The first version of You Shall Know The Truth, my Wikileaks Stories game, is done. There’s still some small issues that need to be worked out (the fonts aren’t displaying correctly, a couple of numbers need tweaking), but I’ll do that tomorrow. And then it’s done, and just needs a …
Look at this and tell me we’re not at war. The battle ahead is against us. The 1% want what little you and I have left. The question is: will you keep buying into the new Enemy of the Moment (the public sector, terrorists, Muslims, Greeks, Eurasia, Eastasia…) or will …
Something I hadn’t linked to before (because I didn’t think about it) is the online version of The Great Machine: A Fragment. It’s basically just the game’s Z-Code file run with Parchment, and it doesn’t print the text the way I’d prefer (in page-sized chunks), but it’s a nice way …
Tom Jubert (of Penumbra fame) has been writing a philosophical critique of The Infinite Ocean. I can’t tell you how excited and happy I am about this. Not just because he has positive things to say, though I won’t deny that it gladdens me; but because what I dreamt of …
I made myself a Formspring account. Why? Well, Gregory Weir did it first. (And about a million other game developers I know.) I’m not expecting as many questions as he got, but I think it might be a useful way of answering questions in one place. Lately people have been …
We’re back in the land of the living, more or less. My stomach is still somewhat unstable, I get nauseous on occassion and a headache is never far… but I’m way better than before. And Verena is pretty much fully recovered now, though she was pretty sick, too. That was …
I caught some sort of virus yesterday, and spent the entire day either screaming in pain or vomiting, with the addition of running a fever that’s left me feeling completely burned out. I’ve recovered a tiny bit today – enough to eat a banana and keep it down – but …
The Escapist has just published by newest article, a strange little thing called Second-Hand Elf. I’m quite proud of it, though I’m very aware that it may bother some people. I was considering preparing a list of responses to the most common objections (“Tolkien stole from everywhere!” – simply not …
Lately I’ve been intensely disappointed with cyberpunk authors Bruce Sterling and William Gibson. The latter has enthusiastically retweeted the most inane pseudo-philosophical articles about Wikileaks, most of which entirely miss the point of the enterprise and speak only in clichés and/or falsehoods. The worst of all these was written by …
I rarely post Greek music here, even though there is a great deal of it that I love. But right now I really feel like posting this amazing song, which is heavier and grander than the heaviest and grandest heavy metal song. Yup. Project update tomorrow.
