Look, an entire holiday for planet Earth!  I’ll do some extra Earth-y things today.

As an only slightly related sidenote, I realized today that the big promo for “Avatar movie on DVD, coming Earth Day!” is a bit off.  Avatar has nothing to do with planet Earth and everything to do with planet Pandora, and clearly it isn’t Pandora day today.  Like releasing a Christmas movie on Valentines Day.

Anyways.

What better way than to help the environment than running, not driving!  Here’s a recent shot from Exit-Path, my new running/racing/obstacle game.  Yum yum UI.

Uniplayer?  What the hell does that mean?  Oh yes, it means you are playing the non-multiplayer version of the game.  “Single Player” seems too cumbersome of a term. Two words?  PLEASE.  We’re trying to save the world here, not waste precious pixels and electricity displaying two words.  Let’s get it down to one word, Uniplayer.

Here we are running.  I hate reading long cumbersome instructions so most in this game come in tiny chunks of help.  WASD to move (or Arrow Keys work).  Did you ever notice that two of my games say the jump key is the D key?  I still punch myself over that typo, made worse being committed twice!  Oh, and don’t be fooled by the level name… it’s not “The Apocalypse” as listed… hopefully.

You want to be in the beta?  SOON MAYBE.

AND speaking of trees (I was talking about trees right?), I went back to Joshua Tree National Park again this year, this time dragging Carlie along for the ride.  PICTURES:

Look how goofy I’m standing in this picture, I can’t get over it.  I propped a camera on a sign nearby.  I hate asking people to take pictures for me so I instead prop my camera on rocks and other tall objects and hope no one comes by to ask to take a picture.

VROOOOOOOOOM is what it sounds like if you had really small ears and were taking off from this burned down Joshua Tree.

We found these little chipmunks while eating by some giant rocks.  They really know how to work people for food.

Happy Earth Day!  Take care.
