This monday was the NPOX festival. I was invited because the winner of the gamejam was going to be announced. Yeah the gamejam. The gamejam I participated in a few weeks back. My name was put foreward by teacher/counsellor JP van Seventer who now works for the Dutch Game Garden. And I thank him for that. The experience was something new. Valuable and a great way to learn more about different people. Not to mention that it was a break from gruesome brainstorms I endured in the past. So our job was to make a new version of the news,…

Wrath of the Lunch King

I wouldn't say I'm hooked, but I can say I really enjoy it. I too tried World of Warcraft a few months ago and am still playing it. As a person who enjoys playing games much as I do making them, I have a passion for good games and this was one of them. Thursday was the day the stores opened up and prepared to sell the regular games as well as the infamous collectors editions, which I am now the proud owner of. Thanks to friend Steve, I too was blessed with one of these huge cases filled with…

The Lazyman's way

A year ago, I bought a new tv, because it was time for me I moved on. I went from a quite small, but not too shabby, tv to a bigscreen FullHD tv. Quite a lot of money, but it was worth it, because it still is one of the larger screens around. With around 40-50 inch of joy, I can play my xbox, watch some VHS, dvd or play on the Wii. Thing is. This tv is made for normal people and normal people don't seem to own multiple consoles. That's why there's only 1 component-entrance. Problem is that…

Blast from the Past 4: The Neverhood

I used to rent some of my games at the local library and what I did, was go there every week and get a few cool games. One of those weeks, I happen to come across a game called The Neverhood, which looked really awesome. Back then, I was playing with klay myself so I thought I'd give it a shot. And it was amazing! The Neverhood is the perfect example of the old 90's adventures and how versatile they can be. Unlike your average Monkey Island, Neverhood took place in a world that was created outside the computer-world just…

Yesterday's Jam

This weekend was hectic. Fun, but a lot. And to resume it, it was a great experience and made some new friends, but I did miss my weekend a little. Last week I was invited by the project manager of the Dutch Game Garden to participate in the Gamejam this weekend which was basically a weekend full of quick brainstorming and concepting in the form of a contest. At first, I was affraid it was gonna be Camp Geek, because I hate the whole camp-atmosphere, but it turned out to be a really cool atmosphere. Nice people and nice work.…
