After Christmas

Two Hundred Ninth Post: After Christmas

Well Christmas is come and gone, but I bet you ate well, got some gifts, and had a good time. Now it is time to read instructions, put together toys, put away the left over food, and relax and reflect on the year.

But just how much assembly of toys and reading instructions on gadgets is going to happen? It is back to shopping tomorrow and calling the tech support lines. Everyone is going to be buying and returning things. But somewhere amongst all the chores and long lines, there is still a holiday feeling. Hey this stuff might actually be kind of fun. Not the tech support and long lines, but this is the time of year we have all waited for. So let’s celebrate the season while it is still here.

In non-holiday news, www.bioware.com is offering a contest for writers to write a story. Think you have a good ideas, you might have one, but the format requires only talking and 3500 words. It is just writing with no other aspects of game design being considered. Add to that you have to have a little knowledge of the module making software of the Neverwinter Nights game. I have a good idea for a story, but have to see how difficult it is to format it.

But until you go shopping the day after Christmas... May the Creative Force and Holiday Spirit be with You
