Thanks to ButtonMashing.com, I found Gaming While Color Blind, a post at the Amazon Game Room’s blog. The author talked about the problems he had playing the beta for Battlefield: Bad Company:
Starting out by the blue people, I saw a green guy, and shot him… minus 10 points for killing a team member. I re-spawned […]

I decided to eat a quick dinner.

That’s a vegan pizza. Now, this isn’t a fake cheese pizza, so don’t get disgusted yet. This pizza is just made with different ingredients. It’s actually quite delicious, and it only takes 10 minutes to cook.

I’m currently fighting off a cold, and everyone knows how miserable it is to be sick.
What is surprising is how hard it is to resist creating something even though you should be resting. When you’re sick is the worst time to forget to eat a meal because you’re so engrossed in your work.
Even so, […]

If you haven’t played Jason Rohrer’s games, do it now. They are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux, so unless you use something more exotic, there is no excuse for you not to.

Starting tomorrow, assuming that there are no problems, I can start moving into my new apartment. I’m running a bit behind schedule in terms of this move. I haven’t hired movers, a van, or called to get electricity and gas setup at the new place. Cable will be interesting because I would like to get […]
