  1. Lazy #gamedesign = using a towers of hanoi variant for a puzzle. It's never fun, and always tedious. How does it end up in big games?
  2. RT @bbrathwaite: My return to game development on The Escapist: http://bit.ly/6bR4z4
  3. The mysterious hex cloud system of saturn http://bit.ly/4WUPyi sure looks like the effect from this water experiment http://bit.ly/8UgY1z
  4. Neil Gaiman's dog looks so very much like my Zoe. http://bit.ly/81lTBj vs http://bit.ly/7hkBOE
  5. Wrote some beautiful Perl. It may look like line noise, but ugly, ugly data was made right with some ridiculous regex contortions.
  6. New Philly logo, so clearly committee-designed it's painful http://philadelphia.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2009/11/23/daily23.html
  7. More rough edges than I remembered in M.U.L.E. but still fun. http://www.planetmule.com/ Hope they elim need to do port-forwarding setup.
  8. @randomcyn But the internet remembers all! Found some stuff I wrote online 10+ years ago... ack.
  9. RT @BoardgameNews: Gone Digital: Dan Bunten's M.U.L.E. is now playable online as Planet M.U.L.E. – http://tr.im/GRYN #games
  10. @bradamant Paper from rocks? That is pretty neat -wonder the energy/carbon expenditure compares to recycled paper (which isn't that bad)
  11. Installing Win7 on the Mac's Bootcamp partition. So…very…slow. I no longer disbelieve 5+ hour install times, and this is a C2Duo.
  12. RT @cmolanphy: Over December, I’ll count down my 75 fave pop songs of the Noughts. Why 75? 'Cuz 100’s too much, 50 too little. Tag: #cmo ...
  13. @wkerslake Thanks for the suggestion on colorblind testing, this seems to work well: http://www.vischeck.com/downloads/
  14. #gamedesign problem. I'm using colors to differentiate but two are green and red. Worry about colorblindness and find another visual factor?
  15. @Kate_Machine I think it's pretty cool, but my big problem is the lack of notification settings anywhere! You've gotta remember to log in.
  16. A break from re-playing KOTR (since it was on Steam for $2.50) Adding note scraps into the #gamedesign notebook. Gotta stop the scrap habit!
  17. Any comments on paper quality of Whitelines bound notebooks? Love the concept, don't want Moleskine-like ink bleeding http://bit.ly/5OUM8y
  18. @manveerheir Homeworld is one of my all-time favorite games as well. Great music, art, story + solid gameplay.
  19. @socialiteapp Spiffy! Unfortunately Facebook integration is still nearly useless to me with having to manually expand all the comments.
  20. http://captainforever.com is a neat game concept. Wish the camera integration actually worked on my iMac though.
