Cliff Harris over @ Positech Games[^] asked all the pirates out there what drove them to pirate his games.
Needless to say he started a nice little flamewar and his blog[^] crashed under the pressure of all the traffic. But he actually got loads of sensible(and insensible, I am sure) answers…
It’s absolutely worth the read, as there are som great insight into how pirate-gamers think, and why they *do* pirate games.

So head on over to his summary page from his little “project” and see why Pirates do pirate games. Talking to Pirates[^].

I guess I have entered a summer hiatus at the moment. Too much to do that don’t involve sitting in front of the computer, so naturally there’s some time between my posts currently.
And when I *do* sit in front of the computer(when it rains and stuff..) I usually work on our game or play Age of Conan. AoC is quite a fun game, but it has it’s lacks as do all MMO’s around today in my opinion.
I’m gonna write up a post about my views and thoughts around Age of Conan and today’s MMO-trend soonish, as soon as my hiatus is finished

I have joined the Vintage Game Club started by Michael Abbott over at Brainy Gamer[^]. And next week, we will start to play through Grim Fandango! I never got to finish that game, so it’s gonna be loads of fun.
You can find more info about The Vintage Game Club over at Brainy Gamer[^]. Even if you’re not interested in the Vintage Club, I suggest you go over there to check out his blog anyway. Cause he has some incredible insights about the more intellectual sides of gaming.

Oh and I will write up an official statement about the game we’re working on soon too, so stay tuned!
