Just bought and played Blueberry Garden. ($5 on steam). I’d seen a video of it like a year ago so it was a no brainer for $5.
I’ve still got the goosebumps and sad face from my first play. It will require more playing. This is a very strange game and quite unlike anything else. Well worth the $5. I feel strongly that stuff like this should go supported so we see more of it. Music is really nice. Only criticism would be the controls/physics are SLIGHTLY clunky. But it’s pretty great.
FYI: I have only played through once so still have NFI what is going on. Will play more at some point.

On steam it is described as “a relaxing, yet intense experience for people who like soaring through the sky.”  Sums it up kind of well.

Hmmmmmm.. http://www.beetlefeet.net/2009/06/08/hottest-100-of-all-time-hmmmmmm/ http://www.beetlefeet.net/2009/06/08/hottest-100-of-all-time-hmmmmmm/#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:32:55 +0000 beetlefeet http://www.beetlefeet.net/?p=89 So I’m trying to figure out the top 10 songs I’d vote for HOTTEST 100 OF ALL TIME. For TripleJ ofc.

It’s hard to be properly objective at all when it’s all about nostalgia and personal memories. And when blogging etc it also becomes about your public image and what you want others to think about you. (”I’m so interesting, check out my taste in X!”…. But in all seriousness, check out my awesome list. Yeah!)

Anyway so far it’s something along the lines of (in no order):

  • The Boxer (or A Hazy Shade of Winter) – Simon and Garfunkel
  • How Soon is Now? – The Smiths
  • Common People – Pulp
  • Boys Don’t Cry – The Cure
  • High and Dry (or Fake Plastic Trees) – Radiohead
  • Imagine – John Lennon
  • Voodoo People (strange outlier that won’t seem to fall off this list for some reason) – The Prodigy
  • Our House – Madness
  • Coffee and TV – Blur
  • Bittersweet Symphony – The Verve

It’s interesting how one is compelled to include exactly 1 song from a band. If I can’t choose between High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees is it likely one is in the top 10 and one is not? More likely they’re both nearby to each other and chances are I could have them both in my top 10, but that would seem wrong when real estate there is so scarce. It’s also interesting how bands I wish were in there and like more than bands that are just don’t have any mad stand out song that can stand it’s ground in so small a list. (Oasis, Flaming Lips…)
