; Hello World


This week I considered starting a new blog.
Every day on Facebook, I post a health checkup/status update that I've nicknamed BubbleWatch, on account of it mostly being about a weird bubble on the back of my neck, which gloops in and out at different times.
Coupled with my daily "Song that I can't get the fuck out of my head!" that i post to Twitter, I figured I could create a semi-interesting blog, and maybe gain a follower or two. Or one.. Maybe..

So, armed with a simple target, I downloaded Blogger's iPad app.
Jesus fuckloads, was that a bad idea!?
Have you SEEN it!?
It's SHIT!!
Even I could make a more useful app than that!!

No way to add ANYTHING to your blog post.
No Youtube embed button, No Layout options, No Tables..
Not even a simple BOLD button.
Even Socoder has those!!!!

You can, at least, upload a photo. But that's about it.

Shit.
Absolute shit.

I gave up, then, so this blog idea hasn't yet appeared.
Lemmie know if there's any interest.

Spinal's decided to give TV Output a whirl, on his new iOS game. He hasn't the foggiest how to get started, though. Do you?!

Lots of nice juicy Top 10 lists, with games ranging from all over the place! Why not all your own list!?

; Videogeddon X

Regular contributor WarOffice sent us more loveliness. Y U NO CONTRIBUTE?!
Dean says "This is kinda cool" which is a bit short for these sections, but we'll let him off, since he at least sent something!

; Kicking Off

The Oliver Twins, Peter Molyneux and David Braben have all inexplicably decided to attempt to rip off their customers, before they've bothered to make their games yet, by setting up Kickstarter events.
Oh dear.
Backlash!!!

; Solitaire!

Damn, I wish I'd noticed this before it sold out, but with only 500 decks printed, not much of a chance, really!
Windows Solitaire Cards IRL!

A nice update to PMC, this week. I'm not entirely sure what all was included, but they mentioned it on Twitter, so.. Um.. They must've done something, right!?
I did notice that the play/pause button now "blurps" into view, as opposed to the way it used to just appear. Makes things look a little more professional, even if the lovely effects still end up taking you to my shitty 8bit styled games!

; Rosko's Great Adventure 0.5

Victorbs has made a nice simple little shooty game, with nice big artsy sprites, and even an intro.

; Proportionate Balancing

jenmenasha creates a kind of puzzle type game, where you need to control the airflow through a set of tubes, to get a series of balls to float at the right height. Tricky stuff!

Is the binomial distribution generally more popular than binoculars, or does Google just know what I'm like?
