Help Felix find a cure
It’ll probably surprise few of you that I’m actually going to have little to say what with it being Breast Cancer Awareness Month; anyone who’s read me for a while will know I’ve had plenty to say on the subject already. However, I will spread the word about this. My workplace, Big Fish Games, is…

LJ->DW commenting shift
FYI, all: if I know you have an active journal over on Dreamwidth, and I know you’re clearly crossposting over to here, I’ll be shifting commenting traffic there unless you have LJ content that isn’t actually on Dreamwidth.

There is not enough squee in the world for this!
Russell Crowe, joy of my movie watching and delight to my musical ears, announced on Twitter yesterday and to his fan site of choice that there are plans afoot to take the current incarnation of TOFOG (The Ordinary Fear of God) on tour next year! They’d been hoping to do August of this year as…

Want a free game? C’mon, you know you wanna
I would be remiss as an employee of Big Fish Games if I didn’t tell you all that we’re handing out our very first Mystery Case Files series game, Ravenhearst, for free until the end of August. All you need to do if you want to scarf the free game is to go right over…

Rare sightings of Anna social in the wild!
This is a few days after the fact at this point but I wanted to do a shout-out post on behalf of a couple of very nice encounters I had last week. First, I had lunch with two of my old coworkers from the Times, Kathy and Adila, and that was great. Conversation and tasty…
