On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness

21 May

Just grabbed the new Penny Arcade game off xbox live and I have to say that it’s a lot better than I though it would be. The animation and asthetics are great, the dialog is witty, just as you’d expect from PA, and the pacing seems nice a quick so far. I look forward to playing the rest of it.

If you’re not an xbox live-er, you go grab the game at greenhouse games. I want to say they have it available for PC, Mac, and Linux but I’m not sure and too lazy to follow my own link.

I highly recommend checking this out. On XBLA it’s 1600 points but well worth it.

The Brave New World of Server-Side Javascript

Every once in a while I hear whispers of server-side javascript and I get just as excited as the next person. But, I’ll admit that until recently a phrase like “Javascript on Rails” was on the same level as a phrase like “McGyver vs. The A Team – The Movie.” Fictonal. But awesome in theory.
