Next Official Pokemon Game?

Posted by S3xySeele on Oct. 9, 2012, 11:06 p.m.

So guys, now that Black and White 2 is out, what do you think will be next for the series?

My personal beliefs are that the next batch of Pokemon games will be Ruby and Sapphire remakes (or perhaps direct sequels) for the 3DS. And I believe that the games …

Game Maker 8.0 Flicker

Posted by DFortun81 on Oct. 9, 2012, 7:25 p.m.

Greetings guys.

I haven't blogged in a while, but I'd like everyone to know that I have solved the infamous (well, for me at least) Texture Flicker problem in Game Maker 8.0.

I've been writing a Lua framework for about 2 weeks after picking back up the project from a …

...Opinions?

Hi everybody!

So this is slightly random, doesn't really have a point to it. It’s one of those things that have happened but I’m only just realizing that it bothers me. Again, it’s random, and I really hope that I don’t offend someone.

Yesterday I was teaching ESL and only …

I just took part in a Code-a-thon at the Mashery in San Francisco this last weekend. The theme was "Changing health habits for the better" (aka eliminating bad habits or encouraging good habits). There were main prizes and sponsor prizes (for using new APIs in interesting ways). Out of 23 …

And I'm not talking manga! Just the pure left-to-right style superhero stuff. Let's discuss…

Before Watchmen

I hear a lot of chatter from the pro-Moore camp about how crappy this series is. The thing is: MOST of these jerks haven't even read any of them. They just take Moore's bitching …

This is the funniest thing ever Peta has done. What are your first reactions to this?

You know, technically they are right. Pokemon is really just a bunch of organized dog fights, but it's not like this! Whenever a trainer is shown mistreating their Pokemon or abusing them, they …

Dwarves

Posted by Glen on Oct. 8, 2012, 12:56 a.m.

Can you think of "jobs" or "positions" that a Dwarf race in a fantasy game would have? For example, an elf class in video games usually consist of various archers and magicians. Such as a hunter, ranger, huntress, spellcaster, mage, etc… What would you expect out of a Dwarf race? …

Upgrades!

Posted by Astryl on Oct. 7, 2012, 6:53 a.m.

I possibly mentioned on the IRC and in my last blog that I was planning on upgrading my PC.

Yesterday morning, I did just that. I got myself a new motherboard, some RAM, and a new CPU. All spiffy and shiny and all that. I plugged it all in, cut …

Barrels of fun!

Buzz! The monkeys aren't working! We're formulating another plan, stay calm!

Okay well maybe not that kind of barrel. But as a follow up to the untextured models I posted on my last blog, I present to you a texture I worked on today, which so happens to be the …
