A Look at Gaming in 2010

Posted by Zonk on from the want-to-play-more-world-of-warcraft dept.

Joel from Sydney writes "Wired News' Lore Sjöberg has written a tongue-in-cheek look at what the world of gaming will look like in 2010. From the article: 'Nintendo and LucasArts are still locked in competition to bring their aging iconic characters to every genre ever invented. The year 2010 saw the release of Darth Maul's Star Wars Tennis, Mario MMORPG, Clone Trooper Golf, Mario's Dating Sim, Jar-Jar's Dating Sim and Mario Storms the Beach at Normandy. Plus, handheld versions of all those.'"

    Wasn't that the Brunching Shuttlecocks guy? Didn't know he went over to Wired...

      He's been writing stuff, on and off, for Wired for some time now.

      He's also still doing his comics at http://www.lorebrandcomics.com/ and the occasional flash cartoon at http://www.bandwidththeater.com/ (although it's been several months since he's come up with anything there.)

      If you really want to obsess over this obscure web humor icon, he's got a blog of sorts too.

      Information wants to be anthropomorphized.

    Naw, he stopped before he got this gig with Wired. He's been doing stuff at slumbering.lungfish.com, his blog with some Lore Comics and that sort of thing.
