On Facebook there's a discussion about which Deus Ex 1 (2000) ending was "best." That made me happy: People arguing about which endgame was "right" was part of the plan, better than just killing a boss monster, right? For me, they were all "right, but which was your favorite?

Well this seems unlikely. An updated version of Epic Mickey for current-gen gaming platforms? I mean, I'm totally ready for it and it's not like Disney tells me anything these days, but I just don't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong and this is for real.

Epic Mickey remake might happen on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC

It's good to be building a studio again. Prepping office space, interviewing potential team members, refining game concepts. I missed this.

Most of you probably know that OtherSide, the company I'm with, is working on Underworld Ascendant, spiritual successor to the UW games of the '90s. The game had a coming out party at PAX South and the press coverage is starting to pour in. Like this:

I'm in Stockholm. The view from my hotel room is pretty nice. Looking forward to seeing the @StarbreezeAB folks.

Who would have thought Fox News would list pretty much everything I wish would/hope will happen in this country.

Remember when Fox News made the grave mistake of actually telling people what we’re fighting for? Ah, memories.

@RichardRouseIII I have several rules- a whole set of "commandments" I post around the office. One of them is "Never judge your player." That means let players play & solve problems the way they want to, not the way you require them to. Don't pre-determine what's good and bad for them.

My Nintendo Switch won’t charge or turn on. Customer service will “see if they can repair it” for $99+$10 shipping. It’ll take 3-7 weeks and they can’t guarantee they can help me. This is a known problem. They should be bending over backwards to deal with it. Very disappointing.

You want to acknowledge some true heroes, talk about Doug Church, Harvey Smith, Paul Weaver. I get the glory but they did the heavy lifting.

I wonder if Epic Mickey is included in the Walt Disney Family Museum exhibit about the history of Mickey Mouse? I bet not, but I guy can dream, can't he? Regardless, I'd love to see this show.

@IanSchreiber @RichardGarriott used to complain that villains in games did nothing but wait for “heroes” to show up - it was those heroes who did all the bad stuff in pursuit of those villains. That always struck me as a really smart observation.

When is a game going to win a Pulitzer Prize? Are we ready and deserving of such an honor? Can we at least TRY to be worthy of that? Please.
