Blast from the Past 4: The Neverhood
by MickM | 09-11-2008 | News 518 views
I used to rent some of my games at the local library and what I did, was go there every week and get a few cool games. One of those weeks, I happen to come across a game called The Neverhood, which looked really awesome. Back then, I was playing with klay myself so I thought I'd give it a shot. And it was amazing! The Neverhood is the perfect example of the old 90's adventures and how versatile they can be. Unlike your average Monkey Island, Neverhood took place in a world that was created outside the computer-world just…

This weekend was hectic. Fun, but a lot. And to resume it, it was a great experience and made some new friends, but I did miss my weekend a little. Last week I was invited by the project manager of the Dutch Game Garden to participate in the Gamejam this weekend which was basically a weekend full of quick brainstorming and concepting in the form of a contest. At first, I was affraid it was gonna be Camp Geek, because I hate the whole camp-atmosphere, but it turned out to be a really cool atmosphere. Nice people and nice work.…

When a train…

This week was slightly awfull due to the fact that that relative died last tuesday. In a way, it is for the best. That is what her family said. And that's true. She had been battling many things throughout her life and the last months were terrible. For me it was the first time someone close around me died. It was also the first time I saw a person dead in a coffin. While others described her to be nothing more than a body without a soul, somehow I felt different. I felt as if she was laying there without…

I hate it that when you get older, birthdays start to get less awesome than they were. No need for that to happen if you ask me. If it's not getting cooler by itself, then you should help it. This time, my birthday wasn't what it was when I was young, but it was so much more awesome. Where, last year, I got only 2 cards and a few phonecalls, this year people I haven't even spoken to in a few years congratulated me. How cool is that? And I wasn't gonna plan a party, because I didn't think people…
