On Jasmine Maleficent Rea's In defense of Skylanders and the collectible figures mechanic

"All my gaming journo friends teased me about Skylanders but I knew they would be popular early on -- and the game is fun! I've been churning out videos and walkthroughs of the entire game and traffic is non-stop - been a good community thus far!

On Mitch Dyer's How Not to be a Gamz Jarnalist, E3 2010 Edition

"These are all good points -- this was my 10th E3. As a seasoned media journos I wanna be able to gain access to PR contacts and see games I'm covering. I appreciate that E3 allows like 50k people to come and the excitement is fun but I almost wish that one of the days was reserved for 'real press doing real coverage'. This is also my complaint with the San Diego Comic-Con. Times have changed and everyone can whip together a graphic, biz card and blog in a matter of minutes and fool people into thinking they're some legit media outlet -- it's up to PR firms to spend more time weeding out the enthusiasts from the serious journos.

Also - if anyone with influence is reading this -- please tell the LACC to boost the AC in the South Hall -- I was so uncomfortable running around with my gear in there -- going to West was almost like taking a vacation :)

-Rob"
