Boston Game Devs Make 8 Games in 36 Hours

Darius Kazemi writes "This past weekend, a bunch of Boston-area game developers got together and did a 36-hour Boston Game Jam, inspired by the Indie Game Jam. We made eight games in 36 hours based on the theme of 'shift' for platforms as diverse as PC, GBA, and cell phones. The games range from a surprisingly complex behavioral sim to a game where you have to squish your opponent in a 2D physics deathmatch. Most of the games are available for download right now, and some of them even include the source code. In days to come, we'll be adding developer diaries and other goodies."

Attention Stupid People

No, actually, there is nowhere on Earth that indicates that Slashdot's "Redundant" moderation is intended only for comments which are redundant of only previous comments in the same story. Even bullshit about redundant first posts are redundant.

"Redundant" rings true of any comment involving

- the welcoming of overlords (of any class)
- netcraft confirmation
- it's a trap re: "Microsoft Blows Sunshine up Linux's Butt" and related articles
- Soviet Russia making you the object of some verb
- planetary landers, washing machines, etc. running linux
- frost psit
- hot grits re: Natalie Portman
- beowulf clusters of planetary landers, washing machines, etc.
- boom headshot
- 3. ????????
- 4. Profit!

and other lame, stupid, overused, redundant jokes that make the reader want to smack the poster with a wet plastic dildo. Duke Nukem Forever development cycle jokes qualify.

Redundant posts may not even be repeating overused Slashdotisms, but just garbage that is all too common on the Internet or in the media, such as 9/11 being an inside job, the Holocaust never happening, etc.

So STFU, your stupid post is both redundant and unintelligible. Judging from your comment and your sig, I think you may be overly obsessed w/ being moderated on Slashdot. Grow a brain and get a life.

But where...

But, where's my Duke Nukem Forever? I'm pretty sure that a hardcore 2 day coding crunch would end up with a better game than what they have so far...
