The Breakdown Of My Creative Web Presence

It’s been a long time.

Since a lot of things. Like blogging. Like knowing what is going on with my web presence. Like caring about it all.

What galvanised me was that my sites, all of them hosted in one place, started getting Google offside.

“Huh? What buffoonery is this?” I would ask myself as the emails flooded in.

1. Introduction (Clarion & A Game Database)

September 3, 2008

A Computer Game is Business Software. A Computer Game is a system provided for the solving of a problem and the filling of a need. Okay.

New Patch on Old Garments?

June 7, 2006

Two rather popular games (the franchises being very popular), Oblivion and Heroes 5 just had their first patches released.

States :: Journal #004

February 27, 2006

Not sure about these titles. They’re getting a little too generic for me. Changed the format a little. Anyway.
