REMOVEM GAME ONLINE FULL
Should have blagged last weekend, but it ended up being full of soccer + sausage and beans for lunch + the freemarket (where I scored an excellent pea soup-colored skirt that fits perfectly, go me!) + visiting friends (complete with super mario galaxy, painting the outside of the house, and a trombone!) + more soccer + the apple festival at the historic house in the park (mmmm, fresh cider + fritters) + courtyard neighbor dinner. Upside: am not as stressed out as I could be about the upcoming elections or financial services crisis. Downside: have not been keeping up with the (online) paper + library news + blags. In a good way, definitely, but mental space has been limited.

Work has been a whirlwind since the start of the semester. That would be kickass on an iphone.ĭid I fall into a black hole? (perhaps created by the Large Hadron Collider?) No! Just busy here, is all. Oh Tesserae, how I miss you!Īnd SimCity, too. I’m disappointed in myself, but I keep being lured back in by the way that RemovEm sort of looks like my ur-puzzle game, Tesserae. Which I don’t consider to really be a game as much as a way to pass the time (oooh, burn!).

The UI is clean + pretty, but the gameplay is along the repetitive, pattern recognition lines of Tetris. The other games I have are all free, and I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit that the one I’m gravitating towards now is RemovEm, another puzzley game.
REMOVEM GAME ONLINE PLUS
Plus you can pick it up and put it down anytime without suffering for it (I just can’t make time for games that require lots of level memorization right now). It’s a puzzle game designed by some math whizzes and pushes all of my puzzley and trainy buttons. I’m still incredibly stingy about it so I’ve only bought one game: Subway Shuffle (I think it cost $2.99). The small bits of gaming I have been doing have all been on the iphone. At least not til that time extender’s invented. I might even be germinating a research project, but there’re 2 others ahead of it so I’m trying not to let myself get carried away. I haven’t had much time for video games lately, which makes me a little bit sad because I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about them. one of the racing ( maximum power!) or snowboarding ( stiffy!) variety.

All of that scanning for pedestrians (who are moving erratically while talking/texting), watching for sidewalk irregularities, aiming for curb cuts and keeping an eye out for cars driven by people who don’t remember that pedestrians AND scooteurs have the right of way…all of that reminds me of a good video game, esp.

I mean, of course it’s fun and all, but it also engages video gamey parts of my brain. Coffee + research days = wheeee!īut what I really want to talk about is that I realized recently that scooting to work is kind of like a video game. * which is the second word I’ve made up today! The first was “useways,” which is like foodways except about users + using. That sounds so negative…really, it’s a good backlog! I think the word “backlog” is onomatopoeiadically* bad-sounding, there’s no way around it. Why does it seem lately like the less I blag the more Mimi Smartypants does? Which is good in a way, because then when I finally have time to read her blag I have a nice backlog to catch up on.
