Episode 45: Preach!

       I've always been active in online communities that are different from my own. Since 2008, I've been a member of vgchartz.com, a website that tracks video game sales, and I participated in the forum discussions often. So I ended up speaking with lots of people from all over the world, with a wide range of opinions and cultures. But in the last year, ever since I started a podcast with my friends, I've been interacting with people from all over the world not by text, but by voice. We usually have group Skype voice calls, and occasionally, we have full video calls.

Episode 43: Divide and Conquer

It's been over a year since I posted anything on this blog. Did I give up blogging? No. Did I abandon any of the projects I've talked about on this blog before? No. Did I take up even more projects? Yes. This blog was a very convoluted place because I used to post everything from my game development work to Bible studies and even diary-like entries on my personal life. Now that I'm doing even more things, I've decided to have each of them on a different blog or website. Weirdest Best Friend will now contain posts about my personal misadventures and my view on things, so if you want to know where you can read about the video games I'm making, the rhema I've uncovered or simply listen to the podcast I started with some friends, read the rest of this post.

Yes, I finally founded my game studio

Episode 42: The Peaceful Majority

I found this article that was written in 2007 by Paul E. Marek. It makes two very good points I think everyone should get, so I'm posting the entire article verbatim. 

Episode 41: The Transition

Hello people! If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll have noticed by now that I'm quite eclectic when it comes to hobbies, and I often try my hands at new things to broaden my skill set. Less than two weeks ago, I posted the first trailer for my game on YouTube. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out and leave me a comment. Now, I'm posting a different kind of video: an advert I worked on with some friends as our entry for a competition: Unilever Idea Trophy 2014.

Episode 40: Project Monkey's First Trailer

    Hi guys! So I've been working on my first video game since April 2012, so it's been a bit over two years now. Twenty six months to be precise. All this time, I've been posting small updates and screenshots, but I've never actually posted a trailer for the game. I decided to finally do so, so without further ado, here's the trailer. You can read more details further down in this post.

Episode 39: E3 2014

    So the Electronics Entertainment Expo (world's biggest annual video game press conference) held earlier this week, and as an aspiring game developer, that has been the highlight of my month (not the world cup). I'll post my thoughts on everything that was shown as soon as possible, but I have to finish watching the hours of video coverage the three day conference generated first, so if you're interested in games, watch this space!

Episode 38: E3 and the World Cup 2014

   Hey people! Since my last post, I decided to not post anything till the first week of June 2014. I had originally planned to make one post every weekend, but this week is such a big deal that I chose to save it all and rapid fire from here on. What's the big deal? Well, first of all, the World Cup in Brazil kicks off this week, but while I couldn't care less about soccer, one of my childhood friends helped make an android app to help you keep up with the World Cup (I'm so proud of her!), and secondly, the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2014 started this Monday! It's supposed to be a 3 day expo, but for gamers, it's more like a one week thing.
