Super Meat Boy!
So with Shoobop down I needed to unwind so last night I picked up a copy of Super Meat Boy for 800 MSPoints on Xbox Live and began playing. Now I’ve seen all the hype, and to be fair in the indie circles there is a LOT of hype for this game, I must admit I found it if anything a turn off when I logged into Twitter to find my feed spammed with links to 10/10 reviews of SMB, but with...
Shoobop Got Broked!
Hey-ho-hum Hello!
So in true Timbo fashion I broke shoobop.com…again…like the retard I am. This wasn’t whoops I deleted a theme file’ kinda screw up like before though, no this was more ‘whoops I removed large chunks of code in a mad frenzy thinking I could simply put them back if it didn’t work and OH NO! The site has locked down!’. Alas I had to remove...
What's This?! A Timbo? In your Tumblr? Ooooh Yes!

Dungeons are a bitch...
So recently I’ve been a busy bee working on Dungeons and Towns People. The design document is about 95% done. All monsters have been written up, as have all key characters, and the dungeons, but now comes the tricky bit! Dungeon Puzzle Design!
I never thought it would be so hard to come up with creative puzzles, sure I can come up with “push button to open door” but...
Stuffs going down?
Hai!
Right, anyone who accesses this site normally via shoobop.com may have noticed it’s re-opened as a blog, but fear not! This is still my blog! Shoobop has now become a games article place…thingy. I wanna try my hand at video game journalism so thought I better make it look fancy and all, that way I can show it off more than a free tumblr blog…no offence tumblr.
Also if...

Wake me up when September ends...
Welcome to September! Wehay!
I have a bad history with the month of September, so if there is ever a time I’ll drop off the radar it’s now, this isn’t my plan though cause I have something sexy in the works with a mate of mine :-D yes it’s time for another issue of “Timbo refers to a project that never gets to see the light of day!” Yaaaaaay! But seriously,...

123 Blast On - Choose Your Own Adventure
1-2-3 Blast On! by 1-2-3 Blast On!
This is truly an amazing retro-8bit style album, from the sexy guys who gave us Icarus Proudbottom. I’ve had this thing on loop all day while doing pixely work and it just wont get old. It’s free although if you can afford it why not throw them a little moolah, or if you don’t live in Oddworld, whatever cash you have, they deserve it for...
some gif animations to pass the time...

These all work as MSN Display Pictures :-D
Stuff for Making Games...Epic Games!
Hehehe! Look at him run!
*ahem* Right, as I’m getting another sleepless night cause I live next to some grade A cunt I thought I’d update the blog with a post!
I don’t have much content for the site right now as my days consist of work and sleep (I take all the sleep I can get when I find 5 minutes of silence). So as a mate of mines little bro has taken an interest in Game...
Things I Be Playing...
Hello!
So I’ve been MIA for a while but this doesn’t mean I’ve been without my key life source, video games!
So what have I been playing and what do I think of these games? Read on…
Death Spank (PS3) Ever wondered what would happen if you took the comedy writer behind Monkey Island 1 and 2, left him on the side line for years, then gave him a new game to make but...
Howdy Peoples!
Hey guys, girls, ninjas and pirates! Yes I’m still around. Been a hellish few weeks with work and home life shit, lost a dog and a hamster to top it all off.
Anyway, time for a loooong over due update or two, bare with me…

The Bigger Picture...
Hello boys, girls, and onion monsters from the planet Crytos XII!
As you may have noticed earlier I posted from a nice little cafe on a tiny touch screen so my message was far from fancy so I felt I should go into a tad more detail now with an imaginary FAQ…these are the questions I imagine people would frequently ask if I was a big shot game developer or something:
1. What is Calamari...
Mmmm Calamari...
So a quick update as I’m posting from my iPhone on a limited data plan (thanks O2, you tight wankers). I got he green light from the coder I’ve been talking with about making Calamari :-D the game won’t be out for a little while as he’s a busy bunny as am I. The game will be iPhone early but do not worry my sexy friends. I’m planning to retain all rights to the IP and...
Ratchet and Clank - A Crack In Time - Review
Go back a few years now and you’d find a major rift between two types of gamers on the Playstation 2. You had to pick one side, and anyone stood in the middle ground was shot in the face…if they were lucky. I’m talking about the battle between Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter. I fell on the side of Jak and his psychotic furry friend Daxter back then and even today the...
Holy Shit!
I’m alive! I’m freaking alive!
Hey sexy peoples, sorry about the M.I.A recently. Virgin Media took freaking forever to pull their fingers out and get me back online! But I’m here now!
I’ll try to get a real update posted before I head to bed :-)
Just wanted to show I am back <3

What Be I Playing?
So what have I been playing recently? Read on to get a mini “what I think so far” of the games I’m currently playing :-D
I like to keep at least a few games on the go at any one time, this is because my attention span tends to vary, one day I can put hours into a single game, the next day I may be jumping between each game at every save point. Anywho, let’s begin!

Virgin Media we are no longer friends :-(
So a few months ago I get a call from Virgin Media my internet provider offering a deal of cable tv and free home phone for £5 on top of my current bill. I agreed cause the phone would give me free access to their tech support (only reason I’d use it) and the TV would work better than my current free-view box (which simply didn’t work).
So after a few screw ups in delivering the new hardware I...

This is a competition in which games are created from the inspiration of their music. We wrote the music for SPACE JUNK and we desperately need your votes to meet the top of the competition. We’re in second at the moment, but there isn’t much time left, so if you could be a doll and spread the word on this as quickly and amazingly as you can.. you might just receive some mallard...
Adventur Time!
No no not THAT kind of Adventure Time! I’m thinking about making a short Adventure Game using Adventure Game Studio and the visual style I’ve been tinkering with that you no doubt have seen bouncing around the site. The characters above are not set in stone characters for the game, hell I have no plans in the way of story or characters yet, their more a test of if the style is varied...

Monkey Island 2 : LeChuck's Revenge - Special...
My Review of Monkey Island 2 : LeChuck’s Revenge - Special Edition
I love the Monkey Island Series…I say that, I love the first 3. After that things went 3D and…well…”Oh Dear” springs to mind. Even Telltale have failed to capture my love once again for Guybrush and his adventures although they are doing a good job of trying.
The game I love the most of...
Hello peoples!
Hello sexy party people!
My names Timbo, I’m a wannabe Indie Game Dev and from now on this should be my new home for blogging any old crap from game reviews to “omg I found this on the net you have to see it!” stuff.
So why am I here? Well to mark the one year anniversary of my website (shoobop.com) it decided to fuck up in an epic style and now will no longer run most php...
