You hear about the skeleton? Yeah, everyone within a hundred miles knows whos it is, there simply isn’t anything else it can be. My cousin had her doubts, but by the time they put the skull back together she was convinced, funny how those enormous eyes are still affecting people ey? The bones are preserved awful, just sitting on the forest floor for god knows how long, letting nature reclaim him, or maybe just claim him. Well the thing is they’re not sure, could've been 6 months, could've been the full 60 years since last we saw him, before they found him nobody had been in those boonies for a century at least.

No, they still can’t figure out what did the Mothman in, could've been exposure, illness, malnutrition... Me? I like to think it was old age. In a way I’m happy for him, better to live and die like an animal than live and die in a cage, but like hell we’ll ever get his opinion on that. They’re talking about doing one last massive search in that area, either trying to find more of his kind or saying the skeletons a fake, I don’t particularly believe either of those, but I still can’t say I won’t join in.

High enough right now that I read the tags and STILL did a news search for mothman, just to be safe.

BreakTime is done! It's an implementation of Breakout (aka Brick Breaker) that runs inside Google Calendar. Your meetings are the bricks, and when the game ends it asks you whether you'd actually like to decline anything that you shattered.

This was way more work than I originally planned for, but that's ok. It was a lot of fun. The chrome extension is here and I blogged in detail about my process for the game here.

One thing I really liked about making this is that it let me embed a game inside something else in a way that made sense. I loved putting Flappy Bird inside MacOS finder but the only reason I chose Flappy Bird there is because it fit the constraints of Finder. Whereas of course you want to shatter your meetings, come on.

That's it for now. I'll be at GDC for all of next week (I'm speaking at the experimental games workshop on Friday!) - if anyone is reading this and wants to meet up while I'm there please let me know :)

Haha feel like screaming just keep it together for 24 more minutes you can have a meltdown on personal time
