Video games and their decline, from my point of view.

Posted 12-13-2013 at 01:26 AM by lovesthebass

After reading a post on this subject, I decided to blog about it.

IMO, developers and creative teams are simply lazy and lack creativity nowadays. I don't know if they know it or just don't realize it, but they need to open their eyes. It could be the large distribution companies that have a stranglehold on some developers that cause this by forcing the issue of releasing the game ASAP, but if I were a developer, I wouldn't have it. It's pretty bad that "guy in his basement"...

Rage blogging and is it safe for others?

Posted 12-12-2013 at 11:53 AM by grumptacular

Today is a fighting day. I don't know why. Nothing that I can think of has triggered these feelings.

I feel edgy, short fused, aggravated, tense. But I am sitting here writing a blog. I want to go looking for that other guy. The other guy who has a chip on his shoulder. Scowl on his face, ready to smash the world, looking for an opportunity. I want to run into him today. He's bigger than I am and it will leave me hurt and broken, regardless who bests the other. All I do know...

Are there any jobs where you can still work your way up?

That should be a bumper sticker!

This is for a pregnancy announcement! Also, does anyone have any good recommendations for photographers in the area for maternity/newborn photos? Thanks a lot!

I just used Jessica Crawford for newborn photos and she did an excellent job
