A Bustle in the Hive

Well, after much ado, here we are. A blog about anything that crosses my mind -- from game design to programming to MMOs to tabletop RPGs... Everything primarily geekish I guess, huh?

Who Am I?

My name is Jonathan MacAlpine. I'm a game programmer by trade. I've been doing game design and game programmer ever since I can remember. Started on GW-BASIC on the Tandy 1000 at around 5 years old. Went to NBCC Miramichi and graduated from the Electronic Game Design course, before launching into an exciting career of game programming in the real world.

I'm an avid MMO player -- have played, at some time or another, Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, Ragnarok Online, and most recently EVE Online. Also big into board games like Settlers of Catan and Risk, and tabletop roleplaying.

That's more than enough of an intro, though.
