I found this article to be educational and amusing. Being a wage slave, I have my own personal favorites such as Fallout Tactics.

No magic there. I subscribe to Gamedev.net, GIGNews, and a few others. I also haunt Gamasutra, iHobo, IndieGamer, Dexterity Software, as well as usenet from time to time.

interesting read. Ive had no time to scratch myself latley so I can understand the plight. Allthough my hourly rate has risen substantially, Im enjoying other pursuits like lack of sleep, behind in domestic house stuff, and my personal favorite skipping lunch.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

Exeat, I'm something of a work-a-holic. I also moderate several sci-fi gaming forums, dabble with 3D graphics, and spread the word about DoGA CGA when I can. Currently, I'm helping Walaber to test his Newton wrapper for ragdolls and I'm building a ragdoll puppet fighting demo based on that.

Yeah, but I can't complain about having nothing to do. Did I mention that I've been granted a developer's license for the Fuzion RPG system? So, I'll be writing another source book by the end of the year and using that as the 'design doc' for a tactical combat game that I plan to write in DBP.
