I’m ill
So if you’re owed an e-mail or an update or anything, please bear with me while I rid myself of these horrendous germs.
E-mail problems
All my web sites appear to be working, yet half my e-mail addresses are failing. At the moment I’m waiting for my hosting provider to respond, but if any of you reading this have had e-mails bounce or are waiting for a reply to something, this is the reason. I’m very sorry, but it’s out …
Sometimes, beta testing throws up something unexpected…
I have a number of poeple beta testing Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso and this morning I was reading through some e-mails that arrived overnight.

I created the drawing you see here and sent him the original as well as a high quality print of the coloured version, for which he was very grateful. If anyone else has any requests for specifically created drawings …
Why Bad Games are Bad – article at Eurogamer
(I would have linked to the original article but the site seems to be down.) Eurogamer has a piece reporting on an article by David A. Rodriguez in which he “explains” why bad games are that way. While there is an element of truth in what he says (and certainly, publishers should appreciate the skills …

Nutso Preview at Broken Sword Zone
Isak, over at Broken Sword Zone, has posted a preview of Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso. I love the way his enthusiasm for the game comes through.
Poor review for Paradise
There’s a review of Paradise over at Just Adventure + which gives the game only a D as the score, which is pretty poor for a game from which I’ve seen some excellent screen shots. When you read the review, though, you can see why the mark was so low. Although it’s a great shame …
