Hooray for my new web hosts, The Protagonist!

Why, when presented with an oppurtunity to interview someone in the game industry, like Jim Ward, we are not asking questions like, “What are your feelings about the way KoTOR II came to completion? Was it rushed? Why? What should’ve been done differently? Why wasn’t Obsidian given enough time to implement the ending they had planned on?”

I’m sick of interviews with the same stupid questions. “Why is it hard to tell a story in a video game?” Cripes. It’s time for game journalists to get a pair. Maybe if they started holding these people’s feet to the fire, we wouldn’t get games like Episode III, we’d get more KoTOR.

So, my domain is still MIA. I’m told it will be back soon, though. Despite the fact that NO ONE can read this, right now, I had to link to this awesome blog post.

I participated in the Carnival of Gamers, and Matthew Gallant at CGOnline was rather critical of the whole affair. Josh at Cathode Tan responded.

What I find absolutely entertaining is the flame war that ensues in the comments area of Josh’s blog. Go read these comments. Now. All two of you reading this blog… go do it!

Update: The flame war continues over at damnedmachines.com!

Update II: Oh, and my domain is back. Excellent!
