The story, Stuck, is a first person account of Olafson's tortuous attempts to beat the PSOne game Alien Resurrection. If you've ever read his Game Theory columns in the New York Times or his oft linked San Jose Mercury-News piece about gaming after Sept. 11, you know that Olafson takes a very personal approach to the exeperience of gaming."

    It just goes to show that STATIC content does NOT need to be served from a DATABASE. Generate the pages from a database, sure. Only makes sense. STORAGE. But NOT for EVERY BLOODY PAGE VIEW. At least, not unless you're going to spend for the hardware to do it. I'm calm now, I swear.
