Couple old videos.

I figured that I needed to get these two videos up on youtube so I don't misplace or lose them at some point in time. I also have a few more videos but they will be rather difficult to capture. One is from Heretic 2 that the clan played for one weekend at a lan party and I would really like to get that up on yt as well. The first video is from about 1994 or 1995 and it is when I first switched to mouse/keyboard from Gravis gamepad for control. If you know what you're watching you can see my mistakes and also me not knowing my sensitivity but it is still rather fun to watch. The filename is gkvun.zip and you can search google gkvun.txt and find the information about this match. The person I was playing didn't want me to reveal his name since he was starting out like me and the match was pretty one sided. :D

The second video is a Quakeworld match at another local lan party with a few of us playing that tekk captured one time. This would probably be about 1998 in terms of time frame and these matches are what it was all about back in the day. I miss games like this and the fun that came along with everyone in game together. Even though we don't require lanning to play games like this nowadays, we sure could use some games *LIKE* Quake1 and Doom instead of the countlesss military fps titles, team based deathmatch and 'upgrades'. Everything gets in the way of deathmatch these days and it really needs to get back to the roots of the genre.

Battlefield 3

Looks like most of the clan has the game now that still plays online. We will all have to get a game together sometime soon, it should be really fun. The voice chat is a little bit hard to figure out if you're used to games in the past, I still can't find the settings for the voice. I think after you join a party that there will be voice settings that you can adjust there. I am using my Xbox 360 Headset for voice chat since I don't really have a good one to use otherwise. I played a little bit last night with Hazeus and had a fun time although my binds were messed up. I have those fixed now so I can finally zoom in, I just want to get voice setup now so we can actually communicate and help out more. The game doesn't offer regular public in game voice chat as far as I know. You have to party up prior or join someone's party in game to be able to voice chat with them. Anyway, hope to see you out on the battlefield!

wow

i never realized so many people had a negative outlook on my life. apparently i have been trying to meet a girl for the past 10 years and have only stayed on irc to expect as much. No. I have never been like that, I choose when I want to meet someone or be with a girl of my choosing. That doesn't mean it always works in my way, I have asked many girls many times before and have been shut down countlessly. I think when a girl likes you that she should immediately let that be known, and a lot of times girls would rather play games and make you WORK for what you are interested in or really like. I'm tired of the guy endlessly trying to gain approval but at the same time I don't fault that. You males of my generation are absolute scum. You are weak and pathetic, mindless and outnumbered by people who have actual intelligence in their life. The good guys will always be there for the people who care. I might be on a tangent but women and men alike, you don't have respect and a care for your fellow human being, fuck you. Seek help.

The amount of hateful people in this country is increasing.

I'm not quite sure why everyone in this country seems to think they walk on water, have red carpet strewn out before them anywhere they decide to wander off to or are just unreasonable/hateful in general. This is a friend of mine in one of the IRC channels we constantly talk in and I was absolutely shocked to find some disgusting fat sweat hog thinks that she has the right to get out of her joke of a car (prius) and come over and open her gigantic PIE PORTAL complete with obscenities in front of young children. I think I would have personally lost it and if I see situations like this arise anywhere in real life I'm just going to instantly call the police. We can't afford to have arrogance like this continue in this country. There are other people around us at all times on this planet and we're not some gift to the world. This woman obviously had some personal issues to begin with, it looks like it was a Prius driver's meet up or something in the parking lot there. Why was she parked there enjoying the 'quiet' anyway? If you want quiet you go to a library or stay in your hogfarm of a house that she most definitely lives in or around. Another funny thing is to listen to her complaints about the lack of mileage with the truck. Diesel engines have very good gas mileage along with a lot of torque to pull things like boats and other heavy equipment that might be required from living on a FARM that the author of this video explained to the BEHEMOTH. Try pulling a tree branch with that Prius, you'll make it probably 4 blocks before the battery is dead or the axle blows out from underneath the car.

The highlight of this video is when the fat sloth says to the author of the video that he's ignorant when it couldn't be any further from the truth. Get fucked fatty.

rip mom, 20 years :(

Superbrothers' Sword & Sworcery: Another One Bites the Dust.

I'm not sure why devs take pride or have an attitude regarding porting their apps/games to other mobile platforms. The only valid reason that I will accept is that the time/effort needed may or may not be worth the payoff if they were to port something. The game I'm talking about specifically is IOS's Sword & Sworcery. This game had me intrigued from the very beginning, although I know now I will never have a chance to play it since the developers aren't even interested in other platforms from what I can tell. I specifically remember reading their actual webpage with some snide remarks at the bottom regarding that it'd only be on ios. I also happened to catch this article in which one of the devs simply replies 'Nope!' It's as if they're proud that so few people are going to experience the game and that they enjoy people being upset that they can't enjoy the same product as ONLY the IOS users. What do they expect us to do, run out and buy an ipod just to have some of this content? Android seems to slowly but surely gaining decent content but it's still just not there. I blame every dev out there who hasn't ported or isn't in the process of at least ATTEMPTING to port their ios content to other platforms, mainly Android. Console gamers suffer every year from exclusives on one platform or the other and I find it particularly annoying. Most of those times the companies involved are being paid something for the exclusive, but here in the mobile world it doesn't work that way. These developers are CHOOSING one platform over the other because they must be fanboys deep down. Another developer that I won't put so harshly is the creator of Tiny Wings. Now this is only one person making this game, and yes Superbrothers are only a couple if not a handful of people. If you're a developer and don't like a platform in one way or another just say it, don't sit there like some arrogant child holding the cookie jar from the other kids like you're important to the rest of the world. You aren't, your content will be forgotten, and the less people you let experience your creations, the more of a low life you are if you are doing it only for fanboyish reasons. diaf

Apple with their same old bullshit.

I see today now Apple is suing HTC again at this point in hopes of stopping their sales and imports entirely. I just have to say at this point, if you're still buying products from Apple and supporting this company in any way, then you are doing your part to continue support of incorrect and outdated patent laws, bullying businesses into giving out money for absolutely no reason at all, unfair business practices and more. Companies like Apple and Microsoft are always doing this in the courts. The iPhone was not a unique design, Palm had been designing slab like PDA's for years prior to the iPhone or iPod. Same with HTC, they were designing tablet products years prior to anything Apple had at all. I don't see how people can even defend a company like Apple when they continue to just follow along and haven't innovated with much since the iPad or iPod/iPhone. Trying to scare companies into not making products, specifically Android products is a very, very shameful thing to do and I'm sure some at Apple do not agree with it but simply have no power or say to change anything about it. Competition is always good for the CONSUMERS as better things come out all the time, and the main key about all this would be *CHOICE*. We don't want ONE phone for all, we want specific products catered to specific needs of the user. This has to be put to an end at some point or our laws have to be corrected in order to keep companies like Apple in line. I am ashamed an American company this size can keep acting this way over all the years they've been in business and still have supporters of their products. There is no logical way to defend any of their actions, they are not protecting innovative designs or anything specific they came up with; you cannot or rather should not be able to patent ideas like 'swipe finger left to right to unlock the lockscreen' and other nonsense. It almost vaguely reminds me of when Amazon tried or did patent the one click checkout, I'm not sure how the results came out on this one.

It would sure be nice to live in a world that wasn't totally ruled by money, I sometimes feel I would have been better off if I lived during the 1800s or something out in the Wild West, but then I'd probably have been killed in some Saloon shootout or something.

Apple, Microsoft and any other companies using their pool of generic patent portfolios should die in a fire and that is all.
