Dravalanche

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

Welp, the game jam is over. It was fun (and stressful) while it lasted! I got to meet some talented guys and I had a great team…though, I’m still catching up on missed sleep. What the heck is Game Jam? It’s a contest to see who can make the best game in 72 hours. All attendees are split up into groups of 4. Our team was Team Penguin and comprised of a programmer (prettymuchbryce), a musician (realfaction), and 2 artists (myself and LDAF). Our project was pretty ambitious for a 72 hour game (not to mention with a boss battle) and we ran into plenty of problems, but we can at least say we finished Dravalanche considering there were a lot of drop outs in the contest. I’ve got my money set on Bear Bound winning this game jam. :) I’m considering posting up my assets for anyone who wants to play around with a digging-type game since a lot of the stuff I made was never used and most of it was experimental.

I’ll be posting Sergio ‘n Bear sometime within the month…as soon as Tomar finishes up some of the action script and we get the audio syncing down. We’ve got a couple trips planned this month, appointments, games, movies…My neighbor is officially moving down south and I might be helping her out with that. It’s so sad saying goodbye but I hope I get to see her frequently. A lot is happening in 2011 already and it’s just started.

Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!

Friday Cook-Off ~ Turkey Sandwich

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

This weeks cook-off was ‘who could cook the best Turkey Sandwich.’

Q. What the heck is the cook-off?

A. Just to clue you all in, my neighbor, Mandy, and I have started a nice cooking contest to see who can cook the best “insert dish here” or get creative with a single ingredient. It’s really nice getting everyone together in one place and sharing what we’ve made. Sometimes we can’t make it every week but we try! We don’t play for prizes, just bragging rights. :)

So anyways, my plan of attack was this new sandwich I’ve been getting addicted to…I don’t have any name for it but my roommate got me hooked on baby spinach leaves. I just dump those in all my sandwiches now but the one I made tonight was a combination of avocado, baby spinach leaves, shaved turkey breastspicy mayo, four cheese mix, between two pieces of freshly baked and sliced challah bread. Having it on challah was something pretty new for me…but I took the risk.

I was blown out of the water with Mandy’s panini – sliced turkey, procuitto, pesto, mozzerella, and roasted bell pepper grilled between mini ciabatta bread slices. It was absolutely amazing and even I admitted that this greasy delight was a much better sandwich even though they were both very different. It tasted a lot like pizza, oddly. I guess it was the cheese and spices. Hands down, Mandy won this round.
