So recently I’ve been working on a website with Abbie about the Middle East.
I’ve been writing a trading game in Perl for a bit of light relief.
And I’ve been re-reading all my Kurt Vonnegut books (and re buying the ones I’ve given away over the years).
Things i’ve been thinking about include, evolution, how surreal broken 3d graphics looks, all jagged vertices and so on breaking the photo realistic surface, computer games as the first true industrial art form.
Mostly though I’ve been playing Zelda on the Wii: It’s so insanely polished, it feels like a relic but in the sense that games like this seem to be a dying art. Basically it’s flawless and the Ice Dungeon (Snow Mansion, whatever) is a serious contender for best Zelda dungeon EVER.
