duuuude so excited to play this!
had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now!
there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too!

one time i was walking in my neighborhood in summer, wearing shorts, and a pretty woman drove up alongside me, rolled her window down and yelled "LOOK at those cute little legs GO!"

i felt so flattered for the like, 3 full seconds it took me to realize she was talking about my dog

i love Delta Particles because it solves this with the big brain move of just making xen into more offices lol
the game critics they come.... one by one they say it will be me.... i will finally be the one to understand why xen is good in half life... and one by one they all fall. the masses were right. xen sucks.

immediately recognized this crusty lil guy from one of my fav CS 1.6 maps, cs_haus, which i covered in the "Your House (in CS)" video.

this portrait was done by Michael Whelan, who also did this cover for the original Dark Tower, which i also talked about briefly in the Stephen King Games video.

Globally famous and unsure if he was actually that good, Stephen King published under the name Richard Bachman to see if his success was a fluke. What did he find out and what can we learn?

New video is up about the dynamics of luck, skill and getting struck by lighting.

you should give it the hour it asks (and more than deserves)!

“are you using the word art for unusual quake and half-life levels that prominently feature drawings of anime girls”

this is a wonderfully-made tribute to some art that i had no idea existed, and is giving me the context to appreciate it. there is a feeling here I can’t quite express, except to say I’m enjoying learning via this tour through a museum

in the late 90's/early 2000's, my dad had an indigo 2 in the house for work. before he brought it home he talked up how it had the best graphics card in the world and i was so sad when i realized we couldn't play games on it lol.

I'm knee-deep in this game at the moment and it's great, pick it up! Intricate level design, cute art and lots of fun secrets. It's just getting better and better with every level.
I know that I sound like a broken record, but I could REALLY use some financial help, so if you have a few bucks laying around, PLEASE consider buying my game, it would mean the world to me!
