Squeak, chirp, gurgle, etc. (12/13/2007, 03:33 AM) |
|
So my exams are done.. And now I have a lot of free time on my hands.. Or so I'd like to think. Although this time to come is going to be fun, it's still an obligation. I said "I'll _____ when I have a holiday" about 70 times too many. I have a lot of things to get done, which includes, but is not limited to..
In other news.. I played Guitar Hero 3 for the first time recently.. Well, not just 3.. It's the first guitar hero experience I've had. Interesting game.. It kills my ego though.. My ego will have to grow larger so it can crush the game.. Not literally mind you, it's hard to play videogames with a shattered disc. I'd also like to voice my discontent that Anti-Virus is dead.. I know I keep bringing it up now and then.. But that game had potential! I'm really sad that the latest source is gone. I would like for people to play the game one last time, and post your highest scores honestly on the forums, along with level names.. If it becomes popular enough, I'll make a forum section for AV scores. I won't be making any online high score tables, because that would require the source, and the source I've got is far too behind to work with. So.. In memory of Anti-Virus, I request that people give it one more shot. I rant and rave about how I want to become eFamous for doing something great, because that will bring members to Project610, and they will play my games, which will make me more eFamous.. But then I realized that I've been waiting for people to join in order to make something great. So I hereby declare that, when I make a game that my (few, but dedicated) fans believe is really worth it, I will pay to advertise it. I need someone to hold me to that, please. That said.. I'm off to the drawing board! Okay.. Not quite. If I did that, people would stop reading my blog. I have one more thing to rant about.. GO! What happened to that? I know that our beloved Shino got to the end of Tier 2, and then gave the link to Tier 2 away until I noticed it was on the forums.. Even still.. I don't think anybody read the forums at that point, so it went unnoticed. Well.. I'm still not giving the link to Tier 2 away.. I'm not giving more hints.. Because nobody bothers with Go anymore. I will give cool points to anybody who writes a link to Go on a piece of paper, posts it somewhere public, and then posts a picture on the forums. The more obnoxious and attention grabbing it is, the more points you get. If I ever use cool points in the future, they will be counted towards them. LINKS!
That's all for now.. I hope to see you on the forums, and to hear about Go, AntiVirus, and... Just get on the forums!

Been a while.. (12/02/2007, 06:48 PM) |

WHABAM! Caught you off guard, didn't I? For once I made a new picture, and I'm sneaking a blog in here too. Woah, woah, careful.. Long, deep breaths, I understand.. It'll be okay, I didn't mean to scare you like that.
Anyway... I'll BRB, gotta get some food. [17:48]
[18:20] Mmmmmmmm, steak. Nothing more satisfying than grinding the slightly bloody remains of a cow to a pulp with my molars, then breaking it down into something vile with my stomach acid. Anyway, where was I?
That MMORPG Shino was talking about in his latest picture is Sword of the New World. I won't go into too much detail about it, because I just linked to it, and that ought to suffice. If you're curious, click the link, if you aren't, click it anyway, because it's an interesting game. Here's my family in SOTNW. They get along very well. If they had a mother, she would be proud.
I suppose I owe my readers an explanation as to why I have not been blogging for so long, and why, when I did blog, I would write such an incredibly short, and essentially meaningless entry? Well, I'll be honest with you....... I've been selected by the gods to save the world from the oncoming onslaught of sabre-toothed octopi.. True story...
So.. Will I be blogging more frequently? It really all depends on the respawn rate of those sabre-toothed octopi. I'd like to say that I would blog on a weekly basis, but I'd hate to make a promise I can't keep. As for promises, I'll make a sincere effort to remember to blog. During my adventures, much has happened, and I'm sure I can find time to tell tales of my mission.
As for telling the future.. I hope that I'll get some programming done this winter holiday. I might even make a game with some sort of online capability.. The sort that surpasses that of Anti-Virus. The real-time sort. I just have to work out some issues that have been getting in the way of programming awesome stuff.
 ^ That's not me.. But if you imagine those tiny monsters being octopi, you would be able to see why I am so busy. They just don't stop coming!
For those who still want me to vlog.......... Well, don't hold your breath. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.. I still don't have anything that I can vlog about that people would care to watch.
I probably owe you guys a few hundred links by now.. But I haven't many to share. I'll share what I think might be worthy.
No reason for the 2 slightly religion based links.. Just the first things that came to mind. That said.. I'm off for now! Wish me luck in the fight against the sabre-toothed octopi. I will fight to preserve our lives until this war comes to an end! (Note: Octopus may or may not be synonymous in this context to "Class". Plural rules apply accordingly.) Oh, I nearly forgot (Partial truth.. I actually completely forgot, and am editing the blog now): Note at the top menu, there's a button that looks like this: Oh, and if anybody's curious about me in Sword of the New World.. My family is called '610', and I play on the Orpesia server. Until then.. Byebye. |

Hi! (09/03/2007, 04:01 PM) |
 That is all..

Long time no see.. (05/11/2007, 08:18 AM) |
|
So.. I haven't updated in a while.. Sorry about that.
There's been a bit of drama and stuff to deal with.. And I've really just been being lazy.
I still haven't bothered to start that video blog that someone suggested, because I can't seem to be funny without something to work with. As such, sitting in front of a cam alone doesn't really bring out my inner funny. That, and I'm still not 100% about putting my face on the internets for all to see.
In other news, my brother's birthday is coming up, and a couple of years ago, my mother bought him some chicken soup from Barbados and gave it to him as a gag gift. Why? Because it wasn't called "Chicken soup", it was called "Cock flavoured soup", which the whole family got a good laugh at. So my brother's birthday gift from me is the following:
 It's taped together so they come as a set, and I put some tape on the bottom, and ran around my house collecting cat fur for added effect. I kind of feel like a jerk though.. Because his birthday is like.. Tomorrow, and all I'm getting him is this, whereas just yesterday, he gave me one of his old guitars for no reason. Granted it's not in top condition, (Missing a string, out of tune..) it's still worth more than the 7 bucks this gift cost me. :\ Well.. I hope he agrees that it's the thought that counts, 'cause I have no money.
Anyway, I mentioned on the forums (To which I am linking, because I doubt many people read it.) that I was having laptop troubles. Update: Still am. I'm 97.36% sure it's the videocard, so I'll have to send for repairs. Bleh.
Another item: I'm learning plenty of videogame music on the guitar, and I might youtube some of it out of boredom. I should probably disable comments though, because I'm no good, and I'll probably get lots of unflattering feedback. "OMG LYK USE MROE DEN 1 STRING AT A TIEM" Pfft, I'm only still learning what strings make what noises.
Anyway, due to laptop dead-ish-ness, there won't be many links this time. Maybe next time.
That's all for now.. |

Get off my back! (03/25/2007, 10:00 PM) |

That's right, I'm talking to you, homework. All those midterms, and assignments took up my precious being-sane time, which prohibited me from doing things like blog updates, working on 'Go', and playing videogames. I've finally hit a point where I can relax for a night without worrying too much, which is nice. One of the most significant thoughcts I've had recently is about when someone asked me a couple of weeks ago.. Well, more like they insisted that I should make a video blog on Youtube. What's disturbing is that I've actually given that some thought, and came close to doing it, but then I remembered how camera shy I am and how unclear my speaking is, and the idea didn't take off.. Well, maybe I could get more used to the whole 'talking to a camera' thing, but it's going to take some adjusting for sure. Well, we'll worry about that another time. On to more interesting things, like this: http://www.hammeruncut.com/new-condom-with-teeth-ouch/ The concept came up a couple years ago, if I recall correctly, and was subject to a lot of criticism. I mean let's face it, that thing could be problematic. Can anybody say 'College party prank'? People would sneak up on a sleeping roommate who happens to be.. Ehm.... Vulnerable, at the moment, and slam that down. Now what? He has to go to the hospital to get it removed, and people think he's a rapist, and he gets charged, and his roommate won't admit it lest he gets into trouble, blah blah blah. ... And people wonder why I don't like the idea of roommates. Geez. That photo's just frightening to look at. As for something fun.. This is amusing: http://www.iterationgames.com/main.html It's a collection of games, some of which are better than others. I haven't tried them all, but it's worth a look. Especially the game at the bottom. "Joust 3", which is based off of the arcade games Joust and Joust 2, where you ride an ostrich-type bird, and you carry a lance. The object of the games was to hit your opponent with your lance abover theirs to defeat them. Creative idea, amusing game. Joust 3 builds on the concept, and made it into a game with 7 levels which ar exceptionally difficult. In other news, my mouse is close to being complete. I work on it a little bit every now and then, and all that's left to do is put in the plastic windows, and smooth out the surface where I cut so I don't get any ugly cuts on my hand or anything. In other other news, I've finally found time to work on 'Go' some more. Tier 2 is currently 52% complete. This is an improvement on the 28% it was left at for a long time. I'll have some ice cream after I finish this blog, and hopefully I'll be feeling creative enough to bring it to about 68-80% completion. I wouldn't count on it though, I might be lucky to get to 60%. Also, I get to start working again this summer starting in May, which means I'll be earning far more this summer than last summer, which I started working in like.. August. There are pros and cons, but the underlying pro that keeps me going is "money". It was last summer's work that maed Project610 possible, and it'll be this summer's work that will make....... Uhm.... Something else possible. Maybe a video camera. Oooooooooh, that'd be fun. Expensive.. But definitely fun. I think... Maybe... Yeah I don't know, we'll see. I'm getting ahead of myself. Yeah, I tried to work the links into the blog this time, but I can't really write a paragraph about this.. Or maybe I'm just not in the mood to.. So... This is the paragraph, even though I said I wasn't going to. It's like a paradox or something. Yay! http://www.idkwtf.com/videos/latest-videos/comedian-playing-tetris It's funny, that's all that matters. Anyway, until next time..

Thoughts just falling out of the air.. (02/21/2007, 11:32 AM) |
|
Regarding this picture: I was talking to a friend a while back about my wardrobe.. Or lack thereof. It seems everything I wear is black, so just to prove a point I decided to show you why wearing not-all black, or in other words, all white, would be not-so-great. Not for me, anyway. Nevertheless, some day soon, I'm going to wear no black clothes for a whole day. Well, excepting my coat/belt/backpack, as I don't have any non-black aternatives. Anyway, on to my more interesting topic of conversation..
Disclaimer: If you are afraid of heights to the extent that I am, then merely reading this might creep you out a little.
A long time ago, I watched this: http://tmst.twu.net/flash/igsf2d.htm and thought "Hah, such an amusing song, and a good video to go along with it."
The other day, I watched it again, just for the heck of it, and thought to myself while trying to fall asleep: "What if I were falling to my certain death? What would I do with the last bit of time given to me?"
My first thought was that I'd call my family and be like "Sorry.. I'm going to die." if my cellphone worked up there.. And if I could breathe well enough to talk and such.. I've never fallen to my certain death at an incredibly high altitude, so I can't say I know for sure what it'd be like.
So, I pose this question to anybody and everybody who reads this blog: Disturbing as it may be to think of such an event, (It creeps me right out just thinking about it) what would you do? How would you spend your last minutes of life?
I can assure you that I would stop at nothing to save my life. I'd be making parachutes out of clothing, trying to aim my falling corpse-to-be for water, even though I'll either get killed by the impact, slam into the ground under the surface of the water, get eaten by whatever inhabits the water, drown due to lack of land nearby, or some other unfortunate life-ending event... Well yeah, that's what I'd do.
So.. What would you do? Click the forum button at the top of http://www.project610.com, make an account if you don't have one, and say what you'd do, because I'm curious.
Links time! I don't really have many this time.. I've been busy.. With stuff....
Tier 2 of 'Go' is.. *Ahem* 'Making progess'.. Yeah....... It'll be ready soon.

Ring, ring! (02/13/2007, 07:46 PM) |
|
"Not here right now, leave a message at the beep." BEEP
... Or this is what you would expect to hear when you call your buddy while they're in class, because they have their phone off, and wouldn't dare to answer it in class.. Right? Wrong.
I find that, in classes of hundreds of people, usually at least one person's phone is on, and at least that one phone rings once, so that person has to either answer it, or pick up and hang up really quickly just to shut the thing up. A few people laugh at that one person, class is interrupted for a few seconds, and then everything continues. Usually a couple people (Sometimes myself included) have to turn their ringers off after hearing that, lest it happens to them as well, since, well.. After laughing at someone else's misfortune (Out loud or not), you would hate to have the same happen to you.
As you can see here, I have a really fun idea, which I will propose to you, my readers, and ask you to spread the word about it, if you like the idea.
We'll call it.... Chris' Classtime Calling Countdown, for the sake of alliteration, and since my name is Chris.. Well... It's just so apt.
I will write a simple program that counts down to some random middle-of-the-day time, and once that time hits, everybody watching it can call a friend of theirs who's currently in class. Consider it a test of who turns their ringer off prior to going to class.
I am well aware that I currently only have a few people who read this regularly.. But if the word of this spreads.. (I'll put up a page soon dedicated to the countdown, and linking to this posted blog for the sake of explaining.) Just imagine, over time, how this would escalate. It's deliciously evil, isn't it?
Now, if this idea takes off, I would ask you to be respectful of the classes that people are in, and if you're not within a few seconds of the timer, try not to call. I care about education, and I'm sure others do as well, so try not to cause repeated interruptions, because University is expensive. :(
That un-fun aspect out of the way.. When your friend starts screaming at you for calling them in class, just link them to the countdown page, and they should understand, and hopefully take part if they can. I wouldn't exactly call this a pyramid scheme, since it's generally innocent, and mostly motivates people to turn off their ringers when they go to class so that they can avoid said humiliation. It's really more of a repeated pyramid prank. So I'm sure it's okay to take part in.
Some people have really funny ringtones that ought to be heard by the masses, anyway..
Oh, and if you aren't sure if your friend is in class when the timer hits 0, maybe you should call them anyway.. They probably miss you, since you'd rather be busy watching some countdown instead of spending time with them. Geez...
Links time!
Oh, and happy Valentine's day to those who celebrate it. I'm pretty sure that's tomorrow. Update: http://www.project610.com/clock.php There you go. The button at Projec610 in the menu says "CCCCClock". It leads to the same place. |
|
Oh, look at that.. (02/08/2007, 02:02 AM) |
|
New picture and blog at the same time. No way!
Those midterms really sneak up on you, eh? I was tempted to make a picture about what I'm going to blog about, but maybe, if I remember to, I'll make that picture next time. Maybe I won't make it at all, we'll see.
Anyway, I'm not going to put too many links in this update, because I have one super-mega-ultimate-awesome-incredible-uber-win link that everybody who reads this should look at.
Well okay, not everybody. It's a game, and I know not everybody plays games, but this one is truely amazing. Get this: It was made by one person. By the way, don't question all the bolding I'm doing today. I just felt like it, so hah.
Anyway, I'm an individual programmer, and to create a game that has a lot of people interested is like a dream for me. Except I don't have dreams, I just have nightmares. But they serve as good inspiration sometimes. Other times they're just sad, or scare the crap out of me, or I don't remember them at all.. But nevertheless! This game has existed since 2004, and people are still amazed by it. That's a pretty potent game right there.
The game is called Cave Story
The premise: You are a robot with no memory of.. Well.. No memory. We'll leave it at that, because the story tells itself as you play. Soooo.. If you want to know the rest of the story, play and finish the game!
A couple of warnings:
1. On the left side, there's a thing that says "Cave story deluxe package". This is in English, so unless you want to play a game in Japanese, you'd better download this version.
2. The game has 3 endings... So once you finish the game, finish it again, and again! If you need help finding out how, head to the forums and ask. But try to leave out any plot details. Don't want to spoil it for anyone else, y'know?
3. The controls are a bit odd... Get used to 'em.
Move/look: Arrow keys Interact with stuff: Down arrow
Inventory: Q
Switch weapons: A/S Jump: Z
Shoot: X With that out of the way, the controls probably make the game sound like a typical game.. But it's just so amusing. To give an idea of the time you'll spend playing the game.. Well the second time around, you can finish the game anywhere between 2-5 hours. You'll want to be thorough, though, because there are a lot of secrets in the game. Some things you do in the middle of the game will effect the ending you get, so beware.
Oh, one more warning.. The music is awesome, so if it gets stuck in your head, it's not my fault. Actually it is.. Because it's good music, and I would like to be responsible for putting good music in your head, instead of all that rap and stuff that's out there. Yuck.
For anybody who's curious, I've finished the game and seen all 3 endings. I've seen almost everything there is in the game, and I only downloaded it a couple of nights ago.. So if you're a dedicated gamer, you shoud get to see most of the game in not too long of a time. There are some aspects that might keep you playing though.. One that keeps me playing is the thought of doing speedruns. That is.. Finishing the game as fast as I can.
Anyway.. Aside from that....
A forum member here, by the name of Shino, has this browser-game he made, which can be found here.
It doesn't look like much without registering.. and.. Well....... Hmm, I'll talk to him about that. It really should be fixed. ANYWAY.. I'm going to let him use Project610 to host a beta version, which will be used solely for testing new features which might eventually get added to the normal version. So if you see a button called 'STW BETA', or something along those lines, that's what it's going to be for.
I don't really have any other news.. Well, it's news that my ingrown toenail is going away slowly.. But I'm sure nobody wants to hear about that. Oh well, you did anyway, so take that.
On to links! (If you've gotten this far without playing Cave Story, I am proud of you, but urge you not to get stuck here. That game is fun!)
I have a lot of other links that I want to put here, but I really should hold back. Hopefully I'll remember them when the next update comes along. Until then.. |

Go! Etc. (01/21/2007, 10:21 PM) |
|
If you're wondering about that picture.. Well, I like snow. And it has finally started snowing somewhat frequently here, so I was happy to wake up in the middle of the day and see snow. Unfortunately the snow was getting all plowed away and salted so shortly after, which was upsetting. About 30 minutes after I expressed such disappointment, I slipped on a puddle of water that doubtlessly came from snow. Poetic justice? Irony? I don't know, but my butt hurt for a day after that. Anyway..
Today's meeting is about... Go... Not the movie.
You might notice a new button in the menu on www.project610.com. It looks sort of like... This:
 Go ahead, give it a click.
I've decided to make one of those webpage-riddle-like-things. I imagine it might be fun to play with, or something. I mean hey, if you're reading this instead of doing homework, you ought to have something to think about.
I warn you though: I won't give any hints, so don't bother asking for 'em. Although I won't make an effort to stop people from giving the answers away, I encourage you to try to solve the riddles on your own, then you can be proud of doing something. But I also recommend you discuss anything you don't know with someone else, because I don't consider some of these riddles to be common knowledge.
There are currently only 25, but I'll add a second tier when I find that a lot of people have finished tier 1. The riddles aren't exactly increasingly difficult; some are easy, some aren't. Some require experience with something, some require common knowledge, some require patience. Mind you.. When I get around to making tier 2, it will doubtlessly be harder, because I need to keep the people occupied while I think of other riddles.
Anyway, as promised, I'll do one of those reviews of a game I got recently.
Rogue Trooper: http://www.eidosinteractive.com/games/info.html?gmid=161
Developed by Rebellion, published by Eidos The game came out some time in 2006, if memory serves me correctly, and last I checked, few had heard of it. But then, with a corny name like Rogue Trooper, who would want to hear about it, right?
Basically the plot of the game is about this place called Nu Earth, which is near some portal that people can go through to travel far away really quickly and whatnot. Anyway, there are two groups of people at war. The 'southers' and the 'norts'.You, the main character, go by the name 'Rogue'. How original. You're a genetically modified soldier who is able to live on this planet which is loaded with toxins and whatnot. Oh, by the way, your skin is blue, and your eyes are glowy-white. Why? I guess this is their way of showing how modified you really are. (Don't tell anybody, but I think they just made them have blue skin because they wanted a game with people who have blue skin.)
Anyway, these blue guys have chips in their head, or neck, or somewhere in that general area, and if their bodies get killed, someone can salvage those chips and put them in their gun, or backpack, or wherever there's a spot for a chip. Incidentally, Rogue has 3 friends, and 3 spots for chips. His friends are named Gunnar, Helm, and Bagman. Guess where the chips go! You guessed it. Gun, helmet, and bag (Backpack). It's like they were meant to be or something. How cool is that? Oh, and the chips can talk. And they do.. They really do. They never stop, in fact. A webcomic which I read regularly had a strip about this game, in fact. http://ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20060619 Amusing.
Anyway, plot holes aside, the game's pretty nifty. It's a third person shooter, and the enemies (Norts) don't have GI (Genetic infantry. AKA Blue people) who can live on this planet with ease. This means that they need their people, who all happen to have East-European accents, (They sound Russian-like, but they all speak English.) to have these safe suits with backpacks that explode when shot at. Really safe.. Also Really amusing.
The game favours you for being stealthy, but doesn't give you many opportunities to be such, because sneaking up behind an enemy to kill them and get a small bonus is nearly impossible. The game is mostly about just getting from point A to point B without dying, and if you can kill enough enemies, you shouldn't have to worry too much about staying alive.. Unless you're against hiding from bullets now and then.
Unfortunately, the game seriously lacks in the multiplayer area. It has like 5 levels, and they're all co-operative and such. It also has net-play, which I haven't tried, but I imagine it's similar.
To quantify the game's qualities:
Plot: 4/10 - Lots of weird things that make you think critically of the game. It also just wan't very immsersive.
Gameplay: 6/10
- The game goes smoothly, playing is simple enough, although the controls are a bit odd, they aren't hard to get used to. Could've used some boss fihgts, though, instead of just cinematics of you killing the important people.
Visuals: 9/10
- It looks okay. Nothing particularly spectacular, but it's definitely not ugly, which is good.
Multiplayer: 3/10
- Bleh. If you're looking for a ps2 game to play with your pals, then this is definitely not going to last long.
Singleplayer: 8/10
- The game is amusing enough to keep playing, and it has unlockable 'cheats', which add a little bit of replayability, as well as the unockable "Massacre" difficulty mode. I have yet to get around to playing that though. It's easy enough to understand that you won't get completely lost.
Overall: 60%
That's about it, I suppose. Time for links!

Headphones and computer science, with a UV LED on top. (01/12/2007, 02:48 AM) |
|
Hi!
Let me start by voicing my hatred for a Certain brand Of Bad qualitY when it comes to headphones.. I will keep their name confidential, and assume that everybody else already knew
So I bought a pair of headphones last Sunday, which were moderately comfortable, and the audio quality was slightly below par (IT SUCKED), but the worst part of all is that yesterday, Wednesday, APPROXIMATELY 72 HOURS POST-PURCHASE, I opted to take these headphones off of my head in order to do something else. Granted, I've taken the headphones off on several occasions, but I did it ever-so-delicately, because I'm like that with things that cost me over 40 bucks. Well this fateful wednesday, I decided that I would take the headphones off of my head without fearing of accidentally shifting a single electron. Using the force similar to that of tearing a 1-ply sheet of toilet paper that's been soaking in water for an hour, and which had been scratched up a little by a kitten prior to being submerged in the water.. I took them off, and I hear a crack. This was an unsettling crack, because the headphones, with their nifty little folding feature (The headphones were so bulky that they could hardly collapse, and thus, being able to fold them slightly inward was a waste of durability, evidently..) folded the wrong way.
Startled, I figured "Maybe if I put them back on my head, they'll be okay." So I did just that, and then I heard another crack, followed by a thud, which came with a secondary thud. Those thuds were the sound of each earpiece of these headphones hitting my floor, one at a time.
... How disconcerting. Long story short, I need new headphones, and I am not the slightest bit pleased about it. I really hope I saved the receipt, and hopefully I can get some store credit for those headphones, and maybe buy some solder with the credit instead. If not.. I'm sure I can think of something fun to do.
Next topic.. Turns out my final project for computer science isn't a game, but my professor has insisted that we will do "other fun stuff instead"... She laughed after saying that.. So I don't really know if she's serious.. But I hope so. I want to have fun programming. The class is going alright so far. Haven't really taken a huge dive into the world of 1s, 0s, and Java code though. Oh well, more on that later.
I would like the world to note, also, that the UPS guy is taunting me. I ordered some LEDs so I can mod my mouse into a super sexy mouse of significant shiny sweetness... Umm.. I couldn't think of a word for 'mouse' that started with S. Yeah.. So anyway.. He keeps coming when I'm in class, and then leaving, because I have to pay more than what I spent on the product and shipping in customs costs. I've left the money on a table for my housemates to pay the guy in the event that he comes when I'm sleeping or something.. But if I don't get that package tomorrow, then I have to go to UPS HQ or something to pick it up. Having no car, that would make this unpleasant.
Anyway, hopefully I'll get those LEDs so I can finally get to modding my mouse, giving it those windows, andthe pretty UV light coming out of it. Until then, I might as well just play some videogames.
I started playing my games - well, one of them - recently. I figure, even though they aren't all that new anymore, I can give a review of them each time I finish one. That will keep me updating, and maybe keep me gaming a little too.
Okay, I think I have some links this time, so here goes..
More on the mouse mod, BF2142 rap (As if.), and the videogame reviewing later! 'Til then. |

Been a while since I've updated. Christmas passed.. Then the New year came.. And now it's almost 2:00 on January 3, and I'm leaving to go back to school on the 7th. As one might be able to tell.. I'm kind of looking forward to it. See.. I didn't think I'd be playing my Playstation 2 at all when I came home for the holidays, but then I got 4 new ps2 games for christmas, a gift certificate with which I bought another videogame, and money.... Also got a game with that. XD
Anyway, I haven't been able to play them (Excepting one, and only on occasions where a ps2 is nearby, which isn't common at the moment.) and they're starting to get lonely, I think. So.... I'm kind of looking forward to getting a chance to play the games before the discs decay or something. Anyway, those games are..
I brought Flat Out 2 to a new years gathering of a few people and we played the minigames.. It didn't last long before nobody wanted to play anymore because I kept winning.. Hmm.. As for actual school.. I have some fun courses coming up.. Intro to computer science, Calculus II, Linear Algebra, Math Expression and Reasoning..... Sounds fun! .... Right? Right... Anyway, I don't really any have interesting links, but if I find any, I'll edit with them, or maybe I'll write a new entry with them in it or something. My stumbling ability is... Stumbling a little lately. 'Til next time! Oh, and I'm changing my alias to something less and more scary at the same time. More on that later! |

Wooo (12/06/2006, 04:33 PM) |

I met someone at my school. Woooo.
Apparently meeting RAs, and other titled people doesn't count, according to.. Well.. Everyone who's insisted I meet someone so far. But this time I met a student! So hah!
Anyway.. regarding this website. Spread the word a little. The sooner a lost of people start visiting a lot, the sooner I'll be excited to write another computer game to show off to everyone.
Ooooooh, I heard my computer science class next term requires me to make a game. So excited. I wonder what I'll do... If you've any suggestions, post on the forum. There's a 99% chance that I'll turn down your suggestion if the words "ripoff of ..", "spinoff of ..", "Kind of like .." show up in the description. I like to make original games to some degree.
Had a fun experience last night.. My sister is taking this police foundation class at college, and so she had a bunch of her friends over yesterday to study. One of them brought some mace that he was given, and he wanted to know how it felt. Laughter ensues.
In other news, I was playing MapleStory the other day, and decided I'd fight the Jr. Balrog. For those who don't know what that is; it's basically a boss monster. This monster is way beyond me in strength, and defense, but I'm human, and have the ability to heal myself. I think I did well. I had fun, anyway.
Anyway, short update today, time for links.

So I got a friendly email a few days ago from someone about the monitor in my window. I figured it'd only be appropriate to act in kind and send a friendly email back regarding the topic at hand. Then - get this - they sent me another friendly email, so I fired back!
This continues a few times, and eventually the suggestion gets thrown 'out there', which should actually be called 'in here', since the idea was being inserted into the conversation, from its former out-of-conversation location. Who called it 'out there' anyway? I've got some words for that person, but I'll keep them out th- Er.. In here, as in.. Not.. In this message... Yeah. I DIGRESS.
The aforementioned suggestion was that I should give the monitor more of a purpose. Sure, it's fun talking at people outside without them replying at me.. In fact, it's kind of like this blog, but much more brief.. But anyway, it'd be interesting to interact with these people who are looking a my monitor. It was decided that I should make a website. Not just just for the people who look at my monitor, mind you. Consider it a 'me' place, where I'll put up things I've created, games I've written.. That sort of thing.
That site, in case you missed the title, is http://www.project610.com. It reads my blogs, so you can read them there, if you aren't there already.
So.. If you're a newcomer, and you're interested in trying out new games that I'll be programming every now and then, or.. Well.. I'm sure you'll find something interesting here. There's always the forums.
Anyway, on to links.
Enjoy. |

On the spot (11/19/2006, 08:57 PM) |

You totally had to have seen it coming. Yay right-justified!
I found myself browsing the internets tonight, and noticed that I had a somewhat massive collection of links. Dare I say it.. Too many. I figured it was about time to write another blog, but all I have are links. I opened up internet explorer (You heard me!) because when I press ctrl+b in the window in which I am currently typing, it actually bolds, whereas in Firefox, it goes to bookmarks, or something. That's okay, though, I feel no remorse.
Anyway, I've decided to talk at you all about doing things on the spot, because that's what I am doing right now. First and foremost: Procrastination is good, contrary to popular 'facts'. By procrastinating, you can get finished with all of the unimportant things that would otherwise distract you from doing something productive. Although this may seem counter-productive, eventually you run out of exciting things to do, and have no choice but to do work, or sleep. Since doing work is so utterly boring, you sleep, and if it's early enough, you can catch up on sleep that you've been missing for the last week or so. See? Sure, you get yelled at, but you get yelled at while healthy. If you've been working hard, and putting off sleep, you're probably too tired to do a good job on whatever you were doing in the first place, so either way, you're in for a nasty scolding. Why not get scolded while being healthy? After all, you'll be more comprehensible when it's your turn to talk. You can say "Yes, I am sorry." instead of "Mneah.. Umm.. Srrrreh...... Yeah.." which results in not sounding like you're drunk. Do you really want to sound drunk while being scolded about producing a bad product? I didn't think so. Anyway, I hear health is popular these days, so give it a shot; sleep a little. If I had my English binder from highschool, I'd take a picture of some notes I took one day after an all-nighter. I can't even read them.
In other news: No, I still haven't met anybody at school yet, but I fear that the time may be nigh. Hopefully the time won't be an unpleasant one.
Now, for the moment you'd better have been waiting for.. (If you skipped past the stuff above, slap yourself for me.)
LINKS!
Oh, and BF2142 rap is still on hold, but I might have something creative to show the world in a couple more updates. 'Til then.. |

Stare a little.. (11/16/2006, 10:42 PM) |
|
Woah, centred.
I was sitting at my computer the other day, and decided to take off my shoes and socks, revealing something that wouldn't surprise me: My bare feet, and nothing more. I was feeling somewhat bored, and would end up staring blankly at things, so I decided I'd stare at my feet. It's pretty amazing that if you stare at something for long enough (Kind of like saying/hearing the same word over and over and over and over and over and over and over until it loses its meaning..) that you start to see it differently.
Give it a shot. Stare at your feet for 15 minutes, and then tell me that that you didn't think even once about them differently than before that 15 minutes started. I suppose it doesn't have to be your feet.. You could stare at something else if you were so inclined, but it's best to keep it to yourself. I hear that staring at other people has its consequences. You might get away with staring at their shoes, but seriously, you have a lot of things to stare at, so just.. Yeah. Maybe your hands, or your nose or something. Get a mirror for that, though, because focussing on your nose can give you a headache after a while. As for another rant..  This is cute, but the Earth spins counter-clockwise itself, so I think that would actually speed it up. Well.. If they were on the Northern hemisphere. By some potential statistics, most of the English speaking populous of the Earth is on the Northern hemisphere. As such, she would have to be on the Southern hemisphere, which is seriously lacking in land, and transportation costs would be pretty hefty. Even still, she would have to be on the Earth's magnetic South pole for most effectiveness. Otherwise her spinning would probably cause the Earth to rotate in a non-equatorial manner, which would royally screw things up. Furthermore, despite the spinning of the Earth, clocks operate independent of the spin of the Earth. It would just be slightly darker than expected.
... What an unfortunate waste of balance.
Time for links! I don't know if I'll be able to bear only posting 3 links per update, but I need to restrain myself.
Well, I know I said I'd put something else interesting here, but.. Well it'll have to wait until I think of something interesting. Until next time. |

Update to the max! (11/14/2006, 10:40 PM) |
|
First and foremost: BF2142 rap has gone on hold. My rapper hasn't gotten around to recording yet, so I guess I'll have to wait until that happens before finishing it off.
Second item of the <time interval of choice>: I forgot about my blog-thing.. Yes, that is why I haven't put anything here. I can't expect people to notice this, though, since I have no way of letting it be known that I've written something new, so let's just pretend that you aren't reading enough, so I lack motivation to write. Yes, that's definitely a good start. It's all your fault.
On to links and whatnot, because what's a blog without links to nifty stuff?
3 links per blog.. That sounds about nice for a standard. Or maybe I won't standardize that. Maybe I'll do something like a videogame review next time I write one of these blogs, or something neat, nifty, or <old word for 'cool'> that is regular, to give potential readers something to look forward to. Not now, though, I think I'd rather sleep than work right now. |

"You should make a blog." (11/01/2006, 07:28 AM) |
|
Hah! I already had one. Not that I use it.. It was recommended to me that if I want to show off videogame recordings, godlike feats, and other things that I feel are worth showing to people, that I should make a blog, and put it there. I'm not one to accept a suggestion and not follow through with it, even though I don't see how this will help. No harm in trying though. So without further ado.. Click here to see some Battlefield 2142 butt-kicking.. Or stabbing.. Not in the butt, necessarily. I'm sure there were a couple times, mostly in the back, or face.. In other news.. Upon being asked "Are you pending?" (Meaning: "Will you be buying Battlefield 2142?"), the following clip of a conversation occurred: j.shino: OHH I might be pending If I can be spendin' Haha Virus: :P j.shino: I dunno Virus: I sense a BF2142 rap! Yay cliffhanger. :O Until next time.
