The jolly bunch of lowbit weirdoes The Poppenkast, normally the proprietors of short (and I mean short… 3 hours short) game development competitions, are running their first big compo, the theme of which is “Game Noir” (quoth: “game noir = film noir but then a game”).

After installing a new spam blocker I realized that there’s no decent way of removing the hundreds of spam comments that have previously gotten through, so seeing that there haven’t been THAT many non-spam comments in this blog’s lifetime, I decided to trash them all.

Another day of TIGjam, another sub-standard blog banner from Adam! Day 2 has been Accomplishment City.
