Some stories are written with sledgehammers. They don’t care about your feelings. Look up “unsubtle” in the dictionary, and they’ll take the dictionary and slam it in your face. I’ve written one of them, and since it’s unlikely to appear in a magazine, I present it here. I’m too sick …
Alright, so this isn’t my big project update post thingy. I’ll put that up later. But here’s a clip that makes me laugh so hard I get weak in the knees: Ah, Frankie Boyle. Now there’s a genius.
I’m getting really tired of getting ripped off all the time. You work hard, you make money, you try to accomplish something for yourself and the world, but you’re faced with a corporation-dominated world in which your every cent is squeezed out of you in the name of profit. We’ve …
If this song were any more awesome, my head would explode.
R.E.M. announced they were done as a band a while ago, which evoked some rather bittersweet emotions in me. I was a big fan of theirs; there are few bands that can write so much good music without repeating themselves. I don’t think they were wrong to stop if they …

Gregory Weir’s Looming is probably my favourite of all his games. Highly atmospheric and extremely well-written, it tells the story of a strange world called Looming through what is essentially archaeological exploration. It’s a haunting and extremely memorable game; there’s nothing quite like it, really. And at some point it …
I’m having one hell of a back problem. The last two nights, getting out of bed took me fifteen minutes. I can’t look up and have to keep my head at a weird angle all the time. I can’t bend down, either. The pain and the difficulty of moving are …
The universe has this annoying way of balancing things out. Yesterday I was fine. I felt great physically, had just come up with a new game idea, everything was wonderful. This morning I got up and felt a small ache in my back. It’s probably nothing, I thought. Five minutes …
Man, was I burned out. I hadn’t really realized just how much until we got to Greece and I spent a few days doing nothing. Well, not precisely nothing: getting back into shape by walking to the sea every day (40 minutes downhill), swimming (usually about an hour), walking back …
