Looks like Beat Me Up won't be coming to MySpace:

"After looking at your app, we cannot apporove it based on the graphic content. There is blood imagery and the object of your app is to impale the game character."

I guess the folks at MySpace don't much care that the game is already on Facebook. Maybe eventually they'll change their mind.

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seat and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I cant sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
Youre so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think that I know something you dont know
What do you want from me
If I dont promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you
Im>>>

Today's ridiculous search phrase that somehow got to my website:
the worst page ever created

That is all.

Looks like someone managed to get their hands on a picture of me at the beach in my Loopt shirt and post it to the Loopt blog.

After a major pain in the ass change to get OpenSocial support to work, yesterday I released version 1.1 of Torture Me. The game itself isn't really different aside from some minor bugfixes but the backend and database setup has changed a lot. Compensating for things like a Myspace user playing on a Facebook user's level were much harder than I originally thought.
In other news, Torture Me has attracted over 700 users so far! I'm really excited so many people are playing it.

Version 1 of Torture Me has now officially been released. I never thought I would get to this point, but somehow I managed to complete learn Actionscript 3, Flex 2, the Facebook and Kongregate APIs and complete an entire Flash game all in my spare time outside of work. Whew.... time for a break.

It's that time again, time for a new artcle. This time it's on working with XML in Actionscript 3. This tutorial gives examples on how to download, upload, read and manipulate XML in Actionscript code. Hope you enjoy!

I seemed to have disappeared into the shadows yet again recently. This was partly due to a really tight schedule at work but also from me obsessing over my avant-garde game 'Torture Me'. I've always been curious about pushing the limits of technology and game theory although I've been bound by the same limits as everyone else: money and time. This whole website, all of my code and games have been the product of little pieces of spare time after work. Maybe one day I will be free of these limits to dabble in the mystical art of 'game' to my content. For the time being, I'll be making the b>>>

My Torture Me game has finally been accepted into the Facebook application directory! Torture Me gained 130 users in the first day and a whole new list of high scores. Someone actually managed to get over 13 million points. I can't even do that myself in my own game! I plan on releasing an update to the game as well as add compatibility with Kongregate in the very near future. In the mea>>>

My new game Torture Me has eaten up a LOT of my time lately but I can safely say that it is in a stable form now. I've designed this game a little different than conventional games. The game is little more than a physics engine out of the box and relies heavily on user created content and network effects to distribute itself. In essence, Torture Me is sort of like Myspace put inside a physics sim game. I've designed the game with the intent to be a generalized web widget so that anyone anywhere can integrate it into their website>>>
