Yeah Pat Benetar!!! Yeah Celsius!!! Yeah Games!!! Yeah !!!!!!!

I just had my intense high caffeine drink and Pat Benetar's We Belong Together is playing in the background, needless to say, I am ready to solve some problems!!!!  Woot woot (arg I hated myself  mid woot, but I'm not deleting, nope must move forward!!!) If you are getting annoyed with the !!!, please write to Celsius (the makers of my intense Caffeine drink) or better yet leave a comment, it's been oh so long since gameguy's reassuring message.

So many ideas are qwirling around in my head, hope I can make these connect!!!

Michael Douglas in the Game

Amazing Michigania Adventure (wonderfully designed game with less than wonderful results to be discussed next week, spoiler alert there were riddles, gnomes and balloons!)

When I was in the Peace Corps and I went to the main island, I would always stop in the room I called the Fun Room.  It was like a library, ah the feeling was the best.  The shelves were lined with worn wonderful books.  On top of shelves were games and puzzles.  There was a table where people would leave stuff they didn't need anymore.  I would fill up a box and be so excited with the so much possibility.

I have the same feelings when I think about the games that can be created.  The problem is it is all a lot of potential energy, I have fuzzy images and feelings of what can be designed.   I need to start transforming it into Kinectic.   Visualizing and clarifying these ideas into tangible plans and products. 

I've been making attempts at producing and I will continue these efforts.  John Wooten believed each day if you work on getting just a little better eventually you'll be a great deal better.  All about the residuals. 

Eeks I apologize for the rambling nature of this blog! I apologize even more for the fact that there will be no leg logger (kind of thinking leg logger is played, so played).  I'm a bit worried that this is reminding me of the fried egg commercial showing brain on drugs.  I did see a picture of a spider web made by a spider on caffeine, not good.  Hope caffeine's detrimental effects are just on web-making and not blog writing, but have a feeling that might not be the case)

Woot Woot Indeed! Also We Could All Use a Gandalf + Game Center Jibber Jabber

Okay so I get somewhat annoyed when people say woot woot.  But that has changed.  Today when I checked my google adsense account and saw I not only had $.01 in earnings yesterday, but an all time total of $5.54.   I too said woot woot.  Now I know why others say it, you feel it, you just feel it.

Thanks audience! and keep clicking, yeah you need a Golds Metal Detector or maybe you should check into furthering your education through the University of Pheonix (side note look into getting awesome ads on blog site)

So game progress.... We are planning on using Game Center (it seems like almost all gaming apps are using Game Center now).

Quantifying/clarifying what exactly we need to keep track of.


Arrrrrggg of course so much more to think about.  I am seeing a reoccuring pattern.  I'm a surface scratcher, but not a digger...

Latest leg logger, Lame Superbowl Dorito Commercial, Why Geo Popper wont be Playcadia's never published manuscript...

Miss me?  Was the break similar to Jon Stewart's ridiculously long stints, where one excitedly  checks Hulu each day, eagerly anticipating his return or has this blog been forgotten about entirely like a mediocre super bowl commercial (I'm looking at you Doritos).  Hope its the former, ie I hope you were excited for the return of the blog (for those who like myself have a heck of a time with the former/latter)

So my life's story has been rearing its middle of the road mentality in yet again.  I'm  in for the exciting 80 percent but that last finishing/polishing touches are killer.  Uggghhhhhh.

Luckily, we have one team member who doesn't go chasing each bright butterfly fluttering by.    When I began telling him about the next biggest game (it is going to be aaaawwwessoommme), he put his foot down and said we have to finish this one.  Once again uggghhhhh/

His advice along with the serendipitous reading of Mindset (awesome book about continuous ability of mind to grow if you have a growth/learning mindset and dedicate time to whatever it is you want to learn), is what is going to get Geo Popper in stores very soon.
