It’s Thanksgiving week here in the States, but worldwide everyone has plenty to be thankful for (I have the Facebook feed to prove it). But we haven’t heard from you, video games!

Mega Headlines: VR Whip Unity
I definitely think we’ll look back at this year’s GDC as the coming out party for Virtual Reality.

I think the right amount of friends is around 108. Thanks to the lessons of Suikoden, my theory might prove true. The Lessons of… Continue reading
