My house has temporarily been turned into a game. The rules are pretty simple: Don’t touch the floor in the kitchen or the stairs - they’ve just been lacquered. Upstairs is my room and my parents’ bedroom. Downstairs is food and drink, the toilet, and the outside. Until the lacquer dries, there’s only one way to move to and from my room (and more importantly, my computer):
I have to climb on the railing.
By most standards, this would be an inconvenience, but for some reason I find it pretty entertaining. It’s a throwback to the games we used to play as kids, where we’d chase each other around on the playground pretending that the ground was poison and touching it would kill us. Now it’s a challenge just moving through the house. I guess when it comes down to it, I’m still just 8 years old inside.

Today is my birthday. I am now 22 years old (yes I know! I’m, like, a kid!*). In fact I was born at 10 pm, so I’ve been 22 for exactly 22 minutes! I’ve worked on TNM more than a quarter of my life, which is completely ridiculous no matter how you look at it. It’s been a great day, but unfortunately I have got no presents.
Because one of the cats took ‘em.
Clearly there’s nothing to do about that. I hope she enjoys the Edge subscription I was supposed to get.
* Alternatively if you are 21 or younger: lol old fart!

I actually finished another, much simpler video at the same time as I made Last of the Wilds, but I figured it was enough to post one video in a day. This is really just an amusing bit of recording of Stella expressing her extreme displeasure over a malfunctioning cat’s toy we bought last week. I find it pretty funny though, so here you go. It’s only 8 mb.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but sometimes it’s just really difficult to get any work done around here…

This is the most fantastic insult I have ever received:
You pig-fucking black-hearted motherless goat-wanking Carpal Tunnel-inducing Anti-Christ-following horn-eating Stalin-loving Mary Mother of Christ-killing ankle-rubbing neer-do-well hooligan-marrying sewer-swimming-rat-buggering Platypus-suing pant-protesting bad-shirt-wearing glib flabby-assed hobo-climbing ant-cleaning golem-angering donkey-brained New York street punk.
But wait… there’s more:
You hideous, worthless, rank, vile, base, lowly, arduously-stupid nothing-headed fart-knocking green-blooded whore-mongering scum-sucking bottom-feeding Russian-tonsil-surgeon-biting ass-sniffing jaundiced-foot-eating pink-purse-carrying Elephant-snorting royally UNroyal toilet-purchasing cow-riding ocean-licking bully of all that is holy.
I think he spent a lot of time coming up with that, so it deserves to be shared, no?

I have spent tonight randomly roaming the archives of Richard Cobbett, games journalist extraordinaire. I will clearly be adding his site to my links soon. Perhaps even when this post is finished.
For now, I will just address that I stumbled across this article of his on the problem of arachnophobia in relation to certain games (namely Dark Messiah). You may recall I very recently ranted on precisely this topic. Only, Cobbett (being a pro) does it much more hilariously and with less self-pity than I:

I’ve figured out what makes S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fun to play. It’s because the weapons are huge.
And I don’t mean they’re all omnipotent BFG’s, they’re modelled after real weapons, after all (uh, with a few notable exceptions). I mean they just take up a lot of space on the monitor, making them feel extremely beefy. Examine, if you will, this comparison:

Randall Munroe of XKCD is trying to sort of hi-jack a viral ad by (apparently) Ask.com. I think that’s such a hilarious concept, I am compelled to help out. My contribution will be a small and probably largely insignificant one, as my blog isn’t exactly A-list, but what the hell:
THE ALGORITHM CONSTANTLY FINDS JESUS
THE ALGORITHM KILLED JEEVES
THE ALGORITHM IS BANNED IN CHINA
THE ALGORITHM IS FROM JERSEY
Funny that it’s from Ask.com, actually. My first guess was that it was from Google. Can you imagine how much sense that would make? How easy would it be to advertise for Google? You just chuck some nonsense on a billboard, and the first place people will go to find out what the Hell it is… is Google! Easiest job ever.
Speaking of Viral ads, they (like most advertising) sometimes have the opposite effect on me (but for different reasons than normal ads). Good viral advertising is creating something hilarious and posting it to the ‘Net; it’s hard as hell to do and virtually uncontrollable, but if it works, I will gladly help distribute it. Especially if it’s something to do with cats. But if you post something cryptic on a billboard, hoping I will be curious and Google it, all you achieve is to make me spiteful. The latest example was a billboard on my way to work saying “Auris means gold”. I still don’t know what the Hell it was advertising, because I stubbornly refused to play along with their stupid scheme. Trick me, will you? Exploit my natural curiosity? I think not!
