The MADE Opens its first exhibit!

The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment is Kickstarting!

The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment Give us a hand! Sign up for the newsletter, come to a meeting. I’m speaking about the MADE tomorrow night at 5MoF at Noisebridge. Come on down!

From the Beginning

There are no photos of the old days. It is gone to us. It is forgotten. What is known is that we have constructed a society. A vast and beautiful society. And as of today, it has been infested by monsters. And thus, the pig spout became useful.

A Minecraft Tale

It was early in the morning when I set out alone. ‘Twas myself and me boat, pushing off for new territory. unexplored country abounded, but there was a specific chunk of fresh space just west of my expansive home.

GameRanger Arrives for PC

Anyone who loves old PC games knows what a pain in the ass it is to play them online. Or even at LAN parties. But my friend Scott Kevill in Australia has a solution. He’s ported the GameRanger player matching service to PC, and it is fabulous. It supports 500 games, including Baldur’s Gate and [...]
