Video Game Crack

There are several reasons why it's been nearly a week since our last update, and one small part of that for me is Desktop Tower Defence, an insanely addictive flash game. As with games that get this addictive the idea is simple, stop the evil dots from crossing the screen by constructing a maze of attack towers, but once you get into it there's actually quite a lot of complexity and strategy behind it.

The reason I'm blogging about it, is that the guys behind this game have recently quit their jobs to become full time game makers on the back of the success of this and their other tower defence games. They also have a blog about their experiences. Quitting your job and spending your time writing and playing games all day, for money? Sounds great. Shame we're too lazy.
