Today’s post is just a bunch of must read material that’s finally achieved critical spooge mass:

1. Sirlin’s talk on competitive multiplayer was one of my top three favorite talks at this year’s GDC. You can get all the juicy details from his very helpful handout
2. The post mortem for Tale of Tale’s Graveyard.
3. Fairly sobering reflection on 2008 from Introversion (Uplink, Defcon, Darwinia, etc.).
4. Destructoid’s “Everything You Wanted To Know About Going Indie”.
5. The Four Hour Game Design from this year’s IGS. Genius.

That’s it for this week.
