Games, writing, general geekery. ADRIFT v5 IntroComp Reviews (2012). It's sad to see that of the six games in this competition, only ONE has a fully proofread. Introduction sequence. Not a good sign. The only errorless one's three-sentence introduction. Was basically too short to have had any sort of mistake or typo, but errors did show up later. In that game, anyway. It seems to me like maybe it's time to bring back some of the writing challenges and exercises. Did the author provide me with a compelling.

Games, writing, general geekery. On the 2012 RNC Keynote. Applause for Chris Christie is less than deafening at the RNC, which is too bad because I might've enjoyed his keynote speech more if I hadn't been able to hear it. It's disgusting. This entire convention so far has consisted of watching elephants try to fart like mice. These people are applauding getting rid of teachers? Shame on them. And shame on Republicans for running people out of their jobs. What is this steam blowing behind Chris Christie?

An occasional player's review. Articles and commentaries from an occasional gamer. Going on the Offensive. Got wind of this from Ice Cream Jonsey’s post in Jolt Country. It’s better to show it with a screenshot:. Click to See BS. See the highlighted portion? Wow What a way to blow off the competition. All of Malinche Entertainment’s games are made with Inform.
