Game face

Lunch Friday with a couple of execs from a successful gaming website.

As we parted, we exchanged cards. On the back of each of theirs was an odd sounding name.

“Those are our player names,” they explained.

Hmm. I joked (or was I serious?) that I really haven’t played an interactive game since Pong, when name choices were limited to either “left” or “right.”

I returned home to find that my (similarly ancient) friend Steve has just programmed a java version of pong.
