I'm twenty six today! Thanks TWHL for being so 4w350m3! ! ! Such a warm and cozy community. TWHL is like a cardboard box with a bunch of fuzzy kittens in it.
I keep coming up with all these ideas on how a certain game could be so much better. Game mechanics, GUI, anything. I kept thinking there had to be a way to somehow hack the game and throw in all that stuff. Then I realised it was almost like a new version of the game, rather than just a handful of fixes. Then I realised I never did anything resembling game coding and I have no idea how to actually do any of it.
How lame.
How lame.
Doctor Amazing here, coming back for one time to say...

Light, without it we wouldn't be able to see. And so it is in videogames. Lights are fundamental, every game have some sort of light, if ever so simple. In todays 3D games, there need to be some way to compute lighting data within 3D space, as volumetricaly most of the light eixst outside of a 2D face where the light is visible. How does the lighting really work in the GoldSrc engine? Does anyone know except for Valve themselves?
This is my theory on how it works:
Of course I can't be sure... But anyone should know.
This is my theory on how it works:
I don't really know why I'm doing this.
If you can't figure out what I'm doing from that, its a WIP texture pack using various sprites from NES games.
For those curious:
Kid Icarus - dirt, iron door (the one on the right)
Super Mario Bros. - granite, daisies, mushrooms, andesite
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - grass (and tall grass), oak logs + leaves (those closest trees), sand (not pictured)
Faxanadu - oak door (the one on the left), potions (not pictured)
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - stone (+ ores)
And a bunch others not yet significant enough to be pictured.
Faxanadu especially will get more. It's too good not to.
EDIT: Caves are a lot more colourful now =3
Not happy with iron ore (the purple-blue blocks at the back), but Simon's Quest doesn't have any blocks with a colour quite fitting enough.
EDIT: Liquids! I was tinkering with water, trying to get it to look any good and accidentally made it look cool.
That's the water from the overworld of Zelda II and the lava from the Heat Man stage of Mega Man 2, with the palettes altered to match. Lava is much the same.

i will not let you to cut me!
I have a new little friend:
She doesn't have a name yet. Unfortunately my family don't seem enthusiastic about my idea to call her Reginald.
I'm five years old today!
I MADE A THING. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE THING!

So, yeah. I've just made a gaming build on a famous italian website, and I would like to have some feedback from you guys, because this could be my future PC.
For your info, I want it to be good for both gaming and 3D rendering.
Here we go:
The price isn't that much imho. But anyway, leave your thoughts and suggestions please. :3

So Invert-x is properly back, which means an obligatory journal entry to advertise that fact.
Invert-x, if you don't know, is a joint project between Penguinboy and myself in the form of a op-ed website for games and gaming concepts. We write articles about games and concepts we're interested in.
Until recently, we concentrated purely on the gaming world with our 'duelling article' layout (in which we posted an article each on the same topic, which would display on the same page, side by side). Since the redesign, we are expanding the types of articles we post and also expanding into films.
This redesign was a very, very long time coming. It necessitated the move to a new platform (we built the theme from scratch on Wordpress - nothing was salvaged from the previous version, aside from article content) and also introduced a complete overhaul for the Invert-x brand.
We're still working through some kinks and bugs (Wordpress can be mind-boggling at times), but we're pretty pleased at what we've got going so far. Pebs and I have a pile of new content in planning that we're itching to get going.
We're not gaming or film journalists and we never will be: we just write about things we find interesting.
Check out Invert-x.

I now have my Bachelors degree!
Today, 12/16/2014 I took my last final of my Bachelors degree for Electronics Engineering Technology. It was a simple networking course to end it all. A nice relaxing final semester to end a hectic journey.
Through it all I wrote a book, made an automatic beer bottle opener, was one of the youngest inductees into the Adult Education Honor Society, consumed countless gallons of coffee, countless more gallons of beer, and gained valuable years of work experience.
Next stop: who knows.
