Not So Random Links 17/7/09

Busy writing games and doodling for games at the mo, more on both of those soon-ish. Lot’s of Squid based action coming your way. Well, there’ll be one very soon providing I can find this last glitch in the bugger and fix it, but ne’er the mind – onwards with some links before I start swearing again.

The disgraceful misselling of Train2Game – NewRetro

The first time I came across Train2Game was in this here thread. Alex digs a bit deeper into some of the promotional bumf. See also here. A little bit too protective, methinks. What’s to be afraid of?

Tim Langdell, Still At It – TigSource

Shockingly abhorrent behaviour and showing no signs of letting up. The more that appears, truly, the more bizarre it gets. A Coen Brothers film surely awaits?

Homer In Silicon: Don’t Look Back & Judith – GameSetWatch

“I find myself thinking, as I do about many indie productions these days: this is not a masterpiece, but it shows the methods by which a masterpiece will one day be written.”

Hmm, sometimes I think the small things can be equally if not more masterful y’know? Judith, for me, is pretty much perfect as is.

Darkfallout – RockPaperShotgun

Gillen’s notes on his review of Darkfall for Eurogamer. Both essential reads.

Space Invaders Infinity Gene – Offworld

Man, I like the look of this. Fucked if I can afford an iPod or iPhone right now though. Also, shit name for a game.
