Check out some of my favorite links to other blogs and (generally) gaming-related websites. If you haven’t already, pay a visit to the Nerfbat Forums if you’re up for some massively multiplayer online game discussion. You can also head over to Bloginati for an aggregation of posts from other MMO developers. And, you can check out the company I work for: 38 Studios.
