Redoing the site

New design (variable width ftw!), new portfolio, updated resume…hopefully this will be bigger and better.

Assassin’s Creed 2 Thoughts

Put simply: GOTY.

I’m loving this so far. I was all over the original’s story, but not so much the repetitive investigations. Now, though, it’s been vastly improved, and I can’t wait to finish this one.

LD48 – FINISHED!

Check out my entry here, or on this site’s page here. I’m so amazingly happy that I was able to participate in this–it’s truly an incredible experience, and I think it’s quite ignited my creativity for a bit. Thanks LD48!

I’d really appreciate play-throughs of the game and emails with comments. Also, I’ll post a proper post-mortem later. Thanks everyone.

LD48 #15

I’m competing, follow me! Very excited because this is my first LD. I’ll cross-post a proper post-mortem on both blogs once the weekend is over, but I think I’ll only have time to update one (if any) during the weekend. You can check out my Twitter feed though (on the right!) for up-to-the-minute updates!

Harry Potter and the Disappointing Film

Wow, that might be the most unclever title I’ve ever written. I’m setting new goals for myself every day, really.

Anyway, the bottom line is that I thought the new HP film lacked action, lacked mystery, lacked chemistry, and felt like a bridge between two “good” stories, which I suppose it is. I kept waiting for the excitement to ramp up–and it never did.

One of the worst, if not the worst, of the six, in my opinion.

World of Goo

I fail epicly. I never would’ve bought it, without the glory of Steam Weekend Sales, and I’m just getting around to playing it.

Can’t get past the third (?) level. I guess this is why I was never an architect?

Merry Christmas

I celebrate Christmas in a special, New Age hippy kind of way.

So Merry Christmas all sons of Sun
