I don't know about you, but I'm kinda sad it's over.  I still have half a bucket of popcorn left over...

I've recently discovered that Manchego is really good.  However, I'm still in love with burrata after having it on a pizza last year.

Ha, I was just considering doing this as well.  Let me know if you get too many requests and I'll take some off your hands 

Most modern AAA "hardcore" games are casual games anyway with their hand holding, lack of depth and "accessibility at all costs" design philosophy. It's hard to find an action game that doesn't feel like a guided tour through the set of a summer blockbuster.

I thought the main idea behind calling casual games casual is that you can get right into them without any prior knowledge.  In other words, there's barely anything to learn.  Now although there's little depth in the games you're talking about, there is a lot of mental association of buttons with actions required that takes some getting used to.  This is opposed to, say, Peggle, which is intuitive and minimal.

I definitely concur with Falsion that the Neapolitan is the way to go.  Regardless, to make it the ultimate pizza, use

Burrata.

There's this place called Keste in NYC that serves a pizza with burrata on it (only on the weekends), which, when I first had it, positively blew my mind.  Definitely required eating for any true pizza aficionado.

Talk about statistics huh

Reminds me of an episode of Radiolab that I like: Stochasticity.  It explores coincidences and why they seem so striking, and why they really aren't.

What was the statistic again?  Out of 30 people there would be 2 or 4 who share the same birthday?

The exact statistic is that given a group of 23 or more random people, it is more likely than not (i.e. there is a greater than 50% probability) that two of them will share a birthday.

Next time I'm going to take a hike, I'm going to imagine that the world is moving under my feet, backward, and that I am actually in the future looking at the movie in reverse. Haa~dokoru.

I wrote a poem or something about this once, about how I was staying still while my skateboard and the Earth started traveling in orthogonal directions only for the Earth to change its mind and careen into my knee.  Considering the mass of the Earth, I'm lucky I wasn't wounded more seriously.

It's kind of the feeling you get when you have some sort of balance disorder, which I currently have, which may be caused by my diet.  Apparently many people aren't getting enough vitamin D, though.

Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by Nth?  Do you mean high-order or infinite/asymptotically high-order?

I'm pescetarian, meaning I don't eat land living animals. I also don't eat shellfish (it's like eating insects ).

Delicious, meaty insects, covered in drawn butter.  Yum.

Partially just cos I really like Vincent D'Onofrio, but:

Third diagnosis today for whatever it is I have is the same as the first diagnosis.  New pills to take.

CUSP, BABY.

But then again, Bill Nye the Science Guy has

to say on the subject.  So who knows what sign...

Haven't listened to it in a long time.

erm, i read the description of what you see too quickly and ended up seeing this little face instead:

I started messing around in FamiTracker and ended up with a tune with a Megaman feel:

Apologies, my screen recorder/video card couldn't keep up with HHR very well, but I went ahead and threw it up onto the webs anyway.  Fullscreen is hard to record.  I'm surprised Toys worked, considering it was in Unity.  Now you know why I do so many low-res games!

@Brother Android: Sorry to crap on your childhood fave, but IMO it just didn't stand the test of time!

The

videos for the game are finished.  Lots of fun, but too short, in my opinion.  I must've missed some stuff?

Okay, the first couple of requests have been fulfilled!

Here are

as well as

.  Fun Fact: I don't actually beat these games because they're not the type of games one beats.

Sorano, I attempted to download your game but instead came face to face with a login screen to which I knew no way around!

More videos on their way!  Exclamation points!

Some of my friends insist their work is much better or more inspired when they're high, but to me the quality doesn't seem to differ that much.  Maybe it's just that some drugs make you feel that what you're doing is better or "more pure" when you're doing it and once you come down, being in a different state of mind lets you judge it from another perspective.
