Okay, what's with people doing those stupid symbols?

Imagine²³ - Okay, that 23 is okay, but what the hell does that mean? I have that song on my MP3 player by the way.

Taste the Smoke [‡] - What's with the thingy? I can't even find that on Word! I can find ₤, €, and ≠, but what the hell is that? Might as well press a bunch of random Arabic letters and hope you don't say anything bad: ۻ۵۴ۺۖۓ (Sorry if I offend any Arabic peoples.)

Wait a sec. I thought there was more. Oh then, I take everything I said back.

Why do people put their names in brackets? Whatever!

I really want that bilo bilo to finished, so I can take a large spoonful of sweet coconut milk with glutinous rice balls, accompanied by tapioca balls and coconut slices. Oh yeah, what an awesome dish.

Hey, I finally found

1. A hosting place for my game. Host-A-Net. Oh yeah! Check the blog before this one for the link!

2. How to do Gears of War style blood in Game Maker! The secret? Metaballs! If you want the tutorial, it's all a matter of looking at the right forum…

Anyways, life's good. Got Gears of War. Cool game. The lowest settings don't really make the game go faster, unless it's the post screen shader effects. I have those on the lowest pass. Yeah. Looks totally awesome even on lowest graphics. My seven year old brother got addicted. Really addicted. I had to cut him off. Don't worry, all the blood and most cussing is off for him. I walk into his room, see him chainsaw a guy, and wonder, looking at the Locust's shaking body, if you would be able to see through all the blood that would have been there if it was enabled. Meh. Cool blood effects. Similar to Bioshock's glow effect. Takes the amount facing the face is facing away from the camera position, passes that to the pixel shader. Yeah. I think I'll write a shader for that for Game Maker. Meh. DirectX 8.1 only. If it was DirectX 9, I would be so able to put my player model into my game with all it's glory. But no, only 28 bones supported. Dang. I have 28 bones just for all the fingers and thumbs. The model looks kickass without the bones, however. Like super low polygon count model, with a high resolution normal map, makes it look high polygon. How? Modeled it twice: Low Poly, Insanely High Poly.

Oh yeah.

I'm sorry, but you must be real bored if you are still reading this.

Yesterday was my uncle's birthday. Went up to San Pedro, because that's where he lives, and went to Serrento's. Great place. My mom brought up the subject of the Wii, and my Uncle said, "I'm don't want anything to do with a company that can't even spell!"

Yeah, he's a great uncle. We call him Uncle Maniac. Actually, my little brother said so. Meh.

The graphics they have in games nowadays are so advanced, yet so simple. The wrinkles on the people's necks and faces in Gears of War are just a texture layer with a changing opacity based on the difference between the bones' rotation and the relaxed rotation. Easier said than done? Not really. The other way around. Simple subtraction. Yeah.

For some reason, Twinsoul is obsessed with dicks. Yeah, I really think he can't give his mouth shut. Now about God giving him the finger, that's a bit extreme. I mean he's thirteen? Yeah, I certainty wasn't obsessed with dicks at thirteen. Must be that age. I've noticed how the older you get, the more stupid you think you were. Mehness.

My friend is supposed to be coming, I'm supposed to be practicing my violin, and after my friend leaves, I'm supposed to work out. What a great windy school holiday. Maybe I'll do some artwork or write a story later. Or watch a movie.

I swear, the ending to 'Death Proof' was perfect. Just perfect. Like they just beat the last boss on Final Fantasy or something. Wait, there is no last boss on Final Fantasy!

[:O]

Have a great day everyone!
