sprites & bites

At 1200 Microsoft Points this is one hell of an expensive game. Braid is a side scrolling platformer with flavours of Super Mario and Donkey Kong to mention just a few. But Braid is not a normal platformer. It has a beautiful art direction and a soothing soundtrack to go with it.

That is when the beauty ends. I am finding the puzzles really frustrating. Naturally they are easy early on, but as the game progresses it seems to go way uphill in the difficulty stakes and way too fast. I have got to a point now where I cannot be bothered to continue it because I simply do not have the logical part of my brain active at the moment.

Maybe I should just listen to the music

Sprites & Bites is coming up to 2 years old and I don’t have the will to blog anymore. I am feeling very frustrated about where to go from now. After a few security scares with wordpress and with Google reporting my site as infected - it is clean, but they have yet to remove the bad flag on my domain this may be the straw that breaks the camels back.

The other problem is writers block. I just do not know what to write about anymore and am feeling blogged-out, for want of a better term.

This is not a goodbye, but more of a cry for help. If anyone has any ideas on how to freshen up the site and to motivate me, then please let me know.
