I finally put up a video of my Android game, Aliens are Jerks. The sound isn’t that great, thanks to the fact that it records sound from the game using the external microphone – which results in really low quality audio recording. Ah well. Check it out in the Android store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atomicboy.aliensarejerks
Yesterday, I published my first smartphone app. It’s for Android phones only and it’s free (no payment, no ads). You can take a look here.
I’ve been using Chrome for a few years now. One thing about Chrome is that they display the eight most visited websites on the front page. That’s nice, but: I’d like more than eight websites, and I’d like to control which websites appear on the list. I finally a chrome-plugin that would let me do that. It’s called Speed Dial, and it’s free, so I’m happy.
(Note: There is one problem I have with Speed Dial though: you can’t remove an existing bookmark from your bookmark list. A workaround is to go into Chrome, go to extensions, turn off Speed Dial, edit your bookmarks, then turn Speed Dial back on.)
Mark Morgan put together a free hi-quality version of the soundtracks to Fallout 1 & 2:
Mark Morgan’s “Vault Archives” is remastered and mixed full-bandwidth soundtrack from old-classic “Fallout” games (24 tracks).
I think he copied the original music and recorded it in much higher quality. For anyone who spent way too much time playing the Fallout series (like I did), this will bring back some memories. You can download it here or here, and listen to a few tracks using the embedded player here.

Ha. What a funny game concept. Go and play Cream Wolf at Adult Swim.
A while ago, I happened to see the movie “Moon”, and recommended it. Well, it looks like they’ve put the first seven minutes of the movie up on the internet. You can watch it here, courtesy of the Independent Film Channel:
Pretty clever mashup. One word of advice: if you get caught at the very end of the level, you only need to build the outline.
Google recently added a new feature to search. They teamed-up with a few other companies to place music in their search results. As far as I can tell, they provide four full tracks and links where you can buy their music. Pretty cool stuff, and a good way to check-out music by bands if you don’t know much about them. Here’s an example:
A demo of Empires of Steel is now available. You can download it here.
Free Flash-based versions of Doom, Hexen, and Heretic. Play them here. (Hmm, reminds me of college.)
