Fat Tuesday

FYI - for all of my Catholic readers - it's Fat Tuesday, so go out and have a pizza. I would like to say have a pizza on me, but the profit margin here is a negative sum game...

Armageddon Empires

Look, just go here, download the demo and play it.


How'd that go?

Some notes I would like to share with you.

1) Looks like this guy's pretty much a one man band. Except the actual art. I sympathize.

2) Armageddon Empires is almost exactly the concept I had plotted for Ancient Empires. The big differences would have been one communal deck of cards for all players and it hadn't occurred to me how much better it would be as presented on the PC.

And it's not even written in C...

After you've played the 30 round demo about 8 times, go buy the guy's game. He deserves it.

Concerned

If you like Half Life, valve and web comics you should really spend a day reading Concerned: A humor comic based on the world of Half-Life 2. The comic has finished it's story line, which does not include the more recent Ep1 and Ep2 extensions. It's fairly consistent in its humor, and the composition is out standing. This kind of work is what motivates me to try and make web-comics. Not that I've actually gotten around to making a web comic. It's on my list.

Stop bugging me.

Did I mention that HL2 may be the only shooter I've played through 4 times. Yup. On at least 3 different machines. And I've actually got a taste to do it again. I am totally hot for what the guys at Black Mesa are doing though, which would be hawsome if they can pull it together.

Lego AND Star Wars

Most everybody knows I'm a big fan of both the Lego and the Star Wars. Well over at Boing Boing, they're catering to both.



That's pretty keen. And you can see by the light that it took a couple of days to build. I have some shots somewhere of my build of the smaller, anniversary edition 'Falcon. Also pretty keen.
