Firefall Statues Behind The Scenes With Steve Wang
Games in this Video:
Firefall (PC)Comments are Closed
I really like the part where people are supposed to stand out there and yell, "I want Firefall!". They'll look like a bunch of crazies, of course, but it's a pretty funny way to let people know how excited so many of us are for this game.
Firefall is gonna be awesome. I really think it will be one of the "next big things" in the gaming world, and this contest stuff is a great way to spread the word about it. They're taking PAX by storm, and I just wish I could be there to see it all happen (and of course get some sweet loot in the process). I hope G4 covers this as much as they can. I'm *really* looking forward to getting more info on this game.Posted: August 25, 2011 6:27 AM -
This is really awesome! I wish I could be there even more (if that is possible) because of this. A few days of playing Firefall and gathering Firefall swag = awesome! Anyway, they're doing something similiar without actually having to go to PAX where you can get the swag by posting messages to Firefall PAX news like this! That's one of the reasons I'm doing this :D I can't wait for Firefall, this is clearly my top 1 most anticipated game ever. I even made a pie chart about the importance of games to me( Firefall 99% everything else 1%, and this is true). Anyway, here's the link to the dev post about the forum competition where you can win those swags too http://www.firefallthegame.com /community/threads/pax-forum-c ontest-win-firefall-swag.7463/
- ImOnTheRadio (my ForumFall name also)Posted: August 25, 2011 6:13 AM -
FireFall will revolutionize the PC FPS. It will be the league of legends of the PC FPS realm, and will change both Competitive Play, and Casual Play. I CANNOT WAIT for this game!
Posted: August 25, 2011 4:48 AM -
This time, in PAX, they'll show something completely different... this time we get to see the open world, PVE, armies, missions... this is what really makes Firefall different from any other shooter. The open beta will commence just after PAX, so we'll get to play very soon.
What are you guys more hyped about, PVP or the open world in FF?Posted: August 25, 2011 2:39 AM -
Wow, 14 feet tall, that is one massive Wang statue. The man should be proud of himself. He and his team did a great job on it, it looks so awesome. I just wish I could be there to see it in person.
Posted: August 24, 2011 11:30 PM -
I am going to PAX so I will make sure to take plenty of gameplay videos and share them with everyone. Still can't believe a game that looks this good is going to be free to play!
Posted: August 24, 2011 11:14 PM -
This is a very creative idea, Firefall Devs! Oh, for all of you people who don't know you can find their site at www.firefallthegame.com, they're sending out invites for Beta sometime after PAX so just sign up on their site for a chance to get sent an invite!

Finally, a massive online shooter I can play with friends thats skillbased(and isnt COD or Halo related)! Now, if only I could remember what that other game was that was supposed to come out on Nov 11. This game just makes me forget all the others. Makes me so sad to not be at PAX this year. Send a few gameplay videos my way and we'll call it even.

I haven't been as excited for a game as I am for Firefall in years. Saw them at PAX East and it absolutely blew my mind. I wish I had the money/time to attend Prime this year...

Wow those statues look amazing especially the thumper, I wish I could have seen them in person. Firefall is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated games I hope g4 does more coverage on it. I am really looking forward to seeing more gameplay.

Ingenious marketing at PAX - a "Golden Ticket" to a resounding success, FireFall !!
Posted: August 24, 2011 8:34 PM -
God damn if only I could make it out there I want that swag with such a passion
Posted: August 24, 2011 8:26 PM -
I'm super envious! That looks like so much fun!
I really wish I could be there = (
Good contest idea though. Instead of having stupid booth babes throwing out shirts it is actually something interesting and awesome. Props to your marketing guy!Posted: August 24, 2011 8:13 PM -
Forgot the camera on this trip so I am going to have to improvise... but I am taking the swag home with me! Looks like I will have to skip the TOR booth to brush up on my FF pawnage skills.

Is it just me or does the FireFall font looks like Starcraft lol
Posted: August 24, 2011 7:30 PM -
I've been craving Firefall loot, and getting progressively more jealous with all this news out since I'm not going to make it to PAX Prime. I seriously hope some of this shows up in the shop, because I want, like, 10.Posted: August 24, 2011 6:45 PM

- Description
- More infos
While the translucent version of the polypropylene is mainly used as a cover for broschures, the opaque version is good for use as the rear cover. It is sturdy and, by virtue of its slightly rough surface, does not show up fingerprints.
It is very easy to make a folder out of PP film by simply cutting and folding it. When used as a hinge-joint it is practically indefatigable. These sheets of PP can also be used as packing material and as decoration. For making lamps, translucent polypropylene should be the first choice of material to be used.
Cutting PP sheets can be done especially well using a GUILLOTINE PAPER CUTTER or fly cutter but good results can be obtained with a blade and straight edge as well. The sheets can be stamped using normal punching tools. Making a groove for a hinge or a fold should be done with a round groove knife (e.g. a FOLDING BONE) working on an even, solid substrate.
The mass per unit area of the 0.8 mm thick film is 728 g/m².
Attributes: Its unusual toughness together with the fact that it is tear-proof makes polypropylene a material with a wide spectrum of applications. It is light, antistatic, scratch-resistant, resistant to numerous chemicals, UV-stable, temperature-resistant from -10 °C to +110 °C and, last but not least, environmentally friendly because of the fact that it contains hardly any additives and burns down to water and carbon dioxide under favourable conditions.
Applications: Even though many of our polypropylene sheets are corona treated and can therefore be glued with relatively good success, it is generally true that glue work with polypropylene (and polyethylene) is much more problematic than it is with other plastics. If the areas to be glued are first treated with POLY-PRIMER, small area gluing can be successful using SUPER GLUE. This technique, however, is not good enough for constructive uses. Mechanically produced connections like, for example, RIVETS, are a much better method plug-and-socket connections or hook-and-loop tapes (whose glue backing sticks relatively well to this material) can also be used successfully. The idea of using hook-and-loop tape for large area bonding leads to the further possibility of employing DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVE FILM.

Expensive, but worth every penny | |||||
User: David K, Mar 22, 2009 |
Ive had many cell phones and PDAs over the years, and a wide variety of cases for all of them. This is definitely the best of them all. At first I bought BlackBerrys own leather case with swivel and found (as others have reported) the swivel clip broke off surprisingly easily. I decided it was better to spend the money for this supposedly high quality case than to replace cheaper broken cases over and over. This RexRegina proved to be even more than I expected. The quality of the leather is truly the best and, although its sometimes tough to fit over a thick belt, theres no doubt the strong, leather covered spring metal clip is going to "go the distance". If you want the very best...buy this. |
Quality | |||||
User: Brook S, Nov 24, 2008 |
This case is my second for my curve. The leather is very high quality and the clip is leather as well. It fits snugly without being difficult to remove your curve when getting a call. This is a dressy case that is nice to wear and does not add any noticeable weight. | |||||

British actor Matthew Goode has auditioned for the role of Bilbo Baggins in Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming, "The Hobbit."
At least, that's what he told the Telegraph recently, although he pooh-poohed the notion of actually getting the part with a dismissive, "Look at the size of me for Christ's sake."
He is quite tall but that shouldn't matter in this new CGI world. Besides, he has those bright blue eyes and impish grin like Frodo (Elijah Wood).
You may remember Goode as Colin Firth's dead lover in Tom Ford's A Single Man" or Ozymandias in "The Watchmen."

It has been a little while since I posted but I have been following along and great to see people's progress and the influx of newbies... It has been a great couple of weeks and I (like Bill and Virus before me) and back in the land of the 200s!!!! I can't wait to be patting you guys on the back for 275, 250, 225 and so on (and vice versa).
@ Amy, Jessica - Welcome to the site... I found that when I started making the changes to my diet, lifestyle and I was an emotional roller coaster, I would come on here and vent a little bit and everyone was very supportive and it made me feel a lot better...
@ Felicity - I have been there so many times with the clothes that I cannot count. Nothing quite like a grown man sniffling in the dressing room of a dept. store. You need to focus on the positives and try to do something small each day that will lead you to a healthier lifestyle... baby steps.
It is funny, the thing that I am looking forward to the most is actually getting back to shopping in normal clothing stores (sadly not there yet).
@Jenn - I'm a TV buff and need to know which show where you watched the entire series in a week!

Atlantic City Courting Gay Tourism Market
Atlantic City is planning a series of events to attract gay tourists, who are becoming an increasingly important part of the resort's growth strategy.
Mayor Don Guardian and tourism officials will outline the plans at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Events include Sand Blast, a 3-day beach party weekend in July targeted to the gay community; the StandOUT Expo, a business-to-business networking event in September for the LGBT community, and the Miss'd America Pageant, a drag spoof of the famous pageant, also in September.
The mayor also will dedicate a gay-friendly beach in Atlantic City.
The resort is trying to broaden its appeal beyond a gambling mecca by emphasizing restaurants, shops, nightclubs, spas and other attractions.

AWEI ES-900i Headset Earphones Speakers with Mic for Smart Phone - Black
"I actually have the ES900m, which doesn't have microphone and control buttons, but the rest is the same. For $6 it's impossible to buy a pair of earphones as good as them.

"The ES800 are the kind of IEMs you won't like how they sound out of the box: they sound thin and aggressive, with piercing mids and highs.

JOPLIN - A man wanted in connection with a Newton County burglary was not located at the Joplin residence he was believed to be at early Thursday, though officers with the Joplin Police Department did find three other individuals with outstanding warrants at the residence.
According to Lt. Matthew Stewart of the Joplin Police Department, officers received information at approximately 3 a.m. Thursday that Dennis Caleb Goode, 32 of Carl Junction, was possibly in a residence located at 1411 E. 17th Street in Joplin.
Goode is wanted on a burglary warrant out of Newton County.
Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland said Goode is believed to be armed and dangerous.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Goode is wanted in connection with a burglary that occurred July 3 at 6465 Impala Drive in rural Joplin.
According to the affidavit, fingerprints matching Goode's were taken off a jewelry box that was taken from the scene.
Goode also faces charges of resisting arrest from Oct. 10, when Newton County Deputy Bradley Black attempted to stop a vehicle Goode was a passenger in at 4600 South Rangeline Road, in Joplin.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Black attempted to stop a vehicle driven by a female identified as Tyeler-Anne Whetstone.
Black states he saw the vehicle stop, observed the male passenger, later identified as Goode, climb into the driver's seat and take off at a high rate of speed, traveling north on Rangeline Road.
The vehicle then allegedly drove through several red lights and was driving northbound in the southbound lane of Rangeline Road.
The vehicle then traveled west on 24th street from Rangeline Road, north onto Arizona Street, where it stopped at the Brittany Apartments.
Goode then allegedly ran from the scene.
The Joplin SWAT Team responded to the location on 17th Street early Thursday and discovered Goode was not located at the residence.
According to Stewart, it is believed Goode fled the area before the officers' arrival.
However, there were five individuals in the residence, and three of the five had active warrants for their arrest.
Officers arrested Bradley S. Reppond, on a failure to appear warrant out of Newton County.
Reppond's original charge was for possession of drug paraphernalia.
In addition to the Newton County warrant, Reppond also had a warrant from the City of Joplin for failure to appear, with the original charge being for the requirement of state license plates.
Officers also arrested 24-year-old Jordan T. Romero for a felony failure to appear warrant out of Jasper County. Romero's original charge was for delivery of a controlled substance.
Robert W. Kloeppel, 34, was also taken into custody on a City of Joplin warrant for failure to appear. His original charge was for public consumption.
The Joplin Police Department is asking those with information on the location of Goode to contact them at 417-623-3131. They can also be contacted online at www.joplinpolice.org or on their Facebook page at www.facebook/JoplinPD.
Those with information on the whereabouts of Goode can also contact Heartland Crime Stoppers by calling 417-782-TIPZ or via their web page at www.heartlandtipz.com.

MONROE The Frenchtown Fire Department marshals and Monroe police are investigating a fire that caused extensive damage to the interior of the Monroe Food Center early Monday.
A Monroe police officer on patrol saw smoke at the store, 1104 East Fourth St., about 9:20 a.m. and alerted the Monroe Fire Department, police said.
About the same time, the store owner, who was inside the structure, saw flames in the store. He and his wife, who apparently was the only other person inside, had escaped unhurt, officers said. They did not release the couple s names early Monday afternoon.
When the officer saw smoke coming from the store, he spotted several people nearby, police said. Officers did not say whether those people were detained.
The owner told investigators the store was open at the time but no customers were inside so he decided to walk back to his office. That s when he heard a suspicious noise and saw flames in the store, near the entrance, police said.
Officers are asking anyone with information about the incident to call the detective bureau at 1-734-243-7519.

Reviews for Contest-Winning White Chocolate Cheesecake
"My "go to" cheesecake. The very best I have found and easy to make."
"Altough I prefer dark chocolate cheesecakes like marbled cheesecake, this one was delicious, and it gets even more tasty after a few days in the fridge"
"I really love this recipe, for years people have been asking me to make a cheesecake. I choose this recipe and I am soooo glad I did it's the best cheese cake I have ever had, and I love cheese cake. normally I don't attempt my favorite foods because I don't want to ruin them, but this recipe is so easy to follow that it almost fool proof."
"This was the first cheesecake I've ever made and I absolutely love it! Instead of making a strawberry topping I made blackberry (used 2 cups instead of 1-1/2). I will definitely be using this as a base recipe when I try my next cheesecake: White chocolate Raspberry Swirl."
"Excellent recipe! This was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever made. I paired it with a homemade strawberry sauce....DELICIOUS!! Definite keeper. (I found it needed to be baked for approx.20 min longer)."
"This is one of the recipes that I used for my daughter's wedding. It's creamy, with a hint of white chocolate, and is not overpowering. It also freezes really well. It's very easy to make and I will make it again."

This is some information I compiled for the Aperture 3.0 class I taught at Creativelive.com. The free class is over, but these notes are a continuation thereof. I cannot provide any technical support on this over and above offering the free notes, but if you want to wade through them, I think they might be helpful to most Aperture users. If you purchased (or purchase) the CreativeLive.com Aperture 3 training they will possibly make more sense. They are from the 3rd and final session. I'll post the 25 questions and answers from the session this afternoon here at Photofocus.com. Here are the eight tips and tricks I showed during class. If you're an Aperture user, I guarantee that you won't be familiar with all of them, unless you watched the class (or work at Apple) 🙂
Aperture 3.0 tips & tricks:
1. DOUBLE CLICK any individual slider in the adjustment brick to reset it.
2. SHIFT OPTION + or – Changes the Size of the Loupe Tool Area.
3. HOLD COMMAND key while adjusting crop to remove rule of thirds.
4. COMMAND drag the recovery slide to view color clipping overlays – more accurate way to view and retrieve clipped highlights.
5. HOLD OPTION down when sending an image to external editor to create a new version on export.
6. LIVE WHITE BALANCE PREVIEW TRICK – Click the white balance eyedropper to select a neutral grey. When you click on the image, DON'T release the mouse. Click and hold allows you
to roll over the image and Aperture will update the white balance preview in real time.
7. CROP & STRAIGHTEN SHORTCUT KEYS – You can toggle back and forth between the crop and straighten tools by pressing the C and G keys.
8. CLIPPING OVERLAYS (including with the Vanishing HUD) – when you press the Command key and move the Exposure, Recover, and Black Point sliders, clipping overlays are displayed. But this also works with the new Vanishing HUD, so if you press both Shift and Command when moving these sliders in full screen, the HUD vanishes and the clipping overlays are displayed.

White boy electro future r&b-ist Tom Krell aka How to Dress Well has entered his first new track into 2014, it's called "Words I Don't Remember." Running a little over six minutes long the new track is a soothing mixture of subtle grooviness over airy space synths which eventually meets with his almost falsetto-esque vocals.
Krell stated:
This song for me is about love, trust, commitment... and what happens to these things and, like, what happens to really real love when sentimentality is so co-opted and ruined. What remains of true love in this world of simulations?

Friday, 24 March 2017 Written by // Guest Authors - Revolving Door Categories // Social Media, African, Caribbean and Black, Activism, Gay Men, International , Living with HIV, Opinion Pieces, Revolving Door, Guest Authors
We are in tumultuous times. Just a few years ago, President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton were talking the "end of AIDS" and a few governors even advanced plans to address that lofty goal. Today, we wonder whether at the end of this year we still will have access to the health care we need as people living with HIV. Our representative organizations are largely silent, tense, waiting to see what will happen.
For decades, non-profit organizations were a loud voice in politics and advocacy. At the start, government agencies were slow to recognize HIV and even slower to respond. Community groups were the central service providers and advocates in the HIV epidemic. We invested our lives in these groups, trusting them to speak for us. We felt integral to these community organizations. The world of HIV non-profits has changed dramatically in the past 10-15 years. Many of the small, focused and LGBT-people of color groups have closed. The reliance on governmental funds led shifting political concerns to influence public health funds away from small non-profits and towards medical providers. Other HIV organizations have become clinics or merged with a larger clinic. Lastly, more and more HIV organizations no longer have HIV in their name or mission statement.
(Andrew Spieldenner Ph.D. photo by Linda Cherfas)
I do not blame these organizations for their survival choices. I am acknowledging a field in flux. Advances in science and knowledge have transformed the ways that governmental organizations and service providers envision HIV prevention and care. There are more tools available, including better treatments, leading to more emphasis on clinical interventions. While these clinical interventions are promising and exciting, they fail to address the context of our lives -- such as trauma, lack of support, the need for work and housing, the ways that we manage our hurt, mental health challenges and sexual and reproductive health, just to name a few.
Today, I am waiting to see exciting new leadership emerge in the remaining HIV field. I am part of a generation of HIV activists who have left the professional part of the field. At HIV non-profits, I was employed in a variety of positions: management, evaluation, fundraising and policy analysis. I now work as a professor at a university. I still engage in HIV advocacy and community building as part of the largely volunteer group, the United States People Living With HIV Caucus. I am a gay man of color openly living with HIV, and I no longer see a place for my kind of leadership in HIV agencies.
The precarious position we are in
I still see HIV organizations that do not have any mechanism or system through which people living with HIV can provide meaningful feedback. Many agencies bring their community advisory boards together regularly for dinner and a good time, not to deeply understand the direction of the agency. Criticism is heard as disloyalty, and often people living with HIV are fearful of our tiny place at the table being taken away or our services being impacted. While I hear service providers scoff at this, I wonder why they can't recognize the precarious position we are in.

The Costs/Benefits of a Common Monetary Policy in France and Germany and Possible Lessons for Monetary Union
In order to study the costs/benefits of a monetary union between Germany and France, we attempt to go beyond a mere focus on asymmetries and examine what each country would have lost or gained had there been a common monetary policy. We try to identify the macro effects of such a change within a structural VAR model, which is first estimated by employing mixed long-run and short-run identification schemes and subsequently simulated under the restrictions of a common monetary policy. Our analysis centres on the effect of identical monetary policy on movements in output inflation and the current account. We also study the effects on interest rate differentials in order to draw possible inferences about monetary integration. Based on the usual interpretations of national preferences in both countries, the results imply that, if anything, Germany would lose from any French participation in the setting of domestic monetary policy. By contrast, however, France would clearly gain from corresponding German participation in French decision-making.

Goodbye Southland, Goodbye
CANNES, FRANCE"It's a big, epic, political cartoon told with subversive humor," says a bruised but not beaten Richard Kelly. The phrase has become a mantra for the 31-year-old Virginia-born, L.A.-based director of 2001's Donnie Darko and the new Southland Tales. In a fortnight of flops, this terrific, sprawling satire has become a true film maudit, and Kelly is the festival's designated punching bag.
You can't blame the guy for wanting to get his message across: In a mad, mad, mad, mad world, narrative structure remains an important vehicle to counterbalance the prevailing powers, the same ones that repress freedom stateside and, in Cannes, suppress overweening ambitionespecially when it comes from a Yank.
But he slips occasionally from his talking points: "Well, maybe it's like someone took mushrooms and read the Book of Revelation and had this crazy pop dream," he says. In the context of Southland Tales' Dick-Vonnegut-Pynchon cuckoo- conspiracy fiction, that man is Justin Timberlake, playing a disfigured Iraq war vet named Pilot Abilenewhich is also the Texas city decimated by suitcase nukes.

In Kelly's film, the terrorist attack leads to a severe constriction of civil liberties in a not-too-distant (nor unrecognizable) U.S. "The original draft was written just before 9-11, and it was about blackmail and a porn star and two cops," he says. "It was more about making fun of Hollywood. But now it's about, I hope, creating a piece of science fiction that's about a really important problem we're facing, about civil liberties and homeland security and needing to sustain both those things and balance them. The problem is very complicatedhence the nature of the narrative."
Anticipating the question of re-editing, Kelly brings it up first. "I certainly would imagine that when this movie is seen in theaters it's going to be significantly different," he says, hinting that he'll have to keep the basics of the story line involving the three stars (the Rock's amnesiac action hero, Sarah Michelle Gellar's porn starcumTV host, and Seann William Scott's twin brother cops), but jettison almost everything else.
"I think I have no choice in the matter because I want this movie to be seen," he says. "But I want to make sure that we can hold on to the complicated structure because it's very, very thought-out. We spent years designing it, and I think upon first viewing it rushes over you and leaves you in a daze."
He'd better not cut one of the film's music video inserts, a phenomenal lip-synched version of the Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" by Timberlake while tripping on "fluid karma" (a Dickian hallucinogen that's also the source for the evil German corporation's alternative zeppelin power . . . for real). "I hope that stays in the movie, yeah, as I actually think that's the film's heart and soul," Kelly says. "When I heard the Killers song I thought, wow . . . it really breaks my heart."
"I can see how easy it might be to be defeated by the system," he continues, "because maybe I'm being defeated by it right now. But at least I got to make two movies the way I wanted to."

So news broke this morning that FX picked a June 28th premiere date for Charlie Sheen's new show, Anger Management. While I'm not thrilled that Charlie Sheen's back on our TV screens, I thought that maybe he deserved a second chance. Then I saw his Fiat "house arrest" commercial that was "too hot" for the Super Bowl and remembered that Charlie Sheen's had several second chances throughout his career and has yet to take actual responsibilty for anything he's done. His life's one big joke and he's happy to laugh along. After all, laughing is a lot easier than apologizing.
For the same reasons I hold Chris Brown responsible for being a bad role model for his legions of fans, I also hold Charlie Sheen responisble. While no one aspires to be famous in hopes of becoming a role model held to higher standards than the rest of society, it's undeniable that it's part of the job. In exchange for fame and money comes responsibility. A calling to raise up above criminal behavior and be a positive role model for fans. When you consider how many doors being famous opens, it seems like a small price to pay.
While Charlie Sheen's early career was full of small mishaps and questionable situations, such as sleeping with hookers and accidentally shooting his fiance Kelly Preston in the arm, it wasn't until 2010 that everything began to spiral out of control. The more money Charlie made on Two and a Half Men, the more drugs he seemed to do and the less he seemed to care about the show. Reports frequently came out that he prevented filming for various irresponsible reasons. Yet, he still got paid more than any other television actor and Two and a Half Men was still the highest-rated TV show.
Finally in 2011, the show fired him — setting him off on a manic press tour and later, an actual "Torpedo of Truth" tour. Suddenly his cocaine use looked like the least of his problems and we were actually starring head on at someone in the throes of a Bipolar breakdown. Winning and Tiger Blood went from being funny sayings to some kind of vague mental illness confession. The public, finally uncomfortable, turned away from the self-destructive disaster that was Charlie Sheen.
Without the public to egg him on, he went away for awhile. Then he resurfaced recently to announce his new television show. He appeared healthy and coherent and like I said, I was ready to forgive him. Especially since no one else really said anything negative about his return. For all the critiques written about him last summer, everyone remained pretty quiet about him being allowed to star on a new show.
But then I saw the commercial below which shows me he felt no remorse for anything that's happened. His life, his notoriety is a giant joke to him. The commercial, which pokes fun at all the trouble got into last year, makes a joke of what happened. House arrest is totally awesome!
Except to anyone who actually cares about him. I doubt they found his breakdown last year all that funny. I doubt his children will look back and laugh at all the great memories of custody battles, drug abuse, and rehab stints.
So let's stop supporting actors who don't set good examples. Let's start support actors who are worthy of our support, admiration and our money. Otherwise, what message are we sending to Hollywood?

I'd love to revisit this in the future and polish it up!
I have to agree with sircllckalot3, some thing can be improved, I however, enjoyed the game very much! The graphics were cute, fun and "attention grabbing", the enemies provided an excellent level of difficulty and you really felt like you were actually, so-to-say, a tiny visitor!
I especially loved the music on lvl.3 , sub-lvl.
... It made me feel ever so eager to reach the top!
If there was one thing i could change, it would be the movement of the bosses minions on lvl.3... Maybe just up and down?
Thank you for the great game!
I dunno what'swrong with that guy under me. It's a very cute game! And even with very limited controls you were able to make bosses. That's pretty impressive! At least i think so...
Anyway just ignore that guy below me. No one likes haters.
broken hit boxes, frustrating jumps, and shamelessly stolen music. i give you a 2 for effort since i know how hard it is to make a good game. good luck in your future projects.
Very good game. My only complaint is the boss at the top of the Might Tower is very very very difficult with only 3 bugs to provide the 3 needed bounces to bop the boss, AND you can't be damaged other than when bopping the boss. Very challenging, but also frustrating. I did beat it (Yay me), at least. Also, props for The Final Countdown 8-bit song.
Pro tip to others: Believe it or not, the beetles on the tree are predictable. They have 2 distinct moving patterns occurring at the same time: a constant moving speed, which differs with that of its branch partner if there is one, and the timing between jumps is the same, and again differs with that of its branch partner. You have to pay attention to these and it will be (somewhat) a piece of cake.
OMG! This game was so dan fun! I actually cant believe he survived that first huge fall :3

Asobi Seksu + Tyvek + Generationals
23 Mar 2009: The Spanish Moon Baton Rouge, LA
When Asobi Seksu's recordings serenade you in your living room, the band may sound as if they are creating to obscure their creation. It's a move that would probably make the shoegazing Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine proud. But at their live show, you will have trouble holding your gaze anywhere but up. Instead, you'll do as Asobi Seksu's bandleader Yuki Chikudate does—you'll headbang and dance.
The evening's venue, the Spanish Moon, provides a four-star alternative rock dive bar—the only alt rock commodity on the Gulf Coast stretch of I-10 between New Orleans and Houston. The Gulf Coast finds its identity in casinos, Morgan Fairchild doppelgangers, and LSU football. I've seen experienced urbanites starve here for a year and leave, defeated, gladly returning to the pretense, neuroticism, and elephantine rents of the edgy and highly cultured. For those who stick it out in the Gulf, New York's Asobi Seksu at the Spanish Moon ranks somewhere between the equinox and the Beatles at Shea Stadium.
The openers, New Orleans' Generationals, do their best Spoon and New Pornographers impression. The songwriting is downright catchy and would sound nice in your car or home, but their live show is a disaster. The lead singer is visibly nervous and too self-aware on stage, no one speaks between songs, and guitars are tuned loudly while other band members are still performing chords to end the previous song. Generationals play as if someone pried one wall off of a rehearsal space to let the audience peek in. The show isn't for them, but neither is it for the audience, and one half-expects them to stop playing if someone in the band gets a cell phone call mid-song. To punctuate their lack of energy, the vocalist gets confused during the second verse of their closing number, a cover of James' "Laid", sapping the vigor from even this tune, possibly the simplest and catchiest known to humankind.
Detroit's Tyvek takes the stage next. Lead singer Brett Dennen may double for Napoleon Dynamite, but with two bandmates that look like not-so-distant relatives of Motorhead and the Stooges, will their sound equal their rock facade? The concert begins awkwardly; mainly because of the drastic mood change from the sweetness of Generationals' tambourine pop to the grease and oil of minimalist Detroit power punk. The first songs do not catch fire, and Dennen faces his bass player when singing, robbing the band of a large stage presence. But each band member has an odd subconscious dance, even the drummer, who stands while playing. The dances start to grow on you, as does their commitment to zero pretense, and by the third song, the crowd is hollering. To prove I'm not alone, my girlfriend shouts into my ear "I don't like this music, but they play like a band". Compliments from the enemy are better than compliments from the friendly.
Tyvek sounds like Detroit, but an older Detroit. The White Stripes come to mind, but Tyvek doesn't have a hint of the purposeful musical chameleon-ship of the Stripes, and the vocals don't have the rock-god banshee-ness of Jack White. Tyvek's music is far less crafted, and faux heavy-metal screams are replaced by Dennen's less acrobatic baritone alongside chugging power chords. Tyvek are also technically challenged. Their attempts at mid-song silence are often not silent, but they are not playing down to be minimalist or retro. Their mistakes prove they are doing all they can to play their songs, so while your finer sensibilities may be offended at moments, the Gods of American Punk reassure you that Tyvek is giving you your cover charge's worth of menthol-and-jean-jacketed Dodge Charger rock.
As if to underscore the small-club setting, Asobi Seksu (a Japanese term meaning "playful sex") take the stage and begin setting up their gear. Vocalist Chikudate dances and swirls to the house music as the band fine-tune the stage settings. After disappearing briefly, the band return. Clearly, everyone in the house has attended to see them. The bar and pool tables empty. The front of the stage fills. The band triggers a digital loop, and the show begins.
From the onset, it is clear that the band prefers volume and subtlety in its live shows. The evening's performances attempt textures that most bands wouldn't try live. Seksu negotiate musical precipices effortlessly, letting themselves and the audience roll through a never-ending succession of moods from synth pop to shoegaze to guitar warble to the quietude of xylophone interludes accompanied only by Chikudate's clear voice. While shoegaze and dream-pop have always treated the vocals as just another instrument, the band's newer material from Hush keeps the shoegaze emphasis on melody without sacrificing a fore-grounded vocal performance. The softness of the interludes highlights just how paper thin Seksu's live texture can be—thin as a Japanese paper kite pushed and pulled in cyclone winds, a metaphor that defines the band for most of the set.
But the band isn't all vacillation between thin paper and tidal waves of industrial-sized pop power. "This song's about fruit," Chikudate laughs, as the band launches into "Strawberries", a tune dipped in the psychedelia of the Velvet Underground imitating the Beach Boys. Chikudate's humor over the evening distances the band from the East Coast disaffection or the coolness of reserve ala Velvet Underground, nameable '90s shoegaze icons, or fellow New Yorkers' like the Strokes. Seksu's live show, even when at an adrenaline roar, closes the distance between you and the world, rather than suggesting you observe it from afar or forego participation altogether.
"Thursday", perhaps Seksu's most popular tune, isn't rolled out like a hit. The band play the song mid-set with a one-line introduction unaccompanied by a search for recognition or approval. The song blossoms live into not a radio-friendly lotus flower, but into an extended sturm und drang that would sink songs twice its size. Much of the credit must be given to drummer Larry Gorman, an unstoppable beast of a performer who makes the muscular presence of the band possible. Gorman generates the thunder that accompanies the silence and sheeted glass of Seksu's sound.
While the band shifts gears at times, such as on "Pink Cloud Tracing Paper", which features guitarist James Hanna taking lead vocals, "Red Sea", from the band's second album, Citrus, defines the locus of Seksu's live power. The pounding sixteenth-note tom-toms, far more prominent in the live mix than on album, provide a live grounding so that the layered textures of guitar, bass, and synthesizer do not float upward to the rafters, but remain thunder under glass. Perhaps it is my position thirty feet up in the Spanish Moon's tiny balcony, but Seksu's sounds are so concentrated they could support migration. And this isn't due to volume. Yes, the band is loud, but the tones don't ruffle the ears; the tones lodge lower, in the chest, and Seksu's medium tempos replace your beating heart for the duration of the evening.
Recognizing their gift horse, the band closes with overwhelming feedback and fuzz, so much a force of its own that it continues while Chikudate moves behind the drum kit to pound out a tribal motif. Drummer Gorman does his best Johnny Greenwood, taking over the pedal effects of guitarist Hanna, who bangs his strings once more, then sets his guitar down to feedback. The band exits the stage and climbs the staircase to the balcony, their instruments still feeding back like a gale meeting a maelstrom. I see Chikudate and company playfully peer over the balcony at their own noise, then disappear down a hallway, leaving their detonations of thunder and glass behind them.

ive noticed buffer overflow messages in my dmesg output and i want to figure out whats causing them but dont know how. i have a list of event id's that have associated overflows: 1160 1170 1174 how do i find out which app is causing the overflows? a buffer overflow can be exploited, so this would be a security issue and can risk opening up android for an exploit ... posted via android
the actual messages are listed as evdev (event device) with the prefix event1- and then the 4 digit code. these are related to either an app or process but cant find out, there is not enough info i can find on this topic. maybe someone over in a linux forum may know .... posted via android
hard to believe no one on this forum has any background with android OS and what the buffer overflow issue might be .... can someone who writes apps please chime in/help out ?
the only thing i can think of would be to run ps & figure out what apps are running. maybe try a fresh install and narrow it down to system apps.. my phones not currently working, so i have no way to check any of this out.
turns out one of the processes was Compass ... i installed it from android market. an app i got and never really used. so i deleted it, cleared the sys log and restarting now to see what else appears .... i totally forgot about ps, used to use it in ubuntu a while back. thanks for reminding me .... EDIT: despite removing the app, seems to be still appearing as a different event id, another event id also appears. so there's one process that reports to /system/bin and the other that belongs to system_server .... i think these are part of the android OS/system, not 100% sure.
look at the log, download catlog from market or type in a terminal 'su' then 'logcat -d *:E' Do 'logcat -h' to see all codes (the *:E is for all errors).
thanks for this ... is there a way to get this output into a file so i can pull it up on a pc & look at it in detail ? easier to interpret that way ...
I suggest installing the android sdk for windows, with adb you can gain a live shell connection to your android device for realtime debugging and such.
so long as i can print the output to a file i should be fine. i want to show the log to google. i have some modules frozen using titanium ... i doubt that would be causing the overflows, but not entirely sure of how motorola wrote their components to interact with android and the hardware. posted via android

Yesterday Rovio teased fans about an upcoming update for their physics-based puzzle game that is all about the pigs in the Angry Birds universe called Bad Piggies. When we reported on the update, which is being tentatively called Road Hogs, we didn't have too many details about it at the time. Well now we have a bit more information and Road Hogs will actually be a new mode to play in Bad Piggies.
This update is apparently going to come with 30 new levels for the 'Flight in the Night' episode and the Road Hogs part of the update is actually going to be a new mode available in the game. What exactly is this new Road Hogs mode? Well we still don't know anything about it and Rovio is keeping pretty quite about it.
Usually when Rovio introduces any sort of new mode or mechanic in any of their games, they tend to be pretty good. We will just have to wait until Rovio decided to let the details slip out unfortunately. As of right now there is still no word on exactly when this update will arrive.

Impressive times for the Z. I wasn't aware that it was actually that fast. However, if you're going by Motor Trend numbers, the current Mustang GT is about a half second quicker in the quarter mile. And on several different occassions, C&D has demonstrated that the Mustang GT is quicker than either the regular Z or Nismo version around a road course.
Certainly things like feel and looks are far more subjective. I can certainly appreciate someone preferring the looks and drive of a Z over any of the other performance coupes between say, $28k and $35k. I may have been one of them if not for the ludicrous price of the Z.

I was planning to get the rear gears all setup tonight, but when I checked the engagement it looks like my pinion is not engaged enough, so tomorrow I need to hunt down a crush sleeve. Last time I regeared a Sami I got lucky and could re-use the old ones, but it looks like someone really cranked down on the pinion nut hard at some time in the past.

Crush sleeves are apparently unavailable locally and back ordered nationally. So my plan is to blow apart some of my spare axles and hopefully I'll have some with usable sleeves in them. The pinion shaft diameter is actually just slightly thicker than a Dana 44 pinion shaft :what: so I may take some spare 44 shims and bore them out to use in conjunction with the sleeve. Either that or a big ol hardware store washer ;)

Fired up the new plasma and cut off the backing plates from a set of spare rear shafts, leaving only a square ring that acts as a flange to hold in the bearing. This will be much easier to pack spare rear shafts on the trail.

Centers of the original rear drums cut out with the plasma to fit inside the front discs. The writeup I'm following said to machine them, but there is no need. The lug studs will be holding the new "ring" to the discs.

This morning started with the removal of the driver fender flare to start figuring out what I was going to do about tire clearance now that the 31s are mounted up.
Lots of rust under the old inner flare bracket. Using the old inner bracket as a template I cut out most of the rust with the plasma. Making a few final cuts with a sawzall up near the headlight area I was able to remove the stock inner fender in one big piece, leaving only now the greatly enlarged wheel opening. And replacing the inner fender, pushing it up 2 inches higher than it was before. Welding thin Japanese sheetmetal is a pain with .035 wire! I really need to set up an .023 machine! The only modification necessary to the body tub that was necessary to raise the inner fenders was to slice and hammer over this small lip under the brake booster. Top view of re-installed inner fender. I even took the time to cut and reweld the three small brackets that work as braces/stiffeners. The tiny factory jack still fits under the hood too.

After picking up the kids from school I spent some time finishing up the rear disc swap. I know this looks rough, but it is totally functional. This was also a "dry run" Idea and I may clean it up later. I followed the instructions as were posted in the earlier link. My only small modification/add to them was to tack weld the spacer washers (top of caliper bracket) because I could already see them falling out into the mud on the trail during a repair since they are sandwiched between the caliper and bracket. Now, rear shaft replacement is a 15-20 minute job tops, vs. an hour plus for original drum setups.

The raising of the passenger side inner fender went faster now that I had an idea where to cut and what to do. After everything was welded up on both sides I went ahead and sprayed the "fixed" areas with spray bedliner in a can, since that's apparently what one of the previous owners of this rig already did. I was impressed how well it blended in.
I did take the time to measure the "virtual lift" and both inner fenders were raised exactly two inches. I probably could have pushed it another inch, but there would have been several other clearance issues I'd have to deal with. At two inches I have just enough room to make everything work. Here is a shot of the drivers side, you can see the stainless header is now installed. I had to add about 6 inches to the O2 sensor wire. Last edited by kkodet; September 19th, 2013 at 08:41 PM. |

The actor is healthy and energetic, more so at 45 years old, and she tells us how she does it
Bollywood actors between 45-50 years of age like Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit-Nene have never had it so good. Scripts are being written keeping their age in mind and their films are doing quite well at the box office and in the hearts of audiences and critics alike.
But little does the doting audience realise that each of these actors has to work on maintaining their fitness levels and looks, on a daily basis. We chanced upon a website where Madhuri revealed the secret to her good health and glowing skin. The actor said that even with her gruelling shoot schedules and meetings, she follows a strict fitness routine and a rigid diet, eating small meals and catching some sleep whenever possible. She also keeps away from the vices of smoking and drinking, which are indulged in by some of today's young actors. Says Mads, "I work out at least six days a week, eat healthy and sleep well. I don't drink or smoke. One should have five to six small, healthy meals a day."
Madhuri's skin was once a problem area – she had bad acne and has said that she would look at herself in the mirror and cry. But now, she gets compliments on her skin. Apart from using beauty products, she says one should "maintain vitamin and mineral intake. The most important factors are to protect against stress, the harsh effects of the sun and the environment". And we'd like to believe you're not in the Botox habit, Mads!
None of this is new for our B-town gals like Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and so on, who know how to take care of themselves pretty well. But let's see if they manage to look as good as Mads does when they cross 40!

Golden Globes: Ben Affleck's Argo scoops two awards
14 January 2013 Last updated at 18:45 GMT
Ben Affleck has won best director and best drama for his film Argo at the Golden Globe awards.
Best actor in a drama went to Daniel Day-Lewis for his role in the biopic Lincoln, while British singer Adele won best song for the theme to the James Bond film Skyfall.
Alastair Leithead reports from Los Angeles.
