[In a fun opinion piece, pseudonymous game designer ‘Spitfire’ references comments by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling to discuss why game creators should aim to “Fail faster… fail sooner” to more quickly reach their ultimate goal.]
I read a fascinating speech by J.K. Rowling (yes, that J.K. Rowling) that she gave for Harvard’s commencement ceremony […]

Pro Bull Riding. You mean that thing where a man tries to stay on a raving beast for at least eight seconds? You mean that activity that is recreated in bars all across the South and Midwest with a mechanical bull? Well, I’ll give it a shot. I’ve got a few minutes in between Metal […]

Thankfully, John Connor saved humanity from the possible nuclear oblivion that would have been wreaked by Skynet and its army of cyborgs. This new machine, the Novint Falcon, looks just as formidable as a mimetic polyalloy cop with a funny gait, but […]
