Off Topic / I need some ideas for music to put on my phone.

« on: May 08, 2012, 05:09:55 PM »

I got this HTC Eris, and I wanted some suggestions for music.
Albums, preferably.

So, forums, start suggesting

I would prefer:

• EDM
• Indie/Alt Rock
• 8-bit music

I am okay with My Little Pony stuff, if anyone has any questions about that.

He had a seizure a couple of minutes ago, we called the ambulance, and they're taking care of him now.
Well, he's at the hospital now.
Help cheer me up, people.

Off Topic / I saw a zombie toad.

« on: April 28, 2012, 02:36:59 PM »

Yes, it looked like a zombie, and yes, there were exposed organs.
It was green, and it was missing half of its face.
I made the mistake of picking it up, and i touched the side of its face.
Also, i noticed it when the chair I was carrying hit it, when it then moved.
Honestly, I thought I should share this.
I'll get pictures in a bit.

Off Topic / I am in need of a really good C/C++ tutorial

« on: April 27, 2012, 10:04:24 PM »

I am in need of one, the last topic wasn't so good, and I barely got the basics.
I am in need of a very good one, that will teach me something about servers.
Something that works well for Linux users.

Off Topic / I was playing soccer and I hit myself in the testes with another person.

« on: April 27, 2012, 04:22:24 PM »

I HIT MYSELF.
WITH ANOTHER PERSON.
And here's how it happens.

I'm running for the ball, and there's a kid coming in from the side about to get it, too.
The kid is about to kick it, and he kicks it, but it just goes in the air.
So I'm going to be a badass and kick it out of the air like a ninja.
And then another kid comes up, to knock it down, and somehow my foot connects with is testicles and one of my legs goes behind him, and I slam full on into the guy.
I have no idea how this happened, only that it hurt badly for both of us.

Also, I also got hit in the balls by a girl that came out of loving nowhere, and we were on the same team.  Apparently we were both going to kick it at the same person, just I was already kicking it.

Off Topic / Changing the block.htm page on wnr2000v3

« on: April 22, 2012, 07:54:46 PM »

I cannot seem to find a tutorial for this and I want to change to a custom block page, rather than the red and black one.

Off Topic / The school nurse recommended I get an eye exam.

« on: April 19, 2012, 04:35:58 PM »

So, I was outside today, and I got hit in the face with a soccer ball, and I went to go see the nurse.

I told her that I already had a headache and it made it worse when I got hit by it, and she suggested I go see an eye doctor, because I have a messed up eye.

So, if I do end up needing glasses, glasses or contacts?

Also, I uploaded a picture of me, so you guys can decide, with all your fashiony skills, if I should get glasses or contacts.

Off Topic / My brother decided to show me these mothman videos.

« on: April 18, 2012, 11:08:16 PM »

So yeah, he showed me them.
I'm still more scared of going into a garden center and finding a stone angel.
Seriously I stare at those things until my dad decides to find me.

Off Topic / James is in need of a good "C" tutorial.

« on: April 18, 2012, 10:05:09 AM »

I'm wanting to learn C, so I can make a game in the voxlap engine, because polygons are too mainstream.  Besides, it would be handy to know, too.

Off Topic / This creepy guy that had a crush on me is still stalking me, after he forgeted up.

« on: April 17, 2012, 04:50:01 PM »

Yeah, more relationship issues and such.
Apparently, he's attracted to me because I'm completely insane and a brony.
So, let me tell you the story of how it happened.

This girl walked up to my locker, and said, "Are you biloveual?"
So, I replied, "Uh, yes, and why are you asking me this?"
And then she tells me about this guy who wants to go out with me, and he was in the 7th grade.
Right before I left for my bus, he walks up to my locker and starts rambling on about how he likes me, and he actually seemed pretty cool.
So, later, I come home and get on facebook, and find out he added me, so I accepted it, and we started talking and stuff, and I decided to go and hang out with him at the park. 
So, when we're at the park (He asked me to go to the park, mind you) he starts telling me to go back home, and I'm like OK, but then I come back to the park later and he's still there.
So, we're hanging out and stuff, and then I head home.
Tomorrow, this seventh grader asks me if I was going out with the guy, and I said, "Uh, no."  Which was actually true, as I was only hanging out with him.
So, more days go on, and I get asked this more and more, and I found out the guy was telling them this, so I go and confront him, and he starts yelling at me and stuff, and I was all, "You forgeted yourself over, lying about me going out with you like that."
He raged, and I walked off.
So now he's still trying to get people to believe we're going out, and he's stalking me relentlessly.

Oh, and he's pissed at the girl I'm currently dating because she's going out with me.
So, he's now trying to get me and my girlfriend to break up.

Off Topic / Does anyone know the formula for leading a shot?

« on: April 15, 2012, 05:43:27 PM »

Basically, I was wondering so I could make a robot that can lead a shot in robocode.

The only variables I have are Direction, Distance, and Velocity.
Wind and gravity are out of the question.

Games / Robocode

« on: April 15, 2012, 04:52:28 PM »

Robocode is an open source educational game started by Mathew Nelson (originally provided by IBM). Currently contributions are being made by various people; officially Flemming N. Larsen and Pavel Å avara are working on Robocode to keep it current and fix the bugs. The game is designed to help people learn to program in Java or, starting in version 1.7.2, .NET Framework programming languages (C#, VB.NET, etc.), and enjoy the experience. It is very easy to start - a simple robot can be written in just a few minutes - but perfecting a bot can take months or more.

Competitors write software that controls a miniature tank that fights other identically-built (but differently programmed) tanks in a playing field. Robots can move, shoot at each other, scan for each other, and hit the walls (or other robots) if they aren't careful. Though the idea of this "game" may seem simple, the actual strategy needed to win is not. Good robots can have thousands of lines in their code dedicated to strategy. Some of the more successful robots use techniques such as statistical brown townysis or attempts at neural networks in their designs.

I found this game when I was browsing around on the Ubuntu Software Center, and it looked interesting.
So I thought I'd share it with you guys.

There's going to be a bigger OP later, I'm just lazy.

Off Topic / James needs help finding this one bionicle game.

« on: April 14, 2012, 10:37:26 AM »

Alright, so back when I was ten, there was this game, it revolved around the Toa (durr), and it had an isometric view.
You could customize what weapons you had and stuff, did lego ever remove it, or can anyone find me a mirror for it?

Off Topic / I just got this Losi Micro Desert Truck thing.

« on: April 12, 2012, 06:04:42 PM »

This little motherforgeter.

So yeah, I got this thing, and it's freaking amazing.
It's like all of 6 inches long and can go 15 miles per hour.
And I tried driving it inside, lost control of it, and i rolled it into ALL THE THINGS.
Also it looks really cute and came with this portable battery charger, too.
It takes an assload of time to charge, though.

So, discuss rc cars and trucks and stuff.
