Does it have anything to do with Formula 1? (Odds are about 5000:1 right? )

Alas, no.

 

Am I in it though?

Alas, no.

 

Can you tell us when you're planning on releasing this at least? B)

 

Hey, posting this blog entry is more commitment than I want to give to anything right now. You'll know when I know.

Ok cool, I comlpletely understand.... *looks at unfinished game*

I feel like I'm in a minority of people who still buy music on CD. I invariably rip them to my computer, but I like that physical package, the sense of permanence. I'm also a sucker for box sets and special editions because I love all the extras that always come along with them.

I am right there with you. Knowing that you have the official CD for something just makes it that more awesome when you're listening to it. I guess it's just that feeling you get when you know that you now own something entirely.... Like paying off a car or something.

I don't think you can say some music is 'better' or 'worse' than any other music, within reason. I have listened to more modern stuff and personally feel like it's either emotionally flat or simply derivative of the classic rock I enjoy so much. I'm sure there are exceptions; I just haven't found many yet.

The only two bands and songs I have heard music from and remotely like from the "Modern Era" (Assuming that this is like 1995-present day) are "Calling All You Angels" by Train, and "Fire" by Kasabian. I have to admit I like Train a little better, but I have been listening to some of Kasabian's music and it sounds like something from the 80s instead of something present day and is growing on me a bit. The problem with this though is, I turn anything on from the “Classic Era” (Pink Floyd, Wings, Bryan Adams, ZZ Top, Bad Company, The Eagles, Don Henley, Creedence Clearwater revival, and Golden Earring are just a few bands that I like in no particular order) and I feel instantly like myself again.

The key part for any music though, is if it something that I can listen to (let's face it is the whole point of music) for than 30 consecutive seconds, it's good music in my opinion. Most modern music I hear I can only tolerate for a minute or so before I have to shut it off.

My password has 27 characters, upper and lower case, words and jumbled letters, numbers, and non-QWERTY symbols. I would say it takes longer than the universe has existed to hack it.

Ditto.

How on Earth do you remember that?!

Easy! You just have it in a notepad document and hit "Copy and Paste".

But then I have to drive to the post office all the time, and they close at 4PM, which is before I get our of work. Makes it hard to get your mail that way.

I believe most of the mail places keep the doors open through a key code (At least UPS place near us does) so customers can get their mail at the PO box, regardless of the time. Hopefully this is the same case at the PO near you (Never hurts to ask em' ).

I was just doing the same thing the other day to make sprites for me and my brother's game... Except with Bionicle figures.

When it comes to modeling things for a game though, Lego is the way to go. See?

Very nice stuff though.

Color tattoos become ugly blobs of colored, wrinkly skin when you're old. Black and white tattoos become ugly blobs gray wrinkly skin when you're old. Personally, I wouldn't want a blob of colored or gray wrinkly ugly skin when I'm old. That's the reason why I'm never going to get a tattoo.

Ditto. They're a bad a idea and not really worth the money in my opinion.

But of course. We'll call it a joint mission, then.

 

However in the interest of keeping this debate going, might I direct you to the story of the Avro Arrow: the best fighter plane of the 1950s. Who's to say that they didn't secretly keep the project going?

Because they use these bad boys now.

Let me remind you all that most countries in the world wouldn't even have an airforce if it wasn't for the likes of companies known as Lockheed-Martin Skunk Works, Boeing Aerospace, McDonnell Douglas, Northrop Grumman Corporation, General Dynamics, and General Electric. All of them of course were formed in the United States of America and build the most modern and most sophisticated aircraft in the world like the F-16, F-22, FA-18 Hornet, F-15 Eagle, and the AC-130/C-130 Hercules. Some of these are sent to our allies, like the Canadians, so they can help Santa and Rudolph navigate the cold winter night by using an array of stealth and night vision technologies, also developed in the US.

This is mainly why I miss those options of "Gore and Blood" and "No Gore and Blood."

 

Call of duty World at War had this in it, and I loved it.

 

Something else to consider. Have games gotten more violent or has the technology with which we render the violence become more sophisticated?

I can asure you it's not the technology, because DOOM (the first FPS ever I believe) had mass amounts of gore and blood in it, and it came out in 1992. Compared to other modern games, DOOM is WAY outdated.

 

Wolfenstein 3-D, was one of the first (1992). Doom was 1993. But they both came from Id, so either way. [/Nerd]

 

I like blood and gore in my games, just as long as it isn't over done. Shotguns, RPGs, certain Sniper Rifles, and grenades are understandable. But pistols and SMGs should not be equal to M82s in the gore department (I'm looking at you Gears). Assault Rifles depend on what type of bullet.

I should know that cosidering me and my brother are using the bloody game engine to make our own Bionicle style of one. But yeah, give or take I guess. Thanks for correcting .

But yeah, gore is needed only when it needs to be there. If you're making a combat simulator, than yeah, dempending on the bullet and weapons people should get gibed because, well, it wouldn't be a simulator if they didn't.

Would be ok if we exchange MSN addresses? Because I've got a lot cool stuff for our game (Videos, demos, etc.) that I don't have any sites I could host it at.

You can always send me an email - andrew@bzpower.com.

I forgot about that.
