We live to the rhythm…

Whoa…Hi to all the new people!

Yes, yes.  I know most of you are only here hunting for Loki…or donuts…or Loki and donuts but still…HI!!

GamingHUD is your source for all things E3 this week.  Well, it is my source but you all are welcome to join in and check out all the new and soon-to-be released gaming stuff. I am looking forward to the whole Smart Glass thing because trying to search for movies on netflix with the game controller is a huge pain (grin) but I know most people are waiting for news on their particular favorite game or franchise. Dean and Aldath are living on energy drinks, coffee and sheer willpower this week so they won’t miss a minute of the conference.

I’ve started packing for vacation which basically means I am hunting for Scooter’s shoes. I think they are sentient and actually hide themselves when I am not looking but so far I have been unable to prove this.

I have been sort of following the Diamond Jubilee. By following I actually mean reading Jack Moore’s tweets and watching an occasional vid but whatever.

Then I found this.  I have no words.

It came like lightning from out of the sky…

Well, hello there hurricane season

Dean Gillett interviewed MUD and game developer Kavir (Richard Woolcock) for GamingHUD.  Whether you play MUD’s or not this is a good look at the game development process with little bits of online gaming history thrown in.  From the interview:

The general design goal of God Wars II was to create a game with the same theme and playing style as the original God Wars, as that had already proven successful – but to also design the architecture from the ground up to properly support the more advanced features I’d wanted to add over the years. Some of those features were dropped or redesigned because they didn’t fit the gameplay, or because they added realism at the expense of fun. But in general, I think God Wars II has successfully combined what I feel are the best of both worlds – a clear theme and fun gameplay, supported by detailed and innovative mechanics…”

Baking bread today although “baking” and “bread” are both slightly misleading as wonderful bread-to-be is still in all its component parts.   Obviously more coffee is needed to convince all the ingredients to form an actual bread-like substance.

The Argonian (shown in pic on right) is all kinds of awesome.

That is about all I can manage without more coffee. And possibly lunch.

  • Blurred…
    February 12, 2013 | 4:06 pm

     I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...]

  • Arc & Stones…

    Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass).  I had [...]

  • Telegraph Taboo…
    January 21, 2013 | 8:45 am

    So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...]
