Ha!

I wanted to post this a week or two ago, but I was so busy in real life... every time I tried to finish it up, something would happen. It has been 95% done for a long time, but, this morning, I finally had time to get it done.

FELINES: Exceedingly spry for a 17-year-old cat, AJ lurks in the basement, hunting for pâté. AJ is not to be confused with Mr. Missy (Episode #P), who sadly shuffled off this mortal coil a few months ago.

R.I.P. Mr. Missy, my feline comrade. Godspeed.

Dem cloudy skies look like London skies!

i think it was my first cd game 100 years ago. You should definitely give it a shot.

You know I am genuinely obsessed with the stupid Virtual Cushion. So sad.

...and that stretch of polluted NJ skyline (from the video) is the reason everyone thinks my beautiful state is a radioactive dump. Because.... that stretch *really is* a post-industrial wasteland.

Thankfully, the entire state is not like that...but 99.99% of folks get their first impression of NJ based on the worst bits.

Ha!

Yeah, it was funny because I simply asked both kids to draw ants and I didn't realize my son was all about the smiley faces.

My daughter, by the way, keeps asking if ants can really be monsters. This silly video may have created a life-long phobia of ants.

Damn.

If you are really, really patient and forgiving, you can actually appreciate many aspects of the game...but the "platforming" sequences are horrid (repetitive, poor control).

On one of the pages I linked to, I praised the seemingly minor role of the "Radio DJ" as important "glue" that improved the overall experience. I love little things like that.—it shows the effort that went into this project.

Your mileage may vary...I'm a sucker for the "radio DJ" of yesteryear.

Thank you, comrade.

MOAR to come! I am working on something now...it was a project I started like.... 5+ years ago? It would have been the first Le Doodle, but a series of unfortunate events ruined the video files. Water is not a friend of external harddrives. This much I know.

I wholeheartedly endorse the Virtual Cushion.

Please buy one for me.

I want one, too.
