… and the End of All Things is nigh… The Watchmen Trailer looks… … see for yourself. (It’s apparently playing before The Dark Knight. If I had known, I would have waited.)
Go to Colbert’s Website and watch the whole episode. “One of us!”“One of us!”“One of us!”
It’s not a joke. See, there’s this invalid argument technique called “the slippery slope.” You’ve heard of “give ’em an inch and they’ll take a mile?” That’s the slippery slope. It’s a bad way to make an argument. Most of the time. Not this time…The New York Times reports that the Bush Administration’s Department of…
I received an e-mail recently from a very kind and enthusiastic fan of my work. As usual, e-mails of this kind are one of the only rewards a game designer has, so I was flattered.
