I’m really pleased about this new release and it was an instant buy (and I also gifted it to my daughter). Dead Hungry Diner was produced by Derry-based Black Market Games.
It’s formatted for both iPhone and iPad and is a mere £1.49.
Dead Hungry Diner previously was available on the PC and received many accolades for being a beautifully crafted time-management game. You can see the critical reception here.
The rarest of these specialists, he says, is an authentic genius — a person capable of having seemingly good ideas not in general circulation. “A genius working alone,” he says, “is invariably ignored as a lunatic.”
The second sort of specialist is a lot easier to find: a highly intelligent citizen in good standing in his or her community, who understands and admires the fresh ideas of the genius, and who testifies that the genius is far from mad. “A person like this working alone,” says Slazinger, “can only yearn loud for changes, but fail to say what their shapes should be.”
The third sort of specialist is a person who can explain everything, no matter how complicated, to the satisfaction of most people, no matter how stupid or pigheaded they may be. “He will say almost anything in order to be interesting and exciting,” says Slazinger. “Working alone, depending solely on his own shallow ideas, he would be regarded as being as full of shit as a Christmas turkey.”
I know some of these people. And if they could be convinced to work together, it could change the face of our country. Chances are, you know some of them too.
Steve Gaynor posted this: It’s from Cybepunk. A tabletop RPG published in 1988. In many ways I’m glad it didn’t turn out this way (unfeasibly attractive combat experts voluntarily slicing off their own limbs and replacing them with chrome counterparts). I can only imagine what today’s Z list reality TV stars would be doing if [...]
It is a great nuisance. I can’t find anyone else to talk to. I’m so full of interesting information, I feel like the latest edition of something or other. Well, after some consideration… so much to do, there’s only one thing to be done. There comes a time in every son’s life when he must, [...]
I blogged about this before. It’s standard practice for games developers to pay arms manufacturers for their gun likenesses in games. Latest headline? From eurogamer: EA refuses to licence guns and war paraphernalia its action games this year I wonder how this will turn out?
Brady Cline: Most adults can’t imagine typing anything more than a few words at a time on a virtual keyboard, but with practice, is it really any worse than a traditional keyboard? After getting several requests from teachers to buy keyboards for our iPad 1:1 program, I decided to do a little research project with [...]
Graham Scobie produced the results of a survey. actual survey: http://t.co/3hNEwGD5wY Youth survey also worth a look: http://t.co/5yXdqbyOQD 45% of people in Northern Ireland do not identify as ‘unionist’ or ‘nationalist’. And of those who do, I wonder how many are ‘staunch’ in their position when presented with an option not rooted in fear, uncertainty [...]
For the last couple of years I’ve been listening to Denis Stewart talk about Civic Conversations. Last summer I got to take part in one (in Riddell Hall) and again earlier this year (in the Crescent Arts Centre). This time, it’s in the MAC. A further gathering of citizens in this place to continue with [...]
