It's either that or COD MW2, hard choice.

Anyone make some like that ?

I know I've seen Knugen make a few.

I've made about 2 which took me 3 days.
(both got me an avg. of like 600$ lmfao)

I've always wanted to find someone who could do two games a week for about 6 months or something. He could have a big list of game ideas, and quickly develop them one by one. That would surely give him a big pay off in the end.

Just today I decided to preorder both those games for the 360.
Novembers gonna be a good month.

You gotta be kidding me, .7z is where it's at and 7zip is the best archiving program availables. Windows 7 (can't remember if Vista does also) allows you to open .zip files inside the file browser but it's so fucking slow, it takes 7zip about 1/100th of the time to remove zipped files.

That's a hefty piece of trophy.

He just got through to the final 12 ;)

Anyway, I'm working on a game for once. I just started doodling and its changed from about 3 different things. I think it could be pretty addicting.

I'll post some art samples later <3

Oh shit! I don't have a job!

My final day at my last job was wednesday, so after nearly 3 years I'm finally out. I decided I want to go freelance for a while. I'm going back to do a few days here and there for my old company, but at contractor rates (~£450 per day). The rest of my time will be divided between freelance contracts as and when I find them, and doing games for AG with Dim.

It's kinda only just settling in though. I don't have a job anymore! Shiiiii...

What is your problem?

Bluegrass anyone?

Doubt anyone here even remembers that.

Or me, anyway.

Who could forget either? They were simpler times, they were better times.

Anyone seen Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe show?

I loved it, it wasn't too technical for newbies but it wasn't stupid and didn't exclude real gamers. And Charlie Brookers satire comedy always adds to that type of show. I hope they make more.

Today I programmed pong into my calculator. Life is good.

Needed workaround right there, though.

MoFunZone stealing traffic from ArmorGames?

Now according to many dictionaries, "armor" is spelled as both "armor" and "armour" (the latter being more used by the british). And a number of people know it as armour.

MoFunZone has gotten the domain www.armourgames.com which redirects to their site. That way, they're stealing a lot of traffic from armor games. That is one sneaky underhanded trick.

Anyone saw this before?

its frowned upon in most parts of the world

I was just about to post a similar link. Good news, for me at least.

About the AG/MoFunZone thing. It's been that way for quite a while I think. Kind of unprofessional if you ask me.

Yeah, I knew about it. Apparently it's been a sore spot for Armor Games for a while and Mo refuses to give it up.

I think it's a bit shady to steal mis-directed traffic instead of building up your site legitimately.

I wonder why Armor Games didn't think of buying that name variation when they started.

There were similar instances like that here with a nationwide office supply chain. At one point Staples had bought every conceivable misspelling of Office Depot and redirected it straight to their primary domain.

Funny stuff. Kind of shocked Armour was powerless to do anything about that though. It happens. What's worse than squatters, is when someone with a nearly identical name, runs a horrible business. We field about 20 calls a month from angry customers, reading us the riot act about our shitty hosting. Our company does not offer hosting. They are in Florida, and we are in Oregon. I can't wait for the Better Business Bureau to shut them down. :)
