cast to the 32x WWF Arcade Game myself. ———————– @DaveVoyles Subscribe to my startup, tech, and game dev newsletter
