Noting of course that Abbott just this week said he wouldn't want to tell a business owner how to do their job, with respect to Gina and Fairfax.
Clazziquai is also quite a bit easier and has a pretty good song list. It's probably a good one to start on.
Sega Australia closed today including its local publishing operations

Currently offshore East Africa on a deepwater drill rig a bit bigger than the Deepwater Horizon.
If they had beer here, I'd post a photo.
We're allowed to sunbathe on the helipad when the chopper isn't coming in.
Biggest health and safety concern for us here are Somalian Pirates. We've got private mercenaries on board (ex-Royal British Green Berets) and two gun boats doing laps of the rig, each with 3 armed mercs and 8 members of the local navy. A bit further out is another security vessel we can't see. We get security updates daily and everyone gets excited when there have been mothership sitings although the amount of military hardware we've got around the rig guarantees things will remain boring.
Spent a few nights in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. The three beers they have there are lagers - Kilimanjaro, Tusker and Serengeti and they're all watery and forgettable. I have to be escorted everywhere I go as we're potential kidnapping targets. I have a colleague back in Brisbane who was held for ransom for a month in West Africa and he advises against it. Food is pretty terrible outside of expat areas but I don't think overpaid westerners have a license to complain when on tour in a developing country.

You lead an interesting life.

Dear everyone who is going to Comic Con tomorrow:
While you're there having fun, why not check out some of the locally made independent comics made by local independent artists? You're sure to find something cool you'll like. Comics are awesome!
I don't know which ones will be on sale (except for Paul Mason's incredible The Soldier Legacy, that stuff is AMAZING and I've got no doubt he'll be working at Marvel any time soon) but you can't go wrong by taking ten minutes to have a look around.
COMICS!
Love, Gazunta
PS: STAN LEE!

Melbgaf was terrible. Everyone was nice, no one was an asshat and I forgot to say would to Shan.
Also there's now lots of footy people on my train. Fuck.
It was a pretty darn enjoyable evening, even though it was a little odd at first for everyone. I think that's expected though.
Cute train chick oh yea.

Discussed: game boy camera, beer, Mario party, pizza (discussed but never ordered), jogging chick in the duty free store, games and stuff, I forget.
Awkward moments: people awkwardly walking past the table 3 times before approaching, people touching aon, aon flinging his copsticks, no one taking holy checks beer, I think I drank too much ... uuum. Other people can add to the list.
Feel free to add me on Facebook if you can find me.
I bet you would have
So vicarious, deek.
Did you see the app on my phone that turns the camera into a Game Bou camera? You would have been totally impressed. Srsly.Discussed: game boy camera, beer, Mario party, pizza (discussed but never ordered), jogging chick in the duty free store, games and stuff, I forget.

For those keeping track, here's the new build of Dundeon: A Game About Fighting Things Until They Die.
It's not much, but at least it does something now. Click and drag from the F sprite to move it. ... That is all the video game I have made so far.
New debug features:
- Removed WASD movement for Sprite
+ Two movement styles available. Default is "Free Move", and you can toggle between it and "Grid Move" by pressing the M key. Note: don't do this while moving the sprite.
+ Added "auto predict" logic for when you click and drag faster than flash updates. These squares are currently coloured in red for testing purposes.
+ You can move the sprite
I think at this point I am 80% satisfied with the base controls for this game. I think they're intuitive and functional (though needs better visual response to the player), and I suspect they will work just as well when I add more units to control. Keep in mind I am developing the controls to be able to fit a tablet control scheme, so everything is going to be mouse/click based. Though of course, Flash ain't going near iOS devices anytime soon. But if I see potential I might port it over to another language if Megadrive's up for that.
We're not breaking land-speed indie game development records, but for 2 days work it's nice to have some groundwork done.
