This morning Adventure Gamers posted my early impressions of Jolly Rover, an independent game I saw at GDC. (Yes, GDC was three weeks ago. I blame the cold from hell.) Jolly Rover is a comedy game about pirates—scurvy dogs, the lot of ’em! It will be out for PC and Mac in June. As you […]

A week ago, I set myself the goal of finishing the inside of my Fairfield before my parents come to visit at the end of April, so my mom can help me landscape it and the little house can finally go on display. All I have left to do is hardwood floors in the kitchen […]
Ladderback chairs pictured in the Fairfield, with a Cassidy Creations kitchen table that I built from a kit. Last fall I was looking for half scale ladderback chairs to use in the kitchen of my puzzle house and, unable to find what I wanted, I ended up making my own. I looked at designs in […]

Back when I was complaining about my crappy experience […]
