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 “Final Drive Fury”
Today I played Final Drive Fury, a racing game I played many years ago. I had a brief quest finding it because I didn’t remember the name. All I remembered was that the main car was a Kia (an unusual brand for a racing game) and that I played it on WildTangent. A search for…
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!
An update on projects and plans for the holidays
I feel like some of my projects have gotten lost in the grid of new posts and I don’t want to leave them behind: Toki Pona. I’ve lost the loop on this one. I feel like Toki Pona comes to life when spoken in the real world and I don’t know anyone who’s interested in…

Today I played on Android. I think I now understand why the mobile version has a reputation for being more difficult than PC: there’s no 60 fps option on Android. It’s not too bad, but still, not nearly as smooth. Also, the game doesn’t look as good as it does on iPhone. Everything is darker…
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.
Playing “Getting Over It”, #8
Status update: I’m still playing. Earlier today I was thinking that my last several posts have been mostly the same and that maybe I should post something different today. But playing “Getting Over It” is where I’m at right now and I’m not going to tell myself “no” for the sake of variety. I posted…
Playing “Getting Over It”, #7
Today I completed the game four more times. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of the ending. I just want to keep playing! xD
Playing “Getting Over It”, notes on run #1
I want to do a full review, but I feel like I need to complete it at least a few more times to really understand it.
So here’s some notes from run #1:
Playing “Getting Over It”, #6
“Welcome to the top of the mountain.” (Spoiler warning)
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.
Unscripted, #3
One of my favorite music artists, Hyper Potions, just released a new song! Go check it out!
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 “Getting Over It”, #4
I rode the snake! (Spoiler warning)
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…
