Weekly Roundup 3/9/07

by Brandon

Some would argue this is a day late, which is technically correct, if you, like so many others, believe that the 9th was Friday and today is in fact Saturday. I say that’s crazy talk, but I’ve been told otherwise.

Monday had me complaining about the worst dungeon to ever be seen in a game, Shadow Labyrinth. The fact that I am still, on occasion, forced to run this god-forsaken instance disturbs me greatly.

On Tuesday I gave another update on Dungeon Runners invitations, as I seem to be creating quite the stockpile of them. I am still working my way through them but I seem to get more people trickling in each day, so I’m doing what I can to get them out.

On Wednesday I started out by leading up to my highlight of the week directing people over to Machinima.com to check out some great videos. Later in the day, I added in the Highlight of the Week, a great piece of work called Huntology the Movie, the best example I’d seen of Machinima work.

Grinding, the bane of my existence, was my topic on Thursday Morning. I followed that up with the weekly Repairing Gears piece covering Information Management as it relates to the user interface.

Finally, on Friday I posted some screenshots of one of the most brilliantly idiotic conversations I had ever seen in World of Warcraft, which is quite the accomplishment.

That wraps up this week in review. Next week be ready for diagrams in the Repairing Gears piece. And really, who doesn’t love a good diagram?
