Here's a very early peek at my new game, Bumblicity. The game is finally at the point where I can't stop playing it, though it still has a ways to go. Sorry the video quality is crappy, that's what happens when you go standard composite out to a crappy USB video capture card to YouTube. Link to this » This is the story of the PIERRELY code. One day when I was still in high school my friend Pierre wanted me to check out his cool new Sega Genesis video game, "Ecco the Dolphin". There was a lot of hype surrounding this game so I went over to his house after school to check it out. There, he, his sister Caroline and I lived a legendary experience. This is roughly what happened. Read more » Check out the new Planet Idiot Games page! I redid the whole thing in the new open source Graffiti in a couple hours. Now I've got a section for Xbox Live stuff. Aardvark is the first one of course, but my 2nd game is well under way!

I tried about 30 times to make a bootable SD or USB stick, with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix "usb-creator" program and with Eeebuntu's "unetbootin" program and had no luck at all. I would get to a crappy looking boot up menu that would just loop "booting in 10 seconds" over and over, or else some other error trying to boot. Read more » Check it out, another thumbs up review!

But what really sets Aardvark apart is the level editor, letting you build your own block breaking levels. There's no level sharing online, but it's still fun to play your own creations."

I have already gotten my first review and it is pretty glowing. Check out the game info page here. Link to this » Who is the self-important jerk who decided that the often misunderstood middle mouse button was going to henceforth mean "close whatever is under it"? First I thought this was a bug in Chrome. On my laptop, pressing the left+right mouse buttons together simulates a middle mouse button click. My finger slipped when clicking a tab and POOF it was gone forever. I did a little digging and Firefox seems to have started this incredibly annoying trend. I wouldn't be so pissed off about it except there doesn't appear to be anyway to turn it off! This is not standard behavior, and it makes zero sense to say that the risk of closing a tab by accident is somehow worth the convenience of not having to take 1 millisecond it takes to click the little [x] on the tab.
