Hello World
This week, the newsletter has a great big chunk removed.
There's usually a section of Kaizen and Moshboy's latest gaming picks, but since Kaizen's released his massive Pixel Prospector site, this week, I'm going to be lazy and let you roam around there instead.
It's a massive site, and it has literally hundreds of free downloadable indie games, ready and waiting for you to play through them.
If you've just finished your exams, and have a bit of free time over the next couple of months, prepare to lose ALL your free time!

In the Workshop..
Avoid Football like the plague by doing something Productive for 90 minutes each day.
Doesn't seem like anyone else is joining in, though.
Bugger.
I thought that'd get people involved..

In the Shoutbox..
Haircuts, Polls, Birthdays
and those creepy people on your street who you've never said hi to, but who seem to know a lot about you..
and then become your new math tutor...
In the Mudchat..
CSS Issues
USB Sticks
Spikey Hair
and Simultaneous Equations

E3 2010
If you're not enjoying Kaizen's 200+ free indie game archive, why not have a peek into the future, and look at some game that'll come out in about 6 months, and that you'll have to pay for.
