Master of Magic.NET Project
This is the project site for my Master of Magic.NET project. The goal of the project is to recreate an old classic Master of Magic using the .NET framework and C#. The reason for doing so is so that I have a codebase from which to extend and breath new life into.

LEGO Mindstorms NXT
I'm a big fan of Lego's and their line of robotics kits (RCX & NXT), and having recently purchased their latest kit, the NXT, I will likely be expending all kinds of time building and programming all sorts of interesting robots.

Neverwinter Nights 2 Resources
This is a repository of Neverwinter Nights 2 information, tutorials, examples that I have created and made available for others.


Miscellaneous Fun Stuff

Outstanding Free PC Games

Dwarf Fortress

Easily one of the most innovative and well designed independent and free games I've ever come across, be forewarned this game is heavily addicting if you give it a chance. ASCII graphics aside, professional games would do well to follow suite with regards to the care, precision and detail that is going into this game. The game puts you in indirect control of a handful of dwarves who must manage to survive in the wilderness and found a new fortress within a mountain. You are responsible for designing your fortress and keeping your dwarves fed and watered, though this is no easy task. Above all... this is one of the few games where losing is just as fun as surviving.


Within a Deep Forest

A very slick, well designed and implemented platform game. Although to describe the gameplay like Mario would be true, it would be an understatement at best. This game is full of very original ideas and concepts, you play the role of a ball that can exist as many different compounds each granting various advantages and disadvantages, but first you must find them.


Knytt

This is a newer game from the maker of Within a Deep Forest and actually reuses much of the artwork from it. However we have a new set of gaming logic as your now a monkey and you need to jump and climb around in order to find pieces to a crashed UFO.


Narrative Game Fiction

The Forty-Three Thousand Adventures of Mr. Bojangles

This is a collection of unfinished fiction revolving around the world of Ultima 7 (Parts 1 & 2). After playing this games many times over, I needed to breath new life into the game. Through narrative storytelling and entering the mind of an alter ego, I was able to replay this great game as if I had just purchased it again. This is an extremely novel way of re-visiting those great old games, while coming up with something entertaining to read afterwards.
