From the other side… Fra den anden side…

DuoCenti: The Murloc’s Family DuoCenti: Murloc familie

This late in the evening, Mrgurlargl was the only one still awake. Dette sent i aften, Mrgurlargl var den eneste stadig vågen. The others were curled around the campfire, full of wine and food and sleeping soundly. De andre var kruset omkring lejrbål, fuld af vin og mad og sove forsvarligt. He couldn’t sleep, though, he was too proud, too excited to sleep. Han kunne ikke sove, selvom han var for stolt, alt for glade for at sove.

“Die murloc filth!” Loldude247’s assault was swift. "Die Murloc skidt!" Loldude247's angreb var hurtig. His sword sang death even as his shouts roused the sleeping family. Hans sværd sang død, selv da hans råber roused den sovende familie.

Stumbled across this when checking out trackbacks. Stumbled hele dette ved kontant afregning TrackBacks. Of course, it reminds me of this . Selvfølgelig, det minder mig om dette.

Second Skin Second Skin

July 16th, 2008 Den 16 juli, 2008

I’ma day late on this, i think! Jeg er dagen sent om dette, tror jeg! But Second Skin is premiering in New York, and they want to sell tickets. Men Anden hud er premiering i New York, og de ønsker at sælge billetter. :)

Today’s the day!  Tickets have just gone on sale for the NYC premiere of our little documentary on virtual worlds, Second Skin.  We would love to have all of you there, and would be honored if you’d join us at our hometown premiere.  If we sell out this theater fast enough, we might get other NYC theaters to notice, and give us a good run- which would create a lot more press, and help us with our theatrical release later this year. Dagens dagen! Billetter netop har gået på salg til NYC premiere i vores lille dokumentarfilm om virtuelle verdener, Second Skin. Vi ville elske at have alle jer der, og vil være beæret hvis du vil slutte sig til os på vores hjemby premiere. Hvis vi sælger ud af dette teater hurtigt nok, vi kunne få andre NYC teatre at lægge mærke til, og giv os en god køre-der ville skabe en meget mere tryk på, og hjælpe os med vores teater frigivelsen senere på året.

If you could please BUY TICKETS HERE and forward this message along to *everyone* you know, we might sell out within the day- our humble goal.  Thanks to all of you for making  this movie such an unbelievable success. Hvis du kunne behage købe billetter her og sende denne besked videre til * alle * De ved, vi kan sælge ud i dag vores beskedne mål. Tak til alle jer for at gøre denne film sådan en ufattelig succes.

In case you’re new, here’s the skinny on our movie, below.  Also, watch out for us in next week’s issue of Newsweek and Moviemaker Magazine! Hvis du er ny, her er tynd på vores film, nedenfor. Also, watch out for os i næste uges spørgsmål om Newsweek og Moviemaker Magazine!

ATOF in Game Informer’s top ten game books ATOF i Game informants top ti spil bøger

May 21st, 2008 21 mai, 2008

I got an email about this recently, but haven’t seen it myself. Jeg fik en mail om dette sidste, men har ikke set det selv. Apparently Game Informer picked the top ten books on gaming, and A Theory of Fun is on the list at #9. Tilsyneladende Game Informer plukket de ti bøger på spil, og en teori sjov er på listen på # 9. Perfect timing of course, given that it’s out of print and I get three inquiries a week on how to get ahold of a copy. Perfekt timing selvfølgelig, da det er ude af tryk og jeg får tre henvendelser om ugen om, hvordan man får ahold af en kopi. Working on it… Arbejder på det…

David Kushner, author of the excellent Masters of Doom (which I have the galleys of somewhere around here, and which came in at #1) managed to type in the full list . David Kushner, forfatter til den fremragende Masters of Doom (som jeg har den galleys af sted her omkring, og som kom ind på # 1) formået at skrive den fulde liste. I’ll have to see if I can find a copy of the article. Jeg vil have at se, om jeg kan finde en kopi af artiklen.

Edit: here’s the article. Edit: Her er den artikel. A Theory of Fun for Game Design by Raph Koster. In this book, Koster aims a bit higher than the normal historical analysis of the game industry. Instead, the former chief executive officer of Sony Online Entertainment aims to define just what terms like “game† and “fun† actually mean. His answers are fascinating and a must-read for anyone concerned with the art of video games, but what’s more impressive is that Koster – an eccentric and highly skilled writer – actually manages to make this high-brow discussion accessible and, yes, even fun to read. Through an often hilarious mix of academic discussion, first-person anecdotes, and hand-drawn cartoons, Koster brings the reader closer to understanding what role games of all sorts play in human life and what we mean when we say something is “fun.† All in all, it’s a fascinating and unique book that should be required reading at the world’s many video game college programs.
