Xbox and My New Game

It has been way too long since I last posted. The major thing that happened was me getting a 4gb Xbox 360 with Kinect. My games are NFS: Hot Pursuit, Madden 09, PGR, Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, and Dance Central. I play NFS and Madden the most. I don't have Xbox Live Gold, so that sucks. I also decided to buy another iPod touch (4g 32gb) instead of finish my computer. But I promise you, I will still do that.

But the big thing that I decided to make this post was because I just started creating a game. I am making it with a program called Adventure Maker. It allows for easy game creation. I model everything in Google Sketchup, then put it into the program. You need the program to run the beta demo of my game, which can be downloaded here (0.7.0). I have something cool planned for 0.8.0, so I recommend you stay tuned. If you find any glitches or problems, comment below, and I will fix it. Enjoy!

Epic Post

Well, it has been a long time since I last posted anything on this blog, and because people discontinued to read it, I decided to make a new post. I will start by saying that my promiced guide on taking apart a Wii will come. For now, I will start by showing everyone an old IBM 98 that a friend gave me:

It definitly looks old. Lets take a look at the back.

Nothing here that's not to be expected. Lets pop the cover off and take a peek.

Looks like any other motherboard. Four PCI slots. Look at that cool white thing by the heat sink.

A 400w Hipro power supply.

Closer Look at the motherboard, and the Intel graphics card

Two 64 mb sticks of old memory


CPU:       Intel Pentium 3 330mhz
Graphics: Intel Onboard
Power:    Hipro 400w
RAM:     128mb
HDD:      4GB  (Large Drive, bigger than 512 mb)
Oh yes, and an IR port!
   
      I thought it was pretty cool. In fact, I got another one that was Windows 98, but it wasn't IBM and was much more powerful. I had fun playing some old games such as the original Myst and Riven, which I would highly reccomend.

Speaking of Myst and Riven, I finally decided to go to GOG (Good Old Games) which has lots of great old games. The ones I have purchased are Riven, RealMYST, Flatout, and Neverwinter Nights Diamond. (You also get Teenagent, Lure of the Temptress, and Beneath a Steel Sky free for just joining.) None of the games are over $9.99, and they even have sales every weekend for 50% off if you buy everything from the publisher or 30% off each game seperately. And the best part is that it is DRM free! So you can install it on any of your computers with no limits! (For some reason, you can get The Witcher 2 on GOG when it is released.)

Other than the games mentioned above, I also got a couple more games. After beating Flatout, I decided to get the third one, Flatout Ultimate Carnage. I was amazed. The game is beautiful, it has more races, more variety, more modes, more cars and more minigames, and Windows Live. The other game I got is Fuel, but I need more RAM than 2 GB for it to run. So sometime I am going to get 8gb ddr3 ram, and that should take care of my problem.

One final thing, I created a movie poster/cover for a mix between Chessmaster 9000 and Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.


I find it epic.
