Like a virgin, hacked for the very first time.

Overnight all 23 of my domains were hacked, all be it rather nicely, by the infamous Turkish hacker, iskorpitx.

If you Google his name you get almost 70,000 results. A couple of years back he was breaking records by hacking more than 20,000 sites all at the same time.

Fortunately for me and however many other sites were done, these kinds of hacks are more of a statement than malicious and the fix was just to simply restore or delete the little plain text index.html file and all was back to normal.

After having domains on the net since 2003 this is my first time being hacked!

The Unfinished Swan

Holy crap this looks like my kinda game. I love puzzle games, but when you have a puzzle game in the first person = ftw. And when it looks this beautiful = ftmfw.

I can’t tell you how much im looking forward for this to be released.

The Unfinished Swan is a first-person painting game set in an entirely white world.
Players can splatter paint to help them find their way through an unusual garden.
