Glitchy Modern Warfare 2 Gets Slammed

3032270 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:35:01 GMT

Half Billion In Sales Won’t Save The Fails

"A backlash has already started against the game for its poor design and incomprehensible content. Some criticize it for its gratuitous violence that serves no purpose. Others point out the numerous technical glitches, including sections where the designers forgot to give the opponents weapons! There’s even a forgotten, loose end in the plot where you seek a nuclear bomb, but once you find it, it blows up and destroys humanity! From purely an aesthetic perspective, the game has a poorly rendered color scheme. All those browns and grays blend together so it’s hard to tell what’s going on. Frankly, the colors aren’t bright enough. The shaky movement of the action is sure to give you a headache. From one frame to the next, the screen jumps and jags around. The design feels rushed, as if its creators spent no time making it seamless and level. This addictive toy is sure to give your son carpal tunnel due to the massive amount of jerking motions he is required to make with his hands, yanking and thrusting and slapping his little hands around in some obscene frenzy."

"Content-wise, Modern Warfare 2 doesn’t fare much better. How is this story line of violence any different than every video game that has come before starting with Ms. Pac Man? At least Ms. Pac Man had an engaging and plausible plot behind it. This silly game glorifies terrorism. It is inhumane and insensitive, a highly-dangerous influence on children and will surely be blamed for murder in the near future. It is truly a sin to glorify and give money to a corporation that profits from the lowest of human desires. Not only that, but this game gives children the false notion that they are intensely muscled heroes in gorgeous fatigues, sweating like a man as they romp through dark streets with only the warm breath of their fellow soldiers to give them solace on a lonely night. "

“I felt sick to my stomach and I was frightened. People are screaming, there’s blood splattering all over the screen. It is absolutely awful. I sat there with my son, who’s 15, and he was covering his eyes and crying” — Jennifer Hughes, Mother, describing playing Modern Warfare 2.

More Magic Tricks for iPhone/iTouch

1207528 — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:04:33 GMT

I released a series of really cool magic trick tutorial videos for iPhone / iPod Touch.

Some were created by me, others were inspired from identical effects seen today in professional magician's routines such as Criss Angel and David Blaine, all of them are professionally done.

Each app includes performance videos of all the others, so you can downoad the free ones and check out the rest.

Here's a link to some YouTube videos of the tricks.

And here's where you can download one of them for free.

I'd be interested to hear what you think. Again, my only request is please do not post the secrets if you download them or figure them out. :)

Upper Deck lost the lawsuit

3032437 — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:14:16 GMT

So, what is going to become of the WoW tcg, now that UDE lost it's contract or whatever with konami? Guess WoW TCG is pretty much screwed. Then I heard rumors of Wizards trying to get a hold of WoW TCG. Whatever, I think WoW is going down the drain imho. WoW TCG will either die or Wizards will pick it up and make it just like magic with a new block every 2 years, idk about you all but that makes wanna quit playing WoW tcg altogether.

by Stephen Billings, christian journalist

"Your children have plugged their brains and your credit cards into video game consoles for constant play and have become so whacked out they sometimes die from lack of food and water (horrible World of Warcraft story here). Morality has no implications in this flat screen fantasia. Sharp colors and quick movement like you find in Grand Theft Auto make these couch potatoes feel as if they’re really moving through life at a brisk pace while in reality growing obese. It makes them feel important, as if they’re achieving something, while their textbooks sit unopened on nearby desks. It sucks up hours upon hours when these children could be learning business or engineering."

any1 here knows about lockerz.com ?

1479898 — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:41:43 GMT

hey guys,

just wanted to know are there any lockerz.com users here and what are your oppinions on that site.

There's this nice site called lockerz.com where you can get free stuff... WAIT WAIT don't press "back"! it's not "one of those "free" sites". basiclly you login to the site, answer a daily question get your friends to join and you get points. for those points you can get electronics, brands or donate to charity if you are a good-hearted lad. the good thing is it's quite easy to rack up those points and you won't be paying like 256852452 pt. for an IPOD there are only 3 ways to get ptz (pointz/points it's called ptz. on the site). those ways are loging in, answering daily question, and inviting friends. but when the site will fully launch there will be much more ways. the site is legit because it is owned, if im not mistaken, by on of the CEO of amazon.com
and for the people that aren't lockerz members yet, you can drop down your email here(the site doesn't spam your mail) or PM it to me and i'll give you an invite. it's free after all :)

Image Not Available ?

1426920 — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 21:37:59 GMT

I thought this would be a common question so I searched for it be it apparently is not.

I'm using firefox and all images of cards (except newer cards, like the Fires of Outland preview cards) appear as "Image Not Available" images when I try to look at them on this website. Any ideas? They look fine if I use IE but I'm not much a fan of IE.

Hog og War!

2593882 — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:09:33 GMT

It just dawned on me that if the Hulk had access to fog of war or just happened to be fighting in a setting where he could not be seen from a distnace (god knows he is to enraged to hide once in a while) things could be very, very, very, BAD! How can some one like Spider man hope to deal with this guy if he can't keep his distance. Basically the only thing that would be able to contain him is the fog itself. Just saying...........

Why do we get taxed.....

2324505 — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:34:02 GMT

Why do we get taxed on tournament winnings? Also do we only get taxed on the parts only with $ in it or on other stuff we win too like ipods and so forth?

Beer and Coding Update 9-22-09

1536599 — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:24:02 GMT

***UPDATE 9/22/2009***

The Beer App hit 100 breweries and 1000+ beers.

Beer Locator function has been added to the Beer App

3 Brewers have responded to the Penultimate Beer Survey

The Beer Locator is now working. If a beer has any known locations there is an option at the bottom of the Information Page to find locations near you. You can enter an address and see locations within 25 miles that sell/serve the beer. It also has the price and container style (22oz. bomber, 6 pack of 12oz. bottles, pint, etc). All locations are also clickable links that return a list of all beer at the location.

Currently, there are only a few beers with locations around the Eugene, OR area. If you would like to see the locator work, search for one of these beers and put 'Eugene, OR' or '97401' in the address box.

Total Domination
Believer
Radiant
Watershed
Oakshire Amber
Overcast

One last thing. I am working on user logins right now. I haven't got the rating system in place, but once logins are working, you will be able to add beers/breweries, add locatins and map beers to locations. I will be handing out logins to 100 or so people in a week or two who would like to be beta testers.

When I am ready to start the beta, I will post here with an e-mail address where you can get a beta invite.

As always, I am looking for suggestions on ways to improve the Beer App. I am also looking for a name for the Beer App; I may turn it into a contest. You can leave name ideas and suggestions here.

Cheers!
Kevin

***UPDATE 9/12/2009***

Quick update.

Yesterday the Beer App hit 800 entries. These 800 entries span 80 breweries in 26 states. Results are now shown in blocks of 20 with "next" and "previous" buttons where appropriate. Also, the Penultimate Beer Survey has had 3 responses so far:

Matt Van Wyk - Oakshire Brewing

Fred Colby - Laughing Dog Brewing

Ben Love - Hopworks Urban Brewery

Cheers!
Kevin

***UPDATE 9/9/2009***

I have started the Beer and Coding in Eugene's Penultimate Beer Survey. It is a 20 question survey I am sending out to members of the craft brew community. I am posting responses on my site as they arrive. Matt Van Wyk at Oakshire Brewing was kind enough to return the first survey. His answers have been posted.

Also, last night the 400th entry was entered into the Beer App. I am still hard at work getting the user logins set up. Before that I will need to add another feature. I need to enabled paged results. Some of the searches now return 50+ results, so I am implementing 20 results per page with "next" and "back" buttons. This should be done by this weekend.

Cheers!
Kevin

***UPDATE 9/4/2009***

This is just a quick update. The Advanced Search option in the Beer App is now working correctly. Advanced Search currently lets you seach by:
Beer Name
Brewery Name
ABV
IBU (on the ones where I could find the info)
Style (amber, stout, etc)
Sub-style (espresso, oatmeal, etc)
Availability (winter, spring, year round, etc)
Serving Type (on tap, bottled)

By the end of the weekend, I hope to have the searching complete. I will be adding City, State/Province and Country as search criteria. I will also be creating a new Serving Type table. This will expand the options to include 12oz 6-pack, 22oz bottle, on tap, growler, etc. I will also be moving "organic" from a sub style to a flag and adding a "retired" flag. Both of these will be searchable.

I am hard at work creating the user login section. Until it is finished and you are allowed to add your own entried, I will continue adding breweries/beers myself. Currently the following breweries have been entered:
Ninkasi
Oakshire
Deschutes
New Belgium
Lost Coast
North Coast
Dogfish Head
Rogue
Eugene City Brewery
Terminal Gravity
21st Amendment
Oskar Blues

This list is increasing constantly.

If anyone has any recommendations, let me know. I am trying to make the interface as easy to use as possible.

Cheers!
Kevin

***UPDATE 9/2/2009***

I just wanted to let everyone know that stage 1 of my Beer App is up and running. At this point, you can search for a beer by beer name, brewery or both. There are only a couple breweries indexed, but I am adding more throughout the week. By the end of this weekend, the Beer Information page should be displaying IBUs. I should also have the "Advanced Search" working by then. The advanced option will enable you to search and filter by an piece of information instead of just name and brewery.

Since it is going to be impossible for me to index every beer in the world myself, I am hard at work on stage 2; user accounts and content submissions. When stage 2 is complete, you will be able to create an account and contribute beer/brewery listings. This one might take a little while. In addition to the task of creating user accounts, I am also determining how I want to assign rights based on valid contributions. The system I have in mind right now will give each user X contibution points per day (with a hard cap, so they don't increase indefinitely). These points can be spent to add beer and brewery entries. As you contribute, your user rating increases. When your user rating is high enough, you will be able to flag other entries. Entries can be flagged as having "incorrect information" or "duplicate information". A cronjob (automated task) will run every night that corrects posts that have received enough flags. If a post you flagged is removed/corrected, your user rating increases and you are rewarded some more points. If one of your entries is flagged and removed, your rating goes down. Your rating at the time you contributed an entry will determine how many flags it takes to remove it. Like I said; this is a bit of work, so it may take a while.

After that, step three is the rating system. Step four is the itegration with Google maps to let you map where a beer is available.

If any of you guys/gals have suggestions, I appreciate the feed back. You can either leave a post here, or send an e-mail to the address on my site. Thanks again for the support.

Cheers!
Kevin

**************************************************************************

Hey all.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my website is now live (link in signature). It is a blog about the two things that monopolize most of my time; drinking beer and writing code. On the beer side; posts will cover reviews, interviews with people in the craft brew industry, and information about beercentric festivals and fund raisers. On the coding side; you will find information about developments in the homebrew scene, reviews of various technology I leverage either at work on on my site, and a walkthough of the development cycle as I create my site's beer app. There will inevitably be some complaining about PCI compliancy. I am a retail programmer and much of my time is being spent getting the company I work for ready for their first independent PCI audit next year.

The beer app is a community driven web app for finding information about beer. It will use a chess-like rating system where users can compare beers. Users will be able to create accounts and track/compare their own preferences to those of the community. It will also use Google Maps to allow users to flag where they found a particular beer. Other users who want to try that beer can ask for the closest location.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave them here, or on my site.
