This picture sums up my personal highlight of this week.<\/p><\/div>\n

This week we have seen rioting in London, legal wrangling in the gaming world and I managed to find a needle in a haystack. \u00a0This weeks tortoises have been the following:<\/p>\n

A little commentary on Bethesda’s trademark action in Trademark Trolls: \u00a0Scrolls and Bethesda v Mojang<\/a>.\u00a0 (I realise that looks like [Scrolls and Bethesda] v [Mojang] now but is actually meant [Scrolls] and [Bethesda v Mojang]. \u00a0Some inadvertent eats shoots and leaves stuff there.)<\/p>\n

My most popular post to date with The Return of the Cat<\/a>, which makes sense because it’s about a cat and this is the internet. \u00a0I am seriously considering becoming a cat blogger (as in somebody who blogs about cats, not a cat who blogs).<\/p>\n

Concern over the way that the media is trying to classify Technology as a Scapegoat<\/a>\u00a0with their remarks about how it was largely orchestrated through Twitter.<\/p>\n

The aggravating nature of requiring Constant Internet Connections for Gaming<\/a>\u00a0and just how far the internet has come for this to be viable.<\/p>\n

Another Tortoise Butler film with Portal 2 Music Video – Exile Vilify By The National<\/a>\u00a0in which highly talented people achieve deserted London shots by getting up at stupid ‘o clock, film high quality video clips in a short space of time, and I make posters and buildings that aren’t there in Photoshop.<\/p>\n

A growing trend in iOS games for Delayed Gameplay Games<\/a>\u00a0which tell you when you can play and not the other way around (now with a wonderful comment from someone who I can tell has been deeply wounded by this sort of game).<\/p>\n

This week’s iPad\/iPhone Game: \u00a0Dream Track Nation<\/a>, a simple time trial racer with buckets of charm.<\/p>\n

We finish the week on two posts about how to make comics, with How to Make Comics Part 1<\/a>\u00a0making soft reassuring noises that you don’t need a full blown graphic design studio and How to Make Comics Part 2<\/a> blowing simplicity out of the water by talking about my method of colouring things in using Photoshop.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That’s all for this week. \u00a0 I hope you’ve had as productive and satisfying week as I have and have thoroughly enjoyed the weekend as much as I’m hoping to, as I am writing this on Saturday morning (which means I’m communicating with the future I suppose). \u00a0Also just want to give a small self indulgent plug, but I have now passed all of my NCTJ exams and am officially fully qualified as a journalist, so if you want to employ me for a commission or an actual job, drop me a line at davidDOTofDOThingATgmailDOTcom and we can talk!<\/p>\n
