safe is subjective.

Ares Expedition has been out for a few months already, but it took us a while to get our Kickstarter copies… and then it took me a while to get this video edited… but I wanted to talk about it anyways! I did a 2 player review on The Daily […]
TERRAFORMING MARS: ARES EXPEDITION // FIRST LOOK REVIEW

I’ve been designing board games quite a bit lately and I’m having a blast. One of them is Narrow Gauge: Appalachia – a two player game about building railways in the Appalachian Mountains during the age of steam. This game was a blast to develop and test, and I’ve decided […]
I MADE A GAME AND YOU CAN PLAY IT RIGHT ...

I got super excited for the release of Mario Golf Super Rush. I’ve always enjoyed golfing games. They are relaxing and challenging at the same time. A bunch of online friends hyped it up and we expected to play online games fairly regularly… then the early reviews came out and […]
MARIO GOLF SUPER RUSH – WORTH IT?

Whoa. Two new videos 5 days apart!? I finally got to play Irish Gauge. It’s been on my shelf of shame for a long while. Game night started back up recently, and this was the first thing I grabbed to take. I love train games. I love Capstone Games. I […]
IRISH GUAGE // FIRST LOOK REVIEW

I’ve finally resurrected the gaming channel and for the first video back, I decided to do a sort of unboxing // review hybrid. I’ve been playing the game digitally for months, and am absolutely enamored with it. I loved the original, but couldn’t find people to play. This time, I […]
SUMMONER WARS SECOND EDTION MASTER SET

This simple custom, diy headboard was built with a few 1″x10″ pine boards, inexpensive LED lights, and an in-set power strip for extra functionality. You could build this in a weekend with limited tools. It’s a great beginner project that brings life to any bedroom and provides excellent lighting that’s […]
Simple DIY Lighted Headboard

I wanted to add some simple flower decor to my guest bathroom. Using a few $2 plants, some rustic pallet wood, and a coffee/sawdust mixture for the simulated dirt, I put together a few in an afternoon. They add great texture to an otherwise boring room! You can pick these […]
DIY FLOWER POT DECOR // EASY PALLET WOOD PROJECT

Yep, I started over again. Almost one month ago, I wrote that I had re-built how everything worked because it was becoming very repetitive. I deleted nearly 95% of the item generation code and replaced it. That re-write meant that I combined all of my item generators… at that time […]
re-Starting Over – Roguelike Design part 10

When I was a child, I started programming on an Atari 400. This was essentially an Atari 2600, but with a keyboard and some additional inputs for accessories. Mine had a tape drive which gave me working storage. It used standard cassette tapes which were abundant at the time. I […]
re-Learning Math – Roguelike Design part 9

Yes the title of this article is a bit dramatic… you call it click-bait if you want. The reality however, is that I deleted nearly 95% of the item generation code and replaced it. That’s what I’ve been doing this past week. In the last article, I made some bold […]
Starting Over – Roguelike Design part 8

In the last post, I talked about there being some special cases for armor, shield, and trinket generation. I think this only applies to armor and shields, but for this post, I’ve only finished the shield routine. So we’ll talk about that. Oh, and pretty icons. Armor Attributes When I […]
