Off Topic / I turned 19 yesterday. That means I can legally drink.

« on: May 09, 2015, 12:50:52 AM »

I don't live in the states where the drinking age is 21 because otherwise the government wont give highway funding.

also i had the opportunity to buy drinks at restaurants tonight but got rootbeer instead.
alcohol isn't my gig. the title is a bit wrong because even though i can drink now, i won't.

i did get a nice watch though from Guess. it's black and is comfortable.

Off Topic / How do you pronounce Imgur?

« on: May 01, 2015, 02:18:26 AM »

Obviously it's hard to get perfect pronunciations out of letters because the sounds the make can be relative from person to person, but I think these 3 highlight the main ways people say Imgur.

Me? I'm the Image-er guy. I'm pretty sure that's how the owners or whatever pronounce it, but some people go by literal pronunciation which can make more sense. (*cough gif hard g).

So internet folk, how is Imgur pronounced?

Off Topic / Is your steam account Private? Why/Why not?

Personally, I have it set to friends only, and my inventory is private to me.
I don't want to be bothered by phishers or by people I don't know.

I knew the movie wasn't going to be good, but it really gave me more entertainment than I was expecting.

In the review department at least.

Games / What type of gearbox do you use in Racing games?

« on: April 09, 2015, 08:46:50 PM »

I don't really care about controllers used, from steering wheels to gamepads, I'm just curious about what gearboxes/transmissions people use in racing games when given the option.

So this isn't like, applicable to Need for Speed because transmissions in that game, or at least the non-sim ones (shift series) don't exist that much. Moreso things like Forza Motorsport, and Gran Turismo, and any PC games that have manual gearboxes because I don't know of any.

Personally, I like using Manual with a Clutch, because I'm a big fan of pulling off drifting stunts and they're a lot easier to do when you can slip the clutch in at high revs to make the back wheels loose traction.

Suggestions & Requests / Tank shell that does not explode after too long of time.

« on: April 07, 2015, 02:24:21 PM »

I'm making a thing that uses long distance fire booming. Like artillery.

The Tank shell is perfect for this, but it explodes after a very short flight.
I'm looking for one that doesnt explode, and flies for as long as possible, and is also upscaled by 2 compared to default. (I know you can scale it that high with events, but I have reasons for the upscaling).
If it could be named Artillery Shell, that would be great.

If anyone could make this I would greatly appreciate it.

Gallery / Battleship (Hull Complete!) (Work In Progress)

« on: April 07, 2015, 12:25:36 AM »

This has been a little project of mine over the past few weeks.
Loosely based on the figure and shape of an Iowa-Class battleship, I've been plunking away on this thing for quite a while. I was hoping maybe to use it in some sort of island based capture TDM or something, like Battlefield (wake island probably) or something similar
Maybe you could use the ship as sort of a home base as well as artillery piece, but for now, it's just a work in progress build.

I would like to stress the loosely based on USS-Iowa however. I pretty much used basic linedrawings for the essential shape and for future layout, but it's not going to be a brick-by-foot replica, as I'm not an expert on sea based vehicles and such. It's just going to be a neat little Blockland Battleship. I will probably end up releasing it when it's done as well, but for now, pop by my server if you want a peak. (If it's up)

Without Water

With Water

Safety Security Hangar

I might fix the back part which overhangs a lot though, in hindsight it doesn't really look that nice, (or that realistic lol). The ship looks a bit tiny if I were to do that however. I might just raise the waterline as well.
I'm probably going to work on the interiors next, the ones below the deck. Maybe just add a couple rooms here and there to make it TDM compatible.

I know these ads are common, but this is loving absurd.
You might fool some stupid grannies with fake flowers or dung balls but his foot is just a mangled carrot.

A CARROT. THINNER BLOOD = CARROT FEET. SIGNAL BOOST.

Suggestions & Requests / Could someone turn this Abrams model into a functional vehicle?

« on: March 18, 2015, 10:01:09 PM »

M1Abrams.obj

It is a simple model which is an Abrams in the blocko style of the default tank.
Way back when I made it I was hoping to turn it into an add-on myself, and a few people were disappointed that I gave up on it.
I don't have the knowledge to finish what I started, and it would be a shame to see it go to waste.

The Gun, Turret, and Chassis are all separate pieces, and it is coloured properly with materials, although I'm 95% sure materials aren't used that way in game.
If you're able to turn this into a functional thing, thank you very much. Although I would prefer the model to remain unchanged, feel free to modify it slightly to fit your need/preference.

Off Topic / True Average snake Size Revealed: Who knew?!

« on: March 04, 2015, 08:42:34 PM »

SOURCE
(Secondary)

The main journal was posted in some urology thing and i'm too lazy to see if it's behind a paywall or not.

15,521 men were measured in size. Break out the rulers and string, time to drop trousers and see where you fall.



For those who live in strange parts of the world and use imperial systems, and don't understand the graph:

ERECT:

• Average snake length is 13.24 centimetres or 5.21 inches.
• Average snake circumference was 11.66 centimetres or 4.59 inches.

FLACCID:

• Average snake length is 9.16 centimetres or 3.6 inches.
• Average snake circumference is 9.31 centimetres or 3.66 inches.

ASSORTED FACT:

• 95% of Men (tumblr not included) fall between 10.16 and 16.51 centimetres or 4 to 6.5 inches.

I'm just glad they didn't put me on that list. It would've skewed the results so bad that everyone would've had a massive wang.
Though, this still doesn't change the fact that Stacy from accounting still won't go out with you because she thinks it's still small, but honestly, she was a bit of a skank and lives in a really "dark" part of town if you know what I mean. I bet she's just a bit spoiled when it comes to her selection.

Games / EA Shuts down Maxis Emeryville

The studio behind the legends such as The Sims, The Sims 2, and SimCity is being shut down for good. Also spore which was a neat game for the one single session you played it.

Now for those who own current Sim games, don't worry, that's taken care of by some SimTeam dev branch or whatever.

It's been good Maxis. Thanks for all the fun games, and for further showing us that EA is a bunch of mean starfishs.

Off Topic / Fifty Shades of Grey: An Adventure by Me

« on: February 19, 2015, 05:26:16 PM »

At 7:25pm UTC -7:00, I will be entering the cinema to watch Fifty Shades of Grey.

But wait you may ask, you're not a middle aged single mother, why are you going to see that dumb movie?!
Good question.

Since it is probably going to be a very poorly worded piece of """art""", I have properly prepared. I have brought a pair of scissors to cut a hole in the bottom of the popcorn bag. If you're to young to get that joke, as your parents.

Help.
