Storm = no power one week later

  • Dec 21, 2006

Well the storm hit hard and I'm still without power on South Beacon Hill one week later.

I've stayed a couple nights at my parents in auburmn, a night at the Ace hotel (low brow... might be more fun to stay in the summer time.), and am wrapping up staying at the Hotel Max which is a really comfortable, hip and wonderful hotel downtown! It kind of reminds me of a more art-centric verion of "The Hotel" in Las Vegas.

I was optomistic last night that I might have power today seeing the work crews not far from my area...

But, no luck. Still no power at my house this morning! My house is the only one without power on my block (my power comes from the block across the street for some reason). I'm happy for the families that live around me but, it's a little funny to have no power at your house and thenhave your neighbors house look like this:

Stormy weather?

so the big hype o nthe news up here in Washington is that we are going to have a super windstorm tonight... they re saying it could be as bad as the crazy one we had in 93! During that one people were without power for a week or so in some areas!

Who knows it could just be hyped out of proportion like everything else weather-wise in Seattle.

This game Cloud looks pretty cool! Float around as a cloud collect other clouds purify the air... pretty intriguing.

you can play the authors other game flow online http://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/flowing/ it may be the best Flash game I've ever played. you control an organism that evolves as you eat other organisms... freaking addictive and awesome!!!! Do yourself a favor and download the desktop version in case your browser decides to crash.

 

I haven't played a lot of independent games yet but, I am always intrigued when I see something this fresh. It's refreshing to see new types of gameplay.

pink godzilla games

My Friend David has been doing work wit the folks at Pink Godzilla in Seattle (check out their kick ass mascot logo he created). retro, import games and such.

I really like their card game idea they are producing... sounds very funny.

Basically it spoofs game development as a card game.

sounds pretty fresh and funny.

some really great illustrations!
