The real Minion. The one with more W.I.P.s than there are stars in the (blue)sky.
I shouldn't, but I did. Another weekend, another W.I.P. Well chuffed with the animation though. Not bad for 30 mins work.

Today marks 50 days since I lost my beloved wife :( The longest we were ever apart was for 1 night in the last 32 years, and now it is 50 days, and I miss her desperately. I miss her more today than I did yesterday but not as much as tomorrow. :(

What's the point of coding these games, when a tit comes along and shovels AI crap onto the scene then refuses to update/debug/fix anything with it as they've no idea what they're doing ? It just seems pointless now.

I'm beginning to believe people have lied to me. Chickens do NOT come from eggs. The number of eggs I've planted over the years, and not once has a chicken sprouted from them :(

If you were to watch the Aliens franchise movies, would that include the Alien Vs Predator films ? And if so, would you then also have to watch the Predator films as well ?

Wish I could sacrifice a sprite for tokens. Just imagine, 1 8x8 sprite could give you an additional 64 tokens ! One can dream though.

This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).
