Tim Schafer recommends TV when procrastinating. And doing the dishes, because that’s useful. Walk around aimlessly and get a little exercise. Stare at the ceiling. That looks really thoughtful to others.

(I’ve been re-listening to his talk on characters, available at Gamasutra.)

Whoa! ComradeNarf! Seems like all my favourite internet buddies from back in the SCRAMM days keep finding their way to this website. Cool.

Regarding the pedestrians, yes, it is true that not many pedestrians are innocent; however, given my luck with driving, it is very likely that the ones I’d end up killing would be the ones who are, in fact, innocent.

Also, I am now very, very curious as to what is going to be on getjovial.com…

I’d have to agree with you on the importance of deadlines, I can’t get anything done without them as well. I would also like to point out in your first footnote that very few pedestrians can actually be classified as “innocent.”

Hey, anyone else hear that sound? I could’ve sworn I heard something (and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a deadline) *suspicious smiley*

Erwin! Shouldn’t you be working on Bad Timing?

I’m not even going to comment on this topic. Just pretend I didn’t write this.

I’m exactly the same, I need deadlines too.
One problem is that there are so many things I’m working on and I want each and every one of them to get finished. That means I’m usually constantly busy working on one of them, but that way it takes ages for each individual project to make progress. And having little spare time doesn’t help either

Good luck with the deadline, let’s hope you don’t let down your cord.

Marking it on my calendar! And it’s not an arbitrary date anymore. If you don’t have something by the 23rd, I’ll be complaining and whining like a real fan!
