Tim Minchin says everything that needs to be said about the recent revelations mildly surprising news that the Pope knew about the sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests and helped cover up for the priests responsible (thus leading to more abuse).

Dominatrix Spam
Things are getting slightly delayed again for technical, flat-related reasons. Nothing terrible, just work that needs to be done. Phenomenon 32 will be released very soon, I think. I know, I know. We’ll see. But it won’t be long now. I have other creative stuff to talk about, too, as soon as time permits. It [...]

what you could read
I’m working on the Avatar article for Commentarium, and would desperately love to finish it today, but a massive headache is preventing me from doing so. Same goes for playtesting Phenomenon 32. So, since there’s nothing interesting on this site, what could you read? Well, there’s this excellent article on Civilization I found the other [...]

It would appear we are orbiting a star.
Phenomenon 32 is almost finished. Well, actually it is finished, but I’m mulling over some sound issues right now. Not so much problems as a way of doing things a little better. But the game can be played, and it doesn’t appear to be crashing. Well, it crashed once, but I’m not sure what I [...]

A short list of things that are new
What is new in the world of Jonas? Here’s a list: New Commentarium reviews: Splice, Cop Out Commentarium now only displays the beginning of each article, making the site much easier to read. Having a tremendously entertaining discussion with an aggressive Harold Bloom troll. Continuing to post in the Roger Ebert “games are not art” [...]

My business is to Create: Roger Ebert and video games
I’ve been participating in the discussion on Roger Ebert’s article/post about video games not being art, and wanted to share a couple of brief thoughts. On twitter, Anna Anthropy asked why anyone actually cares what Roger Ebert thinks about video games. It’s a valid question, and here’s my answer: Whether we like it or not, [...]

William Bond
Here’s something different for today: the last lines of “William Bond”, one of William Blake’s poems from the Pickering Manuscript. I don’t know about you, but they make me shiver with their beauty every time I read them, especially the last two. I thought Love livd in hot sun shine But O he lives in [...]

The Good News
The bad news is that I need to work on Phenomenon 32 for a few more days. The good news is that the reason I need to work on it is that I seem to have discovered the origin of the constant crashing that was so ruining the game for me. Fixing it means a [...]

and I’d left all my papers on the Ticonderoga
The new version of Phenomenon 32 has been compiled. Tomorrow shall be dedicated to playtesting. Let’s hope I don’t find too many problems. Meanwhile, in celebration of this small but perhaps significant victory, here’s Tom Waits performing Shore Leave. It’s not exactly a song, more of a narrative with music, but it’s beautiful and atmospheric [...]
