Hello, readers. Good news! Actual real-life daily blogging resumes at the new Tim Fernholz tumblr, under the same-old www.timfernholz.com URL. Please adjust your RSS readers/tumblr follows accordingly, and be sure to tell your friends.

This website and its dubious archives will continue to be accessible here at timfernholz.wordpress.com, if anyone is into that.

I have been remiss, dear readers, in maintaining this site; I’ve been awful busy over at Quartz. A new timfernholz.com is coming in January, 2013. Happy New Year!

He really likes that.’”

“Forty-eight hours later, the Molyjammers had created about 300 games. In Coo, a pigeon presents suicidal businesspeople with emotionally charged objects in an effort to dissuade them from killing themselves. In Unbearable, a bear runs out of oxygen unless it hugs someone every few seconds—usually crushing them in the process. Cody and Kari Raos Clark, a husband-and-wife team who had never designed a videogame, made Secret Dad, a poignant game about a divorced father who must help his estranged family while evading their notice.”
