[work] Incoming game... Bet to Win (iOS)
Here is one of those once-every-several-months (or years) occasions where I talk about a game that the company I work for released. (I didn't work on this one, but one I'm working on should be out in a couple of months) Here's the promo video:
To commemorate the occasion, we're giving away an iPad Mini. To enter to win, share the video via the ( Read more... ) -
Ludum Dare 23 entry
I haven't posted in a while so I might as well post this here too. :)
Ludum Dare is a competition to make a videogame (solo) in 48 hours. I've known about the event for quite a while now, but this past weekend was its 10 Year Anniversary so I thought I'd see if I could finally make something for it. The theme this time was "Tiny World", so I made ( Read more... ) -
Incoming Game
A game that my co-workers worked on was released a couple of weeks ago. I don't think that many of you own a Kinect, but I wanted to mention it anyway... Motion Explosion.
123Kinect gave it a 6/10, but the description was pretty favourable. The author says it would have been 7 or 8 if there were (simultaneous) multiplayer and LIVE features. ( Read more... ) -
Birthday stuffs and misc
A week and a bit ago was my birthday so Naomi and I went to see "Whose Live Anyway?". No Colin Mochrie or Wayne Brady, but it was funny all the same. (Greg Proops: "The rich guy and the black guy aren't here because they don't love you, but we do!") They had some audience members come up to help out at the end and the six-year-long improv ( Read more... ) -
Remixing is okay!
Ugh. After everything I've learned about the vidding community, this is kind of sad:
" @remixeverything: Are there any well-known female remixers?"
Though this could be interpreted as only audio remixing, a later tweet clarified, "Let's say women doing mash-ups or video remixes." I took it as such because of his "Everything is a Remix" project ( Read more... ) -
The King's Speech
I saw The King's Speech a couple of days ago. Even though it had a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (with 146 reviews), it was still more interesting and entertaining than I expected.
The Ontario Film Review Board's rating system goes like this: G - PG - 14A - 18A - R
The Motion Picture Association of America's rating system goes like this: G - PG ( Read more... ) -
The UnderGarden for sale on Steam
Thanks to spate, I saw that Steam is having a "Treasure Hunt" where you do stuff for the chance to win free games. Many of them involve games that you may or may not have, but some of them are "gimmes" like "create an avatar" (yesterday) or "have 10 friends on your friends list". (today & tomorrow)
Another objective for today is to play the game or ( Read more... ) -
Free games!
Edit: Round 2 - Post unlocked.
I was able to give the first group of people everything they requested. (Let me know if I accidentally skipped an email!) Except for Krat as specified below. (The copies are reserved for you :) Game counts updated. Second round allocated as I see fit.
As some of you may have seen, Steam had a sale on where you ( Read more... ) -
Driving school
So I had a couple of weekends of driving school. (My family didn't have a car when I was growing up... My parents walked to work, and I do now, and I've always lived near decent public transit so I haven't bothered to get a license before now) Our teacher was originally from the Czech Republic, and is a pretty goofy guy. With his accent, I guess ( Read more... ) -
Make Flowers, Not War!
That game I mentioned that I worked on the level editor for came out for PC and Xbox 360 last week... The UnderGarden. (PlayStation3 early next year) There's a PC demo on Atari.com, but not on Steam yet, and of course a 360 demo available on Xbox Live. Some PC users have had issues with the controls... use a 360 controller if you can. There's ( Read more... )
