  Like thinking about game design?

  If you're interested in the design and thinking behind games I highly recommend Danc's Shared Items. He has a very nice perspective on game design, and the feed has great content collected from a wide spectrum of game blogs. His Lost Gardenblog is also good, but (obviously) is not as wide ranging as his shared items.

  Dream from 1997 Fulfiled

  Met Thresh today. Doesn't have the same cachet as it would have 11 years ago, but fun nonetheless.

  @username replies will now PM the user

  Comments are a bit of a ghetto.

  They are great most of the time, it's hard to have conversations when there are hundreds or thousands of comments. As a way to try and thread things, dropping a twitter-style @username to reply to something someone wrote is helpful but it is, at best, a stopgap measure.

  I'm here to say that, thanks to a suggestion from Elk, things just got a little better.

  Now whenever you comment on something, and mention someone with the @username technique, they will get a PM with the content of the message that you sent along with a link back to the page. It should make keeping track of your comment threads a little easier, and make it easier to converse in the comments. It's far from a perfect solution, but it should help a little.

  Hate it? Like it? Couldn't care less? lemme know.

  updated to attribute the idea to Elk, sorry 'bout that.
