The rains have come again

The rains have come again to NorCal. It's the kind that behaves like a whimsical cat, coming and going with very little consideration for anyone else.


There's this Italian card game I'm loving called "Bang!" -- it's basically an old-west themed game, complete with sheriffs, outlaws, deputys and renegades. It's pretty fun if you're into the whole "take-that!" style of game (i.e. UNO, Munchkin). I think part of what makes it fun, is that we all know the old western cliches, which makes the game that much more vivid.


GDC was last week, and at the show some of our artists saw the new WACOM Cintiq. Work was able to get one of these devices for evaluation purposes. 10 seconds with this device and you will want one. It's unbelievably cool, and the responsiveness of the stylus (the pen for you non-tech types) doesn't exhibit any of the lag that's traditionally associated with pen tablets. The only problem, of course is the price.
