  1. @thirdRaven Yeah, it works really well! But I think we'll end up grabbing a physical copy as well ;)
  2. After a visit to @thirdRaven's, Rena and I are very into Carcassonne. iPad version is pretty sweet, as is this pic: twitter.com/jason_bakker/s…
  3. @danielben Sounds like a great idea! I like how you were you wearing Journey shirts as a reference to being @thatgamecompany's replacement.
  4. I learned to refactor through experience and trial and error, but ended up with pretty much the same shortlist of warning signs.
  5. I got a real feeling of programmer solidarity after reading en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell.
  6. @notjona Haha, we're up for it! When's good for you(se'all)? Tonight? :D
  7. Tried using textasticapp.com to work on my presskit() on the weekend. Worked surprisingly well! FTP, syntax highlighting, cool keyboard.
  8. @hachque Sweet :)
  9. @hachque Mine's jason dot bakker at gmail, if he hasn't gotten back to you yet. :)
  10. @NoelFB I'd subscribe!
  11. So many mobile devices are primarily input focused. I'd kickstart the heck out of an output focused mobile device.
  12. @moshboy @indiegamemovie @andrewbrophy I'll be there!
  13. Beautiful animation, and an incredibly engaging and emotional story. Doesn't shy away from death.
  14. Finally re-found Rikki Tikki Tavi. I'd watched this as a child, but forgotten the name and that it was a Kipling story. youtube.com/watch?v=0CrEX4…
  15. @Mr_Timothy_Ryan It's a cool game, and that element is one of the key inspirations for my current project. :)
  16. @TheMeadow7 @TheVoxelAgents @Heller_MMGN It works pretty well in the Total War battles, but those aren't the strategy part of the game.
  17. @TheVoxelAgents @Heller_MMGN @TheMeadow7 Oh, Valkyria Chronicles is *amazing* if you haven't played it. Not really strategy. But so good :P
  18. @TheVoxelAgents @Heller_MMGN @TheMeadow7 TW games are pretty safe for that, you can pause battles at any time and overworld is turn based..
  19. @TheVoxelAgents Cool. Yeah, I'd recommend it :) It's aged a bit, but has some cool and inspiring things going on.
