  Ticket to Ride I’ve never seen a computer player’s score go negative. Ticket to Ride is the example of a game I’ve never played on a physical board but feel like I could. I do love a train.

  Your Driver: The Rock There was a tweet saying that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is going to be in another movie based on a videogame. Which of course is an explicit allusion to the incredible video game Desert Bus by Penn & Teller! The bus contains no passengers, there is little scenery aside from an occasional rock or bus...

  Draw Something maxes out at 999. I get so bummed out that OMGPOP Zynga Draw Something tops out at 999. Apparently it used to top out at 99.

  Fry’s, El Capitan, Geocaching & My Stanky Feet Friday afternoon I answered a tweet of the incomparable ChefJoanna which ended up getting one of our houseguests a very full night of work doing such things as separating crab from crabshell. Joanna needed a replacement assistant for the night, her regular assistant having gotten into a car accident. When I called her up on...

  Goings On; EA; SIGGRAPH I have some backlog stuff, as per usual. This weekend to catch up? I hope so. Last night I went to the SIGGRAPH Los Angeles event held at the EA facility in Marina del Rey. Devon was supposed to attend with me but he ended up distracted by girlfriend. The Electronic Arts building, or rather...
