Weekly Rewind for the Week of April 14th, 2024

Squirmies

It’s been an interesting week. It started with buying a number of Chinese knockoff Lego sets and building the Porche 911 TFCHNIC set. Yup, you read that right. It was a fun build, though there were a couple of times when there were pieces that needed to fit into mesh pipes…and it killed my fingers to try to push them inside. But I persevered and now just have the last few pages before completion. I’ll be posting a pic of it here later.

I also picked up a knock off Death Star, and with any luck will be getting a Princess Death Star to go with it. Yes, a Death Star filled with Disney Princesses.

I’ve also been making good progress on the The Ultimate Unreal Engine 2D Game Development Course on Udemy.

Here’s the April playlist!

Weekly Finds

I pull a lot of the items about gaming and movie news here from a number of sources: The Atari Age forums, Retro Indie News, Time Extension, IGN, Retro Hour podcast, Itch.io, Facebook, Twitter, etc. What shows up here will change weekly depending on what I happen to find in the wild. I try to include the original sources in the links.
