Next week's show - Controls

gamesdaypodcast:

While we’re hard at work editing last night’s episode* about War Games (no Broderick, pls), we wanted to give you plenty of time to prepare for next Wednesday night’s show - Controls.

We’ve created a Facebook thread about the topic. Join in our discussion about your best and worst game control experiences. Any games that were terrible? Anything that really stood out as the pinnacle of how games should be controlled?

Also, think outside the yoke - not just games, but the controllers themselves. Have you used any controllers you wanted to throw across the room in frustration?

Let us know!

*Just so you know, our main editing computer had to go into the shop for repairs so there is a chance we might be a bit behind publishing the November 11 episode of the show. Thanks for your patience.

Same here

Not entirely sure what @dribbble is all about, but sure would appreciate finding out. (Hint, hint.)

Up all night

I find it hard to relax completely, even when I’m sick. Last thursday I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with an early case of pneumonia. I had the xrays, an ECG, and had to wear a face mask the whole time - which cussed the other people there to look at me like I was patient zero in the recent h1n1 pandemic.

I spent the last few days relaxing. For me, relaxing means reading and writing code for some personal projects I have on the go.

This weekend also marked the first real time ferris hasn’t had an afternoon nap. Instead of sleeping for a few hours, he just stayed in his room and chilled out with his toys. This lack of a nap definitely made a very pregnant mama bear and a sick papa bear have even more a weary day than normal.

While working on one of my projects tonight, my iMac froze up and on reboot shows only a white screen. This doesn’t bode well for Wednesday nights show.

I’m heading back into the office tomorrow. After all that’s happened lately, wish me luck!
