Suggestions & Requests / Jeep (or vehicle) unstickifying through impulse along the block face's normal

« on: March 28, 2012, 01:26:07 PM »

Pardon my rushed art work here.
I don't really know what's been tried and what is in place right now but if we just have the vehicles look for any bricks nearby they are majorly intersecting and applied a proportional impulse it might be neat. If we had it so it applied over time in some cases slightly maybe make it have that stuck feel. If the vehicle goes too far through a brick we can still catch it, mind you, if the vehicle is checking, it can look to see its previous location and thereby determine the intersecting plane and therefore the impulse.

Games / Roblox is getting Mind Control features.

« on: March 09, 2012, 12:52:05 PM »

You know those brain control cat ear things? Well the company that makes those also make other software that respond to brain waves using the headsets (minus the cat ear parts). Neuroware had a booth at GDC where they were showcasing how this technology could be used in games, and who did I see there? Roblox. *DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNN*
This can only mean soon Roblox will master full virtual reality. :O

Off Topic / Was at game developers choice awards today

« on: March 08, 2012, 01:48:21 AM »

The Indie game awards and game dev awards were tonight did anyone watch?
I was there to war the back center along the aisle

Portal 2 won alot of awards. Skyrim won game of the year. People thanked the lawyers who worked on the supreme court video games case. Mega 64 was funny. Other stuff.

Me personally at GDC today, got alot of cool stuff played some new games, kid Icarus for instance, some games in development. Saw again notch and Jeb and the other mojang guy with the beard (talked to them last gdc before full release). Talked to Kompressor a bit about things not related to shadows (though I threw in a "good luck on destroying the bedroom" which he seemed kinda awkwarded out by but went along with anyways" . Met Robin Walker I believe is his name from TF2 fame. He gave me tips on ways I could join Valve through work as a designer, what sorta things catch their attention.

It was a busy yet fun day.

Off Topic / The USA is gone

« on: January 18, 2012, 04:50:14 PM »

With the NDAA and SOPA we have now paved the way for the Great American Police State.
I personally believe that all those who have passed these laws that fundamentally overwrite everything that was important in the constitution to be arrested and put on public trail; as traitors of the nation.
Furthermore I am INCREDIBLY pissed at the ignorance shown by the American people to let the NDAA pass without so much as a gasp.

We as a nation have done nothing in the recent years but further spotlight our own failings in upholding the very meaning the country was founded upon. Freedom. We have taken away the rights of other nations, force them to follow our customs and kill them when they don't, and now even the citizens of this nation, which the government is meant to PROTECT are at risk. Our very free will is at risk.

*Note: I am aware the NDAA was introduced earlier, what makes it worse now is they have removed the clause protecting US citizens.
