3 - 2 - 1… Action Half-life. →
Wow. This retrospective really brings back some good memories. Since Action Half-Life, I haven’t played a shooter that’s much fun multiplayer with less than 3 or 4 people. AHL was better with 4 or less.

Our new grill

New commenting system
I’ve just implemented the Disqus comment system here on the ol’ Tumblr, replacing the Haloscan comments I had before. This new setup seems more widely used and kinda centrally supported by the folks at Tumblr. Test it out, peoples.

Epic Makes A Buy: Epic Snags Undertow Developer... →
I thought Undertow was pretty fun multiplayer. But I also got it as a free download from Microsoft. Chair licensed Unreal 3 to make the game, maybe Epic liked that they crammed their entire game into the 50MB limit.
