Apparently, Electronic Arts is the worst company in America, or something. Link below. While the cats were going crazy, dev news entails more Tic Tac Toe updates, along with minor puzzle game and secret game talk (i.e. not much about those two). The show finishes off with a trip down memory lane involving Tetris, with the pic I talked about below as well. Say, what’s with the garbled portion during the show?

The Consumerist: The Voters Have Spoken: EA Is Your Worst Company In America For 2012!

Working hard at work since this week brings Good Friday, and I have to be done with everything on Thursday. I talk about the kids going to their doctor appointments today and me getting one little thing done dev-wise. Shawn has gotten some more graphics done for the game he is designing, however. The fact that Mark Hamill talked about NES on Twitter some months ago is brought up. The Twitter post in question is embedded below. Also, general wonderings about the new Ninja Gaiden 3 getting bad reviews.

@NathanHamill JAWS & LITTLE MERMAID- the only 2 games I ever beat! Sad, but true. Actually, pretty darn funny!

Feeling like Netflix gets a bum rap from some people, I talk about some of the good stuff available on it that I like to watch. A few items of dev stuff for Tic Tac Toe gets mentioned. To finish off the podcast, the Google Maps Dragon Warrior look is brought up. It looks like it is no longer active, unfortunately. However, I dug up the pic of my house in street mode, and it can be seen below.

The DogCast comes back once again! Thanks to everyone and the kind words while Gavin was in the hospital. That is talked about briefly, as well as what I did while I was also sick. Tic Tac Toe for the 3-in-1 2p Pak is mentioned along with the music for it, and two other Sly Dog Studios projects that are in the works as well. John from Nessylum Games released a demo for Assimilate, which I urge everyone to check out. Link below. A new segment called “Tip” of the Day makes its first showing!

Well, there will be no DogCast tonight, because there is a lot going on around here. My son Gavin is in the hospital for reasons that are not yet known. He tested negative for having RSV, and also negative for having the flu. We’re still not sure what is causing his heavy breathing and wheezing, but I’m sure the doctors will figure it out. Carle is a pretty good place, for a hospital, anyway.

I did get a few things done today, but not enough to warrant a full podcast. When he gets out of the hospital, things should be back to normal. That could be tomorrow or the next day. The timing of everything seems to suck right now, doesn’t it? I get sick, no podcast, now our youngest kid is sick, and there isn’t much time. We’ll get it figured out eventually though.

Tomorrow might work out!

The biggest part of being sick is fully over, though my youngest seems to have gotten sick now. I talk about !Clik! being done on the 3-in-1 2p Pak, and touch on some of the key points in the video that was uploaded. Tic Tac Toe is the next one being worked on, and where it is at right now is discussed. A project that I wanted to work on for my wife got underway, preliminarily yesterday, but the big part of design started today. Lastly, a Minecraft video of awesomeness is brought up. You can see the video in the link below.

Well, !Clik! is now completely finished for the 3-in-1 2p Pak! There is one more day without the DogCast, unfortunately. I’m still pretty dern sick. Sweating it out though, so stay tuned! Since I can’t do a podcast for today, here is a video to keep you somewhat up-to-date. It first shows the original version of the game, and what it is like now. Very similar, but much better. I’ll discuss this on the next show:
