Games that create music hold a special place in my heart, as do the game designers that make them.
Try putting a bunch of circles within a circle, like ripples on a puddle. It makes a neat backbone.

I personally hate video game achievements. I recall playing Fable 2 and having those stupid xbox achievements pop up every now and then. There just seemed to be no point to them, and that’s probably where my distaste for them arose.

However.

I stumbled upon this game today and couldn’t help but play it to the very end (which is rare for me and flash games). It’s all about the achievements, and personally, I found it incredibly rewarding. Had a good laugh too.

Finally, warmth and sunshine have returned to London. I’m hoping we’ve entered into Canadian warm season (sometimes refered to as ’summer’), but the chances are that this is all a fluke and we’ll end up getting a blizzard on Tuesday. I swear we only have two seasons: Nuclear Winter and Sweatyourballsoff Summer, with a brief transitional period between the two usually involving high winds, slush and a lack of motivation to continue living.

ON THAT NOTE, I’m gonna grab a beer and work on my tan I thinks.
