It's been a bit from my last post. But I've got an excuse called event review and placement for over 4500 events . I know I might sound like a broken record, but it's insane that actual event placement is already done for almost all events...

So the event placement process continues. I'm still neck-deep in reviewing and placing events. Just about everything from cycle 1 is done, but I need to get through cycles 2 and 3 in about a week or so. Should be fun. The whole process has been very...

Every year people ask for event details to be released earlier and this year we have to keep a much tighter eye on space, so we tried to kill several birds with one stone by kinda of combining event review with event placement and just try to take care...

No event placement update this week yet - expect a huge dump next week, though. Big stuff, I hope. I've got my fingers crossed. This week, though, I figured I'd give a few quick examples of games that caught my attention during the review process...

Let's try something shorter and simpler this time around. Maybe I can keep up with that a bit better. So I've spent pretty much the entire week wrestling around in Excel, making the new event grid for 2008 that we use to place all the events....

Event submission began on February 3 rd and in almost 2 weeks we’ve already received more than 1300 events. It looks like our new cyclical event review and placement schedule has really worked at getting people to submit events earlier this year. I don...

Fancy that. I actually got a comment at my last post. People are reading this during the off season? What's more, it's actually a request to cover some stuff in the blog. I am shock-ed. So let's get to it, or at least try. It's obviously too early to...

Alright everyone, let's get back into the swing of things. I haven't really posted anything in quite a while - I was super-crazy-busy just prior to Indy and afterward was filled with the post-con depression and all those boring wrap-up details. We've...

So it’s about two hours before I fly out to Indy. I’m leaving at the ass-crack of dawn to get in pretty early on Sunday afternoon. I’ll probably be worthless most of the rest of the day but I hope to get to email again tonight. Either way I should be...

OK, so I've arrived in Columbus for Origins - and discovered I'm booked in the wrong damn hotel. Perfect time/place for a blog post, right? So I said I was going to talk about event placement, that I had a lot to say. Let's see if that's true. So how...

I'm a bit rushed right now doing some last-minute preparations for my trip to Origins (I'm running games at noon on Friday & Saturday - stop in and say hi!) but I wanted to put up a quick note: A bunch of new events (including more anime & film...

Just wanted to pop in with another quick note to try to bring myself closer to the every-Friday schedule I’m shooting for. So pretend it’s June 15 th with me for a bit. It’s still Program Guide Crazy Time here for the Events team. It’s gonna loom over...

Well, Star Wars Celebration IV was something else. Something else indeed. I think it ate something like three weeks of my life, leaving me with just blurred memories of stormtroopers, long lines, and chocolate milk chug-offs to show for it. I have to...

I found a lost artifact! I went into a horrific jungle last night...and I lived to tell the tale! You see after getting a few "subtle" hints from my wife to help her clean out our closet, I decided to dodge the incoming Converse and help her delve into...

He did. At least in my heart, he did. So yeah, I’m out at Star Wars Celebration IV (we all are) and it’s already begun to affect my brain. This is a public notice to anyone trying to get in touch with me for the next 10 days or so – I’m in LA slavin’...
