I Saw Brer.

He is a real dude, with real body parts who lives in a real house and everything. It’s true. When I went, I was kind of assuming that it would be magical. My point of reference was the first time I visited my ex-girlfriend. It was exciting. We had only knew each other a few […]

Starcraft Ripoff Tower Defense

Epic War TD is a pretty pretty and solid tower defense title. It’s also a blatant ripoff of Starcraft. I mean, seriously, you take a look at the units running past you, and they are pretty well exactly Starcraft units with little changes. Oh, look, here’s some Zerglings, only they’re slightly glow-y. Here are some […]

Knee Deep In This Puzzle Shit: Michael J. Fox Because Michael J. Fox

I have finished the Back to the Future saga! So that’s a thing. Let’s take the ending separate from the basic plot. As I mentioned in the post about Double Visions, I really liked where the plot went. The inherent selfishness of what Marty and Doc do with the time machine was addressed in a […]

Pursuit Temperature Has Yet To Cool

There was a fourth of July sale on the app store, because seriously, any occasion is a reason for an app store sale. I had been talking to Cara about games she should get. I knew she liked driving games, and I saw Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit HD on there for a buck. I […]

I’ve Tried A Lot Of Lemonade Mixes.

I gave up soda. Yeah, me. I did that. Can you fucking believe it? In any case, I drank straight water for awhile, and while that was fine, it also felt very forced. It didn’t replace the feel-good that came from cracking open a Pepsi, since it wasn’t all that enjoyable. Thus, I started making […]

Backbreaker 2: Vengeance: The Breaking of Backs Saga

One of the Free Apps things mentioned one day that Backbreaker 2 was free. I seemed to recall Backbreaker being a big name attempt at sort of recreating NFL Blitz, and that sounded like an entertaining little game, so I picked it up. Why not? It was free, and while I don’t give a shit […]

It’s Trip To See Brer Time!

Hi! By the time you read this, I’ll be on my way to spend a week with Brer. This is both totally awesome and totally scary, but I know the trip will be worth it. It should be relaxing and lovely, and I’ll finally get to see him, finally. At least once before he moves […]

Before I Go, Here’s A Few Links

Time to dump some links on you all. I’m about to travel, so these tabs need a little clearing out to lighten my load! Tim Schafer is awesome. Doubt it? Well, just look at his latest bit of promotion for his newest game. Yeah, awesome. But is it as awesome as animated gifs starring cats? […]

Dee and Vriska

I am doing my damnedest to edit my manuscript and get it in a working state. All the work I’m totally is totally helping, too: it’s been really useful. Things are improving. Man, if I did this kind of work every day, who knows what kind of poetry I’d be making! Maybe once everything settles […]

Poison + Slow is a Tower Defense Player’s Dream. I Built Many Of Those.

I listen to all those Asymmetric podcasts, and one of the games I’ve heard them mention over and over was Gemcraft. I didn’t know much about it, but I guess it was a flash game they really enjoyed, and it got mentioned a lot. One day, I noticed it was on the App Store. Gemcraft […]
