Playing “Machinarium”, #1

Today I started playing Machinarium, a point-and-click adventure game with a distinct art style and soundtrack. I’ve had some of the soundtrack saved on my Spotify for about a year now and it’s finally time to play the game!

Playing “Getting Over It”, #12

Today I completed my 25th run and I heard two new quotes and a song I’d never heard before. I wonder how much more there is to discover. I also tried playing on “beautiful” graphics instead of 60 fps and wow, those clouds look so good!

Playing “Getting Over It”, #10

Status update: I’ve completed about 20 runs and it’s becoming relaxing. The all the stages feel familiar and I’m not concerned about falling.

Discovering Katelabs

I found a really cool art program called Katelabs! It’s a level editor with a bunch of low poly 3D models and some creative limitations. The potential for surrealism is off the charts! I played a world called dream metro quadrilogy by bagenzo and it’s so good.

Playing “Getting Over It”, #9

Today I completed my first sub-10 minute play through and it was really awkward. When I reached the end, I waited for Bennett to finish his comments. But the moments were gone, and by his own definition, I had transformed his words into garbage.

Unscripted, #4

Today I read a fascinating article by Olivier Duong about photography and gear acquisition syndrome. Gear and how it relates to art is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time and it’s great to see a fresh view.

Playing “Getting Over It”, #5

I rode the snake six more times. I need to be “over” it. I’m not sure how many more times it will take, but I’ll know when I get there.

Playing Minecraft, #3

Today I played Pocket Edition. I went mining with my brother and we found diamonds! The world’s limited resources make me carefully consider how I spend them. Like if I make gold armor, there might not be enough gold left in the world to make the nether reactor (this actually happened before; it was so…

Playing Minecraft, #2

Today I played some more Minecraft! I went caving and got a music disc (Wait – C418). I didn’t realize I had picked it up until I got back to the surface, then I remembered a skeleton shot a creeper, so I guess that’s how I got it. I really like the new caves. They…
