My Unexciting Desk, By Popular Demand

Logan Booker — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 01:00:00 +0000

And by “popular demand”, I mean “one person”.

Anywho, if you happened to miss the mega post from the US with photos of not only the desks of famous game developers, but the ever-so-lovable crew over at Kotaku US, here’s your chance to check it out now. It makes my post just a little less random.

This is my paltry contribution. That ViewSonic monitor on the right is half-buggered. It’ll only display a resolution up to 1024×768 (used to be 1680×1050 native). It’s not an ideal second screen, but it’s better than nothing.

DS Love

Luke and I spent Monday hanging out in Sydney and meeting with Logan of Kotaku Australia. Luke and I ambled around town, hitting up a couple of very cool bookstores and an arcade before going our separate ways. At one point we walked into a tea shop and I spotted this couple cuddling in the corner over a matching set of DSes. I think it’s the first public display of gaming affection I’ve ever seen.

Unrelated pro tip: When a tea lady asks if you want edible “pearls” in your iced tea say no.

Things We Do In Our Spare Time

A month or two ago I submitted a video for a Seagate competition for Oz journalists. The theme of the comp was “Precious Memories”.

I went through photos. I went through videos. I emptied my wallet looking for old phone numbers written on coasters. I came up with nothing.

So, I put together this… thing.

Sadly, my effort didn’t win. I think my mistake was that I didn’t advertise it enough (it was by popular vote rather than judges). That… and the video was completely silly. Craig Simms, a good friend and former colleague of mine (now at CNET), did take out the grand prize for the Digital Art category. His awesome piece can be found after the jump.

Anyway, it seemed a waste to let the video rot on my hard drive, so here it is for you to enjoy or bag endlessly. I’m open to both!
