Knarly Hexes

Go try Knarly Hexes, the latest game from Everett Kaser.

It uses the same mental muscles as Minesweeper but, being a Kaser game, has more interesting logic deductions and a comprehensive hint system to teach them all.

I also played the Geneforge 5 demo this week. The game presentation has definitely improved from the last Geneforge game I played.

In terms of work, here are a set of common HDTV and notebook display resolutions, and the tile sizes that divide evenly into them. (The minimum size I did was 10; there are several smaller tile sizes that would also work.)
