I’m sitting here watching starcraft on tv as I write this blog and it is sweet
My day started at 6:00 nzst getting up and showering as usual. I arrived at the at 8 ish and checked in without a hitch, though I did get a jar of honey confiscated because my dad put it into the wrong bag :/
I found I need to go to the little boys room, but there was one small hitch,it flushed automatically. A lot. Now I wouldn’t normally talk about toilet habits but this is just plain stupid. The toilet uses infra-red light to sense if someone is there or not. Trouble is I lean forward sometimes (because I slouch ok?), so you can imagine how annoying it was before I got the “trick” (cover the sensor with one hand ).
The flight itself was pretty uneventful, I watched 5 episodes of battlestar galactica before devising not to run my battery to the ground (had about 30% battery left at this point) so I decided to watch the inflight stuff. I originally planned to so a bsg marathon, but the lack of usb ports to charge my phone with stopped that . I ended up watching how to train a dragon with my lunch. Firstly airplane meals are actually pretty good…for the most part, more on this later. Secondly how to train a dragon is actually pretty good too, I ended watching the whole thing
My second meal wasn’t so great. It was some tasteless pasta with average chicken, ice-cream and a salad. The pasta totally ruined it. The movie I chose with it was also rubbish. It was the spy next door, I only chose it because i like spies, I hadn’t actually heard of it before…. it turned out to be one of those Jackie Chan comedy action romances…It was really painful to see Mr Chan embarrass himself like that so I turned it off.
I’m staying at a hotel likely owned by Korean air, It’s pretty good and there was kimchi at dinner! I’m going to take a shower then sleep because although its only 21:57 here in incheon, its almost 2 in NZ.

Enjoy the photos below
Among them:
Pretty clouds,
Obligatory bathroom shot,
Unhealthy level of water in bathroom,
Weird kgb bar?
Pc baang sign, couldn’t find it though…
The view from my room,
And me tired after 11hr flight

Ps. I sat next to this nice Korean girl on the flight, super cute too. Shoulda taken a photo with her

Pps. All this was typed on my hero :3

On holiday as of today =D
Unfortunately, I’m unable to bring my laptop due to unforseen reasons, so I basically can’t do much realated to games, though I can still take pictures and put them on the blog =D
See you on the other side!

Thats the name for a series of games starting with Unfinite ammo. The next one will be unfinite escape and will be done in 3 weeks? (I’m in china starting the next saturday for two weeks in which I should be able to get some work done…) but you have a kongregate release of Unfinite ammo to look forward to this week!

I’ve recently started playing Deus Ex and it’s been pretty good. I can see why it would’ve been mind-blowing at the time, but it has yet to hook me in. For the uninitiated, it’s  like a cross between a linear Fallout, meets Metal Gear Solid, with a dash of Mass Effect. I think I may do a series of write ups on it detailing my exploits, with screenshots =D

I may or may not also post a DoomRL game-through (!?!?)

Awesome game for today,

~Till tomorrow!

Regular posting will resume tomorrow. For now,

=D HOSTING IS BACK ON THE TABLE!!!

*AIR FIST PUNCH…thingy…*

uh…. PLEASE DON’T WATCH MORE THAN THE FIRST 15 OR SO SECONDS @@¹

Moving on…

It’s been a long time since I played Desktop Dungeons or DoomRL but THEY ARE SOO ADDICTIVE.
Especially doom, once you have a grasp of the game, it’s so easy to just sink <20mins on a game.

Desktop Dungeons is a tiny roguelike that takes place on 1 screen and controls are entirely mouse based².  Gameplay is very similiar to regular roguelikes in that you move into enemies to kill them, though there is a very limited inventory system that works REALLY WELL. You have HP potions and MP potions that restore HP and MP respectively (scaled with your level). You can carry 3 “runes” which are basically your casting spells, these also increase in strenghth as you level up. If you dislike a particular skill, you can simply “eat” it and give your stats (Strength, evasion) a bonus. Bleh, I’ll link you over here before I do more harm than good.

DoomRL. Don’t let it’s discombobulating GUI discombobulate you. It’s controls are alot simplier than your average dwarf fortress³ with only movement keys, shoot and inventory/equiptment⁴. It may not seem like doom at first, but it really is just as addictive. Words don’t do this game enough justice⁵, give it half an hour before making any judgements and you’ll be surprised! I would write up a short story, but it’s been to long since I played, maybe next post =D

Speaking of which, I promise I’ll make a post tomorrow. I’ve just been busy catching up on work and dreading the 21st (which I won’t have to anymore!)

Super Rad song:

~안녕

1. mmm TF2, I should really start playing again… [↩]
2. No more numpad horrors for laptops! Huzzah! [↩]
3. Though it’s still more complex than DD’s mouse only system [↩]
4. I think [↩]
5. At least mine doesn’t [↩]

I wasn’t gonna make a post today, but I know of at least 2 people who would kick my ass.
I wasn’t feeling well over the weekends and was hella busy so I didn’t have no time to post

Good news is I’m starting on a new collaboration game with Sergio, an artist from calkwalk7000 More on this as it comes.

Now another friend of mine made a post on overworking. I’m here to talk about the opposite.
After some disheartening events I started procrastonating like crazy never doing any work when I didn’t absolutely had to. I was in this state for over a week and I can tell you it gets worse and worse. The key thing to do is to make sure you do at least one thing on you checklist (mental or otherwise) a day. Even this little bit of…work can help snowball your good working habits. The consequences of not doing anything is actually getting more tired and even less motivated. Dangerous no?

To get out of this retarded cycle do something small on your checklist and listen to some intense music, it works!

Music for today:

The experimental gameplay project, a new theme every month a so.

Here’s the list of the games made on the last theme.

Hurr, I’ve started using pidgin as an IM client…

A friend of mine has been reviewing his iPad here for the index.

Nothing else really worth noting today…

So… DOUBLE SONGS!

Well technically, its 1 song and it’s remix, but whatever… *shrugs*¹

1. I’ve been really out of it lately (Even in “real life”) whatever that means… [↩]

Wikipedia is notorious for it’s ability to suck you in for hours at a time reading crazy articles, tonight was no different.

I happened to be reading questionable content and there was a link to the Tank Man which lead to the Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century which in turn lead to Project Chanology and seeing as I didn’t really know what scientology was, I investigated. Boom, there goes a large chunk of my evening…

Also I played this:

Music!

I <3 War Drums:

Sorry for the lack of posts over the weekend, I had absolutely NO TIME. Any downtime was spend sleeping
But hopefully this posts excess of awesome rabbits will redeem me.

: )

PS. There will be no “make-up” game for last week, sorry

I was doing some research on Mozambique for Model United Nations and on wikipedia, one thing leads to another and I found these 2 counters:

http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html²

Those numbers are estimates of the current population in china and america respectively. Makes you feel kinda insignificant in the grand scheme of things huh?

Short post again except to say that the HDH tourny is over and check out
