  • I made a game in Blender when it had the game engine built in. It worked great for a while. Then, when I updated to Windows 8.1 from 7, it stopped working entirely. Then, it started working again with Windows 10, but the colors were all messed up. And inexplicably, it works like new again. It’s 4:3 ratio because that’s what my monitor was at the time. Holy moly that was longer ago than I thought…

    You shoot toxic waste at the sun by pressing space. You dodge it (you are the sun) with WASD. If the toxic waste collides, you get points. Risk-reward kinda thing. The more you press space, the more toxic waste is flying around, the more collisions, but harder to dodge.

    There are three rounds that are exactly as long as the songs I chose as background music that I wrote years before I made the game. Haha!

    There’s an awesome secret level that I probably should have made easier to get to. Just play through the game and don’t press space. Haha!




  • Not my workplace exactly, but I used to hang out with this Kiwi who worked as a foreign English teacher in Korea in the same small Korean city as me. The foreigner community was fairly close-knit because there was only 50ish of us.

    We all knew him. Everyone liked him. Fun guy. A little weird sometimes. He never told anyone his last name. The end of his pinkie finger was missing and if you asked him about it, he always said a shark bit it off.

    One vacation about two years into his tenure, he decided to take a trip to Las Vegas. He never came back. I’m not 100% on the details past this point, but what I heard was they stopped him from entering the US because he was wanted in New Zealand on 37 counts of distributing child pornography. He was basically extradited back there and as far as I know went to prison. His trail disappears there.





  • I’d like to thank this thread for reminding me to check out some new music. Just today, I have discovered MJ Lenderman and Still House Plants who both seem to be doing some cool stuff that’s right up my alley. There’s a new Mogwai track released a few days back and Sumac just released an amazing sludge metal album, even though I’m not really into sludge, it might convert me. A quick few image searches shows me that none of them are particularly attractive. Music has always been, and always will be awesome regardless of the physical appeal of the lead singers.
