Anonymous asked: Is there ever going to be another The Suffering? I love those games and would love to see another sequel, or at least an HD remake?

The Brothers Warner own the rights after their great Midway buy-out.  I’d be up for it if they were!

Steve Ogden is known for many things.  He’s the studio art director over at Firaxis, you know, the guys who make Civilization and nuveau X-Com.  He does a ton with online comics, such as Moontown and Croaker’s Gorge.  Some may even know him as the guy who did the illustrations for my book, Game Design:  Theory & Practice, and helped bring Atomic Sam to life.  And a super long time ago we worked on a game together, but this isn’t about any of that… 

Now he’s gone and written a book, more specifically a collection of short stories.  I mean, it’s irritating, right?  What does the guy not do?  And do well.  Yes, he does it all well.  I got a real kick out of Headstones and Monuments.  It’s a collection of spooky (not scary) stories, some are almost autobiographical (indeed), some more over the top, some defy easy classification.  I like the “story notes” he includes at the end, explaining the origin of each story - some have been around for a while, many were made just for this collection, but all have interesting backstories of their own.  And most importantly they’re all good and worth your time.  I recommend the print edition, because I always do.

But c'mon, Steve.  Isn’t it time to stop making the rest of us look lazy?
