THE 6:20 MAN promised a page-turner, and it delivered. What I like about Travis Devine is he makes mistakes. He’s a rookie super-spy, and while he’s quite the badass, he stumbles and second-guesses himself. It makes him three-dimensional, more than j ...more

I was desperate to finish RUN so I could catch my breath. At the risk of sounding like a book blurb, it’s a propulsive thriller. The pacing is outstanding. We’re allowed breathers only to be thrown right back into the fire after those brief respites. ...more

“items. While Monster Hunter included a single-player mode, its appeal was its online play. The five-man crew who had worked with Capcom thought some the game's networking code looked awfully familiar. "Same network infrastructure, same style of gameplay [as the PS2 Diablo title]," Joe Morrissey said. [Return to Chapter]”

“Unfortunately, calculating square roots was not the Atari 2600’s strong suit.”
David L. Craddock, Arcade Perfect: How Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, and Other Coin-Op Classics Invaded the Living Room

“In 1976, Bill Joy, the hacker who would lead development of BSD UNIX, wrote a text editor called vi, short for "visual," that allowed users to move their cursor and edit text anywhere on the screen.”
