Really enjoyed Predator: Badlands.

I’m a huge fan of the original movie, and this was the polar opposite, but as a popcorn action blockbuster it was great fun.

Loving @adhocstudio.com ‘s Dispatch a lot, 5th episode down, kind of glad it’s episodic otherwise I’d be binging the whole thing in a night! Now straight onto the 6th.

In order to get to the morphs we have in Keeper now I first experimented with different approaches. Here is one of the early tests in which "surflets" are used to transform from one to another mesh. I still love the "wiggly paths" during the transition.

With my anticipation of Dispatch and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 coming out this week I’d completely forgotten about Keeper being released.

Managed to play some tonight and loving it so far, @doublefine.com showing they’re the best at what they do!

Very happy with my time in the Barns Green Half Marathon today, especially as my training has been quite erratic recently.

Managed to score PBs for all major distances from 5K to Half! 🙂

WIP a bit on the "threads" window so you can see which thread/wave of the group you are watching, and whether the other threads are active/inactive. Also allows fast switching between threads in the group. #quackdebugger

I've decided after 5 episodes that I am pro Alien: Earth, and it's largely because of these two.

For a limited time I am making this available to all because I am excited to share this in the hopes that something comes of it—
