Remember folks, if you’re getting Kinect today, don’t forget you need a warehouse to play it in, otherwise this might happen! Of course, this could be easily solved – just like Nintendo did with the Wii – by encasing the controllers in protective silicone. (video via @thebeamish)
Extract #2 James and Colin had known each other since primary school. Colin joined part way through the last year before “big school”, and due to an incident involving a hot glue gun and some toilet rolls on his first day he ended up in the medical room at the same time as James who was having another fake asthma attack caused by the onset of PE. They’d been friends, of varying closeness, ever since. They didn’t agree on everything, …
Extract #1 The sky was dark. The sky was always dark, to some degree, but this time it was darker than usual. The clouds had returned, thicker and lower than they had previously. They’d come in from the south east, gathering above and seemingly lowering as they combined. They came in so slowly that nobody noticed the change, and besides, the darkness against the dark sky was hardly perceptible at the best of times. Nobody could remember when the sky …
There’s a game for iOS called Game Dev Story. It’s a game company simulation game. In it, you make games. Here, I made a Game Company Simulation Game. Then the universe imploded. Posted via email from deKay’s posterous
Since my last release was so well received, I thought I’d update it to make it even more realistic! The new version features a more accurate progress bar, which is not only green, but also pauses randomly for a random amount of time – for no reason! Just like the real Xbox 360 progress bar! Amazing.

LOOK AT THE CARDS THAT COME WITH IT JUST LOOK AT THEM! LOOK! AT! THEM! LOOK!!
No time to write anything, but look at the GLORY that is the Collector’s Edition!
I got so fed up with playing Progress Bar Champion on my Xbox 360, that I decided to write a version to inflict on everyone else. Have “fun”! [swfobj src=”https://lofi-gaming.org.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Progress-Bar-Champion.swf” width=”400″ height=”140″ align=”center”]
There are few people on the internet I’d consider a friend. You know, like a “proper” friend, like you’d have offline. One was Owen Allaway, also known variously as username takeup would allow, as The Rev and That Rev Chap. He’d been a part of pretty much every online community I frequent for more than 10 years, and I’d played happy fun blue sky games like Animal Crossing and Viva Pinata online with him and his wife more times than …

In the Spectrum days, some of the most graphically impressive games came from Don Priestley. Oversized graphics were his trademark, and his games were a mixture of puzzle and arcade. The first I ever played was Flunky, where you play a hard working butler in the Royal household. Find freckles for Fergie! Help Prince Andrew play boats in his bath! Avoid being shot by beefeaters, for seemingly no reason! Amazing.
Clearly this is true. If it were not true, why would I punish myself so? Why, after all my posts and tweets and moans about Sega and Sonic and how I hate them now and never ever want to see another Sonic game, did this happen? In case it isn’t obvious, this is a screenshot of the end of the first level of the iPhone version Sonic 4. Which I downloaded in my lunchbreak. YES. I BOUGHT SONIC 4. Don’t …
You know, I’m all for varied fill patterns and stuff, but this one in InDesign is a bit crap. Ahaha.
Would you look at what I was pointed in the direction of today: Utterly amazing! Clearly the Best Game Evar. £1.79 from the iTunes App Store.
When I got my Megadrive in the early 1990s, it was for one single game – Sonic the Hedgehog. I’d played it often at the local game shop, and didn’t just want it, I needed it. Once I had my own Sega console to play it on, I was hooked on Sega games. In fact, for a good decade or so, I loved pretty much all of Sega’s major-title output – I suppose I was a Sega Fanboy (although Mario …
