Sierra letter the third

Found on an even older floppy disk… May 14, 1994 Dear Sierra, I have a question. When is Police Quest 4 going to be out for the Mac? I’ve been waiting since January, and finally last week I saw it advertised in the Mac Warehouse catalogue. When I called them to order it, they said […]

It’s okay Sierra, I still love you

The infamous City Hall showdown. Yes, this is what I was so upset about. Oops. Yesterday when I posted that customer service letter I wrote to Sierra, I misremembered the outcome. Today I managed to view the rest of my old Mac floppy disks using the free trial of Macdrive. (My clunker PC is old […]

Customer service revisited (retro style!)

I spent most of the evening trying to find some things I thought I had and apparently have lost. The main thing I was looking for were my literary magazines from high school. I just wanted to flip through them for a little nostalgia, and was disturbed to realize they weren’t in the drawer I […]

Public Relations in Games: The Science of Secrets

Hey Marty, don’t look up! Before I left Telltale, I did an interview for this Gamasutra article about game PR. The article just went up yesterday, which gives it a Back to the Future-esque quality.

I had noticed the same thing. The white flowers were turning brown and dropping off, the branches seemed […]

When is a hutch not a hutch?

When it’s a bed, of course! Michael’s sells these great hutches for a dollar a piece. There are a few different styles, but apparently the one I used to make this bed isn’t available anymore (I’ve had a few in my stash for years). Earlier this week there was some conversation on the Greenleaf forum […]

My big backyard

All sorts of critters turning up in the yard these days… The little lizard came scurrying out from under a pot this morning while I was watering the tomatoes. The deer was hanging out in our neighbor’s yard last week with a few friends. We have a fence that keeps them out, but they do […]

Getting something down

My writing books. Most with unbroken spines. Having recently left my job to pursue writing “for real,” I’m finding myself with an unprecedented amount of free time. Seriously, the last time I had more than ten days off in a row was in 2001, when I was laid off over the summer (and I spent […]
