gaming the system
This entry is pretty much a gamer-related link dump because in seven hours I am off to Seattle to see awesome friends and go to PAX (“a game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers”). I have packed my Nintendo DS and my World of Warcraft priest shirt, and I am ready to geek out to a large degree.
Anyway, link dump while I avoid doing any work today:
- This makes me extremely happy: Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus are coming to Steam! These are classic clever puzzle games, and I played them for hours back in the day on Playstation. (“Follow me!” “Okay.”) Console games have never been my forte, though — I have old, slow thumbs — so picking them up for cheap on the PC will be a treat.
- Snack on this Companion Cube cake. Or game-related cookies. Or, hey, why not get your 4 year old a Grand Theft Auto cake for his birthday! Wait.. what? (By the way, one day someone I know is getting this cake.)
- Team Fortress 2 meets D&D alignments
Okay, that’s probably it for now. Time to wander around the office some more and stare at the clock.
