Chatter Of The Squirrel

Game: The Rainslick Precipice of Darkness episode 1

Now here’s a cool game. I’m so tempted to fork out the $20 to buy it.

Downloaded the demo, and played the first level, and it’s great fun.

It’s a simple Final Fantasy style RPG… 3 guys exploring around, meeting encounters and dispatching said encounters with knuckles, rake or tommy gun. There’s fun dumb & dumber style diaglogue. And no grinding.

The characters are from Penny Arcade. And the game is like reading one long comic strip. They meet quirky enemies like fruit juicing robots, hobos, mimes, clowns & barbershop quartets. The plot is… in a word… surreal. There’s a part where you fight mimes who are worshiping The Silent One, a Lovecraftian demi-god.

I’m just worried that the game will be too short, after I fork out the $20.

Movie: The Mysterious Stranger

This… is a seriously disturbing animation.

Disturbing, cos it’s too mature for young viewers.

I’ve never seen clay-mation this creepy.

Pay Per Post Requirements

Need to update some notes on my experiences with Pay Per Post.

There are some requirements each post has to meet before it can be approved. And the better I remember why things get rejected, the less work I will give to the poor guy who’s manually approving my posts.

1. Every sponsored post needs to be sandwiched between two un-sponsored post. And the unsponsored posts needs to be of reasonable length. Doesn’t matter if I’ve got 4 years worth of unsponsored post preceding, but if the immediate post preceding is  just a pic I wanted to link, that sponsored post is rejected.
2. Sponsored post should have a disclosure. Whether the sponsor says it needs to, or not. PPP wants it there.
3. Don’t link to anything else but the sponsor in the post. Can’t even cross-link to my own blog.
