Well I'll never become a "YouTuber" but I've started uploading videos of some games I've played and hope to do a couple a week since I'm having fun with my weekly indie game blog posts anyway

"Microsoft buying Activision means all my favorite Sierra games are coming back!"

Cut to the merger literally killing any chance of a (admittedly questionable) new Laura Bow game

Still waiting for video games to look like this

Still waiting for a point-and-click adventure game to market itself as "Just as you remember from the 90s" and what they mean is digitized sprites and very weird prerendered backgrounds

Watching Rugrats with my kids and I appreciate that with multiple members of Devo doing the music, you get the occasional tiny Devo song during an episode

It's a Friday so I have done my weekly blog post about indie games I was excited about. It's groundhog day and the groundhog has risen and said there will be 6 more weeks of video games.

I enjoyed @jefklak's blog post yesterday about searching the internet and trying to find smaller, more personal sites

I never even watched Stargate SG-1 (should I?) but I love that there's a new video game today for a show that ended over a decade ago. I need this to be a trend so I can get a good Farscape game

EDIT: Sorry, here's the game

People know that adventure games continue to get made after Roberta Williams retired and are better than ever today right?

I think the process that @pizzapranks has come up with for distributing indie games is extremely cool

Do I know anyone that's playing Orion Burger in ScummVM? Trying to get it to run in the latest build but I'm assuming I'm missing a file or two. Is there somewhere I can look that's more specific about the files I need than this?

Watching this excellent Adventure Game Studio tutorial by Julia Minamata. This will be the year I finally get really into Adventure Game Studio

Internet is out at my home due to the snow storm so I spent the morning playing Dungeon Keeper through KeeperFX since it’s this month’s game in @dosgameclub. Even though the combat is a little clunky, I’m having a really good time with it. I remember liking the sequel more so that will be fun to revisit sometime in the future

I'm assuming that in Adventure Game Studio you can't have video playing in the portrait location like this, can you?
