You’re the (Nexus) One That I Want: Confessions of an iPhone Lover Gone Astray
To protect the innocent, names have been changed. In this publication, a once-faithful iPhone lover will be referred to with a fictional Twitter name: @madluv4iPhn. A recent tweet: @madluv4iPhn Dear iPhone - I've met someone new named the Nexus One. I'm strangely attracted to her and need a few days to figure ...)
What SOPA Means for Gaming PR
SOPA. It's much ado about pirates. Not the cool kind of pirates who wear eye patches, sail ships, bury treasure and say stuff like yo-ho-ho. No, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) is about the kind of pirates that suck. SOPA what? If all the cool kids weighed in, would you ...)
Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?
With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You're gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year. Our hotel pet (affectionately and temporarily named Sarah) stayed in her fishbowl out of necessity. But will the casual gaming ...)

Angry Birds Super Bowl Ad's Got Game
Angry Bird players are set for a special bonus this Super Bowl Sunday. The iPhone game's upcoming 30-second commercial is all the buzz today - apparently, it will feature an embedded code to unlock a secret new level. According to AdAge, "the spot will be the first Super Bowl ad ...)
Refunding a Free Admission: Taking Care of Customers in F2P
Last week, on the TriplePoint blog, I wrote a short piece about taking care of angry customers when the service has been poor. I advised providers to be forthright, humble, and to make an immediate reparatory gesture for best results. Karma, it seems, is a real kick in the teeth ...)
Snarky Facebook RPG Fantasy University Now Open to All

Here's the press release: ELANTHIA - October 20, 2010 Fantasy University, the premier fallback institution for ...Archive | Features RSS feed for this section
SoftKinetic is Not SoftSpoken
Earlier this month, at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, many new advances were revealed in the field of gesture recognition technology. While engineers are still working on an automated system to cut you off after you drunkenly expose yourself to a slot machine, TriplePoint client SoftKinetic had some actual new tech to show [...]
What SOPA Means for Gaming PR
13. January 2012
SOPA. It’s much ado about pirates. Not the cool kind of pirates who wear eye patches, sail ships, bury treasure and say stuff like yo-ho-ho. No, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) is about the kind of pirates that suck. SOPA what? If all the cool kids weighed in, would you weigh in too? Why [...]
Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?

With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You’re gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year.

5 Reasons Facebook Places Matters for Social Games
30. August 2010
I’ve never “played” Foursquare, but I have used it. To me, most location based check-in apps (like Foursquare & Gowalla) are more of a novelty than anything. You don’t have to look too hard to find a debate on whether or not this type of geocaching should be considered a “game” in the standard definition. [...]

Sunday Soapbox: Pop-Up Edition
15. August 2010
How many pop-ups is too many pop-ups? Shouldn’t there be a more reasonable cap on pop-up notifications, so players can get busy playing (and spending money, for that matter)? Log-in interruptions are particularly bothersome in my opinion, but some games are offering smoother entry these days, so I’ll just assume that’s been noted and move [...]
