I've recently been wondering if there might be a way to actually own a domain such that I'm not paying someone else a monthly/yearly fee. I've seen those "premium" domain names that you have to pay $1,000 for and thought "If I bought that,

I might do that 48 hours before. In the meantime, I've put a big fat message on my front page ( http://gamerhighway.com ). I think between now and whenever the vote is, others ought to do the same.

I think it would be a good idea to figure out exactly which part bothers you the most. Do you think you should get more money? Are you feeling like you have too much work to do and wish you could relax more? Is it more about being jealous t

I had a friend who had to deal with this problem. He harassed his local phone company every week for years. He looked into what a DSLAM would cost and offered to buy it for them. He pleaded that all he wanted to do was give them more mon

I hear you. I'm in the same boat with a game I just released on the XBox, piniq ( http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/piniq/66acd000-77f... ). I tried submitting a story about it here and it vanished pretty quickly ( http://news.yco

A lot of people here are quick to discount the title "The PC is dead", but I think the actual meat of what he was getting at merits consideration - walled gardens are a lot more popular today than they used to be. No doubt, there are certa

Valve does a lot of things that gamers love. They make universally acclaimed games, and they often offer them for absurdly good prices. They also managed to defeat piracy of their games with a platform that has proven surprisingly tough t

One idea that I think might work for a big company to appeal to startup-minded people is if it were actually organized like it had a bunch of start ups. Make teams of people that are geared towards actually being able to create a product,

Extra Life started not too long ago as an online fundraising event and raised 1 million this year alone. I'd say it's rather successful. The trick is to get other people raising money and spreading the word. It can't just be the internet

I'll second this. My "Hello World" is Pong. Whenever I want to test how well I know a new language, I make pong in it. It's relatively simple but will allow you to play with several fun things like animation and button mapping. Plus, yo

I'd be interested to know your take on what made the 80s an easier era to start in. Is it mainly that the field is more competitive now than it used to be, or are there other factors as well?

Have you successfully marketed a game? If so, what were some things that you did to market it? I see games in magazines and websites, and usually it's the AAA companies that get easy marketing no matter what they do, but often times when
