Hillside Victorian – trimapolooza

When we last saw the Hillside Victorian, she had cleaned up nicely under the light blue house paint and white trim, and was awaiting her navy blue accent color. I really hate painting trim so I’ve been kind of lazy about it, but here’s the progress of the last two weeks.

My first step was to mask off the areas around the trim I planned to paint with the accent color, to (theoretically) protect what I’d already painted. I went through a lot of tape. Then I painted the accent trim with a couple of coats of Glidden’s “slate gray,” leftover from my Rosedale.

I really made an effort to stay inside the lines…

From a distance, it looks great!

Eye on iPhone vol. 5 – Law & Order, Touch Detective, etc.

After a fairly lengthy hiatus (my fault, not theirs), Adventure Gamers has posted the fifth installment of my Eye on iPhone article series. I continue to be baffled by the number of mischaracterized non-adventures cluttering the App Store’s adventure section and this is my small attempt to make it right. (Which, much like adventure games themselves, goes largely unnoticed…)

Self deprecation aside, there are some impressive games in the mix this time, including the first episode of Telltale’s Law & Order: Legacies (Lennie Brisco lives!), the recently ported Touch Detective (which originally underwhelmed me on Nintendo DS but has somehow gotten better with age), and the very creepy Ellie – Help Me Out… Please.

You should totally go read it.
