As odd behaviours deeply hardwired into us, they're hilarious. Genitals also look ridiculous. How good these things are usually overwhelms any urge I have to laugh though.

Yeah, very bleak but also lovely. I like that it's basically science fiction set in the past. It seemed like they really underplayed . Stupid mad old bastard.

That's odd. I can't find any other ratings for it anywhere else, other than a PEGI one which was already 16.

Quoted for "yeah".

After all of the legal shit they went through with Brütal Legend and Trenched, I've been so pleased to see this

I keep thinking that Marek is PiratePoo on Twitter. My brain nearly has the separation down now

Episodic Psychonauts: CONFIRMED.

If they do go for something with Psychonauts, I hope they're careful. Those amounts of money would be surprisingly easy to piss away in game dev for console and PC nowadays.

I used to be in a predominantly English and American Unreal mapping community with a German guy who wanted the same thing. He became very involved with the forum, but asked everyone to persistently correct his grammar, to the extent of putting a request in his sig to the effect of "Please correct me, I won't be offended. It's the only way I'll get better and that's what I want". People feel weird doing that, as if they're going to offend. Especially English people. After a few years though, he'd worked out so many grammatical bugs and felt his way around so many colloquialisms that his English writing seemed pretty much perfect. As Thunderpeel said, you're very capable already. I suppose your problem might be a bit more complex, in that you already put things eloquently, but they don't necessarily mean what you want them to.

Sometimes. I went on a 20 mile bike ride last week and still had a lot of burning rage. I'm bummed out this week, because not being ill or having a major event to do now gives me some time to process stuff. I'll get over her, but I've realised what she did reaches right into how I trust other people. That might take a while to fix

That's an incredible victory. Well done!

Sorry you couldn't make it, Yufster It was really nice to see you all. Some stuff went wrong; for the whole morning I was running around constantly fixing things, thinking it was generally disintegrating and people were having a terrible time. Then around 2 o'clock, Jo (The lady with ginger hair and glasses who was also running round fixing stuff) made me sit down for ten minutes to eat, and I saw on Twitter people were saying dead nice stuff about it. Right near the end of the day, walking from the Tetris performance, down the stairs past zombies playing dead, through people playing Johann Sebastian Joust in the dome, then into the hall with lemon jousting, ninja, Ordnungswissenschaft and Proteus going on was surreal and a little bit heavenly. It'll happen again, but better. Sorry the main hall was so cold, and sorry about the ear piercingly loud sessions being first thing.

That is really interesting. Attachment amplifies emotional response, but attachment works with ideas as well as people. In the case of narcissists, that suggests a bunch of interesting stuff.

Is out on Steam and Desura today. It was made by a guy called Rich Edwards, who submitted it to the Indie Games Arcade Last year but didn't expect to get in. Not only did he get in, but he won RPS game of show. When I was going through the submissions it was one the really stuck out, and looking at the final line up, I thought it would win It's ace. It's all about the grenades, and when you pick it up you can feel he's tuned them all to fuck.

But I still have work to do…

Some of us will be in The Crown, Battersea after Bit of Alright finishes at around 16:30 - 17:00. I expect it'll be very crowded and we'll move on around 7 though.

Sorry if this creates a sidescroller for you:

Does Canada have labour laws as weak as the US? If so, probably anything he likes, pretty much.

I wish the :tdown were as large as those breasts.

Nine thousand square metres?!? Call Festo!

Miffy, sorry to hear that. I hope that you find something else quick enough, and that he's not bad enough, that walking out of that cinema for the last time feels bittersweet rather than good. Before this boss, you seemed happy there whenever you talked about it and the people you worked with. Sorry you lost that, please don't let him corrupt that utterly. Yeah, I think it shocked her that I realised that in seconds. It's not so much that she's adamant, it's that when those feelings spring up in your heart there's not much you can do with them along the lines of negotiation or suppression. They control you massively, and can very suddenly realign your motives. I guess those few years reading academic textbooks on motivation and emotion to pick romantic love apart and put it back together are one of the most useful things I ever did. I still fall in love, and it's not like I can control it, but I understand it pretty well and can sometimes sidestep it if it seems like I'm going to need to. Thanks, Rodi and Speedy. I'm sad, but not so sad that whilst walking home I didn't feel a glimmer of excitement at the idea of chatting up other girls What's weird is I've been far more hung up on girls who were much worse people, even in recent memory. This girl was an adorable person and things had been going very well; much better than any other relationship I'd been in. She'd also shown me some good reasons to trust her, so I have no doubts over this just being buried feelings and shit circumstance. It feels strange to feel strong just after this. Then again, I have a very busy week ahead, starting with a 9a.m. print deadline tomorrow.

Up until this week, things were going well between girl and me. I really liked this one, because she made very grown up decisions, but was like a hyperactive six year old and irrepressibly happy at all other times. It turns out she fell in love with someone last summer though, he went away for a long time but came back last week, and she realised she still feels the same way about him. People hate what a cynical view I have of romantic love, but even not believing in soul mates, my horrible materialist view means I still don't think those kind of things are really about choice. I'm pissed off but I can't blame her, and I'm glad it happened early enough that I wasn't in love. I think she's used to people who beg and wheedle and want an explanation or details or something, and she looked pretty stunned tonight when I grabbed my coat, gave her the key to her flat back, and walked out. It's an odd and undesirable way to finish a weekend in which I ran a global game jam venue, but I feel fairly proud that I can be so emotionally and physically drained, have that dumped on me, then still hold it together and make rational decisions.
