Started playing around with kaboom.js which is an elegant yet simple javascript game engine, and it's loads of fun.

This new game has been keeping me so very busy now for several hours every evening that it is making me crazy, I guess you are never too old to play computer games in order to pass the time and make yourself feel useful.

I like to play simulation and strategy games on my computer. The more complicated the better, having to be creative and puzzle your way through challenging scenarios is time consuming but fun at the same time.

So this time around I really went all out by purchasing one of the more intense grand strategy games called Crusader Kings III.

I completed the tutorial twice in order to understand the basics. There is so much depth to this simulation engine that it'll take me forever to figure it out. I guess then it's good that at least I get my money's worth in terms of total playing time.

In the olden days a ten minute round of pinball cost you a quarter. Using that as an example and not taking inflation into account, that means I will have to play this new game at least thirty-three hours before I break even.

On my way to becoming a future famous game developer, lots of cool stuff to play around with.
