Profile: I like games. Of all types - video and board. I even designed a board game to production called Supernova, which you can find more about over here. My taste in video games run mostly to RPGs, but regardless of what I'm playing, I typically play solo, even in an MMOG. I have a cat named Mabel who I believe is a person trapped in a cat body, so I make sure to take her very seriously, especially her constant need for affection.

I’ve mentioned recently that I was going to build a small form factor PC, and yesterday was the day. All the components had arrived, the stars were in alignment, and unfortunately it was 31 degrees in my kitchen. The whole build took me about 2 – 2.5 hours. You pretty much only need time, patience, and a screwdriver with a Philips bit.
I believe that a lot of good games could be great ones if some of these ideas were acted on – most are either free to implement or require nothing more than an investment of time and energy.
If you’d heard about this Bill S.978 and watched a few horrified pleas by Youtubers, you’d have thought all internet videos were about to become illegal.
This is not true.
If you’ve played video games for a while, you’ve probably shot a whole lot of people. In-game, I mean. And each of those weapons you’ve used brings a little something different to the table – be it rate of fire, huge explosions, easy gibbing (hey, that’s a real word), or just shooting out massive bursts [...]
