Why I haven't posted in several months...

...I unno. I',m drunk i guess!

you know how you have like, a really good idea for a thing, but then you're like, man i'd need a phd's time and funding to do this idea justice... i don't want to shoot off some half cocked guff when there's stuff like the lost garden around doing really well with explaining the things. just does a disservice to blogging, you know? I keep having all these thoughts and little theories and i keep meanaing to spout them before will write and all that all say it first (bloody... The Wedding... I've been talking about all that "mechanics as message" stuff for bloody ages amongst my friend but then i never get a chance to do anything about it because i'm too shit and slow at making games), but then get tangled up with how much effort it is for a literary lightweight like me to get it out in a coscient, well formed, simple way that i just sorta give

well, you know what I think, but I guess I'll repeat it that I think it looks quite slick!

I'm happy to hear things're good at work as well.

Enjoy the hangover,

Heya, I tried to find an email or somesuch, but I figured this would be the most direct way to contact you, provided you still recieve emails for blog comments.

Anywho, us over at Tastyspleen.net (q2 community) are going to be hosting an event running your Leper mod, and the Tastyspleen TastyCast (http://jehar.tastyspleen.net/playing.html) will be covering the event with audio essays and commentarys. Usually for these events, I try to get a logo put together for the mod, but I couldn't find one for Leper.

So, I made one.

It's quick and crappy, but I wanted to run it by you to make sure it had your OK and we weren't stepping on your toes, copyright-wise.

Hope to hear back from ya. :D

I'm honored to the power of flattered, both that you still want to play the mod*, and that you felt you needed my permission!

Absolutely! Go for it! Shoot your legs off manually, and fly to the stars with a grapple hook! Make fun of it! Take the piss out of my fledgling attempts at rapid prototyping!

The Logo, however quickly put together, actually completely exclipses my attempts from back in the day :D. Indeed, I don't recall any real logo, except maybe Captain Torso from the console image?

** I'm surprised it still works!
