In a Wal‐Mart world, Creative is a dirty word
Lorne Lanning will be speaking at the meeting for the Chicago chapter of the IGDA (the International Game Developers Association) on the evening of Tuesday, August 23rd.
He will be speaking in a multi‐media presentation called ‘In a Wal‐Mart world, Creative is a dirty word’. Where he will be talking about the creative process, sources of inspiration, how Yoda saved his life, why the label of ‘Creative’ has become a liability, how game engines will change film making forever, the importance of modern mythology in our corporate owned media landscape, why owning your own brand can be a handicap in today’s marketplace, and how digital distribution is the great hope for creatives as we continue heading deeper into a brave new world of media.
Dan Choi of Joystiq will be there and is going to ask Lorne a few questions, if you have some good question ideas drop them in the comment section of his article.

Thanks Anonymous who wanted the April archives. I'll add them to the archives page tomorrow - it's been a busy night.

I was also wondering if Oddblog could update it's News Archives. I was interested in some April 05 news... and I couldn't find it here anywhere.

Update: Dan Choi did manage to ask Lorne some of the questions in the Comments area. He hopes to get them up within the next 24 hours (well, he said by Thursday morning, and we must allow for time zones.)
I don't know if anybody but Xavier or Max managed to ask questions (of people from the Forum,) and unfortunately, Mr Choi probably didn't choose those two.
In his words, he did get to ask Lorne "a few of [the] questions."
Anyway, we can only hope.
Oh, and OWF is down, as if everybody didn't already know.

The forums have been hacked...then again, Alcar may have just been having a laugh and done it himself. But I'm sure he wouldn't do thaaat. *reproachful look* Someone poke him in the eye and tell him what's happened, he probably knows, but even so, everyone loves poking people in the eye!
