Happy 100th birthday to one of my heroes Dick Van Dyke.

I had all the words to Mary Poppins memorised when I was 4 or 5.

So glad he’s still with us.

Today I bought 8 games that had been sitting on my wishlist on Steam.

I am also planning on reviewing at least 2 games I loved.

Consider supporting indies by doing something similar yourself this holiday season. You might be making that small indie company's year.

“This segment is as good as Ratchet Gameplay gets. It totally makes up for the Inspector Bot segment.”
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Ever wanted to see what an indie game made by three game designers and an entomologist, in Unreal, using nothing but asset packs and blueprints looks like?

Here's your chance. :D
