Harvey Birdman, Gamer at Law
I’ve finally been given clearance to mention one of my favorite upcoming projects. Earlier this year, I worked with the fine people at High Voltage Software on a brand-new video game based on the hilarious Cartoon Network show Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. It’s slated to be released this fall for both the PS2 and the PSP. I had an …
Good-Bye, Dan Matheson
From reliable sources, I’ve heard that Dan Matheson died last Sunday from a heart attack.

I also owe Rich for introducing me to Guitar Hero, one of the greatest video games of all time. …
Unplug Me
Beguiled by the wily suggestions of Rich Dansky, the fine folks over at Storytellers Unplugged asked me to join their hearty crew of professional writers, editors, and other assorted scalawags. In a moment of dumbfounded excitement–which kept me from begging off due to my soul-crushing deadlines–I accepted. In the ensuing blizzard of e-mails, I realized that I’d been shanghaied into–ah, …
