    Link to code journal app is broken. Don’t forget your protocols, people!

    (This is also why browsers hiding the protocol part of the URL sucks.)

    FYI, the code school link below has no affiliate link on it. So, I don’t think you are getting the kickback I would like you too

    It’s a special tracking URL they have us use, and they seem to track it on their end some how.

    We have had some success with it, so it seems to work, thanks though for really making sure I really appreciate it!

    FYI, there is a podcast that interviews independent game developers and shares developer success stories, strategies, and gives a lot of insight into the whole game dev world. I think this podcast is worth a listen for anyone interested in doing games.

    I’ve come up with a new game idea… The Evil media mogul Luther Murdox has spent mountains of cash to lobby Odin who sends Thor out to throw lightning bolts at small independent podcasters who must run from microphone to microphone to keep the show on air.
