So lets get this party started. I want to kick off our blog topics by spending a couple weeks thinking about video games. How they've advanced. What it takes to become a designer. What it takes to become a tester.
This is probably pretty ironic as my hard-core
Anyway, today I want you to follow my link and read. Thursday I will ask you to post a fact from the story (other than from page 1).
This will be the norm for us. Read on Tuesday. Blog on Thursday.
Comments put up before Thursday will be deleted so you'll just have to do them again anyway.
Go here. Read.
