So I???m coming down off a major Minecraft bender ??? I built a huge monorail, which ate my entire stash of iron, so I had to go spelunking to build my stocks back up, and man, once you break into a large cavern, it???s just the entire day gone, you kno…

Okay, let???s do one more of these, so that I can feel like I accomplished something today before I spend the rest of the night screwing around in Minecraft single-player, which is possibly the most compelling yet utterly pointless activity ever. Ni…

All right, let???s try another one here, and hope I can avoid failure this time. Next on the list is Death Off the Cuff, by Simon Christiansen. Death Off the Cuff.zblorb is 311 kB in size, and was coded with Inform 7 (build 6E72). Spoilers begin aft…

Well, fuck. I was playing Pen and Paint, and I had a pretty good post going, because the implementation in this game is terrible, so I had a lot of different things to be snarky about. But naturally, Firefox crashed and I lost it all. I???m not goin…

All right, one more before I go to bed. Maybe two, if this one is quick. Heated is by Timothy Peers, written in Inform 7 (build 5Z71). heated.z8 weighs in at 233 kB. What???s the spoiler-break pic going to be? Any guesses?It???s an advertisement for a…

Phew. Well. All right. What we have here is an IF based on, so the ABOUT informs us, Mark 15:3-7 in the Bible. Are you ready for a thrill and a half? Because we all know how much fun games based on Sunday School lessons can be. I mean, I???m not an …

Next we have Mite, by Sara Dee. Mite.z5 weighs in at 188 kB (more than twice as much as The Chronicler), and was coded with Inform 6 ??? specifically 6.30. I think Chronicler was 6.21. Spoilers begin after what will probably turn out to be some horr…

Before I move on to the next IF Comp game, let???s have a quick break for an orange soda review. Because I have a thirst. A thirst for orange soda. This is Frostie Orange Soda ??? unusually succinct! It???s also a custom bottle, with the logo embossed a…

Okay, let???s do this. We???re starting with The Chronicler, by John Evans. chronicler0.z5 weighs in at 70 kB, and was written in Inform 6. As is standard for my reviews, this will not be a coherent review so much as a stream-of-consciousness ??? I???m le…

What? IF Comp again already? Man I did not have the slightest awareness of it. I am entirely unready for this. This is going to seriously cut into my Minecraft time, which has already seriously cut into my cross-stitch time. :( I guess, on the bri…
