Doomasayur

Doomasayur n. An old fossil from a hypothetical “Better Age.” Generally petrified of the future. Often with a heart of stone. No fun at parties.

Review – World of Goo
By Lester | May 21, 2013
The Good: The puzzles are challenging but fun. The graphics and story are professionally tongue-in-cheek. The physics feel right. There are lots of levels, divided into distinctly different parts of the goo world. Some parts of the world honestly made me chuckle.
Oh, and there’s a free trial version, if you don’t want to commit to a purchase up front.
The Bad: I honestly can’t think of a criticism.
The Ugly Summation: Highly recommended. 10 goo balls out of 10.

Great Works of Literature as Limericks: Frankenstein
By Lester | May 13, 2013
Obsessed with successes he’d had,
Frankenstein went nearly mad—
created a creature,
then hated its features,
and so became a deadbeat dad.

And the related Kickstarter project.
