While this is a few days late, Law of the Game has officially been online for a full year. Looking back, it's been really quite amazing how much has happened in the first 12 months, from the numerous major blogs linking articles to the ABA Top 100 Blawg award to the column on Joystiq.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the readers out there for reading and supporting Law of the Game.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to note that I will be on Late Nite JengaJam this Thursday, April 10, with the opportunity for anyone to call in and chat for part of the show. The podcast should be available shortly after the show for anyone who wants to listen.

Last evening, I was invited onto a podcast to discuss Law of the Game and the new Microsoft Machinima Rule. The podcast is ClassyDude's Emporium of Chat, found here.

The podcast's description is here, and a direct download of the episode is here. It's also a news item on Halo.Bungie.Org.

I'd also like to offer one clarification. Toward the end of the podcast, the topic of receiving a letter from Microsoft came up. I think I could have more clearly explained that the person you are being contacted by is probably a lawyer, and having your own representation is highly advisable in regard to contacting Microsoft about any letter they send you. However, if you cannot afford a lawyer, you can choose to contact them yourself, but be aware you are talking to Microsoft (and probably a lawyer) and that you should be apologetic and polite without incriminating yourself.

Anyway, the podcast is a bit lengthy, but if the Microsoft Machinima Rules are of interest to you, then I think you'll enjoy it.
