Update Followup: Deadline
I’ll finish the Beginning C++ guide and all projects by Tuesday, February 15th. For sure. Why that day? Because Marvel vs Capcom 3 comes out that day.
You do the math.

Productivity Update: Feeling C++'d~
I’ve got the UDK now and tutorials and guides and all kinds of shit on using it as I eventually plan on doing so, but I was chatting with a friend over in Carnegie Melon and he was saying to go learn actual programming first. This is all paraphrasing, but he also recommended I start with flash or game maker, the latter of which I also downloaded. Flash costs money, so I might avoid that for...

How do you Organize your Music Playlists?
I always make the one for like my favorites or what ever, stuff I like singing, blah blah the obvious stuff, but what about for all the rest of your music? Do you… just shuffle your whole library and skip stuff you don’t like at the moment? ‘Cause I like to turn to a certain playlist and have the music I feel like come out constantly. I use iTunes, so I setup a playlist folder...
Blindly Forth We Go
Well, I go, anyways. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do about the whole career thing, and being prepared and all this and that, and came up with nothing. I don’t really know what to do, or how to do it, or… anything, I don’t have much grasp on the situation, so instead of thinking I’m doing the exact opposite! Doing.
I went and downloaded the Unreal...

As a game designer, you don't need programming do you?
But regardless, I just wanted to say, don't give up on your ideas. Everything else there are tutorials for. But ideas..that's the hard part that not everyone is capable of. Most people don't really understand how much time and effort the idea part...

The Carrot on the End of the Stick
I imagine everyone in the universe has a cumbersome rod protruding from their backside and over their head from which dangles the things they want most in life in front of them. Everyone I ever see; that guy driving and talking on the cell phone (later crashing and flipping off the freeway in a massive explosion, don’t drive and talk on the phone), that lady walking her dog, that guy in the...

European Magazine Confirms Sentinel, Hsien-Ko,...
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/jan/26/image-shows-sentinel-marvel-vs-capcom-3/
Sad days, looks like Sentinel is in the game. No idea why, Capcom KNOWS that Mags/Sent/Storm were the most unbalanced, over powered team in MvC2 for the better part of a fucking decade, but they kept him anyways. I don’t know of anyone that LIKES Sentinel, only people that want to win. I would’ve liked...

A Dungeon Crawler with some PERSONALITY for Once
Magicka has stolen my heart, I freaking love this crazy ass game. Combine any of eight elements together to make different spells (with no mana limit, awesome) and cast them directly, AoE or enchant your sword with them. The gameplay is inventive and fun and the story is fucking hilarious (as are the achievements). It has 4 player online co-op. If you’re a Steam user, give this game a try....

Assist OK!
I’m gettin’ pretty psyched for MvC3. PRETTY psyched. A recent review says there’s 40 squares on the final character select screen with two obviously reserved for Jill and Shuma-Gorath. That means we’ve got room for two more characters, and two more DLC.
According to the achievements there’s an achievement stated “Make a team composed of those who dwell in the...

Memory is the Key
Amazing writing is laughing through 100 episodes, but still caring enough to be sad at the end when the only thing that ever mattered to him is gone.
Amazing writing is another 60 episodes of laughter, and still at the end of it all only one thing ever mattered is out of his reach.
There’s just nothing better than amazing writing. There’s just nothing better than Red vs. Blue.

“What in Betty’s bloomers is on the radio now? It sounds like the feral cry...”
– Sarge, Red vs. Blue: Blood Gulch Chronicles S.2 I love Season 2 because Donut and Sarge find their characters, and Sarge has some of his BEST lines! “What in buttery goodness!?”

Female Archetypes
Okay, disclaimer: I’m very aware specific situations change archetypes and make them more relative and specific to what ever sort of environment they show up in.
Ever watched Castle? How about Ghost in the Shell: SAC? Perhaps you’ve seen Red vs. Blue? I’m pretty sure Beckett, Motoko and Tex are of this uncommon strong-willed leader type woman with a secretive personal life. I...

Chatversations
Anyone who knows me has heard me say something along the lines of “I wish I had a stenographer to follow me around all day.” I know some fantastic people with whom I have fantastic conversations, and I can never remember everything that was said, it’s a bit saddening.
As such, I love meeting in real life, for sure, and I love talking conversations because I’m one of those...

Matchmaking Infection: How Could it NOT be Fun?
Infection in Halo: Reach is such a fantastic game type, ESPECIALLY the way it works in Matchmaking. I can’t wait until I see that Infection on Sword Base, that’s my favorite. As a human, right when the game starts, I go straight to that ledge- you know the one I mean, and make excellent use of my pistol. That way, I can rack up headshots and all the zombies just line up for me!...

Am I Happy?
Everyone has a different standard of living. Even people living… a couple meters from each other, even, they have a different standard of living. Some people need different things to be happy. Need, not want, need. The idea that happiness isn’t a need is pretty ridiculous. Sure you can go without it for longer than food or water, but if you don’t get it then in what sense are you...

Bulletstorm sure has Balls- and Hotdogs
A few years back, Bungie released a fantastic trailer depicting several photos of a Halo-themed diorama. The diorama told the story of a battle unfolding, presumably for the fate of what-ever Master Chief is constantly fighting for, probably the human race, at the end of which he’s shown in this incredibly dramatic pose. So dramatic. At the time, it was a pretty fantastic trailer, I loved...

Oh, Right... I have a Tumblr
Kinda’ forgot about this for a while. WOOPSIES. I’ll go back to using it. In the mean time, I’ve since this year started working with a site known as http://www.xblafans.com/ as a staff writer. Yaaay. It’s a site focused around XBLA titles as well as some XBLIG stuff. Either way, I just finished my first review for them! Woot. I plan to start previewing/testing my other...
