    This is the same guy who did I Wish I were the Moon and I Fell in Love with the Majesty of Colours.

    I enjoyed this new one and am sure others will too. Also follow the link after the game to see some interesting monetisation strategies this guys has.

  • Omegle

    Omegle is a site where you are put into a 1 to 1 instant messaging conversation with a stranger, anonymously.

    My first conversation:

    Connecting to server…
    You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
    You: morning
    Stranger: r u a female
    You: no
    You: r u?
    Your conversational partner has disconnected.

    Though not all conversations are that bad :)

  • Evil Twitter Darknet

    Posted on April 28th, 2009 beetlefeet 4 comments

    So I had an idea while waxing with Simon and others at the letsmakegames gamejam event tonight and came up with an awesome idea.

    An evil Twitter ‘darknet’.

    Everyone makes a new clone user called evilusername, I would be evilbeetlefeet. Then you only follow other evil people. Ideally anyone who crosses the evil / non-evil boundary by following the wrong type of person would be shunned by both sides. Tsk tsk.

    This network of evil people would then be separated from ‘regular’ users and have their own evil status updates and remarks about their evil doings and goings on. When you tweet your normal tweets you should also tweet an evil version.

    For example:
    beetlefeet: “Just had an awesome cherry pie!”
    evilbeetlefeet: “Just had an awesome cherry pie, it reminded me of spilling innocents’ blood!”

    You know it makes sense!

  • WP theme no longer super generic.

    I found and modified a nice theme called Gear by the entity that inhabits www.mymobiles.com.
    My contributions were hacking my own icon in, choosing from the decent selection of colours and patterns and replacing the mini icons at top right for some that are larger (and fiddling with their position with margins and padding and stuff.)
    I’m a CSS master ><;

    Anyway it will do the job, better than what I had before and a good reward to effort ratio :)
