October, A Return To Peace & Quiet?

Well, blimey, I'm finally back at home again, and glad not to be traveling any more. But first things first - the picture to the right is for the October issue of Game Developer magazine, in which the Top 20 Publishers were revealed - for those who are interested, EA was top once again this year.

Also going to press soon is the November issue of the mag, which features a cover postmortem of the Deathwalk feature in Human Head and 3D Realms' Prey, and a rare design article from Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield - v. neat, watch out for it soon!

As for the two trips I mentioned in my previous post - the jaunt to Japan for both Tokyo Game Show and a little holiday with Holly was very successful - there are lots of pictures on my Flickr account, and there's a full round-up of my coverage over at Gamasutra. Actually, London Games Festival (and seeing my folks!) was great too - didn't quite get round to taking any pics, but there's plenty of coverage over at Gama.

Fortunately, there's no need for more strenuous travel for a little while (besides an entirely leisure-based trip to Las Vegas in December!), so we can sit back and relax a little. I'm going to keep cataloging my comics stash, which I've been adding some random stuff to recently. And I'm still having lots of fun with GameSetWatch and our various columnists, as well as Monotonik, actually chilling out, and so on. Happy October, all!
