Hyperpath

By Iain 13 December 2013VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Random Game Friday: Hyperpath. So, in this game, I guess you are some kind of General in charge of a fleet of colonizing spacecraft that can turn barren planets into ones that are ideal for you to inhabit. You can also terraform other races planets as well, which is…

level up noise

35 years old. Let that sink in. Thirty-five. Holy shits. I know I always say every year that I don't feel a day over 25, but for once I don't feel like 25. Jane got me a couple of really nice shirts that I am too fat to wear comfortably and some teabags. Claire, Lewis and Ethan got me a…

Friday Update 6/12/13

By Iain 6 December 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I wasn't going to do an update this week, as I usually do them on a Thursday night after work and post them early Friday morning, or schedule them for early Friday morning if I fancy an early night, but after the day I had, I was not in the mood to write anything. It's Christmas in retail yet again,…

Infectionator Hot Chase

By Iain 6 December 2013VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. A little later than usual, but here it is. This week's random game is Infectionator Hot Chase, which is kind of a mix between an endless-runner and a Nanaca Crash-style long-jump game in that you have to avoid certain things to run further, but also collect other things to…

Bomb A Bomb

By Iain 29 November 2013VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello Friday, hello random flash game. This week is a real treat. And by treat, I mean a decent idea executed to the best of this persons ability which is functional at best. And I don't think English is this persons first language. It's called Bomb A Bomb, and…

Friday Update 29/11/13

By Iain 29 November 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Let's start with work. I suffer from dry skin on my fingertips (of all places), and if I handle a lot of stock then the skin does tend to crack. I cracked my fingers at work on Sunday - not a good way to start a working week for sure. They usually end up cracked by Wednesday or Thursday, but…

Costume Quest

By Iain 22 November 2013Reviews, VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. The premise behind Costume Quest is bewitchingly simple: Kids dress up in Halloween costumes which then become hyper-realistic in combat scenarios. For example, one of the costumes is a blue robot. When roaming around the overworld, it appears to be made from a cardboard box, tinfoil and roller-skates -…

Ending

By Iain 22 November 2013VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Every Friday I sit down and play a random game. I pick them from a list which I made a while ago. I'm always adding to it, and I'm very much open to suggestions as well. Let me know if you have any games that you'd like me to…

Fridate Upday 22/11/13

Jane and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary last weekend, we went away to Lurcombe again - we really like it there. While we were away we watched The Iceman - the film of the book of the life, if you will. I read the book back in 2009, and it kick-started my love of reading again, which I guess,…

Super Puzzle Platformer

By Iain 15 November 2013VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This week I am playing... Super Puzzle Platformer. It's a game by Andrew Morrish, and it's a bit of a mash-up. As the title suggests, it's both puzzle and platform. Well, to be more accurate, it's a platform game set in a puzzle game. A kind of Anti-Mr.Driller, set…
