As one of the mathematically challenged, I was urged by my university adviser to fulfill my final three math hours with a new class being taught on campus this semester. Math 117, contemporary math and quantitative analysis, is less about numbers and more about logic. My teacher is a rather eccentric math nut who actually [...]

I don’t want to set the world on fire, but…

Nice Kicks
Dan “Shoe” of former EGM fame has been giving readers of his Sore Thumbs blog (shared with co-former-EGM’r Crispin Boyer) a continuing behind-the-scenes look at the interactions between video game journalists and PR people. He even posted a letter from an anonymous game developer giving readers some perspective from the game maker’s side.
