I haven’t been very happy with most of the film-related articles on the World Socialist Web Site, but their appraisal of the arrest of Roman Polanski is the best I have read so far, covering the actual facts and motivations behind it in detail. Definitely worth reading. They’ve also put …
Lately I keep getting more and more spam, much to my annoyance. Apparently the bots have picked up my email again somewhere. On top of that, half the spam is addressed to “Gordon.” At least I’m not getting “Cheap Protection against Headcrabs!” and “Enlarge your Physics Gun” spam yet.
Yesterday went quite well. I only managed to finish three levels, but that’s because I decided to add/change some graphics, and because a major crash forced me to redo an entire area (I hadn’t saved after putting in all the creozoids). But I’m still happy with the results, so it’s …
Looks like I’m not going to be finishing Phenomenon 32 in September after all. It’s not far from completion, but level-building is taking longer than anticipated, and so is remixing the music. It’s not that any of it is difficult per se, or that I’m having conceptual or design issues …
I wanted to write about some of my favourite books, and start the post with the idea that by knowing what someone loves, you learn something about them as a person… and then Verena stole my idea. And it’s hard to do something about it when you’re part of the …
Once more – if you’re in Germany, get out there and vote. You know the CDU and FDP and NPD and Republikaner mainly stand for Evil, but also remember what the SPD and the Greens stand for. My friend Julian posted a partial list: War against Yugoslavia War in Afghanistan …
I’ve posted this before, and I’ll probably post it again, but with the coming elections here in Germany this is an important reminder of what the SPD (the Social Democrat Party) actually stands for. It was the SPD and the Greens that went to war against Kosovo, a war as …
My friend Ivo (aka Qondory Weary) has, once again, started updating his blog. I’d like to take a tiny bit of credit for that, though not more than 5% – after all, he’s a writer, and the urge for writing is alive in him. The one bad thing about blogging …
There is no podcast, because I spent all my time working on the research system in Phenomenon 32, and forgot to record one. So no podcast for you, but nearly 30 things to research. Quite a few of them are even useful. Isn’t that awesome? If you’re bored, why don’t …
I’m not a huge Pixar fan. I admire their technical abilities, but I don’t worship every film they make. I liked Wall-E quite a bit, but Finding Nemo bored me and Ratatouille was excruciatingly bad (and racist to boot). I’m not one of the people who immediately light up the …
