Alice and Kev
by Scotto Starkey on Jul.30, 2009, under Fun stuff, Games
I found this amusing blog based on a couple of homeless Sims 3 characters, Alice and Kev, which the narrator has allowed to run amok turning on their free will. He created them with some serious issues dealing with other Sims. From there, the narrator weaves a tale of their life stories. Tragic and funny: http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/ .
Protospiel post-mortem

I got back from Protospiel last night (http://protospiel.org, the annual game designer convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan) and I had a great time. I learned a few things, met some great people, and tested the heck out of my game “Golden Spike”.

I was thinking about the new getting the new re-do of The Secret of Monkey Island. It looks pretty good, and I remember liking the game.
But then I took a look at the system requirements…
They expect a machine 3GHtz or faster! I’d need a whole new computer! Grrr…
OK, this is really geeky…

If you don’t know what Portal is, then maybe it’s not as impressive.
