Two weeks…

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

It’s been two weeks…
I don’t really have anything to show for it though. My first week of holidays andÂ
my dad gets me to work for him in the office.

He’s the ‘boss’ of a small ( like, 4 person) civil/structural engineering company. So from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday I was doing small jobs; file this folder here, copy this report ‘X’ times, bank this money, go buy milk ( seriously, I did that once ;D ). Then when we got home I had a small break before dinner, a half hour maybe to check up on the websites I frequent. Then, 3 days out of the five last week dad took me for a driving lesson. While I appreciate the need to learn to drive ( and my father’s willingness to teach me himself ) it kinda went on too long, and happened too many times in a short few days, for me to enjoy it. Most days we finnished around 8pm.
And on Wednesday I went to youth group, which lasts untill 9pm.

So in the end, all my spare time not looking at websites was not huge ( well, not as huge as I would have liked/expected from my first week of holiday ). All of that time was taken up with Aquaria however. (more…)

Aquaria – Release Imminent!

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

The “Seven Days Of Aquaria” are officially started today (well, yesterday since it is in the States). In seven days time the winner of the IGF grand prize will be released.

Needless to say I am very excited about this. I’ve been looking forward to this game for almost a year. The game looks so amazingly beautiful and is so well done.

If you havn’t already, head over to the Bit-Blot webiste and check it out.

Savage 2 BETA!

Monday, October 8th, 2007

WOOT! About all I can tell y’all is: I HAS IT! :D

If you are one of the smart people who preordered before now, go log in on the site, it should say you got in too.
I don’t know why I can get it though, as there is no news post saying its been released. I’m not alone in this. Its odd, but I’m certainly not complaining! :)

I just have to make sure this doesn’t affect my exams this and next week. XD

Synaesthete

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Woah. I just stayed up till 2am (as you can see in the timestamp) playing this new game called Synaesthete. Definately worth the almost 90MB download. Think like a combination of a music game like Dance Dance Revolution and an action game kinda like Crimson Land.

Set in an amazingly colorful 3D dreamscape environment you run around avoiding/killing monsters and fighting the occasional boss battle with your lasers. Except to shoot lasers you have to push buttons in time to the music. And the music evolves and changes with you as you go through the levels and stuff. Its neat, and free to play.
