Happy New Year!

Posted by GBGames on February 4th, 2010

I know. I’m very late, but I didn’t mean for the new year to start without me! What can I say about 2009? What does 2010 have in store?
Let’s look back on 2009 first. I created an index card and kept it with me throughout the year to remind me what I wanted to focus [...]

There was an MK vs [...]

Game Design for the Color Blind Player

Posted by GBGames on April 25th, 2008

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 [...]

LD#11: Minimal Sunday Breakfast

Today’s breakfast was minimal:

That’s orange juice with extra pulp right there. Mmm, hmm!

LD#11: Saturday Dinner

Posted by GBGames on April 19th, 2008

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.
Unfortunately, I also found out that my fridge is leaking. I’m not sure [...]

The beautiful and lovely Mandy at work:

The meal. Rice and stir fried chicken, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, garlic, and shitake mushrooms, topped with chopped spring onions and nori strips, washed down with [...]

Richard Stallman Finds Love Through World of Warcraft

Posted by GBGames on April 1st, 2008

RMS is known for his promotion of Free Software, or maybe more so for his disdain of non-Free, proprietary software. So it came as a surprise to many visitors to the GNU home page to see an announcement not asking for a call to arms against software patents or so-called DRM, but to say that [...]
