The West Coast has been having all the fun since 2009. Sure, they have the sun and the surf (if you like that kind of thing), but up until last weekend, they had independent games as well. IndieCade, the internationally recognized festival of indie games had been staked out exclusively in Los Angeles for the last four years, leaving the East Coast gamers and devs to play by themselves. However, that all changed last weekend when IndieCade kicked off their inaugural East Coast expansion at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens. The three-day affair included many of the staples of the West Coast conference, including expert panels, workshops, keynotes, and most importantly games.
IndieCade was founded in 2005 in an attempt to shine some much needed light on the thriving indie game scene, which includes video games alongside board and card games, and "big games" (think outside with a bunch of people). Since then,...

The premier international celebration of indie game design kicks off today. As I type, I'm in the air, wending my way to lovely Culver City to take in three days of what promises to be awesome hands-on and panel talks. Here's what I'm looking forward to from the programming:
Punk Rock M*****F*****
Brandon Boyer, Frank Lantz, Richard Lemarchand, John Sharp
Game culture is often thought of as naive, disposable and operating in a cultural vacuum, isolated from everything other than genre fiction and Japanese pop culture. Brandon Boyer, Frank Lantz, Richard Lemarchand and John Sharp beg to differ, and offer punk rock as a case in point. Punk demonstrates the ways in which pop culture can be simultaneously exuberant, naive, primal, critical, disposable and savvy, sophisticated, intellectual, and culturally self-aware, and is therefore a wonderful inspiration for videogames. These four old school punks will talk about the overt and hidden connections between games,...

It's been nearly a month since Celebuzz last sought insight from Harvard and UCLA Med School Professor Dr. John Sharp on the subject of Lindsay Lohan's early dismissal from rehab, and as it turns out, that's all the time it took for the troubled actress to end up right back in police custody. However, the good doctor is hopeful LiLo can follow in the footsteps of Robert Downey Jr., who is well known for having visited the lowest points of drug addiction before bouncing back to reclaim his stature as an A-list leading man. Dr. Sharp has dealt with many addiction predicaments that he...

Lindsay Lohan is headed back to jail for another 30 days, but is that best solution for her right now? Judge Fox didn't even want to listen to Lindsay's excuses this time and sent her back to jail for 30 days without bail. But we all know she needs professional inpatient rehab, not more time behind bars. John Sharp, M.D., a psychiatrist and neuropsychiatrist specializing in the treatment of attention deficit, mood and anxiety disorders in adolescents and adults-- who has not treated Lindsay--thinks she needs more support and intensive treatment rather than jail. "I think...
