[108] Yeah...Blogging Again, I S'pose

Hmm…what <em>has</em> been going on with me in recent months?

<small>(Wow, it really <em>does</em> sound sad to note that my last blog hasn't been for two months.)</small>

Well, first of all, just five minutes ago I discovered <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370800">a bug in Firefox 2.0</a> that nobody else has found out about. That's entirely relevant.

I've also just started playing <a href="http://www.urbandead.com">Urban Dead</a>, a free HTML-based MMORPG about zombies. It's awesome…but hard for beginners. And incredibly boring for those of you who deem graphics as the sole measurement of a game's quality.

For recent web projects I've started planning a webcomic with my friend…I've made the CSS layout for the site, which you can check out <a href="http://thetyphooncorp.com/webcomic">here</a>. Note that I said <em>layout</em> and not <em>final design</em>, because several people have pointed out to me that they don't like my CSS-only, monotonous color scheme. Personally I do, but the color scheme and whatnot will be decided when we actually launch the comic (a couple weeks from now). So yeah. Critique it if you'd like.

Uhm…what else. I've tried Source (Half-Life 2-engine) mapping recently, and it's hard but amusing. I made <a href="http://sourcefortsmod.com/boards/showthread.php?t=5369">an almost-finished map for the HL2 mod SourceForts</a>, but I've gotten too lazy to finish it. It's still fun to experiment with, though.

In GM news I've started a little side-project called <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Anticitizen</span>, but it's mostly just a little for-fun experiment more than anything else. It's a platform game where you can do <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour">parkour</a>-style moves…and that's about it. Boring, eh?

So let's finish today's blog with a few random Flash movies my friends and I have compiled as of recent. Comment on them if you'd like, but don't be offended by their randomness. Seriously…they're more random than anything YOU can come up with.<br /><ul><li><a href="http://upload.thetyphooncorp.com/DRUG%20BUST.html">Drug Bust</a> (SEVERE inside jokes here, this is an old comic we drew in middle school)</li><li><a href="http://upload.thetyphooncorp.com/SWEEEETesque.html">Untitled</a> (the biggest waste of your time you've participated in recently)</li><li><a href="http://upload.thetyphooncorp.com/bass.html">Bass drum test</a> ("I could watch that for hours" -Arcalyth)</li><li><a href="http://upload.thetyphooncorp.com/yo%20deens%20nueva%20modeo.html">Yo Deens!</a> (don't ask >_>)</li></ul>So that's about it. A typical [108]blog: a month and a half late, little relevant content, and a few retarded Flash movies at the end.

Next time: I'll describe what happened 2007-2008. Later!

I found a bug nobody else found too - if you try to move a maximized firefox window WHILE ITS NOT FOCUSED, it will actually move - try it.
