for those of you to lazy to read, my school system donated $41 million to some animal shelter and a rec center and now its out of money so it has to make some major budget cuts. This include pay reduction for teahers, getting rid of security gaurds in middle and high schools (sound like a good idea, not like angry hormone fulled teenagers would hurt eachother or anything), firing un-nessecary teachers and coaches along with their programs (My ighschools varsity sports teams are already gone and one of the most popular coaches in the school just got fired), and removal of transportation services to academies and gifted programs, along with all out of zone students.

Removal of transportation services to academies...

I go to the technology academy, ten miles from my home.

No one in my family can drive me, and sure I have a license but I don't have a car to drive myself, and the school is now refusing to bus me there.

Meanwhile they just bought a promethean board for every single classroom in every single school in virginia beach.

Along with Ipads for all the teachers.

Why...

Why...

Why...

HOW THE *CRAG* AM I SUSPOSED TO GET TO SCHOOL?! And I refuse to go back to that shitty gang-ridden highschool that I am zoned for, especially if they are cutting back on security gaurds, I will get *crag*ing stabbed or some shit in there.

its egoraptor in some shitty reality show oh god oh man

So then. I suspect the needle of Minecraft cuteness has swung way too far to the “d’aww” end of the meter with the introduction of tameable, breedable ocelots (which you can see emitting clouds of love-hearts in the video below.) This is a game with zombies and suicide-explosion beasts in! I demand more sinister threat. And I believe that it is only sensible, because horrors lurking outside our castles only make the cute, homely stuff cuter and more homely. Right, minerfolk?(more…)

We mentioned earlier that Tim Schafer would love to make a Pyschonauts 2, but can’t get the funding. Well, Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson spotted our story and suggested to Schafer that they should work together to make it happen. Multimillionaire Persson clearly has the funds to do this, and everyone in the world with their brain in the right place wants to see a sequel to one of the most joyful games of all time, so this is a thing that might actually happen.

Clearly at the moment this is a tweeted offer, not a signed contract, but it’s a massively exciting one. Tim, say yes!

The latest release from Nitrome is one of those games that I wish I’d discovered later in the day, because I’m going to spend the remaining hours until I’m released from the shackles that bind me to the keyboard wishing I was playing it. It’s called Rainbogeddon, which should really be enough to make you click here and play it. If you haven’t, know that it’s Pacman, Bomberman, Dig Dug and loads of other brilliant things all packed together into a browser window. Destructible mazes? Of course. Oodles and oodles of powerups? Definitely. A little too tiny for my dwindling eyesight to fully take in? Regrettably. Go and play it. Do it for me, because I can’t.

Awhile back, I recall that a good fraction of Digibutter was actually enthusiastic about 999, which is actually a recycling of the 2002 release Ever17; the two of them sharing the same writer. Yesterday I finished Coco’s path and conclude: GODLY SCIFI! Seriously, this is the best visual novel in existence, and its popularity and longevity stand to show: it was re-released six times in Japan, with a recent XBOX port. To describe the sheer epicenes of this work would indubitably lead to the spoiling of some plot, but I assure you, of all scientific explanations to the ending of a story, this one was by far the most intricate. p53 cancer gene modifications, telomerase, and then biological experiments that reach the furthest depths of bio uncanny valley are all elements of this game, with some time paradoxes infused into the ending. Sheer epicenes! Read it, not the Wiki summary!

Also, I should be more active on digi.

No smartphone is safe from cheap indie games (unless it's a Blackberry). Just as the Steam mobile app goes out of beta, allowing unfortunate impulse purchases from iOS or Android devices, the Humble Indie Bundle has announced its first Android release, available now.

Under the same "pay whatever, support charity" pricing scheme as previous Humble Bundles, the Humble Bundle for Android offers Android versions of Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Osmos, and Edge, with a bonus copy of World of Goo available to anyone who exceeds the average payment.

All of these games are cross-platform, so you get them on your Android phone and Windows, OSX, and Linux. That's a pretty appealing deal for the price of however much you end up paying.

think they'll *crag* it up or do shit right. I'm hoping they don't just copy paste xbla.

Tons of Revelai
