New From Origina1Penguin
Another fairly uneventful week for my gaming. I'm pretty much grinding Flowerz on WP7 for achievements now. The fun has long past. I will definitely be buying Stacking when it comes out and I'll make time to play it even if I shouldn't. I've also made some major strides in my secret project and hopefully it will start developing much quicker once I have a good system going. As is, it's only about 6% done. And no, that number is not arbitrary.Speaking of stuff I'm working on, I am very disappointed with the turnout on my Alan Wake giveaway contest. If you missed it, it is in last week's GB Weekly Feed and the deadline is one week away. I don't care where you post it as long as I get it. I may have to reschedule when I post the blog so I get more views.
To all readers, I'm still open to suggestions for this weekly blog. If there is anything more you want to see then let me know. Or if there is something that you don't like, too.
