Euflorium - more than just Eufloria →
I’ve updated the Eufloria forum to support more of our games. I also gave it a new home at the Euflorium domain.
Argo - Ben Affleck Done Good
I’m on the come down one gets after working all nighters and doing a big release.
I don’t quite know what to do with myself yet am also still knackered. So today I was invited to the local arthouse cinema to watch Argo, and what a great film that was.
Ben Affleck, talented director? I think so, yes. The film felt a little contrived at the end but the pacing was good, as was the...

East Midlands Trains Ticket Farce
Ah the UK train system. Surely the most expensive and complicated ticketing system in Western Europe, if not farther afield.
Last Wednesday I discovered that my £67.50 Sheffield - St Pancras return ticket wouldn’t actually let me travel at any useful times. I say discovered because it was not what I was told, which had been that I was ok after 10am when I’d enquired a few days...

Bahrain, F1 and Journalism →
Motorsport journalist Joe Saward is, in my opinion, one of the finest sports writers to be found. In recent months, he’s been blogging regularly about Formula 1’s Bahrain Grand Prix, discussing the politics surrounding the event.
His most recent blog entry, coming post event, is a lengthy opinion piece where he essentially changes his opinion about what is going on in Bahrain....

New Zealand Game Developer Conference 2012 →
I found out this week that I’m in New Zealand while the NZGDA are holding their 2012 Game Developer Conference. All being well I’ll head up to Auckland to participate in some form.
I’m no expert on the industry here but it appears that casual games have caused the rise of a few companies here. I’ll be interested to find out more about local developers and to meet students...

I've moved (to Tumblr)
On the grounds that I’ve been absolutely rubbish at updating my blog, I’ve moved to tumblr. I’ve used this for a couple of other sites and found it quicker to use than Wordpress so, as an experiment, I’ve shifted newretro.org over here.
