Icculus
Phoronix's Q&A with Ryan C. Gordon talks with the programmer also known as Icculus about his work on various Linux and Mac ports: "I'm currently living in Raleigh, North Carolina, and work as a freelance developer; mostly I'm associated with Epic Games, but that's not really accurate. They're one of my favorite contracts, but what I do for a living is somewhat like mercenary prostitution...I spend a lot of energy trying to find games to bring to alternate platforms, like Linux and MacOS, and in my free time, I work on various open source projects, and other freebies like that...so I guess I'm a hooker with a heart of gold, sorta."
Razer
Gamecloud's Razer Q&A talks with Robert Krakoff of Razer about their gaming mouse company's comeback, and their return to the fold of CPL sponsors after failing to fulfill a prize a few years back (story): "We are extremely happy to be back with the CPL. We share a unified view of the future of professional gaming, and are looking forward to building a future together. We also share similar perspectives on gaming as major entertainment. We want to raise the awareness of professional competitive gaming to the mainstream, both to the public and the potential partners who are unaware or misinformed about our world and culture. Its nice to be together again and supporting our common goals."
