Friday update 18/7/14

Flippedy-flip-flop is doing well - getting much bigger much more quickly now. Jane said they'll be putting on a pound a week from here on out. Crazy. I was moving some shelves around at work on Wednesday, giant glass ones at that, and I was moving one from one cabinet to the other and as I was lifting it, it…
Red Rogue

Red Rogue

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Another Friday, another Random Game. This week? Red Rogue. If you are at all familiar with the classic randomly-generated dungeon-crawler Rogue, then you're in for a flash-based treat with this one. You explore a series of floors, each with an array of enemies inhabiting it, lots and lots of…
Final Boss Eden

Final Boss Eden

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WwMWIAOWqE This track is usually hidden underneath a lot of sound effects and is not given enough time to shine. It builds and it builds, and the payoff is the simple fact that we never hear the track in this way in the game. Sure, it does end quite…
Super Mega Ultra Battle Robot 2

Super Mega Ultra Battle Robot 2

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This week on RGF it is: Super Mega Ultra Battle Robot 2. That's one hell of a title, right? Well, it's one hell of a game, with a lovely art style, some really lovely main character designs. This game is a scrolling shoot 'em up, in a similar vein…

Friday update 11/7/14

Nine weeks to go until little baby Stewart arrives. Exciting. This week has mostly been filled with angst (not baby-related). Families, eh? Who'd have 'em? As you get older you see things from different perspectives, see things with new eyes almost, wiser eyes, and you realise that things may not have been as cut and dry as you once imagined.…
Loved

Loved

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This game has an attitude. This game thinks it knows you better than you know yourself. This game knows if you disobey it, but it lets you. Seemingly. This game is Loved. You guide what looks to be a sack of some kind with eyes through a series of…
Tank Travel

Tank Travel

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there, welcome to another instalment of Random Game Friday! This week I'm playing Tank Travel - a game in which you control a tank and you travel around in it! Shocker! So yeah, control a tank, shoot enemy turrets, dodge their attacks, shoot chains to access stars, go…

Friday update 27/6/14

Jane and Flipper are fine - they are both getting quite big now, scary to think that they are only eleven weeks away! We went to Paulton's Park on Saturday for Ethan's birthday treat - was great fun but a little bit too sunny maybe - I felt like I was getting heat-stroke at one point. All good fun though!…

Bi-yearly update 2014

Hey, this is going to be an epic update, a half-year special so to speak. I’m going to go back and take a look at the targets I made at the start of the year and see how I’m doing with them.

With regards to the Fitness Targets – I’ve done nothing. I don’t know why. Can I not be bothered? Or do I feel like I should be doing something else? I think I feel like I should be drawing or recording videogame footage, but then, I don’t really spend enough time doing those things either, so I have no idea. I reckon I should draw up a timetable, allocate my time. It would illustrate that I have more time than I think I have. But then again, now I’ve said that I’ll put off drawing it up and won’t change until I’ve drawn it up. And a plan like that is ridiculous to think about now seeing as something that I never imagined would happen at the start of the year is happening…
