September. September already. So, Monday was a bit scary. We took Gizmo to the vets in the morning (he's breathing very heavily at the moment), found out he could either have something in his lungs or he simply has a chest infection. Jane didn't sleep very well the night before (she had a weird kind of bad headache which defies…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. An old RF favourite today, it's Squares 2! This is a reaction-based, arcade style survival game in which you control a black square and you have to avoid red squares. Survive for as long as you can, or go for the high score by absorbing other black squares. Collect…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prAvJFoTD_E It's the Special Stage from Sonic 2! I know I featured one of JemenJ's remixes not too long ago, but this was too good a remix to pass up. He takes the Special Stage music and gives it a Zombie Nation feel - incredible stuff.

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there! I hope you're having a nice day. I am - I've just been playing this cool game.

So ready for Flipper to appear now. I just can't wait to meet the little guy/gal - and I can't wait for Jane to be able to rest properly again. It's not that she's been miserable or grumpy because of the baby cramping her style - I just feel it's been long enough now, she deserves her body back. Two…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYlLN1ZIZM8 This is a mash-up of sorts - LocoRoco mixed with Hawaii Five-O. And you know what? It just works. It may be a little on the short side, but the video is full of character. I've fallen in love with those plushies! Created by Hadyn Lander What do…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This week on RGF, I'm playing a little game that goes by the name Glitch Lab, and it is, as the title suggests, a lab where you study glitches. Each level has the same basic components: a playable character that can move and jump, an entrance, an exit, that…

It's been yet another quick week. Little baby Stewart is due in three weeks if you can believe that - we're hoping that he or she comes a bit sooner than that because now is an ideal time, what with Claire and the kids being away. It would just be a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere for us to introduce the…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGVDLVCFz_Q This is a remix of Green's Stage in Gunstar Heroes on the Megadrive. Such a classic game, I remember loving the bit of the level where the goons have had a little accident in the bomb storage area on the train... This is a great remix. Created by…
Luminant Fantasia

Luminant Fantasia

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Well, this is a first. This week it's not really a game but a playable prototype on RGF - today I'm playing the battle system for Luminant Fantasia, an as yet unfinished and unreleased game. As with other variations of the active battle system, it's all about bars. Bars…
