NOTE: This isn’t actually on a T-shirt yet…

Okay, I wouldn’t normally post someone else’s content on my website, but check this out:

Interactive storytelling of any kind is enough to get me all geek-jittery, (gji#R3) but a form that is also real-time sensitive AND requires nothing more than animated gif/gif technology? *Swoons*

I see some real applications for this, especially if combined with something like the JavaScript rollover as seen in Sam and Max: The Big Sleep

The coolest part is that this is a guest comic. I guess you can expect something really cool to happen when the writer of an experimental interactive comic guest strips an experimental clip-art comic. (Although, both Dinosaur Comics and MS Paint adventures have been running long enough that I don’t know if they still count as ‘experimental’. But they were for like the first ten strips anyhow…)

(Younger readers -or their parents- may want to skip all of the comics in this post for reasons totally related to swears, occasional gratuitous violence and immature sexual dialogue)

Balloon to the Moon is my entry for TIGSource’s latest competition. We had to make a game based around the concept of a cockpit. And here’s mine…

Balloon to the Moon is a co-operative game for two players that combines elements from flight sims, arcade platformers, and old-school shooters. Balloons don’t have steering wheels, so you need to tip the basket to spin around. Stomp on the floor buttons to zap the hostile aerosquid. Collect the antigrav tokens to fly higher. Fly all the way to the moon without letting those pesky squid sneak up behind you and you win! Otherwise it’s a one way trip to squid gullet land…

Code File Released,

The Negative Motivation Project As a kid I used to play tetris, trying to make interesting patterns, apparently I wasn’t the only one…

Golden Words A fun, if incredibly impractical (not to mention expensive) method of communication…

opsound Where creative commons music is to your ears… No wait…

If I ever design a house, the kitchen and master bedroom will be on separate floors.
Our kitchen is right beside my parents’ bedroom, and believe you me, fixing yourself an early breakfast without waking anyone up around here is like Metal Gear meets Splinter Cell, times Thief: The Dark Project. To the power of Castle Wolfenstein. Everything in the kitchen makes noise, and oftentimes my choice of food depends on how quiet it is to prepare. The fact that my Mom sleeps with the door open doesn’t help things at all. (Sometimes I’ll push the door closed, but that too makes noise.)
I cannot describe the experience. Every time a cupboard door creaks, a plate clinks, or I open the frige I grit my teeth and hold my breath, worried that I woke up Mom and the kids (Did I mention they sleep there too?)

Sorry about that guys, I sounded like one of those annoying LiveJournal people who broadcast their entire life story on their blog… Wait, I’m missing something:

Listening to: Nothing, I don’t listen to music and type at the same time
Mood: Annoyed that I just wrote a blog post like a LiveJournal user…
