Didn't do any work... too busy playing games. This is analogous to a micro-brewer not brewing because he's too busy drinking.
This is still time well spent. You learn things by playing game you like and games you don't like - notably how to and how not to make a game.
The dream is still alive, of course.
Notable events include watching a series called Sequelitis on YouTube by egoraptor. He points out some obvious stuff about game design and then BAM reveals non-obvious secret. I'll have to watch my design documents carefully to make sure I build around "appropriate use of relevant skills" and "teaching through gameplay". Ya, I've seen some of this through Extra Credits... but egoraptor is 'Awesomer'.
Projects
Just reviewing some design notes. Thought about some revisions, but for the most part I'm good to go. Just need to log some time.
Gaming
Wall to Wall.
There was the Terraria update, new Civilization V DLC, a Nuclear Dawn free weekend (which I'm liking so I bought it). Fortune Street on the Wii is so good I haven't had time to play Skyward Sword. Plus there's the new Dungeons of Dredmor DLC to try out.
My New Years resolution is going to be to clear my gaming backlog. Then I won't be able to use that as an excuse any more.
Since the only new release on my horizon is (still) La-Mulana - I should run out of games in just a few months.
Other
Pretty normal.
Go Go Winter Festival, Lok
