I have been playing a couple of rounds of Pilotwings the last two days. It is a game I remember fondly from the times I was a kid. I never owned a SNES it but I played it a lot on department store test stations. This is the first time I’m attempting at making some [...]
I don’t have too much time today so here is a quick linkdrop. This weekend, there was a great LAN Party in Weekend called Dreamhack. They had a StarCraft 2 tournament sponsored by SteelSeries and having a handsome total of $25,000 in prize money. It was moderated by everybody’s favorite StarCraft 2 commenter, Day9.
I watched some [...]
Sometimes I get up in the morning and I turn on our coffee machine, still half-asleep. I sometimes find out that the machine starts flashing all sorts of red lamps indicating that I need to clean it and put it some water etc. And sometimes even that’s not enough. I push the button and the [...]
I’m just playing Another World at the moment. It turns out I lost my old password. I found another one but it’s quite early in the game. It is at a quite memorable, yet infuriating puzzle. Actually, it would have been one of my favorite puzzles in the game if I didn’t get stuck at [...]
I recently got Gran Turismo 5. I’m not quite finished with the 5 backlog games. I decided to order it anyway and not play it until I’m done playing off the backlog debt for it.
However, I did unpack it. I ordered the UK Collector’s Edition (not the prohibitive Signature Edition). It contains a small but thick [...]

I recently finished my playtrough of Plants vs. Zombies. When the game came out it was universally praised for being highly addictive. When I first tried it some time ago I was expecting a simple but perpetually engaging core gameplay with ton of polish and additional content around it – the familiar anatomy of addictive games. But [...]
Here is just a quick link share because I’m pretty spent today. I recently saw this and got all misty-eyed.
It’s an animated movie that summarizes the history of Poland in just 8 minutes. It was made by a successfull polish animator Tomasz Bagiński who was also responsible for the Oscar-nominated short movie The Cathedral and who [...]
You might remember my exorbitant games backlog and the rules I set myself to reduce it. Time to check if it worked. In some ways it did, it some ways it didn’t.
Since I started this project, I was able to complete only a very underwhelming number of games. I finished 5. They are:

Tales of Monkey Island: Launch [...]
After 3 weeks or so I finally did a normal weekend session of working on the game. To be honest I was dreading going back to it again. I left at a weird moment where I didn’t have a clue what I had to do next. So I started of with something straight-forward: a bug [...]

I don’t trust demos. Even though they do sound like a good idea on paper. You let your potential customers try a limited version of the game and hopefully get them hooked encouraging them to try the real deal. My problem with that is the “limited” part. The various ways you limit the game to [...]

eine mehr als einhundert jährige expansion geht vorläufig zu ende.
was duchamp im fröhlichen spott bereits andeutete, brachte hirst im smarten zynismus zur vollen entfaltung.
die kunst der moderne war in ihrer kontinuierlichen überwindung jeglicher antagonismen schon immer die tocher der freiheit, der freiheit der märkte.
wogegen sich generationen von künstlern mit immer neuen volten verzweifelt gewehrt haben, ist in unseren tagen endlich eingetreten:
kunstsystem und kunstmarkt bilden ein amalgan als vollendetes ganzes,
und die kunst als solche zeigt sich nun stolz und ohne scheu als avantgardemedium des spektakels.
so wird jetzt deutlich sichtbar was schon immer wirklichkeit gewesen ist und es verschwindet, was als illusion, falle und gefängnis unserer kraft und energie angelegt war.

was für wunderbare zeiten der wahrheit.
