I don't know if it's interesting, but my game design/specification document is now 260 pages long.

It's my third and final revision of it.

After that, it's 100% coding and GUI design.

What kind of game?

Fantasy TBS, playable on your web browser.

If the initial reception is good, I'll expand the client-side support to cell phone browsers, Flash and eventually cell phone apps as well as improve the visuals and expand on the game mechanics.

Here's a cautionary tale about PC maintenance. It happened to me in April and I thought it was amusing/interesting enough to warrant at least post here.

I noticed my PC developed a new bad habit: when I restarted it (since my reset button doesn't work, I can only power the machine off and then after a bit back on), it started beeping and halting the boot-up process, stating that if I go ahead with booting up the PC, it can lead to harm. In such cases, I had to wait some time (about 15-20 minutes) before attempting turning the PC on again, which I could then always do without any problems whatsoever.
First, I paid no attention to it, thinking it was some overreaction, but when it had happened several times, I thought maybe the CPU is overheating. With that, I started monitoring my CPU's temperature, and it turned out it was rather high to begin with, and you can probably imagine my surprise when, after quitting from some game, I saw the max temperature was 92 C° (197 F°)! You could almost literally boil water with it.
I concluded that either my cooling paste evaporated or, since I hadn't cleaned the machine in more than half a year, the CPU accumulated a bit too much dust. Opening the case revealed it to be the latter case: not only my CPU fan's grating, but just about every piece of grating (and a number of fan blades) in the PC looked like they were coated in sediment.
Dusting the interior of the PC solved my CPU problem, now it operates at a steady 40-45 C° (104-113 F°).

So, people, don't put off cleaning your PC! I was fortunate I decided to give cleaning a chance before my CPU was severely damaged.

My sister just gave me a link to this.

/edit: I'd like to point out that the interesting part isn't that she gave me that link, but the link itself.

Oh yeah, it's friday night and people are coming back from local bars. I can hear them outside, cursing and yelling. Normal behaviour for finnish folk.

Can someone pick a number between 1 and 150? I have my games in a list, and will start playing the game you choose :)

126 :3

If I didn't already say..

I made some those years ago, it's some sort of music.

is that 126 or 42 ?

42 = Prince Of Persia Sands of Time
126 = Fallout 3 GOTY

That was "126" plus an excited catface ;). Well - what did I pick ?

EDIT: lolwut... Have fun with Fallout 3 ^^ !

These last few posts made me think of Mega Man 2 and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I know, I know, console games!

Back in my younger days, I only had a few games I would play and the ones I loved I played. A lot. Mega Man 2 was the first. I would boot it up (after breathing into the cartridge to "clean it" a few times, of course) and finish it in one sitting. Then I would repeat that process every day for a bit of my childhood.

One summer, when all my friends got to do their summer trips, I was stuck at home with A Link to the Past. Somehow I would start and finish it in a single day everyday for a large chunk of my summer.

Now I buy games on the whim for less than the cup of (pricey) latte I buy during my workdays and finish very few of them. I swear I spend more time thinking about what to play or reading forums and webpages about games then I do playing them. Having the ability, though, is quite exhilarating.

Where am I going with this post? No idea. Though I can tell you I cannot beat half the regular bosses in Mega Man 2 now. :'(

True. I lost a video card 2 cards back due to a small stock video card fan and also not dusting it until the fan clogged and broke on the card and made the card overheat alot until it broke down.
