try the feedback section of tigsource, it would probably go over well and i think a bunch of the other indie game sites check there for interesting stuff too. you might want to post in the intro thread first though.

Leo & Leah: A Love Story

i just got to the start of chapter 2 where the cat runs away with the bug. it's a pity you picked a butterfly as opposed to some other insect though. i know i would have liked to have seen..... an ant elope ;^]

with that out of the way i'm enjoying it so far, there's a very focused feel to the locations that i like which i guess is a result of the less-places-with-more-detail approach and the writing is good/unforced. i like the save cats with the flashing eyes too!

whoa hell yeah! downloading now and i'll come back with crits, no lie..... no "lion" ?B¬{[

What's your white whale?

I guess it would be the album "Gang War" by Gene Maltais. He was (is??? i remember reading he's still alive somewhere. i wanted to send him a postcard telling him how much i loved his work) a fifties rockabilly musician who cut what is probably my favourite song ever, "The Raging Sea":



I think I first heard this when I was 16, looking it up on some old archive site after coming across it in a magazine article on the roots of american punk. The writer compared it to jack nicholson in 'the shining'' breaking down doors with an axe and he wasn't wrong. There's a frenzied hacking wildness to it that I love but more than that it's just an incredibly joyous song. There's a sense of openness to the sound and a joy to it that gets me every time. It still sounds fresh and startling to me: I've listened to a lot of rockabilly stuff and most of it is just boring trash, the sound of local good ole boys dutifully staying within the limits of a sound, but this isn't like that at all: it's like the sound of someone picking up a genre and trashing it completely, not from spite or carelessness so much as enthusiasm and awe at the sound they're making. It's almost like the musical equivalent of someone standing just that bit too close to you in that sense of a line of mutual detachment being crossed. Instead of sitting back and listening passively to something you get sucked into it, unable to tune it out, drawn in by the sense of something tired and predictable suddenly becoming exciting once again. I think this is what I love more than anything else about music: the way Johnny Rotten draws out sounds in 'Anarchy In the Uk' until it becomes this kind of gleeful steam-escaping-from-a-pipe hiss, the way The Slits throw you off with a sudden clattering change of rhythm and melody. Tension and glee. If I had to pick one song to pinpoint this sensation it would be "The Raging Sea".

Gene Maltais released a few other singles too and they're all good: "Crazy Baby" is just this wild-eyed deranged staggering thing with him shrieking WELL IIIIIIIII SAY GO!!! as he jerks violently into the chorus, "Gang War" has the same tense rhythm and momentum as the opening parts of "The Raging Sea". I tracked down a bunch more of his stuff like demos etc and in all of it there was the sense of slipping and sliding into raw excitement and openness.

I could never find any other real reference too him, which always kind of amazed me. Most of his songs were on compilations scraping the vaults of various old record labels. This was why it blew me away to find out there was actually a full album compiling all his stuff and that it was actually for sale on amazon. Unfortunately it was for some ridiculous price like $35 not including shipping etc and idk i could never really convince myself to splurge on that much for a cd. It's still on there, I think. I eventually found it online and downloaded and it was great but the physical cd still has a kind of weird totemic appeal to me.

Why I am so good with the ladies.

First question you ask.... what is lady?? what is the ESSENCE of lady...... you must understand this question fully if you are to become a "master of ladys".... what IS lady. lady is three parts: real, imaginary, symbolic, yet you see only TWO any one time. this is because YOU are fulfilling third role in lady tripartite... you are "third wheel". this is important!! you do not make love to lady. she makes love to herself while you are there. your role in love...... is to fulfil this basic techique.. this is the "trinity technique" of love and has never yet failed.... understand the three face of lady

IMAGINARY: symbolised by "snake". this is perhaps most devious part of lady yet, also most beautiful... you can tell imaginary stance by 'alloy' temperment of lady. an IMAGINARY-ELEMENT lady will always brish her hair with her LEFT HAND... to counteract imagine you must stare firmly into eyes and contracting chestmuslces to provbide "real complement".

SYMBOLIC: this can be hard to detect but there is a way... simply put.... move crabwise around lady and see whether she follows with eye or neck movements in initial. if she remains motionless she is "symbolic" lady and must be loved via phone message.

REAL: (also known as "fire woman", "dread woman") this is most important part.... when woman is making 'coffeehouse' eyes as removes clothing..... is where you strike..... however if a woman is real you must counter with imagine/symbolic act and walkaway in disgust. you will immediately gain her powers.

most women are combinations of the two and you must react.... however dont worry if you use wrong key as there are "plenty of fish" and always more goals to reach!! if you fulfil these stages you will become the master of wind and gain the keys to womens houses for all eternity...

I like the one on the left. for one thing androgyny is probably a plus if you're going for an "everyman" figure and it also looks less uh visually boring / 90scomicbookesque than the faceless guy?? also more playful with theme than a literal faceless anime man.

What are you thinking about right now?
