How would cats react if faced with the problems and work-related challenges of being a journalist? This blog tries to answer that question.

Mobile Frame Zero
Tycho from Penny Arcade wrote:I am obsessed with miniatures games, tactical wargames, anything which purports to model complex systems really, and core to that obsession is the desire to BURST WITH SPORES and infect you with some variant of the same. The haunted bit is that these games are always some combination of brutally expensive and underplayed locally. A good group at a store is a true blessing, but if you have a problem where you get tantalized by the new shit you’re perpetually screwed. This is why I threw my support so firmly behind the Kickstarter for Mobile Frame Zero.

At root, it represented a chance to push my predilections hard without the very real possibility of bankrupting you or leaving you socially isolated. The game itself is licensed under Creative Commons, which means (among other things) that you already own it, though you’re welcome to purchase a hardcopy or drop their suggested price for the pdf. But since you build your own units out of Lego bricks, or out of any other damned thing, you’re almost certainly ready to go for this weekend. It’s clean, fast, fun, and isn’t afraid of playercounts over two.

I was so taken with the project and its bizarre high priest that I wanted to back it for real; I was lucky enough to get in at a level where the game’s official frame designer would build me a Company. I don’t like telling creative people what to do, so I just said I really liked Cyclones and left it at that. Here is the result:

I have what I would call “annoying, borderline asinine” designations for all these things. Just as an example, the command frame - the one on the far left - is an MPB Leyline. See what I mean? It only gets worse (that is to say, better) from there.

Tycho from Penny Arcade wrote:Something I’d wanted to try forever was Antichamber, and it was just sitting there, and the Antichamber Man was also there, but he was not sitting, he was telling me that I should play it, which I did. But I also spent most of the time talking to him, and trying to figure out why he would make a mind-trap of this description, and at its core he seemed to feel like Puzzle Games lie to you; that they’re incoherent on some level, and that he thought he could make one that was more true. It comes out on the thirty-first of this month, apparently; Ben’s got more for you over at The Report.

I begged Antichamber Man him to show me the spatial tricks he used to make a 3D engine represent these maddening, non-Euclidian logiscapes, and he did so, revealing that the world I was inhabiting was actually an amalgamation of worlds, revealed at his pleasure through a kind of conscious lens. At least, that’s what I think he said. Eventually he started “saying” different kinds of colored light instead of words.

I heard about this on a documentary earlier and looked it up on Youtube.. live scorpions on a stick in China. I'm not normally a squimish person, but I screamed when I saw him bite down on the tail.

This one is even worse! It's still moving!

I'm getting the hell off Youtube now. Or looking up kittens.
