Plattitudes: February 2009
http://plattitudesforall.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rants, raves, and MU*-related interviews from online game designer Wes Platt. Saturday, February 28, 2009. Short Attention Span Review: "Dollhouse" 2/27. Wow I actually quit watching this episode before it really got going. I stopped about the time Echo auditioned as a backup singer for a pop star. I just wanted a cameo from Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell. Randy: "I don't know, man, that was just a little pitchy for me, y'know? It was just all right. Keep working it! WHY THE HELL NOT? Yeah, he...

Plattitudes: September 2009
http://plattitudesforall.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rants, raves, and MU*-related interviews from online game designer Wes Platt. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Fallen Earth: End of the World and Beginning of New Career! About three and a half years ago, I joined the development team working on Fallen Earth. I'm pretty sure some people thought I was making it all up. I'm not sure what they thought I was doing instead. Panhandling for coins and WoW time cards at Maynard and Chapel Hill Road? Working nights for the CIA? Look at the picture! The P...

Plattitudes: June 2009
http://plattitudesforall.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rants, raves, and MU*-related interviews from online game designer Wes Platt. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Short Attention Span Review: "Weeds" 6/29. I'm a fan of this show. Don't get me wrong. That said: Too many plots going on at one time to cram into a 30-minute space. No fewer than five story threads, all of them done a disservice by the quantity. What happened to the cop? We're left to assume. How did the dirty cop working with Silas and Doug come back into the equation? Make the show longer.

Plattitudes: Lessons I've Learned No. 4: One's a Lot of Fun
http://plattitudesforall.blogspot.com/2009/10/lessons-ive-learned-no-4-ones-lot-of.html
Ramblings, rants, raves, and MU*-related interviews from online game designer Wes Platt. Sunday, October 11, 2009. Lessons I've Learned No. 4: One's a Lot of Fun. As much as I've enjoyed the "group" epic adventures on OtherSpace throughout the years, the artifact tournament events remind me how much more I prefer running activities for an individual player. In a solo event? So, expect me to look for more excuses, whenever possible, to run activities that just involve one player at a time. Lessons Ive Lea...

Plattitudes: July 2009
http://plattitudesforall.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rants, raves, and MU*-related interviews from online game designer Wes Platt. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Short Attention Span Review: "Weeds". I ask that, during the last episode of the season, Nancy finds her once-dead husband coming out the shower - Bobby Ewing-style - so we can chalk this abortion of a season off to being a bad dream. Labels: Short Attention Span Reviews. Short Attention Span Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I particularly enjoyed Jim Broadbent's performance.

Plattitudes: May 2009
http://plattitudesforall.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rants, raves, and MU*-related interviews from online game designer Wes Platt. Sunday, May 31, 2009. Short Attention Span Review: "UP". Of all the Pixar movies thus far, UP has become, without reservation or qualification, my absolute favorite. And, as a heart-tugging narrative, it outclasses most live action movies out there. Labels: Short Attention Span Reviews. Sunday, May 24, 2009. Short Attention Span Review: "Angels and Demons". Occasional monologues provided exposition along the way.

Plattitudes: April 2009
http://plattitudesforall.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Ramblings, rants, raves, and MU*-related interviews from online game designer Wes Platt. Thursday, April 30, 2009. Short Attention Span Review: Fringe "4/28". Hey, Astrid got to figure out the key clue to the big mystery! Meanwhile, the professor gets a fellow mad scientist to hang out with while Olivia and Pacey go hunting for Spine Muncher. I thought it was a nice touch, mixing the agent's sister's personal drama (divorce in the making) with the X-Files antics. Labels: Short Attention Span Reviews.
