Hollow Knight: A dark, silly romp through the Hallownest

By Will Jay On In Fun Stuff

I can say with confidence that I’ve finished more Metroidvania-style games in my day than any other type. Deriving its name from a mashup of Metroid and Castlevania, it’s a genre that is defined by large, openly-explorable maps, a 2D gamespace, and an uptick in complexity of controls as the game goes on.

Over the past few years I’ve developed a continuing interest in Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency boom that we are currently experiencing is nothing short of mind-boggling, especially when you compare one of the first Bitcoin transactions (someone buying 2 pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoin in 2010), with the current going-rate of a single Bitcoin (over $10,000).

We reflect on what we’ve done and where we’ve been, we #topnine2017 on the Instagram, and we review The Best of 2017 lists. It is the end and beginning of something.

For me, it’s different this year. I’ve taken unexpected approaches:

LAURA JEAN GORSKI – a very short Biography of how this all started

My website bio reads: I never thought I would own an IT company. But, fortunately for me, after some gentle nudging from loyal clients and a bit of a shove from previous employers, I have a pretty great gig. I love my clients, coworkers and the change of pace technology offers. 2AM emergency phone calls never seem to matter when I can fix what’s broken.
