In with a bad lot, Tim?

Gamespot has an item on Majesco being sued by some of its own shareholders. Is it just me, or is there a regular stream of stories, lately, that give the impression that they are all involved in dodgy dealings of one kind or another? If they aren’t guilty of dubious workforce practices or not paying …

Pants on Fire

Rockstar seem to have been caught telling porkies, according to this item on Eurogamer. To be honest, I’m more astounded by the fact that the critics of the unlockable sex scene seem to be more concerned with this than the glorification of crime and murder that the GTA games revel in. Weird set of priorities …

Problem fixed

It seems that it wasn’t the problem I thought it was and the site is now back.

Temporary problems

The Juniper Games site is down at the moment. I’m hoping to return it to full working order very shortly.

Daft as a Doughnut

Russian Astrologer Sues Nasa I somehow missed this weirdness earlier in the week. I’m astounded at the stupidity that abounds in the world. Perhaps Nasa and all the world’s astronomers should sue astrologers for blatant lies and deception?

Competition clarification

“All the finalists will receive a signed print of a Steve Ince version of their character – worth the entry fee on its own!” It seems that the above attempt at humour in the competition announcement has caused a little confusion in some quarters. So, just to be clear, I need to state that there …

Juniper Games competition

Has life become a tad predictable? Do days stretch into oblivion? Is something… missing… but you just don’t know what? Juniper Games has just the thing to put sparkle in your eyes, create envy in your friends and better yet – alarm your family! Yes, you can play a part in the development of a …

London bombings

While it comes as no surprise that London has been targetted by terrorists, I’m still apalled at the way some people have such a disregard of human life just for their political ends. Working in the games industry means that I have lots of contacts who live and/or work in the London area and I …

Apologies

Two of my sites have been down for the last couple of days. This was due to a serious server problem at the company that provides my hosting. I’ve just finished putting everything back in place, so I’m hoping that everthing works okay. Please let me know if you find any problems such as broken …

A small hiatus

There is no Mr. Smoozles today. The stresses of last week got to me a little and I decided to have a completely relaxing weekend and so didn’t do the strips for this week. The worries surrounding my father played heavily on my mind, particularly as I have an appointment at the hospital myself tomorrow …

On the mend

My father is already at home and is well on the road to recovery already, which is a great relief and we’re all thankful it didn’t turn out to be more serious.

Opposites

I find the workings of the universe very difficult to understand, even at the best of times, but yesterday pushed this to the limit. After being contacted by a publisher who wanted to talk about Juniper Crescent – The Sapphire Claw, something which is highly desirable, I got news early yesterday evening that my father …
