Various writing on games (console, web, casual, board…) and the playing of games. Warning: may contain opinions.

I should be so flukey

Oh dear. A quite addictive Pool game.

I will fully admit that I’m rubbish at pool at the best of times. At this online version of fancy pool (collecting coins and whatnot) I’m slightly better than normal, but I still can’t get past the blasted ninth level. Grrr.

Jump!

SaltaCol: Half frog, half snail, totally engaging (and not a little frustrating, to boot). In Spanish, but not difficult to figure out.

Point and click

Oriel’s Adventure: Another challenging game from the makers of Mr Snoozleberg.

Screwing up can be a good thing

The plane! The plane! This fiendish and well-designed game is a load of toss.

My spidey-sense is tingling

Spiderman is a swinger. We have the proof.

Art attack

Pac-Mondrian. Where art and computer culture collide.

Pipsoh!

This game is practically identical to cacho, as played by millions of Bolivians (and me) on little orange-crate tables outside bars across the country.

It’s quite addictive, once you get your head round it.

Fat Plumber Ahoy

Art for anyone who has played a little too much Mario in their time.

Like, er, me.

Flyaway

Strangely therapeutic. [via]

The End

So that’s what we were missing. SNES game endings, for those of us too lame to beat the final boss.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
