Jay is Games has featured games I've made exactly once. I think he has a personal chip on his shoulder against my stuff.

Even when he featured "Portal Defenders" he prefaced the actual review with so much "Warning: this game is ultra violent" explanation as to keep 80% of his audience from even trying the game out.

Luckily, any game they review gets into their end-of-the-year "best of" voting. So go vote for Portal Defenders and teach JIG what real quality is all about!

Scroll down to Portal Defenders and click the "Vote" button next to it. Vote once a day!

I'm now a bandwagon twit. I've been suffering from the flu and opened a twitter account. Coincidence?

One more plug for my t-shirt design. Previously, when I asked for your vote it hadn't been approved by threadless yet, now you should be able to actually vote on it.

Check it out and vote if you like it!

I woke up this morning and this idea for a t-shirt struck me.

I'm giving threadless a try. If you can, vote on my shirt so they'll print it :)

Thanks!

I was so impressed with this demo video I had to share it. That's one game I'll definitely be looking to buy.

After a long stint of only coding stuff, I got back to my artistic roots and helped out Joey Betz, a guru of as3 to make a sequel to his famous game Demolition City.

The graphics are a lot better in this version if I do say so myself.

PLAY DEMOLITION CITY 2!

I've always loved the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks.

I watched it again the other day and remembered there are some scenes with the little kid playing an old CGA text adventure.

I searched around to find out what game it was and discovered that it doesn't exist, they just made it up for the movie.

So, I took a few hours and made the game myself.

Check it out here and digg it if you can:

I'll upload it to NG later this week.

If you remember, it was playing this game that ultimately reminded the grown up Tom Hanks of the joys of childhood and began his journey back to being a kid. The power of VIDEO GAMES to incite nostalgia.

Roger Barr was on an old episode of Totally Obsessed. Someone finally digitized the old VHS:

I got my copy of deadspread's 1976 comic today. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the printing and also the quality of the storyline and art. He has a very unique art style and his writing is really engaging too...I'm anxious to see what happens in the next issue.

If you haven't yet, I suggest picking up your own copy. You won't regret it!

In other news, I drove down to the San Diego area this weekend and participated in the Ride for MS

It was a 2 day event, and I cycled 50 miles each day. I had good company with jmtb02 and Dan from Armor Games who are both into biking. We had a really fun time riding down the Pacific Coast Highway which was stunningly beautiful. I should have some pictures up sometime in the coming week.

Next up on my to-do list is to somehow make it out to PA to visit the NG office and chill with the crowd that is moving out there in the next year.

Worth it
