Great Gaming podcasts

The new job is eating up all my spare time!  But I'm in Kendall square, which is nice.  It's taking me an hour and a half to go 5.5 miles on public transportation.  Parking a car in Kendall is simply out of the question due to the expense.  On the other hand I have plenty of time to listen to fantastic podcasts on the commute.  Here are few great gaming podcasts which you may or many not be paying attention to.

Another look at Towns

This past year has been pretty busy for me; unemployment, employment that has caused me to close the blog, the job search.  It means that I haven't been following games over this past year.  It is nice to see that Towns is still being worked on, and that it's still improving.  If you like Minecraft and or Dwarf Fortress this is a game to keep your eyes on!

Status update

My experience of job hunting has been true to the old adage "Finding work is a full time job."  My dream of game design does not seem to be turning into a career in game design.  But you know what, that's not a terrible thing.  Perhaps 'hobby game design' would be better for me.  Or maybe even just 'gamer with inside knowledge'.  Besides Financial Services pays way better and helping people with their financial troubles is really rewarding.

So if you know anyone looking for a Fund Accountant, Credit Analyst, Underwriter, of Customer Service Representative let me know.  Actually I'll take just about anything entry level in financial services at this point. Probably not sales (unless it has salary plus commission).  Got to update my worker bee resume on the Zorts page.

At some point I do want to have enough time to be able to blog more.  Thank you all for hanging with me (all 30 of you).  And my G+ followers (of which there seem to be many more).

Diablo III vs Torchlight

I have to admit, I have not played Diablo III 1.04  It just hasn't interested me since realizing there are some fundamental breaches of verisimilitude.  Torchlight 2 is available for pre-order on Steam and to my surprise it came with a free copy of Torchlight.  Oh, good!  I had lost my copy a while ago, and needed to buy it again.
