A real update

I have not updated for awhile so I thought I’d post about… something.

The reason there have not been many updates is that I have slowed down in my programming of the game. Finding a good yet simple fighting system is not that easy. I ended up deciding to borrow the one from RPG Maker XP. But that is a lot of stats for each monster to keep track of. So I ended up starting another program entirely that will be used to help build the monster file. That was going fine till I simply got distracted by something else and never quite got around to it. I still do intend on finishing it though.

So, what else will I talk about? well random geekery I guess.

I once again have been surfing around for windows 7/ Vista gadgets for my desktop, and I found a Pandora one!

I assume you know what Pandora is, but just in case, it is a website that plays music it thinks you will like based off of songs you tell it to. Its not perfect, but it does work pretty well. only about 1 in 20 of the songs end up being duds for me. Luckily that is why they have the thumbs up and thumbs down on the bottom. Songs thumbed down do not get played again, ever.

This handy gadget allows you to listen to it on your desktop without visiting the website. It also does not have the annoying full video ads that pop up ever so often.

Also found a good Twitter gadget.

 

 

Now to talk about Christmas.

We being poor and busy with the moving, we have not really have the resources to buy each other gifts. But Dad and Grandma Dixie gave us money for our gifts so we were able to buy things for our selves.

I bought…

• Games via PSN
• PixelJunk Shooter
• A basic shooter control wise…
• But hugely different physics wise.
• Uses fluid physics, water and lava that flow, gas as well
• Elements  that interact with each other for puzzle solving.
• Little Big Planet: Pirates of the Caribbean Level Pack
• Fight the Kraken!
• Wipeout HD Fury add-on
• Not much to say, more of the same. but that is simply more AWESOME so I can live with that.
• Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman: What Did I Do to Deserve this?
• A very quirky PSP game that everyone should own.
• Comics, Also via PSN
• Atomic Robo 2
• What's not to love about this series?
• NeoZoic 2-3
• Its supposedly about what would happen if the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs missed earth and instead hit the moon
• Apparently the result would be that the dinosaurs would not really evolve that much and humans would develop normally as well.
• Lots of human against T-rex, sorry I mean Tigras, action.
• Marvel’s Runaways 1-2
• You may have noticed that this is the only comic that I bought the first issue on, that is because Marvel is the only company that does not offer its first issue for free on PSN
• Also the only ones to charge more than $0.99 an issue
• That said… Awesome series so far, if I did not run out of money I probably would have bout the other issues
• A 20$ set of ear buds since my last pair died recently.
