Mosquito Romance and Why Won't It Melt in head all day!!

Great! Yeah, that one is stuck in my head today. I won't try to explain what fault you should find with it.

Also I love Mosquito Romance. Whatever you thought was jarring doesn't bother me.

This is fun stuff. The two you mentioned are great. I'll Be Acquitted is easy to love, with the stupid jokes. I also like Why Won't it Melt a lot. One has to wonder what is he trying to mail, and why doesn't he mind melting it.

I think your electronic music would make great hard levels of the Bit.Trip games.

oh wow "text me" is great.

That guitar is quite rude, I like it. Plus, these songs reminded me that 1) my eponymous hurricane is like top 5 in all possible death-and-destruction measuring categories (ha) and 2) I watched ~80% of possible Terminator movie-time in the last month. Excellent.

Also, you should continue your AAD streak with a SR&SR recording day - surely there are like a bajillion unrecorded songs at this point.

Good stuff--and yay for Pixies and Pavement references!

PS. I know I need to update the AAD page; my apologies to all of the contributors whose wares have been unnoted (having an album of my own to post usually gets me off my ass). But, um, the real point is the act of creation!

Sleeping bombs can be pushed around without exploding!

The intrinsic limits are very high (usually 2^32) for most things. But like level size I like to enforce limits because it is my opinion that more constraints usually lead to better puzzles. (I did change my mind and increase the total number of bots a few years ago, maybe at the same time I added bombs?) Here though the main issue is just that the code gets pretty complicated. Really it's more because of my choice to make sleepingness and bomb-timer value indicated with new bots than to have some kind of orthogonal properties for bots, which would have been smarter. Anyway, it would be totally doable, I don't know why I'm complaining about it...

How much design space is there for sleeping bombs on numbers other than 0? Certainly I'd imagine there would be some levels that put them to some use, just as I can imagine level concepts involving bombs that start ticking at 99. I doubt that justifies the extra space for them.

The most apparent use of sleeping bombs is to have the heart act as a C4 detonator that sets them all off immediately, and even just that one version of the element would go a long way.

What would that be... they wake up when the last heart is taken (and start counting down)? And wouldn't start burning from being pushed, right. Not a bad idea but the way bombs are implemented I'd need a lot of new sleeping bots (one for each timer value). Also the "sleeping" doesn't make much sense for bombs, but that's not really a good reason.

I put it in the list but like so many things, don't hold your breath. :)

Sleeping bombs.

Just an idea.

You will find it is more generous with its character limit.

@Austin it might be because you already have a major city named after you STOP BEING GREEDY

Hello -- so glad to know that we aren't the only ones with this -- found a mushroom w/black spore dust on our bathroom wall beside the glass enclosed shower. It grew overnight. I check everyday to see if there are more -- last night found some reddish-spongy stuff that may have been the beginning of another mushroom. This is gross. Going to call a mold expert to see what needs to be done. Pbviously some kind of water in the wall/floor

What? You should have one like every year!

I don't, oddly (have a hurricane named after me).

Here comes another one joining the crowd! My daughter came screaming from the bathroom that there's some kind of animal in our bathroom that looks like a mushroom! I ran upstairs and it really was a mushroom! My husband took a picture and pulled it out (didn't know that we were supposed to pour white vinegar on it first). I'm kinda worried now because I have several leaks in the house: kitchen sink, 2 bathrooms so I think this could now be growing throughout the house. Who do you call? A plumber or a cleaning company? Does homeowners insurance cover these major costs? How do you know whether its a mold issue?

Well, we dated for many years but split up when she moved away. Still good friends. I am 100% single so send all intriguing ladies my way!
