So we just updated.

UPDATED GAME!
The Junk Snake game got a soundtrack. It’s very cool and creepy. The title screen music is VERY VERY catchy. I kinda had it looped a lot today. =P Also a few days ago we changed the game mechanic around, now the gems come in addition to a garbage drop.

NEW GAME!
LEGENDS OF LAUNDRY!!!!!!

This game is a LOT of fun. It’s a match-three concept except you match the colors by DRAWING on them. Help Elena do the towns wash. Go for the biggest combos you can. Keep an eye out for Sooty, Elena’s cat. He likes to sleep in the laundry and sometimes gets mixed up with the wash. BAD MAU! (P.s. I have a big crush on Elena, but don’t tell her.)

I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve been so fulfilled with my job. I’ve also never been in a situation where I seem to leave work at the end of the night with more work then when I started the day, despite being busy constantly. It’s the fine line between biting almost-to-big-a-mouthful, and making spit happen.

I know I’ve talked (a lot) in the past about not having the time, organization, whatever, to get any of my projects done on my endless list of projects. I still have some guilt, I really want to work on a few of them but there aren’t enough hours in the day. I’ve documented them all, for the future, if and when I do have the time to actually make them all. There’s a few that I pretty much NEED to make happen. But I just plain don’t have the time now.

So, all things considered, I hereby formally declare work as my only project. I reserve the right to modify this, with things like EGR, for example. I also really want to (need to, at this point…) start drawing again, I’ve been really inspired by the artists at work and my friends. I know my right brain needs some kind of scratching post, but I’ll figure out what. But I think it’s time to dust off the shoulders, focus on the horizon, take a deep breath, and jump.

I’m just going to hang on tight, crack my eyes and give it everything I have and we’ll see where this takes me. Wish me luck.

Seriously this just made my damn day.

I’ve marveled over this in the past:

This song is made entirely of sounds from Half Life 2.

Someone put together a song of similar concept, but made (almost) entirely of sounds from Team Fortress 2.

Teach them well at LET THEM LEAD THE WAY. Show them all the beeauuuttty they posesses in siiiiiide.

Give them a teaaaaaa bag. And call them fags on X-box liiiiiiive.

My favorite part is how well he does all the movements. This kid does nothing but play Halo.

I find great and childish amusement that I listen to a song called “Again & Again” again and again and again. And then do it again. Do it again.

We’ve got about three fan sites already, but this is the first mention on YouTube. They’ve taken a few liberties with some of the details but it’s amazing that the fans are digging into this stuff so quickly…

I *GUESS* the Prison setting lends itself to a free web-based MMO??

If I was a cat I’d probably be this cat…

Despite it’s new location, AX was good. Not enough people went, IMO, so hopefuly next year more people will. Living ten minutes away from the con via highway was really cool, it made for ‘oops I forgot my dress shoes for the Edison, we can go back and get them.’

Met some cool people, made some new friends, missed people who didn’t go. Masquerade was too short and not as good as I remember them to be. No real zomg hilarious or amazing skits or costumes.

Also, the Edison is AMAZING. Need to go again many times.
