Well the blog has been slow again, mainly due to work commitments. To make up for this here is my new game Starling Golf a rather odd game of golf featuring the starlings. Its actually a kind of sequel to the Blobuloids. The blobs has now been downloaded an amazing 580,000 times in the past 6 weeks, also rather strangely it seems to be the Chinese and South Americans who have really blobbed themselves out over it.

What has amused me though are some of the comments I have received about the game.

Here are a few:-

“its so great i could play 4 the rest of my life “, hmmmm yes I am kind of scared

“i like playing this game because it makes you think!” , okay.

“this game is good for fat people and im fat”,  right.

“the game needs cheese, cheese is the best food”, well finally a sensible one I do agree on.

I stumbled upon this rather odd site this week, Feed the head a very surreal flash game.

Its very difficult to explain, in essence it just a load of very cool animations but very slicky put together, one of the things I really like about it is that it’s completely pointless. No score no goal just kind of fun trying to find new things which happen to the head.

Anyway check the link, its awesome.

Well, the blog has been a bit slow recently mainly due to workload and also a quick trip up to Scotland for some walking action. I love going away to remote places, mainly because you never know what you are going to find. The village we stayed in turned out to be basically a pub, probably the smallest village I have ever seen. Strangely though the pub was always very busy and I have absolutely no idea where all the local drinkers came from.

Noticeable odd things which happened on the trip: a) the first local in the bar turned out to be a time share saleman. b) the second local I talked tgo actually used to live 2 doors away from me in Leamington c) I tried oysters for the first time, I can safely say they were utterly revolting, tasted like salty sea snot.
Lastly the pub had a dead raccoon nailed to the wall,  which was a little odd as I’m not sure that raccoons are native to Scotland, although there was some debate as to whether it was in fact a badger painted to look like a raccoon.
