The Pleasure of Writing About Games

Over at Gamers With Jobs, Julian Murdoch looks at the craft of writing about games — and how being a gaming journalist has improved his relationship with games. While I've found writing about games has significantly cut into my time I can spend playing games — and there's a difference between playing for pleasure and playing for pay — I'll agree with many of Murdoch's thoughts in regards to going into situations with a new perspective, one that is frequently quite positive: More »

Peter Moore Launches EA Blog

Ah Peter Moore, how we've missed you. No one has really stepped into the "public face" void filled by Moore's sudden departure over at Microsoft, but fortunately, Moore himself is still going to be very much a public face in gaming.

Today the EA Sports president launched his very own blog over on EA Sports. Moore says he hopes to update it weekly with thoughts on sports, sports gaming and the gaming industry. He also told me in a recent interview that he might post some picture of fancy new digs (complete with sports bar I'm told) on the site down the line.

If his first blog post, which touches on everything from Facebreaker, the Super Bowl and why he thinks Larry Hryb is the Perez Hilton of video game blogging, is any indication, Inside the Game with Peter Moore is going to be a must read for sports gamers. Oh, and the best part? His posting name is EACrazyLegs. Wow! Turns out that EACrazyLegs is actually the community manager who posted Moore's first blog entry. His real forum name is... PeterMoore. Boo!

Japanese Adult Video Actress Gets Game Blog

We've known for a while that, among other things, Japanese adult video actress Ann Nanba was really into games. Her gamer cred: She owns a PS3, an Xbox 360, a PS2, a PSP, a Wii (which she bought in NYC on launch day) and a DS (which she waited in line for.) She seems to truly be into games, among other things. Over at Japanese game blog network Beside Games, Ann's blogging about the games she's currently playing. Which is? Dragon Quest IV, Game Center CX and Wii Fit. Her site is fairly innocuous and, as of posting, totally work safe. Her movies are totally not. More »

TGS 06: All Live Bloggers Bored By Kutaragi

After some weird rumors of a "big" announcement coming out of Ken Kutaragi's TGS 2006 keynote, it has passed with stifling a yawn and feeling "blah" But there's still some pretty hysterical commentary in some of the other liveblogs that covered the event. More »

Another Msoft Blogger is Born

Microsoft seems to be the only of the big three that seem to get the power of blogs, even the ones written by company employees. Major Nelson's site is a tremendous success and Gamerscoreblog is becoming a must read. The latest addition to Microsoft's blogging stables is David Weller, the community manager at Msoft's Game Technology Group. LetsKillDave promises to dish the Msoft approved dirt on game development tech by developers for developers. More »

Wired's World of Warcrack

Blogger Joi Ito pens a piece on World of Warcraft addiction in this month's Wired. Old hat for some, but it's Joi Ito! And he used to hang with Timothy Leary, worked on the Dreamcast online and is related to Cornelius!! The piece does a fine job of laying of Ito's WoW addiction, but wraps up nicely with this last paragraph: More »
