I’m in the middle of moving house right now (and typing this from an internet cafe, since I don’t even have a phone at home yet) so there probably won’t be a whole lot of updating going on. Things should be up and running again by the 30th, at a guess.
In the meantime, take the […]
While I’m on the subject of Monkey Island, I figured I may as well post a link to this video. Apparently, I am still too stupid to know how to embed YouTube videos without them eating my damn site. Just quietly, if anyone can figure out what the hell I’m doing wrong, leave me a […]
I’ve been working on an interview with the guys at Telltale Games for a while now, but it’s done, and up at GameSetWatch, as is suggested by the headline. I spoke to their CEO, Dan Connors, and the senior designer on the new Sam & Max game, Dave Grossman. This was pretty exciting for a […]
Well, the Golden Joystick Awards are on again. Once again, they’re being organised by Future plc, “international special-interest media” who employ “over 1,500 people worldwide”, none of whom, bizarrely, are me.
For the uninitiated, this is pretty much the closest thing that the games industry has to an official awards ceremony, albeit one that’s voted for […]
Firstly, intelligent readers will no doubt notice that there have been no posts since last Thursday, coincidentally the day that New Super Mario Bros. (which has sold a mildly astonishing 1 million copies in it’s first two weeks in Japan) was released in Australia. Ergo, I’ve been somewhat reluctant to do anything other than […]
I know, it’s weird. But I’m really starting to just get bored of the whole PlayStation 3 deal, which is probably a bad sign, since it’s not even due for another five months. Essentially, I was going to comment on Ken Kutaragi’s latest rantings, but I really can’t be bothered.
Oh, okay. Maybe a little bit. […]
Breaking news from Holland: fear not, games addicts! The Smith & Jones Wild Horses Center in Amsterdam - “the first, full-service, outpatient, 12-step based, “Minnesota Model” addiction treatment facilities in the Netherlands” - is here to help!
The centre began when, Keith Bakker (above - and from the site, I might add) was unable to get […]
Sometimes I like to think that I actually understand mathematical concepts. I am, for example, a bit of a fan of prime numbers, and pi. Also, I seem to run a website named Little Mathletics. This has lead to me randomly being asked for help with mathematics assignments on Skype on more than one occasion. […]
Actually, while I’m on this whole linking-to-things-that-I-do trip, I may as well point out that I did a review of Rebellion’s Rogue Trooper for The Gaming Shack Network. Mostly, I’m mentioning this because I just received the Da Vinci Code game in the mail today for the purpose of review, which I shuddered and felt […]
I’ve had a lot of people contacting me lately asking why I’m not doing interviews anymore. Well, I am, just not for Little Mathletics - they’ll now be appearing at GameSetWatch, which is great, because I’ve always loved what Simon and co. are doing over there. I’m tempted to gush more, but I think I’ll […]
