Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.
“Project Horseshoe is a safe place for the discussion of radical concepts and the combination of efforts by employees of rival companies. The safety of these activities depends upon the Project Horseshoe’s brothers’ and sisters’ having confidence in each other’s discretion when relating in any manner Horseshoe’s content and events outside of the Horseshoe group.

Believe it or not (I still don’t) but I actually squeezed myself into Project Horsheshoe this year!
I arrived at Canyon of the Eagles early this afternoon and all I can say is the place is unbelievable. My room is a beautiful little cabin facing the lake and right now I’m sitting in the main hall [...]
As a board game devotee, I accomplish a yearly pilgrimage to the Internationale Spieltage SPIEL which most people simply call “Essen” from the name of the German city where it takes place. As the world’s biggest “paper” game convention, it is to board games what E3 was to video games. But, unlike E3, I always [...]
Catching up on my feeds this sunday morning, I found a discussion about something Jonathan Blow (of Braid fame) - said a couple of weeks ago. The original interview was by itself well worth a read but he really grabed my attention when he asserted that the core mechanic constituting the experience of most [...]
Dans l’industrie du Jeu Vidéo, je suis habituellement considéré comme un ayatollah du Libre. Ce n’est pas souvent que je me retrouve à tenir une ligne modérée sur le sujet.

Between TGS last week and my deambulations in “electric town” Akihabara, I’ve had ample opportunity to check out local DS titles that will probably never leave the island. Among other things, I saw: a yoga instructor, a beetle card fighting game, a skin beauty advisor, a bunch of translators, a face trainer, a mouse driven [...]
To say that I was disappointed with the event would be a vast understatement. More and more I feel like video games trade shows are a complete waste of time and energy. After seeing the meretricious lines of gaudy stands displaying almost nothing but stale games - although fabulously well executed in some cases [...]
In Tokyo, getting ready to attend the TGS.
I’m mainly here to find a japanese publisher for our upcoming Nintendo DS game. I’m also trying to get a better understanding of the japanese people since my team and I are thinking of making a game that could only work here (at least initially).
We’re probably out of [...]
