Runaway: A Twist of Fate review posted at Adventure Gamers

This morning Adventure Gamers posted my review of Runaway: A Twist of Fate, the third game in the Runaway series. While I was working at Telltale I stayed away from reviewing PC games to avoid a conflict of interest, so this is my first PC review in quite a while. My first draft went into a bit too much gritty technical detail about graphics and 2D vs. 3D and all sorts of other things that the average person doesn’t care about. Re-learning to review PC games after leaving a game development company is kind of like re-learning to speak after a massive head trauma.

I really enjoyed this game in spite of a few flaws, and I recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a new adventure game to play. (Especially now that Tales of Monkey Island has wrapped up, eh?) It’s currently only available for PC download, but is also supposed to be coming out in a retail version as well as for Wii and DS in the nearish future.

I’ve been stumbled… upon

Hey, thank you to whoever Stumbled my website a few days ago. On Saturday my Google Analytics stats went up about a zillion percent. (Many of those visitors quickly departed, but whatever. They were here for a fleeting moment, or two…)

Nature continues to be gross (yet fascinating)

While doing an oil change on my car this afternoon, Geoff discovered that a critter had taken up residence under the hood and gnawed through an ignition wire.

(Not sure what you’re looking at? Click here for an establishing shot.)

Note the little string nest behind the wires. Apparently some sort of rodent was in here looking for a warm bed. (A mouse curling up on a warm engine—the equivalent of a hobo warming his hands over an oil drum fire?) Luckily it was smart enough to get out before the car was turned on again. At least, we think so, because there are no crispy critters to be found. That would have been even grosser.

The wire has been completely chewed through and it’s sort of amazing the car still runs. We turned it on with the hood up and watched the spark jump across the gap from one end of the wire to the other. Electricity… it’s like magic!
