@rockstar_ @jaycee Yeah, ARGs usually have a "what if the world was like X" kind of theme; also hence the "alternate" label. /cc @dohbee 8:55 AM Feb 15th via web in reply to rockstar_

I need to get back on my better eating and exercise routine. #postvalentinesmood 8:50 AM Feb 15th via web

@jaycee I meant "they don't have making money as a goal because it's really hard to make money at it." If that makes sense now. :) 8:49 AM Feb 15th via web

@jaycee It's a chicken and egg problem. They don't have that as a goal because they aren't. But game designers make more games if paid. 8:46 AM Feb 15th via web in reply to jaycee

@dohbee @rockstar_ "Alternate" is a play on trans-reality or transmedia. Augmented implies layering, as in screen-mediated experience. 8:45 AM Feb 15th via web in reply to dohbee

@rockstar_ But yeah, I think they are wayyyy cool. but man, a lot of work. And very hard to be commercially successful. 7:30 AM Feb 15th via web in reply to rockstar_

@rockstar_ @dohbee ARGs are also popular in health and wellness games, i.e. to gamify a healthy lifestyle, etc. 7:29 AM Feb 15th via web in reply to rockstar_

After seeing the Grammys last night, I'm doing a lot of angry country-rock today. 10:25 AM Feb 13th via web

It's quite cold here in Alabama today. burrrr. 6:32 AM Feb 13th via web

Oh, and I pre-ordered a PS Vita last night. Chances it will play #dcuo via remote play? 6:11 AM Feb 13th via web

Yeah, it's Monday. But I'm really excited to be starting the week. No more daily support tasks for my squad anymore! 6:06 AM Feb 13th via web

Over lunch I uploaded a bunch of in-game pics with me and my league in #dcuo. flickr.com/photos/deryckhâ€¦ 10:54 AM Feb 10th via web

Been working on a game-related side project in the evenings that is getting close to showing off. Really excited about it. 6:26 AM Feb 9th via web

Real men can work in pink walled rooms. 6:23 AM Feb 9th via web

Spending the day working from home instead of shop office. This means I'm surrounded by pink walls while on video calls. 6:23 AM Feb 9th via web
