Cake Monsters

Cake Monsters

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Friday? Check. Random game? Check. RGF this week: Cake Monsters. I love colours. I love combining them, too. Which is just as well really, as this game involves mixing monsters to eat multi-coloured cakes. Built with powerful browser-based game creation tool PuzzleScript, Cake Monsters features monsters that love cake,…

Combo Breaker!!!

Microsoft just told me they are giving me all the characters in Killer Instinct on the Xbox One for free. While that is very kind of them, I hope I can still use this code next year when the console is a bit cheaper and is no longer bundled with Kinect.

Videogame writing

Ok, so I'm not going to copy and paste all the videogame writing I do on the main site over to here - it's just the wrong style of writing for a personal blog. Keeping it brief on here, just outlining what I have been playing, and keeping the "reviews" for the main site. I was talking about leaving posts…
Pizza Wizard

Pizza Wizard

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. It's Friday and I feel like playing some random game. That means it's Random Game Friday! Up this week is Pizza Wizard - a nice little browser-based game involving tower defence which owes more to Missile Command than StarCraft. You stand atop your tower and waves of enemies approach…
Plants Vs Zombies 2: It’s About Time

Plants Vs Zombies 2: It’s About Time

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. I downloaded this for my Nexus 7 last week, and feel like I've only just scratched the surface to be honest - I'm about halfway through full Egypt completion - and Ancient Egypt is only one third of the current game. It's basically more Plants Vs Zombies, but not…
Super Hot

Super Hot

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. http://superhotgame.com/ Here's the concept: In this game, time only moves when you do. You are dropped into a super-stylised world (which I thought was very Mirror's Edge), and large, caps locked words immediately bark instructions at you - and your instinct is to obey, and enjoy. Little do you…
Enough Plumbers 2

Enough Plumbers 2

This was orginally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hey, here's a neat twist on the old Mario formula - every time you collect a coin, you get an extra plumber! I don't mean you get one more life in reserve, I mean one extra plumber on the screen at the same time as your existing plumber. Get…

600th post spectacular – Questions galore

Ok, so the numbers say that this will be post number 600. I feel like I want to do something special for it, and after having a little think, I remembered that I’m currently reading a book on my Nexus called “Be creative” by Infinite Ideas – it was free and has so far given me a few decent tips. In one chapter it had a list of questions you should ask of yourself in order to understand yourself, because how often do you actually stop and question things?

So, here we are with the questions and answers. I endeavoured to be as brutally honest as I could be and I gave each question a lot of thought. I ended up spraying my thought process on to the page as I was typing, and I did repeat myself a little, so be warned!

WARNING!!! VERY LONG POST!!!
