GDC Day 1
Rebecca Fortelka
So, GDC Day 1 went amazingly well. The day started at 6 am bright and early but since I was excited to go to conference, it was not a struggle at all. Wish it was that easy to get up that early on a school week. When you take 20 credits a semester sleep is something that is not easy to come by.

Cheats codes were always there to lend a helping hand when a level was too hard, or you wanted to have some fun outside the box. However, in the past few years console games have increasingly ignored cheats. There were once games that allowed the players to have infinite amm...
Everyone knows the Nintendo Wii is a popular system.  I remember working at GameStop and answering the phone, “GameStop, where we buy and sell new games. We do not have any Wiis in stock this week. This is Tara, how may I help you?” Half of the time, the call would be over after that. Whoever was on the line was just looking for a Wii.  But for some, the Wii wasn’t the in demand s...

Fortunately, hobbyists have made some good attempts at picking up the slack where the gaming industry has neglected, such as Ben heck, and Quad Joy, and more commertial resources likem Broaden Horizons. Here's my thoughts regarding game controllers for the severely phy...
