Being outrageously optimistic, I grabbed copies of both 'Moria: Through the Doors of Durin' and 'Tales From the Lone-lands' (for the One Ring RPG), and fully expect to play them.

I feel like every scene I draw for Gilt is a real struggle and I am never satisfied, but then I put the character sprites over my WIPs and seeing them hanging out in that world makes me happy.

Certainly not a programmer myself, but I did find those 'Pixel Art Tips for Programmers' incredibly helpful; especially as I still hope to make that Game Boy game come to life.

I find it hilarious that some of Greece's biggest banks --the same ones we've gifted billions to-- cannot handle the strain of Black Friday. Half their sites are down, and payments are in most cases impossible :P

I’ve often walked past the derelict military hospital complex on Deinokratous, and tried to take photographs through the gap in the massive wooden door, but the other day I found the main gate open, and the guards placidly undisturbed by my “I like old buildings” and my wandering around.
A thread.

Random 90s story:

A friend's place was hit by lightening back when we were students. Nothing really happened, but, since then, every time the phone rang his Pentium II PC wailed in a very silly, very siren-like manner.

He also lost a Championship Manager save.

End of story.

Beyond shocking and outrageous, those are signs of a system that has long outlived its usefulness and humanity.

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

And I quote: "Traptics' Xenopurge cuts to the heart of Aliens. It's tense, claustrophobic and everyone is probably going to die. It's great!"

PC Gamer really gets Xenopurge! Read the review here: www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...
Xenopurge turns Aliens into a stressful desk job and somehow manages to capture the movie perfectly
Grab a cup of coffee and let's go alien hunting.

Dungeon Loom is simple and clever, and might end up being incredibly handy for anyone looking to make a Game Boy (or C64) text adventure.
