Stealing content, taking names.
I don’t know, I’ve had very little to say all week given I’m still recovering from flu. Plus, not a lot has really happened worth noting - bit of tinkering with George’s Squizzy Griffin building some rooms, trying to make some inroads into learning XNA and a bit of fiddling with JSW:O - certainly nothing worth reporting in depth, anyway. I did play a lot of Trials 2 though…
At Home/Work With The Nerds…
Fish out of water…
That’s me right now. Manflu aside, which is causing huge concentration problems when trying to do owt, (moan,moan,whinge,whinge) over the weekend I received the room templates for George’s Squizzy Griffin from Scott to get on with building my segments.
Sunday Linky Tuesday
Hah, see what I did there? Due to manflu likely caused by an excess of ranting of late (note to self: post more happy shiny things) I’m running a few days behind this week but here goes all the same. Links and goodness and things and stuff.
Game Ovr - via Auntie Pixelante, an ace collection of game related images to idle your time over.
This is Ciellus - I meant to post a while back but it slipped my mind, more timely now that Terry has announced he’s going to be ploughing some serious time and work into it. The teaser shot made me a tad moist in departments it really shouldn’t have.
Konami attempting to censor MSG4 reviews - “Konami issued us with a list of things that we’re not allowed to discuss. This list of prohibited topics is pretty long, and even extends as far as several facts that the company itself has already made public”, the disclaimer that sets off more alarm bells than a fire at a fire alarm factory. Via The Escapist.
Collectible Design In Games - I usually subscribe to the point of view that they’re pretty much a cheap shot design decision yet I’ve spent so much time with C4 hunting down orbs in Crackdown it’s spooky. Christ, I’ve got a 4 year old who looks out for the glow and throbbing sound and points to where to go. Obviously, Realtime Worlds got something seriously right here.
The Gematria Project - I’m sure I’ve heard of this bloke before… gratuitous self promotion ahoy. My music on MySpace. May cause brain tumours.
Condemned To Hell - The Texas governor is this years keynote speaker for E3? No wonder companies are scooting off from the ESA at an epic rate. Mental.
Edge review Noitu Love 2 - and award it 7/10. An Edge 7 is roughly on par with every other magazines 40 gazillion rating. They’re still unreadable though.
Painkiller - a few weeks late on this, but some love from Yahtzee for the oft derided People Can Fly Robotron meets FPS one off (yes, there is only one - la,la,la,la,la,la etc…). To coin a phrase “what he said”. I fucking love Painkiller, it’s so gloriously dumb.
