Creativity / Comic - Checking Out

« on: October 16, 2010, 12:37:28 AM »

I don't know how widespread this is, but the grocery stores around here implement this sort of predatory donation tactic where they ask you to give your change to some charity. They do this even if you are paying by credit card and the "change" is just an arbitrary number rather than a set of physical objects that would inconvenience you.

You must either lose money or have a -1 social interaction with a person. This is the same tactic that bums use except bums are usually filthy cretins that can easily be brushed off as non-human. Grocery store clerks are usually normal people that will trigger the socialization cues in your mammalian neocortex.

Luckily my social interaction score has bottomed out so I am indifferent to further penalty. The girls demonstrate a different coping mechanism in this week's comic.

General Discussion / Badspot's Treasure Hunt server

« on: October 02, 2010, 07:03:59 AM »

So I'm hosting a server to test out some new add-ons I've made.

Treasure Chest - A findable thing. It keeps track of how many there are total and how many you have found. Click to open. /treasureStatus to check how many you have found.

Keys- 4 different colored keys. If you use them on a brick that has the same color, it will fire OnKeyMatch. If it has a different color it will fire OnKeyMismatch. This is a "complete the objective" sort of key not a "personal ownership" sort.

Checkpoint - When you touch it, your spawn point is moved to that brick. /clearCheckpoint to reset.

Some of these things have been done before, but now I'm doing them in a simpler and better fashion. These will be released as add-ons when they are finished and they will be part of v18.

Do: Feel free to join the server and test things out, make comments, suggestions, and bug reports.
Don't: Rip off my add-ons and rush out your own half-baked version before I release mine.

I made a comic about the child's play charity. Note: "W" in the comments is a moron.

Is anyone here successfully playing Blockland with a GeForce 2 MX? If so, did you have to change any settings to get it to work?

Creativity / Comic - Master Plan

« on: August 29, 2010, 04:10:49 AM »

I probably should have waited until the statute of limitations on whatever crime this is ran out before making a comic about it.

General Discussion / PAX 2010 - Update

« on: August 25, 2010, 02:23:01 PM »

I will be attending PAX.

Will you?

If you want to meet Eric "Badspot" Hartman and Ben "Kompressor" Garney at PAX, we will be outside the Unicorn theater at 11:30 AM Sunday. That is right after the Lego Universe panel which I understand some may want to look at even though it is the path of the non-believer. We will stand around for a bit and hold a little sign that says "Blockland" or something. If you have memorized our appearances from online photos know that I now have a buzz cut and Ben shaved off his goatee.
