So Technorati is going totally nuts and reporting links that aren’t there. For example, it tells me that this woman linked me twice today, which is a nice trick since she only posted once, and that post did not link anywhere. (This is clearly a fluke. I’m sure there are no links here from that site.)
But what’s REALLY freaking me out as I sit here in a 4a.m. insomnia-induced daze, is that the photograph on the left side of her site looks almost exactly like my son. It’s very odd to visit the blog of a total stranger and see a picture of my own son, looking the way he did about 18 months ago, wearing clothes he’s never owned.
I really should get some sleep.
LATER: I did. It still freaks me out.
Who Broke the In-Game Economy?
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
Steam Summer Blues
This mess of dross, confusion, and terrible UI design is the storefront the big publishers couldn't beat? Amazing.
The Loot Lottery
What makes the gameplay of Borderlands so addictive for some, and what does that have to do with slot machines?
Dead Island
A stream-of-gameplay review of Dead Island. This game is a cavalcade of bugs and bad design choices.
Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
Better get Akismet. It looks like the comment spammer that has been hitting me has just found you. Actually, as few as are getting through, I suspect you already have it operating, but just in case, I thought I’d recommend it.
hmm, well, sorry, no need to be paranoid, I’ve never been here before and doubt I will ever come again. I only came here because you came to my site. Trust me, I’ll never link you.
