WEEZiE 13: MENTAL RHAPSODY: Where's Weezie?

Where's Weezie?

Quick update! The project I'm currently working on is heading towards something called Vertical Slice. By definition, Vertical Slice represents a cross section of the game which contains all the game play that the eventual finished product will have. At Namco, it was called P1 (1st playable). At other companies, it's just been a looming date. I think we're in really good shape for the most part on our Vertical Slice, but time is really limited and things sometimes go a lot slower than I would like.

In addition to my regular work, I'm also finishing up another article for http://www.gamecareerguide.com/ AND trying to power through this year's NaNoWriMo. This clip from Family Guy keeps popping into my head while I'm trying to write:

Alright, back to work. More regular updates shortly!

Bioshock: I haven't played very far yet, but I love the atmosphere (sound, lighting, and setting) as much as I dislike some of the level layout choices (I hate the medical center), buttstab enemy spawns, and poor design usage of my current plasmid selection. This is a game that's on my list of games to play not because I'm really enjoying it, but because it sold a ton of copies to critical acclaim and that means I should take a look at it from a professional point of view.

The Egg "Forward": strange, yet compelling mixture of funky techno, ambient soundscapes, pop hits, and Bent-like experiments. So far, this is right up there with Cut Copy and the Black Ghosts as some of my favorite music from this year.

To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis: Zak recommended this one to me which made me nervous since I didn't like Henry Fool or Gravity's Rainbow. So far, the book has been both amusing and compelling even though there are WAY too many characters which are hard to keep track of. Think of Monty Python plus time travel plus Victorian garage sales.

Babylon 5: I never thought I'd actually watch this show even though it's been recommended by so many different people with the warning that the first two seasons suck. I wouldn't say the first season sucks so far. It's somewhere between Battlestar and Blake's 7. Luckily it's absolutely free to watch on Hulu.com and the perfect thing to have on in the background while I work.
