A Series of Tubes

Hey everyone (no one),
Ned Batchelder just released version 1 of Platitude, a program for making lattice drawings. I think it’s a very handy program.

Ok, this game is good. It’s a Star Wars based RPG that takes place 4000 bby (before the battle of yavin), when the sith are at their greatest. They have supposedly wiped out all the jedi, except you. You are a Jedi exile, exiled for joinin Revan during the Mandalorian wars. The game is good for a normal game, and great for an RPG. There are only 3 complaints I have:

1. Sometimes the game will stop showing shots of other characters, meaning you have to keep talking to them until they shut up, then read the journal entry to see what they answered. Meaning you could accidently gain dark side points.
2. On one level, during cutscenes the doors close too quickly, locking a character from the cutscene in the room with you. This causes problems because some characters are only programmed to talk to you twice, once during the cutscene and once later. So if you talk to them right after the cutscene (while they are still inside), another cutscene will begin, which will be glitchy cause it isn’t in the right location, then when you get to where you’re supposed to talk to the guy again, he isn’t there. I had to restart the game.\
3. The ends of some levels are ridiculosly hard. For example: the Tank Droid on Telos, and the Sith Assasin attack at the Mandalorian Camp.

Other than that, I love this game. 8/10.

I sure do. Thanks, rabid spleen-eating Tikiman!

This stuff is crazy. It really is.

1. I went on vacation.
2. get a graham cracker, marshmallows, and syrup. make a sandwhich with ’em. i bet it tastes good.

Today I cannot access www.stellated.com (owned by a friend of mine) or www.blender3d.org (the blender homepage). Stellated I can live with, it’s just a blog I read sometimes, but I’m going to the Cape tomorrow, and staying for about 11 days, so I need to get blender onto the ‘top…XP

Using Blender, a freeware 3D modelling program, I have modelled my very own conehenge.

Robyn Miller, co-creator of my favorite game Myst, has just informed my dad that he’s sending me a package!!!!!

Wow. That’s a lot of money. That’s Salmon P. Chase’s face on the front, there. He apparently was the 25th secretary of the treasury, serving under lincoln. The bill isn’t circulated, it stays in the treasury.

Oh, and while I’m on the topic of interesting bills, there’s also a hundred-thousand dollar bill.

And while I’m on the topic of money, I still need money for that lightsaber…

Well, it looks like the House passed a bill to create a new Constitutional Amendment.
This amendment would indirectly make it unconstitutional to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. Sorry, Terrorists R Us!
