Game links roundup
I keep finding links to things that interest me but aren’t worthy of a post for themselves. Normally I would post them as links but there are so many of the things at the moment that I thought I would do a single post with them all in so here we go…
Zelda game time line Art of gaming e-zine – includes a bunch ...Miniclip wins Webby Award – I get to go to New York
A couple of weeks ago I was taken to New York for the 10th annual Webby Awards. Miniclip, the company I work for, had won the peoples voice award for gaming and the boss was kind enough to invite me (and a couple of others) along to the ceremony (thanks a lot Rob).
We flew over on the Saturday, spent the Sunday lazing around ...

Think what he’s given to the world. Knight Rider. Baywatch. The reunification of East and West Germany. Untold laughter from forwarded e-mails of him in hotpants.
He’s given a lot. It’s time we gave something back.
The Hoff’s having a hard time. He’s split from his wife. He needs a lift.
Let’s help him out with something that would mean the world to him. Something that would repay all the goodness he’s given us over the years. A glittering prize that thus far ...
Movie Review – Confetti
It’s a bit late now but a couple of weekends ago my girlfriend and I went to see a new Brit flick, Confetti, at the cinema.
Like Spinal Tap and, more recently, The Office – Confetti (FWIW Tim, Martin Freeman, from the Office is one of the leads) is a mocumentary (Mock Documentary).
The film follows three couples as they attempt to win a magazine competition for the most unusual wedding. The movie starts as the couple ...
Movie Roundup – May 06
Star Wars – Clone Wars – Series 2Not the movie but the cartoon series. Saw the first series a while ago and, whilst I thought it was ok, wasn’t overly impressed. The main problem was a lack of narrative – each 5 minute cartoon was self contained. This is a problem the second series doesn’t have and it’s much better because of it. The stories all combine together to make a single uninterrupted episode (shown as a ...
One thousand paintings
Apparently this is a massive thing and everyone has been talking about it, so it must all have happened over the last couple of weeks since I have heard nothing.
Anyway One thousand paintings is an attempt to sell, um, 1000 paintings. Each painting is unique (featuring the numbers 1 – 1000), and each painting has a different price, with the lower numbers being more expensive (there is maths involved in the pricing – read the site for more info).

Web Game : Monkey Kick Off
One of my friends from work has his own online games site. I don’t think I have mentioned it before, but since he has recently released a new game I thought it was the perfect time to say something.
The main game site is Totebo.com, but the reason for this post is Monkey Kick Off.
Notice that I have sent you a link to my personal best so that you ...

Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
