Shorts and Sweets
This month, I've been on a gamer spiral, forgetting all obligations and duties other than to play games and survive to play more games. Games such as Kung Fu, Tetris, Streets of Rage, Super Mario Bros 3, Goonies 2, Altered Beast, and Goodboy Galaxy have all really struck a chord with me. Especially Goodboy Galaxy! It's a wonderful, action, puzzle, adventure platformer with 1000% personality! its vibrant colours, amazing music and art style have captured my heart and imagination! The boss levels are challenging, epic and fun! The puzzles have me using my (already super large and intelligent) brain! The characters have me laughing out loud! The cassettes make me want to scream with frustration! It's the best! Playing video games without the help of the thousands of useful walkthroughs and let's plays is so much more fun for me. I solve the puzzles, or I don't and am stuck!
Upon reading Austin Kleon's books and visiting his website (Austin Kleon is a writer who draws. ), I've been inspired and creatively revitalised with his theories on creativity. "You can't find your voice if you don't use it" - Austin Kleon (2014). Having a place to share my work or things I'm doing in the hope of making someone smile or share something fun is what I'd like to do here. Thank you very much for reading!
