So, if you are a total d0rk (and I know some of you are), and you will be in San Francisco on March 8th, 2007, head down to the DNA Lounge for the Game Developer Conference’s ULTIMATE Game Audio Party. 415 Sound Covenant with Kurt Harland Larson (of InSoc) and his brother Kristoffer Larson, should be especially fun to watch. When Kurt told me about the show it was still up in the air, and now that it’s all set to go he asked me if I would spread the word around the interwebs about how totally sweet this show will be. So I am!
I’m really excited about this. I’ve never seen Kurt perform live, and he seems pretty stoked about the show, so it should be good. Spread the word, gamers :)

A couple months ago, I bought a GameBoy Advance SP. I’d played games on Ian’s a few times and wanted my own. So I headed down to GameStop and picked up a new GBA-SP in “Gunmetal” – a sexy charcoal colour – and a couple of games (Final Fantasy IV and Legend of Zelda: Four Swords).
Mo, a friend of Ian’s and mine, stopped by the house and dropped off two copies of Super Collapse II for the GBA-SP – one for Ian, and one for me. He actually worked on the game, so he was able to score us each a copy of it – for free!
I’ve been hooked ever since. While FF4 and Zelda are great games, they can be a bit involved at times, not so good if you’ve just got some time to kill riding in the car or waiting or at the bus stop. That’s where a game like Super Collapse II reigns supreme. It’s an awesome puzzle game that makes long bus rides, car trips, and boring periods at work FLY by. And the longer you play, the further you go, the harder it gets, so it’s always fun. If you’re a fan of puzzle games, I highly recommend it.
I’m just not sure whether I should thank Mo for snagging me a copy of the game, or tell him it’s his fault I’ve lost the ability to be productive when I’m within 5 feet of my GBA – the urge to play Super Collapse is just too strong!
