And here’s a Spanish-language review of The Great Machine. As you may or may not know, I cannot speak Spanish. Speaking Greek and German and English (and some French), however, I can kind of decypher some. I did end up having to use Babelfish a lot, with hilarious results, but …
This is a fairly good article on the situation in Greece. Most of what I’ve read online is kind of annoying – a lot of it makes Greece sound very primitive, which is absurd, and also quite disturbing, in that it represents the current crisis as the result of “extremism” …
I’m a little short on time this week, as there is a lot that has to get done (most of it unpleasant). So I won’t write much right now. Gameboomers user Chief has been kind enough to write a walkthrough for Desert Bridge. Thanks, Chief! Madagascar 2 was actually quite …
*ahem* Perhaps I should sound more dignified. Perhaps I should do the whole “been there, done that” thing. I’ve had reviews before. Hell, I’ve had reviews in printed magazines. Well, once. Maybe twice. But the point is, I’ve been making games for eight years now, Last Rose has been called …

It …
Desert Bridge now has a proper installer, a manual, and stuff like that. I have fixed quite a few little bugs and inconsistencies that cropped up, and sent out one more version to the testers. I am very much hoping to release the game tomorrow, but I can’t promise anything. …
Sorry for not updating – first I had the flu, then a piece of my filling broke off and dug itself into my gums. Thankfully, while the whole thing was unpleasant, the damage to the filling itself was not severe. The dentist removed the sliver from my gums today, and …
From: Obama administration begins to take shape Obama’s transition team, which will assist in assembling his cabinet, is headed by John Podesta, former chief of staff to Bill Clinton and one of Washington’s most successful corporate lobbyists. Co-chairing the transition team are Valerie Jarrett, a long-time Obama advisor, Chicago real …
So yes, Obama won. Not much of a surprise, though I won’t claim that I was entirely sure. And I can’t deny that I’m much happier that he won instead of McCain. And I also can’t deny that this is an important moment in history, and that it will have …
