Mike, Mike, and I played through a bit of Juraassic Park, which is every bit as difficult as I remembered as a child. I owned this game when it first came out, and could not figure it out then, either. They just don’t explain much to you, and there was no Game FAQs in the…
I get asked this question pretty often, and I usually respond with “A developer who talks to developers”, but this recent interview between John Shewchuk and Business Insider explains it pretty well. The Developer Experience team is intended to be the company’s public face among the techie set, parachuting in to help customers and partners with whatever…
Shadowrun: Dragonfall I recently started going through this game again, after having stopped last year. I backed the game on Kickstarter and got about 12 hours into it, but it was brutally difficult and often times just completely broken. For example, your entire party would be at full health, then in one round the enemy…
You can find part 1 of this series here. This is a question that I get asked pretty often, so I thought I’d write it down to make it easier to share. Building a community I now had some connections with game journalists and developers, but how could I combine the two? Well, developers are always…
Join the conversation on Reddit. I recently wrote an article about some of my favorite Chrome extensions, partly because I wanted to share some of the things I felt worked well, but also because I wanted to learn about what others were using as well. I’ve added quite a few extensions in my daily use…

For nearly two decades prior to that, Microsoft’s DOS and Windows operating systems had games running on them. It wasn’t until the first implementation of Microsoft’s DirectX API for…

This is a question that I get asked pretty often, so I thought I’d write it down to make it easier to share. I’ve also asked some of my peers for their story as well, since they all have unique backgrounds and this is definitely an interesting role with many paths to get to it.…
Update: Lots of discussion going on about this on Reddit In my day-to-day browsing, I use Chrome Canary. I want to see the latest and greatest. It will occasionally have display / graphical issues, so I’ll have to revert to standard Chrome, but after a few weeks the issues seem to be resolved. My main…
While I was in college I had a fascination with creating the most tech savvy interior for a car that I could muster. I studied communications (which I thought was a waste), but I spent all of my free time doing hardware hacking. I wrote about the project in a blog at Mp3car.com as I…
