Scarred and tired, Jack Bauer has been infected by a supervirus and must take on a derelict PMC, hellbent on world domination. Sound familiar? If you’ve played Metal Gear Solid 4, you’ve officially been there and done that. I’ve long talked off-the-blog about 24′s continual ripping off of Metal Gear Solid. People have finally started [...]

As you may have read already on MechaWorks and on PhoneNews.com… MechaWorks will be launching its first mobile app on Thursday. I will drop one more tidbit. As I alluded to on PhoneNews.com, it isn’t what you are thinking. We are not launching PhoneNews.com for iPhone. I know we announced that in the past, and [...]

It’s pretty rare that I council ISPs on how to do their jobs. Okay, fine, I do that about every five minutes on this blog. But, here I’m going to focus on one topic that has popped up recently; OnLive. As you may know, OnLive promises lag free gaming from your web browser. I’m not [...]

Yes, I will be at GDC. Most of my time will be in meetings as we work on an upcoming project. However, as I always do, I am open to sitting down with just about everyone in the industry. From fans to interested future employees, it’s all fair game. So, if you are interested in [...]

The move is almost done. We’ve got a few things left to move… and a lot of stuff set up. The problem is the drive. Things have to stay operational, so it had to be done in chunks. Each drive is a five hour round-trip trek between Sacramento and Silicon Valley. Add in sleep… plus [...]

The move, that is. I’ll be rather unavailable for the next week, as my entire world gets completely thrown into boxes, U-Haul trucks, cars, and (eventually) to my new home, and our new Silicon Valley offices. However, everything is set up there… wired for sound, internet, Wi-Fi, TV, power… it’s good to go. I just [...]

At my new home in Silicon Valley, I signed up for Comcast. Now, you might be asking why, especially in light of those painful-to-watch new TV ads that they’re running (seriously, who came up with those? I want to know so he/she/they can be on my list of people that I Hope They Fail). The [...]

This is an exciting time for me personally. Moving to Silicon Valley, assembling pitches for investors… actually doing some programming (oh snap, Chris can code!), and assembling all the business building blocks to make sure things keep going. In short, I’m busy. But, the most exciting thing, is knowing that you have The Next Big [...]

I haven’t written before on the Hulu vs Boxee battle that is unfolding, and a couple of folks have asked me to chime in. As a reference, while I have used both apps, I don’t use the pairing of Boxee to access Hulu myself. However, the battle being played out over the interoperability (or lack [...]

We don’t yet have the publishing side of things finished, but the MechaWorks Jobs site is almost done with an overhaul. The jobs we need most right now (software development positions) are now up. Run, don’t walk (but please, don’t forget to read the instructions).
