Thoughts on Difficulty in Aeternum - http://wastedbrilliance.com/2012...
In my first development post on Aeternum I talk about memory usage and my strategies for avoiding the dreaded GC! http://wastedbrilliance.com/2012... #XNA
I am very annoyed with Microsoft right now, and their xna dev site redirect shenanigans. Destroyed EVERY search result link to the app hub.

Jetpack in a mystery box for cheap. Score! #Spelunky
Remembered a split second too late that taking the black market door, having stolen a jetpack, was a terrible idea. #spelunky
Weird. Spelunky is priced at -1 MS points for me. I can't afford the 4294967295 it wants to charge me to buy the game. :(
Consolodating hard drives. Means it's time to delete a few hundred GB of accrued junk!
My mouse is having trouble tracking on my desk now. Maybe I cleaned the surface too well...
I want to make a website where the login form's submit button reads "Sign In you Crazy Diamond"

WH40K: Dark Millennium was basically the only MMO I was looking forward to, and now it won't be. Makes me sad.
