Better late than never, but the upcoming game Vessel from Strange Loop Games looks beautiful. The fluid physics is enough to warrant a look. This is exactly the kind of game that I would only ever want to play on a 2D plain. Thanks to this and Pixel Junk Shooter I now demand fluid physics in all my games.

A typical exchange at my place this week:
‘I can’t wait till you finish that game’
‘Eh Bambino? Itsa fantastico!’
‘Your accent is not Benne’
‘Frutata pesto taglietelle’
‘Shut up...’
‘Bella! I’ma ...’
‘Now.’
So now that I’ve finished Assassin’s Creed 2, and I can finally open my mouth without sounding like an advert for microwavable pizza, I think it's time to reflect on my time in the 15th century. Some spoilers incoming.

Sofari.net has been parked here for a while now nothing happening. This is especially annoying seeing as I paid for this thing. Unfortunately little things like travel, a worrying economic climate and that ‘life’ thing had other ideas. More on my obligatory 'hello world' post after the jump...

The man above is Michael Atkinson. South Australian Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Veterans' Affairs, and Minister for Multicultural Affairs.
According to the oracle that is wikipedia:
Atkinson is responsible for maintaining Australia's status as the only Western country without a "Mature" rating for video games, despite overwhelming demand for such a rating. Due to this, Atkinson is often at the receiving end of criticism from the international Video Gaming community. Other related consequences include the sale of what are rated "Mature" games in other countries to minors and repeated inconsistent decisions from the OFLC who are "stuck between a rock and a hard place". He has withdrawn his support for a discussion paper and public consultation on the subject of an "R18+" rating, although the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General still has this issue on its agenda, it is improbable that there will be unanimity which will result in introduction of the rating being almost impossible.
This site is coming soon, but rather than waiting around for something exciting to happen, go here.
