Shakespeare Sucks

So, um, I got a question for you all.   What do you say to someone who's just said that? How should one respond? I... got nothin'. Well, nothing civilized anyway.

Graphics Card Survey

Hi guys. I'm developing a 3D RPG and it would help me greatly if I had an idea of the types of graphics cards people use. See, I'm trying to see if the models and meshes I have now will be suitable with their polygon counts, or if I need to make adjustments. It all depends on the hardware though.   For Windows users, you should be able to find your graphics card by going to your Desktop, right-clicking on the background and choosing Properties, and then clicking on the Settings tab. It should

Something Small

Haven't been here in awhile...   For those of you who don't know, I'm working on a 3D Action RPG called The Legend of Mata Zuto - Episode 3: Influx (or Influx for short ). I've released a few teasers and have a slew of 3D models ready to use in the game, but up until now I haven't released any movies.   6 seconds - and you should be glad you're getting that! The AI and the Physics still need to be tweaked a little, because after those 6 seconds, the blue Throwbot (yes, that's a Throwbot) star

This is a good week

Man, so many good things this week: BZPRPG 2012 arc is finally over I'm working on fan games again Found at that the BZPRPG staff will likely be rolling deep at Brickfair VA (yes, I'll be attending this year). I scheduled a video interview with Google yesterday Found out today that I'll be moving to Austin, home of Rooster Teeth, Bats, Brick Fiesta (sometimes), and "Austin Java" (don't know much about that) because I accepted a job offer there. I'm still doing the Google Interview though; j

I Have A Temptation

... to caption Andrew's picture. It's clearly begging for it! Unfortunately, I don't think I'm witty enough. Regardless, I imagine someone will eventually.

No More Majhost And Brickshelf

... for me at least. I'm uploading my pictures to my own site from now on. Unfortunately, that still doesn't help the fact that about 7 years of nostalgia may be lost in those accounts forever. Oh well.

'friday'

Hardly the worst song ever. All who say so either aren't BIONICLE fans or are ex-fans who dropped out before 2006.   *cue slew of comments referencing songs even worse than Piraka Rap*

How Well Do You Know Me? AMA!

I had considered starting this on my membership anniversary, but decided that no one really does these anymore.   This is why I'm not in the stock market.   Anyway, you know the drill? What is something you've always wanted to know about me? Ask away!

Starstruck

Okay, so she didn't sing Creeping in my Soul, but Rooster Teeth's Barbara Dunkelman does do the voice of Yang on RWBY. She's really nice and down to earth, even given the fact that she the RT community manager -- she's really good at what she does.   Photo was taken just this afternoon.

Devlog #1: A New Frontier

Welcome to the first entry of my Devlog. In this issue, I'm going to introduce the software I'm using to create the new version of Mata Zuto 2: The Infestation:   When I first joined in Summer 2002, the first topic I posted in was Flow of the River, the very first fan-created game on BZPower. That Digital RPG was created with a simple and primitive Windows application called "RPG Maker 95", released in 1997 by ASCII (currently called Enterbrain). Now, there are 4 other programs made by this com

In Case You Haven't Heard

I will be attending Brickfair in two weeks, from Friday to Sunday (I leave Monday morning). I look forward to putting many names to faces, as well as seeing Chantilly set the bar on LEGO conventions once again.   You will likely find me either with Black Six's crew or the BZPRPG crew, or both, if we merge, haha. I hope to meet everyone who's attending sometime that weekend!

Is it just me?

Or is getting a separate google+ page / youtube account a lot more complex than it needs to be?   I felt like I was going around in circles, turns out there's an option right there on the left side of google+   Well, between website, youtube, and google+ page, I'm poised to begin marketing Power Lies Beneath when the time comes.   Man, that took a lot longer than it needed too.   *Also there might be another google account floating about now...

So I'm in Stockholm Now

Why are people here so well-dressed?? Or maybe I'm just a sucker for the whole slim-winter-coat-and-scarf look.   This is the last night of my vacation though. Tomorrow I fly back to the states. It's really fun though. My Instagram only tells a very small story.   It's too bad I won't be doing something like this again for a long time (if ever), but hey -- that's kinda the point right? Once is better than never.

So, What's Up?

Not much has changed in Emzeeland. I'm still in school, for one. In fact, I'm taking two summer courses because I'm behind. There's the Electromagnetism (Physics) class (with its lab as well), and Linear Algebra. I really don't know how to describe Linear Algebra other than "an alternative way of playing with numbers". You take this after Calculus I, but the subject itself isn't really based on Calculus. Like I said, it's a different way of working with numbers completely.   Money is still tig

Am I a Wimp

I got a pretty nasty cold from being outside too long in a temperature that wasn't cold enough to even be able to snow in, last week. It kinda sucks, but these sicknesses help with the immune system don't they? And maybe I'll avoid situations where I have to stand outside for a long time.   I should point out that this is, of course, a south Texas winter; it couldn't have been colder than ~40 degrees. My body's just not used to prolonged periods of that temperature though.   It's gonna suck wh

This Is Probably A Dumb Question...

... but do shadows expand or contract when the character is off the ground? I thought they contracted... but Unity is making me second-guess it, by having its default blob shadow expand.   And no, I can't just go outside and see because it's the month of January, and January in north Texas = no sun.

The Son Of The Toa

Soon after the victory over Makuta, the six Toa Mata were killed by a creature named Shadows. A single Toa called Tahkan was sent to defeat him, but he was only one Toa. Tahkan was advised to instruct his apprentice on the ways of the Toa, in both mental and physical form, and he chose a young Matoran named Matev. Together, they travelled the island in a desperate quest to hunt down Shadows, and after much traveling, Tahkan and Matev became very close. Tahkan eventually began calling Matev his '

He Speaks

Hi everyone. Remember me?   I'm still a bit exhausted from exams and my senior design project. To get you guys up to speed, this is my last semester for my undergrad degree in Software Engineering. This was my most difficult semester (admittedly due to bad planning), but the good side is that I get to start my full time job this summer.   I know what would typically post in all caps or use a thousand exclamation points at this news, but I'm not finished yet. Classes are over, but some hiccups in

Are U Busy?

Me in my friends down in Cyan Productions would like some additional pixel artists so that we can undergo a project to improve the graphics quality of many of our games. The only requirement is that you draw them in a certain style (I'll show you what that is once you're hired), and you obviously have to be good at low-res pixel work.   So if you have nothing better to do, drop me a line!

New Car!

Item by item, I'm getting the things that I require in order to lead a rather stable life.   Life in San Antonio has been different... way different than I had expected. Work is work and will always be work, and I'm still getting used to my shorter evenings.   The most recent item in my list of things I need is a new car. My old one looked okay, 2003 Ford Taurus, but it wasn't dependable. Going to work every morning was like playing a game of Russian roulette with being late. Had that not been a
