This thing uses Google Maps Street View to create a game where you try to guess where in the world you’ve been dropped. Then you get a score.
What It's Like to Try Out for Jeopardy!
Last week I got the chance to try out for Jeopardy, and it occurred to me that some of you might be at least a little interested in what goes on at an audition. Here is what happened to me! It is so, so many words. I’m sorry. Also, I’m dispensing with that exclamation point at the end of the show’s name right now. It makes everything look insane.
ERMAGERD!
Game Dev Tycoon – I got it two days ago and have played nothing since. IT IS AWESOME. Also, two dudes in their garage made it, so INDIE GAME.
Monaco
…has anyone played it? I feel like I’ve been hearing about it for ages, but I completely missed its release last week. It’s only out for PC now, but it’s coming for Mac and XBL. It seems like at least some of you would be into it – nifty throwback graphics, 4-player co-op, class-based, etc. I’m intrigued!
Global Coherence Monitoring System
I find this fascinating, and wondered what all you scrabblers think…
Music 2013
So we are a quarter way into this year and i think it has started really well.
These are some of my picks of the year, so far. Some you will know, some you may not.
The Other Brothers!
An iOS game I kickstarted (that failed to meet funding) that looks suuuper awesome just came out (despite the aforementioned failed funding).
TouchArcade Plays Star Command
They’ve finally sent out preview copies and submitted to the App store.
BioShock Infinite And The Future Of Gaming.
NPR’s onPoint discusses what is apparently the Citizen Kane of video games.
My Favorite Albums of 2012
My way, way overdue list. I wasn’t even going to do one this year considering just how little new music I listened to last year, but I’ve found myself repeatedly going back and referring to old lists and I figured I should put this here just for my own reference. So read on for my favorites from last year, and by all means, add your own.
Beisbol..or bejzbol..or baseball
The season is almost upon us and once again its time for us Scrabbled-ites to make our annual baseball predictions, or you can sit on the sidelines and laugh at our silly shenanigans as we explain how we are right and everyone else is wrong.
World Wide Maze.
Yeah, just… yeah. Wow. Not sure if this counts as Google’s first real game, but it’s super impressive.
Re-import, start fresh, or archive somehow
I’ve been debating something for a few weeks about how to handle old Scrabbled content once we move over to the new platform, which is steadily under way, and I’d appreciate your feedback. Read on for the details.
League of Legends
Soooo Trish, Paris, and I (and Ryan soon?) have been playing the hell out of this game League of Legends, which has been around for years but only just released a mac client. It’s sort of a Warcraft 3/Diablo 2 meets Team Fortress 2 style game, where you are on a team of 3 or five with a top-down point-and-click interface where you pick a guy who has 4 main abilities and duke it out with another team in a capture-the-flag style battle.
It’s…. Really…. REALLY…. good. You should check it out: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/
It’s a free game, which is nice, and they surprisingly do NOT beat you over the head with microtransactiony bullshit or punish you for not spending money.
If anyone’s interested, friend me. My char name is Blue Kalyx.
Top 10 Favorite Songs, 5 years later
Over at Bill’s Board, Bill brought up that it’d been five years since we last listed our favorite songs, and wondered how much the lists had changed, if any. So I ask the same of you guys.
Here’s the original thread: http://www.thescrabbled.com/posts/59060-Post-Your-1-Favorite-Songs-of-All-Time?page=1
What’s still there for you? What’s changed or different? Read on for the hyperbolic and overly colorful novella that is my list.
Cool shit you can buy .com offers nothing cool
What can I say? I drank four martinis and clicked next five times. Didn’t see one item worth having.
America's Test Kitchen rethinks the Buffalo Wing.
Better wings from an oven than in a deep frier? Yes please.
Crowdfunding
What are everyone’s thoughts on crowdfunding? The movie based on the TV show Veronica Mars has reached it’s goal of 2 million dollars in 8 hours. I donated, but that’s beside the point.

…so I don’t get another $850 auto repair bill.
I need to learn how to maintain a car better. The link below heads to a post on /r/auto, but I’m wondering if you guys have any advice as well.

I just read...
I just finished reading Kitchen Confidential, Ready Player One, Redshirts and The Hunger Game series. What is everyone else reading? Is there anything out there that is a must read?
What's your opinion of FTL?
Still waiting for Star Command to come out and looking for some other space management game to fill my time.
So, have you guys played FTL? What do you think?
Indie Games
So Netflix has a pretty good documentary called Indie Game: The Movie. I highly recommend it. It’s a pretty entertaining look at the lives of a few indie game developers as they go through the motions of developing and or releasing out their games.
The two games followed and sort of contrasted in the doc are Super Meat Boy and Fez, both of which I’d been aware of but never paid much attention to when they were released. After watching the doc, I finally went and bought both games and man, they are so good. So so good.
Russian Dashcam Supercut.
Russia has a traffic problem. Or more specifically, a shitty driver problem. Their solution? Dashcams and youtube.

You guys
I have finally started playing Left 4 Dead (2) on PC. I am basically awful, despite my rich history of playing the first one on the Ecks Boks Three Sixty a lot. I beseech you to be my Steam Fraaaaaand and help me get better at PC FPS games after a twelve year hiatus. On the Steamz, I am called “silentkit” and I am awful.

Hugs!

Big News
I just realised that a week from now The Scrabbled will be going international.
Well it will be allied with Manchester at least.
Been away from the Scrabbled for about 4 years... What'd I miss?!
Just wondering if you guys could summarize what’s been going on in the site during my hiatus… I’d hate to seem like a noob by not knowing any new lingo or whatever.
:D missed yallz!
