Welcome to Sunday Sundries: a new regular feature in which we try to compensate for our shameful lack of updates with a few links and videos. After all, if we can't satisfy your needs, then the least we can do is point you in the direction of some people who can.
Scirra Construct
Construct is a free utility for creating DirectX 9-based games and applications. I've not tried it myself, but Patrick has and he says that it "seems as easy to use, for non-programmers, as Game Maker claims to be." So there you go: if Patrick likes it, maybe you will too. Or maybe you won't. I don't care either way, to be honest.
Vegavox 2
"Alex Mauer and No Carrier return to a cathode ray television near you with Vegavox 2, featuring more NES graphics and musical goodness. Travel to a remote forest, up a neverending castle, or far into the depths of space and psyche, the choice is yours! It’s only a D-Pad button press away." In other words: chiptunes with authentic NES visuals delivered via ROM or – if you want to spend some money – cartridge. What a wonderful idea!
Oglaf
Apparently illustrated by Trudy Cooper of Platinum Grit fame, Oglaf is a sexy and remarkably clever webcomic chock full of boobs and doodles and other NSFW type stuff. If you're over 18 and don't mind looking at illustrated naughty bits, then you should totally check it out. I think you'll probably like it.

I don't give a crap about Doctor Who, but this is just adorable. |
