		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;so it all comes full circle. Man, this brings back memories of just how much we&#8217;ve all grown up. Retirement is looking good right about now. Russ did a fair piece, though I do not agree with some of his statements e.g. If we go by the formula that every derivative (which includes sequels) work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Google Alert recently popped up in my inbox with a new website which appears to be cataloging game magazines. So I was surprised to see this early coverage of my very first game in a UK magazine. Ah yes, those were the days &#8211; and that&#8217;s the one that started it all. &#8230;and this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As developers and creators, ideas are always flowing through our veins and neural pathways. Once in awhile, something sticks and before you know it, you&#8217;re deep in the hostile territory that is the execution of the one idea that actually sticks.

I&#8217;m not even going to paraphrase it; so just go read all about it over at Develop. Apparently, not only has he lost his grip on the &#8220;edge&#8221; mark which he used [...]]]></description>
