About Me

Since I've started writing on here a bit more again, I should probably add something to this. As the banner image of my blog says, I'm a graduate student. Yes, I'm that class of people which Marge Simpson says has made a poor life choice. The fact that the wife of Homer Simpsons is saying that should tell you something about my quality of life. :P

I like writing about games, which is what you'll see me do on here when a subject sufficiently motivates me. Sadly, writing about games comes at the cost of playing games, so my blog posts are fewer and farther between than I'd like. I usually write with regard to monthly musings, retro games, games I'm currently playing, or events in the games industry that perk my interest.

When I'm not DOING SCIENCE! or playing games, I can be found training in karate (my life is a fighting game!), writing about stuff other than games, or tearing up the dance floor.

Game Dev Story: Be a Game Dev On Your iPhone MuddBstrd | 8:02 PM on 10.23.2010 2 comments

I have a very mixed experience with games on the iPhone.  I think I’ve downloaded about ten of the silly things and, until recently, only two held my attention for any length of Civilization Revolution and GodVille.  While the latter is more of a spectator affair you check along with your news feeds, Civilization Revolution is the only iPhone game I can confidently say I’ve lost hours to.  That’s because is fucking Civilization and, even then, it was mostly on long rides in a car or train where I didn’t have my DS.  With the arrival of the quirky Game Dev Story, however, I can now in all honestly say I am truly addicted to an iPhone game. If you’re currently looking at your screen with a WTF expression, wait until you download it and find yourself playing it at 2 in the morning.     I have a very mixed experience with games on the iPhone.  I think I’ve downloaded about ten of the silly things and, until recently, only two held my attention for any length of Civilization Revolution and GodVille.  While the latter is more of a spectator affair you check along with your news feeds, Civilization Revolution is the only iPhone game I can confidently say I’ve lost hours to.  That’s because is fucking Civilization and, even then, it was mostly on long rides in a car or train where I didn’t have my DS.  With the arrival of the quirky Game Dev Story, however, I can now in all honestly say I am truly addicted to an iPhone game.
