Poing peek #3

Filed Under Projects, Retro, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Today’s post starts off by me saying “sorry”. Again. I wish I could break the habit, but hey, this place just wouldn’t be what it was if there weren’t the frequently incorrect release dates and hopelessly inaccurate promises!
We’re talking about the Poing! PC community level pack, of course. I won’t harp on about [...]

If you’re missing Mythos…

E3 has come and gone, and I can’t say there was anything in it that really grabbed me by the throat. Well, apart from perhaps one thing…
First of all, if you didn’t get sucked up in the miniature hype tornado that appeared around Mythos before it sadly disappeared off the face of the internet, let [...]

Ptwoing!

It seems to be a tradition here in the UK to use bank holidays in order to get rid of all those DIY jobs you’ve been meaning to do for ages… so, in recognition of this, I’m not going to do anything constructive whatsoever! Alright, well, maybe a bit. My recent obsession with [...]

Poing peek #2

Filed Under Projects, Retro, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Awww man. That’s just my luck. I couldn’t show my face around here until I finally put together a few more screenshots of the upcoming new Poing! PC levels – and now, when they’re actually ready to post, weird stuff happens. Bloody typical. I won’t stand for it, I tell you! Someone will pay!! [...]

The sound of silence

Filed Under Projects, Random, Utilities | Leave a Comment

Yes, the long silence is broken with something that definitely isn’t a Poing community level preview (coming soon… honest!). Instead… well, what on earth is THIS?

Presenting the first (and possibly the last) screenshot of: EightyForty, an oldschool DOS-ish screen prototyper! Boring, nerdy and geeky, yes? Hell no! This is the cutting edge, I tell ya…
This [...]

Copious apologies

Filed Under Competitions, Projects, Retro, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

I said I’d post some more teasers of the new Poing! PC community levels over the weekend. I failed. Miserably.
Sorry folks. You deserve better! I have slapped myself on the wrist and will remedy this by posting some teasers later in the week.

I was going to wait until tomorrow before announcing this, but since all the preliminary guff has been done, there’s not much point in waiting around…
Pleasantly, as I’ve been able to get a huge amount done over the past few days, I’m happy to announce that Dalyn’s Quill is now available for you to download! [...]

I’ll get you next time, Gadget!

Filed Under Projects, Utilities, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Today’s blog post is about gadgets. Not the cool type of gadgets (like, for example, the gorgeous-looking Optimus Maximus Keyboard), but boring buttons, labels and spinboxes. Yeah. I know what I’d prefer to be playing around with…
Specifically I wanted to ramble on about the gadgets I’ve stuffed into Dalyn’s Quill, and about some [...]
