Carla Executive Producer Registered: 10/05/04 Posts: 784 Loc: Italy	So I will post interesting talks that happen during the most important game conference of the year (happening this week in San Francisco) especially where we are mentioned. Here is the first interesting one from Steve Meretzky(The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Zoo Tycoon) on Casual Games: Steve Meretzky on Casual Games If you look at the slides of his talk, you can see Virtual Villagers!!

To my dismay I found that it was written for the Apple II back in 1984! _________________________ To err is human; to arr is pirate.

Rockmower Master Poet Registered: 12/16/07 Posts: 1200 Loc: The Beautiful Ozarks	I guess I didn't understand this part: Disadvantages include confusing the press (if you can’t quantify it, you can’t score it), and potentially catering to a tremendous, if loyal, niche. Doesn't this site represent a tremendous & loyal niche of the gaming community? I realize that "we" are a blend of core and casual gamers (I have everything from solitaire to Age Of Empires with every available expansion pack) and tons of stuff in between. Still, I deeply enjoy the VV series and constantly reccomend it to friends and family. Oh well, I guess I don't have to understand a Brain like Arthurs to enjoy it's creative output! $\:\)$ _________________________ Fan Fiction Mentor Avvie by Airstream Raider Where have all the Fan Fiction Fans gone?
