Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Rise of the Triad is a game I really loved working on. Well, the original one, I didn’t work on the newer Interceptor version. ROTT was by far my personal highlight of my 20 years working in the videogame industry. Not only was I a mapper in the game, I was a character […]
It’s December 3rd, 2013. That means that 20 years ago, it was December 3rd, 1993. What is the big deal with that? Well, a company I worked for released two new games on that date. “Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold”, and “Duke Nukem II”. That’s right, Apogee (my Apogee, not the current one – from […]
I’ve long been a fan of the old “Siskel & Ebert” movie review shows that I recall watching as far back as the late 70’s. Back then it was the only way to get reviews of that nature. However, as the years have gone by, there’s been a lot of politics, and changing of technical […]
This is text I wrote to go with an infographic I did that appeared in an article on Kasterborous regarding length of service time for each of the 11 Doctors. Here is my full, overlay anal text to go with the infographic.
I was a game developer many a moon ago on a title called “Rise of the Triad“. The original game I worked on came out in 1994/1995, and has developed a rather cult status over the years, and it’s being revived and re-released by Interceptor Entertainment later this month (check out their site for it).

Recently in some work I did for a web client, I discovered that essential emails that were needed for work were getting sent to spam. They didn’t know that, and I didn’t discover it until my time working with them on this particular project. When I told them about this, they well, I’m not sure […]
My Review (01×07) The Sensorites is a story that for the longest time I used to skip. In my earlier days of Doctor Who fandom, I was into the 80’s stuff, and didn’t get a chance to see the Hartnell and Troughton era material until 1986. When I finally did, there was a lot of […]
He lost his job and all he had in the fall of ’09 Now he feared the worst, that he would lose his children and his wife So he drove down deep into the woods and thought he’d end it all And prayed, “Lord above, I need a miracle”
Back at my old job, I was the head of “online support”, so as such, it fell to me to test out my company’s product line with new versions of Windows software. The bulk of the old product line was old DOS games, and as Windows moved on, it became more of an issue how […]
My Review (01×06) For Doctor Who story #6, we come to one that’s in my opinion one of the strongest of the entire First Doctor era. The Aztecs was when I first started watching Hartnell era Doctor Who the earliest “perfect” story. In my mind back then (1986), it was perfect. Obviously, as I’ve […]
