For almost three years we've been using the Godot Improvement Proposals (GIP) repository to help track feature suggestions and enhancement ideas for the engine from its users. Over time, the project has accumulated over two thousand open proposal issues. Navigating this sea of ideas is a very hard task for both Godot users and engine maintainers. If you're unfamiliar with it, the proposal process consists of three steps.

Hey all I’m back with a game that was rather less than memorable from the creators of Devil May Cry for this week’s Retro Game Friday. It’s P.N.03! Plot: Frankly it’s not the greatest, and even looking back I couldn’t remember much of it beyond fighting robots. That said it’s definitely a different sort of game than DMC.

Hey all I’m back with an unscheduled post today to celebrate another anniversary! It’s been 8 Years! 8 Years?!: I know, I can hardly believe I’ve been writing for 8 years now. I look back at my blog and think about how very cringe worthy some of my early posts and reviews are compared to how I write now. Some of them were excessively wordy, so I’m glad I’ve learned to be more concise.

The pomp and glory and cruft hanging off the game have grown so much bigger than the game itself. You bring the bread, we’ll bring the circus. Last Sunday was Super Bowl MVXCLIIXXXL, my nation's second-biggest secular holiday. As we always do, we invited all our nerd friends over for a party. We had a lot of fun, and I got all reflective about what the Super Bowl means to me.

Hey all I’m back with another classic for this week’s Movie Monday. It’s The Karate Kid! Plot: The plot is pretty solid, and while it’s very much the standard 80’s action flick stuff, it also is a coming of age story. Frankly I won’t go into the story much, if you haven’t seen this you really need to watch it.

We are used to talking about directors, cinematographers and actors because they are the most visible in the filmmaking process. However, filmmaking is a complex process in which a huge number of people are involved. What about those who work on costumes and sets? And the stunts? All these are talented people who know their craft, and today we would like to focus on something without which contemporary cinema would be inconceivable: effects.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. With “ All In ,” Discovery opens up the second half of its fourth season with a strangely funny installment that uses the evidence of connection between Book and Burnham to highlight how the DMA issue has divided them. The episode is as good for laughs as it is for the incredibly painful emotional set piece that forms the story’s core.
