Minter Working On Gridrunner++ For XBLA

Fan of all things hairy, bearded and woolen, Jeff Minter, dropped word on his LiveJournal today on the follow up to the loved/hated Space Giraffe for Xbox Live Arcade. Llamasoft's Gridrunner++ is currently in the redesign process for XBLA which will undergo a 3D transformation and will be "a much more involved game than the PC-only predecessor." More »

Space Giraffe is Rubbish, The Shirt

I'll be honest. I haven't played Space Giraffe, because my Xbox 360 is still in the intense care unit. (Have you? You like it?) Paper mag Official Xbox Magazine didn't dig the game much at all, giving it a 2/10. Over at Something Awful, Space Giraffe creator and head yak Jeff Minter called the review "the most extraordinary example of egregious fuckwittery" he's ever seen. Right or wrong, the magazine is certainly entitled to its opinion! Just as Minter is entitled to make t-shirts lampooning that review. They're available for purchase, too. Buy one if you like. Wear it, too. More »

Minter Calls Xbox Live Approval Process "Soul Crushing"

Jeff Minter and Llamasoft's Space Giraffe is currently bugging out the brains of some ten thousand-plus Xbox Live Arcade gamers, beggaring comparisons that range from Joyce's Ulysses to Minter's own Tempest 2000. But in a LiveJournal appropriate lamentation on the need to get away from it all, Minter says his experience dealing with the XBLA re-approval process—Space Giraffe's got some bugs, you see—is akin to a "massive, spirit-crushing inertia."

Poor Jeff. Lay off him already, Giraffe haters! If you love Space Giraffe, though, show Minter some love. Maybe a nice fruit basket or hand knit yak hair sweater would cheer him up.

Space Giraffe A Go-Go

Okay, I have no idea what's going on in this demo of Space Giraffe. But it reminds me of that time I licked a monolith I found sticking out of the dirth in the African desert, surrounded by strange looking, half-fossilized monkey bones.
