Thanks John, thanks alot. I have just spent the last month beating all the difficulty levels of Desktop TD. Finally, FINALLY I was ready to walk away from it, and you go and give us links to two version of the game.

John, I am too weak to not play them. You have cost me countless hours of alt-tabbing and looking over my shoulder in the office.

Thanks alot John.

Got really hooked on the 100-rounder earlier in the year (those games clock in at 40 mins a a pop-especially with my skills)-it ended up just eating my life.

I'm two months clean-but will always be an addict.

Thanks, John. I’m going to be fired for this.

Luckily all my favorite games are in the living room on Xbox 360 and Wii so, while I do occasionally blow off work for the sake of play, at least both things aren't held within the same machine.

My problem is the internet. I go on to look up whether it's "knick-knack" or just "knick knack" and a half-hour later I'm reading the complete history of Sonic the Hedgehog or some such nonsense.

WoW problem? I don’t have a WoW problem.

I am battling my own addiction to the ultimate provider of timewasting and totally addictive games: it’s called Nintendo Wii! I fear I’ll have to destroy the bloody machine if I ever want to get any work done! :)

Wow, when two worlds collide! I read this blog regularly, it’s currently helping me out while I participate in Script Frenzy, and now I see Vector TD on the home page. I work at the company that runs Candystand and I was watching over the shoulder of the guy who worked on the graphics for this. Feels like a major spooky coincidence for some reason.

Does anybody remember Dungeon Keeper by Bullfrog about 10 years ago? Same sort of thing, defending your dungeon (with traps heh heh heh). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Keeper

Video games do not tempt me. Maybe it is the estrogen.

I found myself losing hours upon hours playing Desktop TD. It was driving me crazy to get a high score. Then I started reading the forums about "juggling" maps...

I'm thinking about switching to heroin.

Miguel (#2):

Wildly off-topic, but I here's the scoop on Tonight, He Comes. It's a great script with great people involved -- a lot of 600-pound gorillas, but really smart and gentlemanly gorillas. I was surprised and impressed.

I just helped out for a few weeks. It's going to be amazing, but that's honestly not due to me. At this point, I'm just a fan, eager to see it.
