GO, OBAMA!
While I like Clinton and Obama, but I’ve finally made my choice. Rednecks won’t show up to vote against Obama. If Hillary is the Democratic candidate, they’ll be waiting in line like Star Wars nerds.
For those people voting Republican, I’m just speechless. Compare where we are now, after 8 years of Bush, to where we were at the end of Clinton’s presidency. I know which one I prefer.
Interesting commentary on game development voting preferences.
Gamelab in NYC
I was in Manhattan yesterday for a meeting. Afterward, with 7 hours to kill, I went by the Gamelab studio to hang out with Eric Zimmerman. (I had “vegtarian duck” at a Thai place.) I walked a lot, got to hang out with another friend over coffee, went to a great used book store called The Strand, and had some of the best sushi I’ve had in years. Great trip. I read the book The Cement Garden cover to cover on the trip home. (Most recent books, The Cement Garden and Blood Meridian. Both amazing in different ways.)

Last Night in Austin
Saw the Hold Steady last night with Leah, David K., Nathan Black and Aaron, a friend of David’s. It was chilly by our standards, but I had some coffee at Jo’s on 2nd before the show and the band rocked hard enough to keep us warm. After the show, I went home and listened to Thunder Road as a kind of tribute to the Hold Steady.
Portal Action
Traveling back from Florida, my Very Clever Girlfriend(tm) noticed a great Portal photo op. (Portal is another Game of the Year contender…way to go Valve and the Narbacular Drop/Portal team. The gamplay is great, but the fiction and atmosphere are equally impressive.)
