This blog still hasn’t had any views, apart from the few which were actually me looking at it without logging in. Maybe that’s a good thing though. Maybe because no-one looks here, I can just write even more freely about my thoughts and co., not that that would really be much of a change. This is my thought tap after all, and when it’s on, it’s all the way on.

First random thought.
I love her so much. Cal, i really do. Even though you may never read this, I want you to know. I love you more than anything. I truly believe that you are the one for me.

Second.
School is coming to an end for the year, and i’m going to miss some people. Whether it be missing them just over the holidays, or possibly never seeing them again. Our year group has been so good, with so many great memories created, I never really want them to go.

Third.
I left the xbox on.

Fourth.
I want to talk to Cal again. But she can’t text me much, because it costs her tons. Maybe i’ll ring her soon, or get her to ring me. I miss her, and I saw her just 5 hours ago at school. Five hours is so long though. I love her, i miss her, i love her so so much.

Fifth.
Josh Pyke is pretty awesome.

Imaginem uma nova geração de gamers interagindo com os seus vídeo games sem precisar de controles? Essa é a proposta da Microsoft, ao levar a frente o Project Natal (sim, Natal é por causa da capital do Rio Grande do Norte). Este projeto ambicioso pretende aumentar a interação e calar a boca dos que falam que vídeo games só servem para ficar sentado na poltrona. Uma barra de sensores que fica em cima ou embaixo da TV ligada ao X-Box360, com câmeras, sensores de movimento e um microfone que pretende identificar com precisão os comandos corporais do jogador. Isso permitiria ao jogador pular, bater, correr e ver seus movimentos capturados pelo equipamento. Além disso, promete controlar filmes, fazer vídeo conferências e ser um centro de mídia controlável apenas com movimentos suaves das mãos.

Ainda assim é complexo imaginar alguns jogos que conhecemos com toda essa interatividade… em alguns deles, eu iria preferir continuar sentado com um joystick… A proposta é boa. Seria um adeus ao sedentarismo?

Der Analyst Martin Birkeldh, der bei der Präsentation des jüngsten Quartalsberichts bei Starbreeze anwesend war, glaubt nicht mehr, daß das kommende Jason Bourne-Videospiel bereits vor dem sagenumwobenen Project RedLime veröffentlicht werde. Vielmehr erscheint es ihm mittlerweile naheliegend, daß Project RedLime im dritten oder vierten Quartal 2010, jedoch vor Weihnachten, und damit womöglich noch vor dem Bourne-Spiel veröffentlicht wird. Der Start des vierten Bourne-Films, mit dem das Videospiel vermutlich wegen der Marketing-Synergien parallel starten soll, wurde ja wegen organisatorischer Probleme auf 2011 verschoben. Die Vermarktung für RedLime könne dann jedenfalls im ersten Quartal 2010 anlaufen. Unbestätigte aber hartnäckige Gerüchte besagen, RedLime sei Syndicate.

OK … Now we have received a looooot of suggestions on how we should continue this game design.

Some of the most important ones include us stopping the implementation we are doing with DirectX and the DigiPen university documents and start working with real game engines and frameworks..

including using slimDirectX or XnA for Microsoft. Maybe even OpenGL & C++ for playstation and wii.

But I think we will decide how to continue because each way has its advantages over the others

like if we continue with the normal DirectX then we are mostly learning the language C#, which is a good idea because since we are mostly thinking of designing for the Xbox 360 & it is implemented using visual studios, it will provide us with a strong programming background. Although using XnA immediately will make us work on “VIDEO GAME DESIGN”. We still have other options, but we will talk about our path later

BACKGROUND

Now, in case we stick to what we are already working on I designed our simple background for the game

It’s still not in the program itself, but its ready whenever we want to use it

In questo blog raramente parlo di videogiochi (anzi, mi sa che è solo la seconda volta), ma questa volta c’è da fare un’eccezione. Il gioco in questione è Dante’s Inferno, distribuito da EA e sviluppato per PS3, XBox 360, PSP e PC. Come si evince dal nome, il tutto è ambientato nella prima parte della Divina Commedia dantesca e stupisce il fatto che nessuno ci abbia mai pensato prima. La data di uscita non è stata ancora annunciata, comunque a vedere il trailer ufficiale, di sicuro promette bene. Ed, ovviamente, è giocoforza aspettarsi i sequel in purgatorio e in paradiso…

Every website in existence told me that Mass Effect was essentially the second coming of Christ in video game form. So was it? Well, if Christ is a really annoying, boring asshole who closely follows standard genre tropes, then I guess the reference fits. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what they were going for.

Here’s a list of reasons why Mass Effect sucks:

1.) It’s not an RPG. — This game is billed as an RPG. Even though you have dialogue options throughout, and some of them are hilarious, that doesn’t really make it an RPG. The storyline is still just as linear as Final Fantasy X, which makes it an adventure game. You don’t actually “role play,” you just get to choose good, bad, or neutral dialogue options.

2.) The story is incredibly bland. — What’s that? A rogue alien has hatched a plan that will destroy all life in the universe? Yawn.

3.) The “ZOMG 8 Alternate Endings!” are really just 2 alternate endings. — There is a good ending and a bad ending. That’s it. There are minor variations in each, but those do not constitute “alternate endings.” Chrono Trigger had 12 endings, and that game was on the Super Nintendo. You’d think that the makers of Mass Effect would strive for something more, but they didn’t because they are a bunch of lazy assholes. On the other hand, maybe they figured they couldn’t top Chrono Trigger and gave up.

4.) Slow loading times.

5.) THE FUCKING ELEVATORS ARRRRRGH! — Could these things move any fucking slower? OK, I get it. They are just an opportunity for the game to load the next area and have it appear seamless, but it’s just boring as hell. I’d rather see a loading screen than stare at my three motionless party members and listen to announcements over the PA system.

6.) The side quests are annoying as fuck. — This is unimaginative shit at its worst. “Oh, can you please go collect 3 of these items or 10 of those items?” Is this really necessary? I thought collecting shit was supposed to be something you did on a scavenger hunt, not a fucking video game. All I want to do is kill shit, not waste my time traveling from planet to planet, and digging in the dirt for some random crap that will give me absolutely no advancement in the storyline.

7.) Barren Planets — What exactly is the point of this? I mean, seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to have you drive around on huge piles of dirt looking for the next plot point? Idiots, that’s who. And anyone who thought it was fun to explore and find “extra stuff” in the Mass Effect wasteland of mediocrity is retarded.

8.) The secondary characters are completely unmemorable.

9.) Driving the car — I’d rather lick my own ass than spend another fucking second driving the car around. It’s a rubbery piece of shit that bounces all over the place. The mechanics of maneuvering this thing are horrendous. It only has the one shitty machine gun, and no cannon. And just like your hand held weapons, the gun can overheat, which is annoying as fuck. Oh, and let’s not forget that while you are repairing damage you can’t move. Everything about the car is just another, “What the hell were they thinking?” scenario.

10.) “Before I can give you this item that will save all life in the universe, first you have to do me a favor.” — FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one positive side of this game, is that you can have sex with one of your crew members. And they have a nice ass, too.

As far as RPGs go, Mass Effect is terrible and a waste of time… but it’s still better than Okami.

Verdict: Bad

It’s hard to come up with even the beginnings of a list of successful, high-quality video game movies and it’s more than just Uwe Boll: there seems to be a conflict between what the moviemakers think their audience wants and what viewers are actually paying to see. When Tomb Raider is considered a relative critical darling, you know the genre’s in trouble.

Which is why there’s some hope in the fact that Brad Pitt has now acquired the rights to produce a film version of the upcoming game Dark Void. Some might wonder why they should trust the actor’s choice, but his track record includes The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The Departed, God Grew Tired of Us, Running with Scissors and 2010’s Kick-Ass. So if that’s any indication, look forward to Dark Void being potentially becoming a legitimately good adaptation.

Here’s a look at the game’s trailer…

For more , here’s Steven Zeitchik’s article from Yahoo News.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – “Dark Void” will yield movie development matter.

Indian giant Reliance BIG Entertainment and Brad Pitt’s Plan B shingle are developing a film version of the upcoming video game, and Pitt could well star as the lead combatant.

The two firms have acquired rights to the Capcom third-person shooter and will develop the material as a feature. The companies said the project would be a “potential starring vehicle” for Pitt. No writers have been hired yet.

“Void” centers on a cargo pilot named Will (Pitt’s presumed character) who, after crashing in the Bermuda Triangle, ends up in a parallel universe where a band of humans must fight an alien threat that had long been thought extinct. Will and the other humans are outmanned but have a number of weapons and powers to help them beat back the alien incursion.

The game will be released for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in January.

The project is the first to come out of a development partnership between Plan B and Reliance that was announced at the Cannes festival in 2008. The Indian giant has deals with a number of other Hollywood production banners, including Julia Roberts’ Red Om and George Clooney’s Smokehouse.

Video games have had a mixed record on the big screen, with title likes “Max Payne” mutating into critical and commercial flops. But executive involved in this deal pointed to the advantages a “Dark Void” movie would have over its predecessors.

“As a game, ‘Dark Void’ was developed with a wide-screen mentality — a world full of adventure presented in cinematic scope and scale,” Capcom senior vice president of licensing Germaine Gioia said.

Heavy internet users perceive brands differently — a fact that could help create and sell new/alternative strategies, messages, channels, audiences and programs.  Next time you’re thinking about a campaign or strategy prez, ask for an “iBAV” analysis (thanks Michael Sussman!!).  iBAV is simply a view of a brand/brands through the eyes of heavy internet users (people who spend 11+ hours per week online).  I bet you’ll find something interesting and useful.

We’ve pulled a few iBAVs over the past couple years.  I’m posting a few of those slides here.  They’re getting a little dated but make the point.  For example, see how much stronger LG looks to heavy internet users than to all adults (below).

Look at the difference heavy internet usage makes for XBOX compared to Nintendo (below).  Considering the XBOX focus on online/connected games, it makes sense.  Is there a need to “over-index” in digital if you’re Nintendo to offset the perceptual disadvantage?

And consider the substantial lift Scion gets from heavy internet users compared to Toyota (below).  Does that argue for tapping heavy internet users as a “vanguard” audience for Scion?  What would that do to the communications/messaging/channel strategy for them?

Alternatively, see how Fisher Price fares worse against female heavy internet users (below).  Is that an “early warning sign” for the brand?  Could be.  Without this view it’d be tempting to say all’s good.

Viewing clients’ brands with an iBAV filter may show opportunities and/or risks that warrant additional strategic thinking and/or action.  Check it out!

Now you know that you’ve crushed the odd cockroach before, you’ve chatted to your kids about the sanctity of life and you’ve saved the odd moth.

But when it comes to invertebrates (no backbone – the research I do on your behalf), they fall neatly into three camps in my opinion; the cute and attractive (butterfly’s), the educational (silkworms) or the bowel clenchingly horrifying, (i.e. the rest / anything that scuttles around in a cave and attracts people like David Attenborough).

Now, lobsters are invertebrates and Crustaceans to boot  and no matter what every TV chef says they are are cockroaches, bottom feeding, seagoing cockroaches.

The first person to eat one must have been desperate or clinically insane (probably the same guy who first looked at an oyster and thought ‘hmmm, looks like snot, but I wonder what it tastes like?). They’re the most horrible looking things in the world, but yummy and some people don’t like to hurt their feelings, or use old school methods the help them shuffle off this mortal coil and onto the dinner plate.

Just read on.

Don’t boil a lobster, give it a zap instead

By BILL POWER Business Reporter

Thu. Nov 19 – 4:46 AM
A company in the United Kingdom is about to lift the lid on a device that zaps lobster with electricity to kill them, and the inventor said Wednesday his humane alternative to boiling is about to give the entire industry a jolt.

British entrepreneur Simon Buckhaven said the CrustaStun system, developed over the past decade by his company Studham Technologies Limited, near London, kills the lobster with an electric charge, so the crustacean feels no “pain or distress.”

“I am entirely aware this product will be greeted at first with some skepticism among people in the lobster industry in Eastern Canada and northeastern United States,” said Mr. Buckhaven, of what he called the world’s first crustacean stunner.

But he said the animal rights movement in Europe and the United States is gaining traction by protesting the traditional method of killing a lobster in boiling water, prior to serving it with melted lemon or garlic butter.

This is perhaps the most ridiculous application of environmentally friendly bunny hugging technology I’ve ever come across. There has got to be a better (and more entertaining) alternative.

And now my friend meet your nemesis, the butter knife of DOOM!

Apply your mind people, life’s short and entertainment costly.

That said I’d be first in line to buy an Xbox version of ‘lobster fight unlimited’. I’d choose the coconut crab, his character would be called Scuttler McCrush and his finishing move would be the Whirling Dervish Claws of Pain (Trade Mark pending).

And you’d be forced to choose the shrimp, and I’d OWN you.

Let the battle commence

If Microsoft is interested I’d like to offer my services to project manage the game implementation, on the condition that I get to eat the other consultants afterwards (I’ll supply my own lemon and butter).

I must admit if something like this crawled into my room at 4.30 I’d crap myself, jump up on the bed, grab the nightlight, aim for the antenna and have a heart attack, all within three seconds  (TaDaaah).

For the love of God get it off me

I have experience, living in Johannesburg has provided me with some interesting insect encounters and the reflexes of a caffeine addicted Ninja.

Why hello there, I sense you're having a good night's sleep, let's work on that together

Good night and good luck.
