Oh, good, another way I’ve been unknowingly exploiting the poor.
It’s a repeated source of frustration to me - I wish I could say ‘a continual source,’ but I’m not that good of a person - that so much of the convenience and simplicity of my life comes from unseen, unethical labor practices. I want to be able to live without blood on my hands, and I have an...

this is why i'm giving $30 to tim schafer
Tim Schafer, in response to the question “How do you feel about finishing Psychonauts?”:
“Well, try to forget for a second that I don’t know anything at all about foot ball, and I will tell you that I feel like we just made the touchdown of all touchdowns, after running the entire length of the field, and the field was so long that it took five years to run, and it was...

Some of my friends have started a sort of group blog/community thing - you could call it ‘an interdisciplinary dialogue’ and I’d agree with you because that’s sort of the goal, but you could also call it ‘an exercise in classy creative self-promotion’ and I wouldn’t fight you, either. You might find it interesting, or boring, or offensive, or it may make...

Everyone’s all, ‘Go to school, learn stuff, it’ll be great,’ but they don’t understand about how I need to bake pumpkin bread and finish reading Dancing with Eternity. And you need to art! What gives, adult world?
i kno right. u-u
I am halfway through - tell me when you’re done! I want to hear what other people think about it. I really...

I haven’t been blogging because I’ve been working on stuff for another blog and then also sitting at my apartment, generally being an unproductive person. Not that tumblring is generally considered productive. Seriously: tomorrow, I start being a human being again, y’all.
But I did make a chicken pot pie, so we have that!

Tension and Tenacity
waffleguppies:
K, who as I may have mentioned several hundred times basically has the best ideas, asked for something along the lines of a Portal/Jane Austen AU for Christmas.
I’m a very slow writer.
I also quickly discovered that I can’t write like Jane Austen. Plus, I tried to historypick this as much as I could, but if I’ve screwed up I’d rather know about it, especially as I might even...

Guys. Double Fine, the crazy mad geniuses behind some of the best games of the last few years, wants help to fund their next project. They’re asking us, the fans, to help them gather the money to create their new game. They want to keep it pure and untainted by the corporates. And I mean, come on. It’s Double Fine, and that’s really all you should have to know.
I would give...

I… what? I can’t read this woman’s artist statement, because it’s in Italian. But Flavorwire says she is asking, “What would have happened if the aesthetic standard of our society had belonged to the collective unconscious of the great artists of the past?” Which is not really a question I feel needs a lot of answering. Because the answer is: they would look like...

This post is not related to video games, but it will improve your life.
Whenever I make something, and it turns out well, I’m tempted to post about it on Facebook and mention that I’m single and available. I figure that’d be a bit tasteless, though, since I’m still friends with several former romantic interests.
So, instead, I will share with you. Here’s the recipe...

Gah! I guess I actually have a couple of followers now! That’s pretty sweet. Kind of unexpected. Tumblr! Who knew? Hello, all.
So that means I feel a little more excited about recommending this story. I’ve been meaning to, but it seemed pointless to recommend it to the few people I knew who…

So that means I feel a little more excited about recommending this story. I’ve been meaning to, but it seemed pointless to recommend it to the few people I knew who had been following me already (since I’d told them about it before).

good to know
Today I learned that, at least for a while, Ellen McClain, the voice of GLaDOS, was also the voice of something called the Honeywell Runway Awareness and Advisory System (she called it the ‘Honeywell Runway Alert System’) which is used in airports all over the world. When approaching the runway, pilots are automatically connected to this system, which informs them of their altitude,...
