My shady Peruvian VPS.
Today I'm starting a new project. I'll create an automatic RPG battle game that works online. Folks will join the game and watch the characters fight... endlessly. Of course, players will be able to bet on everyfight.
The game will be hosted in my new shady perulainen VPS server.

Dear diary: today I slopped like crazy.
Finland's the closest I've been to the 1990's internet experience IRL
IGDA Tampere with my Finnish crew. Beers. For the first time, no games, only stories about the past 4 years. A well played game.
After 7 months... I'm officially a Peruvian Master in Game Studies (Estudios de Juegos). Might be the first Peruvian to achieve this (?)
In Barcelona the pub is only a block away. Less miserable, less unique.
There's something unique about walking a mile at -20° to watch United losing at home to Brentford.
I've lived in Finland thru the worst Man United seasons (at least since the Prem started). Still haven't missed a prem game (and a pub visit) in the last 4 years.
Moi moi #tampere pubs. I'll miss the way Manchester United is trolled around here.
It's been a year, but I'm teaching ethics in videogames again. Every semester we play 3 games that (I believe) are ethically/morally interesting. For this semester I picked the following.... (1/4)
