GDC 2012 – The 5 Domains of Play: Applying Psychology’s Big 5 Motivation Domains to Games
Filed in GDC Leave a comment
Presented at GDC 2012 by Jason VandenBerghe of Ubisoft
This was an amazing and enlightening talk. Amazing because Jason VandenBerghe is truly entertaining. Enlightening because the subject matter points out things that are inherent in the human personality, but never widely quantifiable by one’s single experience. Continue Reading

I couldn’t wait… Sony α NEX-5n
Filed in Photography and Video Leave a comment
Sony Alpha NEX-5n
I couldn’t wait for the NEX-7 so I got the NEX-5n. I was so looking forward to the 7 though. This month is going to be pretty busy. Going on vacation and soon after I’ll be hitting GDC in San Francisco. Both need a still camera and a video camera (although I’m told that we already have both, why do we need ANOTHER ONE) and my preorder for the NEX-7 wasn’t set to ship until the day I was to leave for SF. Obviously too late for either trip.
