8月31日 Time to Update, Lets Vent... Stupid LandlordsWell, today i had an inspection of my apartment (second in a 2 month period), which went fine, of course, hell i barely have people come over. While my landlord was there though she dropped pretty major bombs on me though;
Needless to say, I am now in the market for a new place, and will either give my 30 days notice either tommorow or at the begining of october. I will not put up with this crap anymore. I really cant afford a rent increase, but if it has to happen, it will be somewhere else. At a 10 percent increase that would then be $440 a month when I get $856 a month in income. At that rate i am better off renting a house. I dont want to live in an apartment again as it is nothing but a hassle, I dont want another basement suite so i can avoid this exact situation ever happening again, and m not enamored with the idea of having another roommate ever, as all that seems to do is ruin friendships. One thing is for sure though i will never rent from these people again, and most likely i will make thier (often criminal) actions known to the rest of the renter community. Anyways, this blog isnt just for me to bitch on, so heres some other stuff ScummVM recently was informed by Paypal that they were in violation of the paypal acceptable useage policy, and can no longer accept donations via the paypal service. This is crap, and if lucasarts were actually invoved in the work that ScummVM does for them, it wouldn't fly. Dont get me wrong, lucasarts is in no way related to or affiliated with scummvm, but it is scummvm that provides tech support and engines that you need to play the LEC adventure games on modern computers. These guys give us all of their free time and deserve to get a bit in return. Basically the only way to donate right now is by sending them games and such via mail. The following is a quote from Ender one of the project leads: " As regular ScummVM web-viewers may have noticed already, we have removed the Paypal button from our site and are no longer accepting donations. Paypal has informed us that all software capable of playing a game on a 'system it was not sold for' is in violation of their Acceptable Usage Policy. basically says it all, e-mail if you care, and let them know because the project could suffer. I hope to never see the day that the support level for scummvm, drops to that of freeSCI, or one of the other rarely updated RE'ing projects ( please take no offence to the comparison, its a blunt example yes, but i think, a nessisary one) Once again this s getting way too long, and i should probably be looking for a house right now till next time (and hopefully some better news)
8月22日 so a few new things for me to tell youWell its been a while since the last update, ive been pretty distracted lately. I basically wanted to do this update so people dont think im obsessed with alicia. The whole last post was done at her request,and is getting a little old.
Lots and lots of neat little things have been happening lately. I have started playing guitar again, wich was something really important to me a few years ago but i guess at some point in the time since i had lost that passion for it i used to feel. That passion has been coming back these past few days though, ive even learned a few new songs. Ive got a lot of practice and catching up to do but, it sounds like fun so... rock on.
Ive also started working out again, doing whatever i can with the tools i have around at the time although its mostly just push-up's and sit-up's due to the lack of equipment at most times. Im looking forward to getting back in shape, ideally i would like to get back into the shape i was in when i was taking ninjutsu way back when. One of my really good friends, Mike Kilsby will most likely be leaving soon, heading back home to Van or maybe to TO or... who knows. It has been a great visit and we've all had a lot of fun, Im gonna miss him draggin my lazy ass out to have fun. Ive also been getting all these great ideas for the video game store that ive been thinking about starting her in kitimat; possible names, other products to sell to supplant the stores income (skateboards, clothing, specialty items fom E-Bay, etc)
In ScummVM news, The Nitendo DS port has been made official, and is now available on the downloads page of the ScummVM mainsite.
A nintendo DS subforum has also been added, a welcome addition in my opinion, as up to this point the forums have been largely biased towards sony (with a PSP and a PS2 port forum). I cant wait to get Monkey Island running on my DS and DS lite, all i need is a max media launcher and a GBA port Compact Flash reader. I love testing season for scummVM during times of new releases, and i wouldn't mind having one more reason to play all of those games over again, So, welcome to the forums to the author of the DS port AgentQ and i look forward to helping in any way that i can (when i can of course).
Also, In response to the recent comment left by "no-one" i have recently added a list of chuck norris one liners just below the blog portion of this space. There is also a linkTo chucknorrisfacts.com- the source of almost all my chuck norris one-liner (except for the ciggarette one, that ones mine)
I Have been watching a lot of flash cartoons at Newgrounds.com and thought id share one with you all
this is Called The Ultimate Showdown, it hilarious (and catchy, ive had the song stuck in my head for like a week and a half)
Also There Has been a new flash tool created to make Scumm style games with pre your existing flash animation skills, this is really, really, really cool. If you have any interest in flash animation this seems likely to open up the possibility of having an entire web site desigened as an adventure game. One could make it so everyone has a customizable avatar and the different parts of the site (news, forums, etc) could be integrated as different actual places to go (news stands, bars, etc). This is just one idea, this new script creation utility for flash is jam pack with possibilities. Heres the link
Well this is really really long now, but at least i got it updated
Till next time 8月15日 OMG two blog entrys in one day WTF !!!well, now for some news that isnt scummVM related. About a week ago this girl named Alicia Babish showed up in town and weve been hanging out a lot. Shes a pretty cool girl, a little loopy, but i dig it (i think shes cute, for the non hip ;D). I added a bunch of pics of her cause she asked me to, the messy hair one is my favorite. Shes gotten me to play guitar again so thats pretty cool.
The last few weeks have been pretty fun, just chillin, hangin out, etc. One of my best friend Mike Kilsby is also in town, so good times all round
Last weekend we had like 12 people on our front step partying. Now thats oldsKool, we havent party'd like that in like 5 years. It was great
Anyway its a short entry, so what, ya wanna fight about it?
till next time ya wanna know some ridiculousnessThis is a bit ridiculous and even a little scary
a couple of days ago 'KREST' at the scummvm forums found a 'scummgames' site wich offered a dvd with all the major scummvm games on it.
Not only were these the full versions of the Lucasarts games (MI 1-2-3, Indy 3-4, Zak, Maniac Mansion,LOOM, dott, s+m, Full T, dig) but also many other companies as well (revolutions,Broken sword 1-2, coktels gobliiins, and adventuresofts simon the sorcerer games to name a few)
The thing is its completely unlicences and illeagal so no lucasarts and revolution are preparing to sue the crap out of one james hall of the uk.
Speedy detective work by the coders at scummvm have really nipped this whole thing in the butt. Today gary williams, an apperent representitive of these comanies posted on the forum stating that the representitive for Revolution Games and Lucasarts Legal USA are very eager to locate the offender, and are currently in talks with paypal to get hid account info and address. Te representitive also stated that he was aware that there was no relation to scummvm aside frome the illeagal distibution of a free program. The first person to post in response to this was a Tony w. known to be the owner (or at least high up honcho sorta guy) of revolution games stating that he predicted a riot, and the sites rapid closure.
this was all too scary though, this person get rich quick scheme really could have messed it up for us all, thank gaming god that we have a communitly of vigilant watchdogs working hard to ensure the safety of the project
Thanks again guys we love all the work you do there
Be Vigilant (thought it was appropriate) 8月10日 fm-towns games effin rock dudeToday i got my Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Fm-Towns. Its effin Beautiful, theres even a japanese hint book. Im in awe.
Dimmu--Borgir is an awesome seller and im hoping to be able to get Zak Mckracken Fm-Towns from him at the end of the month.
Today i wall be cleaning out a 94 mercury sable to sell for parts to pay for Zak (350$ american plus at least 11$ for shipping)
ITS ALL COVERED IN MOLD (my local friends will get that, if they know what good for them ;) )
On a different note i left a log post at lucasarts forms yesterday
the post itself is here
It seems that no-one has anything to say in response, probably because its all true 8月2日 Added new pics of my cool-ection, ya ya i know, i suckWell... lets see today i added a whole bunch of pictures of my collection, its still missing some though. I also just bought Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Fm-Towns) From Dimmu--Borgir in Sweden, it should arrive in a couple weeks.
Sooooo....
what else to say on the blog...
Well this one is primarily computer shtuff so if you bored youl just want to skip through this next bit (ill let you know when its safe to come back with a * line or something, you'll know it when you see it)
The other day i compressed The Curse of Monkey Island from just under a gig to just over 400 megs using the ScummVM 0.8.1 tools and a handy batch file by Sir-Dave of the PSP sub-forum. This is super handy for me as it allows me to put an entire 2 disc game on a single cd-r or 1 gig removable storage media. It seems to work pefectly with the semi-current SVN Snapshots that i test with, so... rock on
E3 Isnt dead Its Just been crippled, but maybe its nessisarry. Booth Babes, while hot, are needlessly sucking money from developers that would be much better spent on making the games better, or even (heaven forbid) used to take some risks and make original IP (i mean Adventure games of course
 ) Anyways, ill try to keep things up to date on the ScummVM front but nobodys going to read this anyway so i might get a little lazy about it
*****************************************************************************************************************
OK Guys it safe to come back now
*****************************************************************************************************************
Well today sucked, because its kitimat, and it sucks here. I went to the mall, saw a hottie a bunch of times, that was pretty cool i guess.
The other night I rented Final Destination 3, Its not a bad movie, it has a neat plotline, what with death being an intellegent force and whatnot. Its no damn star wars though
 . Oh Ya, Everyone dies like usual, sorry to ruin that for you (HE HE HE)Nobody Felt that i Had the right to Sleep today, The Phone rang constantly it drove me nuts, So now Im Wearing a tin-Foil hat, and staggering around bare foot like the insane, sleep deprived Zombie that i am. No one shall enter my bUbbLe, no one, Buhuwahahah.
Sorry about that Im bloody tired
this is to long now damn it
till next time |
