RIP Leslie Nielsen

As Zach got on today, he told me that Leslie Nielsen had passed away.

At first i was like "Dammit, another celebrity i liked".

But as the day goes by, I'm starting to realize how many of his movies I actually really really liked.

From the airplane movies, to naked gun movies, the police squad show, spy hard, wrongfully accused, among other movies that i really like.

He's easily in more than half of the movies i like to re-watch every now and then. And unlike other celebrity deaths, I'm actually bummed by his death.

Games that play themselves

This is honestly a odd "fad" nowadays, has gaming sunk this low?

Now you might b thinking "Oh but Tof, this is just a Kinect game, and those suck anyway. Also yiff in hell furfag!".

That's true, but regular gaming is affected too:

I hate to b that old guy that bitches about everything, but gaming nowadays sucks horribly.

Steam has a thing right now where 30 random people a day get the top 5 games on their wishlist, so i go and make one, and i realize "oh god, there's NOTHING i want!"

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing i want on Steam, i still would like Starcraft 2, but money's tight. Those sales on steam have been VERY tempting though.

God damn camping whores!

bad day on TF2 today.

Steam sales! finally!

I admit i've been waiting on this:

There's going to be daily sales on steam for a week, more or less.

What i didn't expect was those huge pack deals, i mean, 10 copies of HL2 for 20 bucks? damn son. (Also if anyone buys that can i get one?)

Steam is also gonna do this thing where 30 people a day will get the top 5 items on their wish list.

Guys, keep on eye out for steam, might b worth it.

Poker Night: Heavy's "funny" story

I gotta say, Poker night is actually a nice change of pace. was totally worth it's price and is providing me with hours of fun.

I think i almost looped through all the dialogue though, but that's to b expected. Still as poker games go this is a really well made one.

Here's the already famous "engi story":

The main appeal is to hear about the characters, for me, specifically about the heavy, and man i was a lil surprised there.

What's the point?

The other day i was on watchop.com and they had a countdown timer to the release of their latest video, down to the seconds.

Waiting til the time ran out, and then, nothing happened. only a hour or so later did the damn thing got online.

In a similar way, Poker Night at the Inventory is supposed to come out today, 5 hours ago it said it'd b out in 3 hours.

Not surprisingly, am still waiting for the damn thing to b online. even been dicking around and found the link to make steam install the app (steam://install/31289) but there's no files to install yet.

Why do motherfuckers do countdowns they can't keep? honestly!

Looks Like An Ice Cream Accident

...Not that I'm complaining. For some reason, that one image of young Lady Like (I guess she was just Like back then) where she's ecstatically consuming a sundae leads me to believe that not only does she have a bit of a sweet tooth, but she's also somewhat ... overweight.



...Don't tell her I said that, though.

Finally! poker night release date announced

It was actually announced a few days ago, but on the Telltale blog. So most people still dunno about it.

Anyway, you can expect poker night at the inventory to become available on November 22nd, aka, Monday.

Darn cheating browser

I mentioned the Acid 3 test to a friend today and ended up looking for information on it on the wiki page, and found some intresting info:

In May and June, Google Chrome 2.0 and Opera Mobile 9.7 beta displayed a score of 100/100, but did not actually pass; release versions of these browsers passed fully later in the year. Security concerns over downloadable fonts delayed Chrome from passing.

As naive of me as it seems, it never occurred to me that the score on the test could not be accurate.

Based on Acid 3 i always considered Chrome to b an accurate browser, however, it always seemed to fuck up the layout work i do royally.

But then, if u scroll down the wiki page, there's something odd.

It lists all 4 browsers that passed the Acid 3 test so far, however, Chrome is marked as "dubious".

I am currently making a new blog and Wiki skin, and both show differently on Firefox (which is what i use to develop it) and on Chrome. So i decide to download Opera which is confirmed to have passed the Acid 3 test as well.

The result? it's nothing like Chrome. It's actually almost dead on like Firefox (which gets 94% at the test). Even IE looks closer to what it's suposed to be than Chrome. Chrome's "real" score might actually be way bellow 90%.

I'm suspecting Chrome just has specific coding in it to "pass" the Acid 3 test so the browser would get a good rep, which in honesty would be a really clever plan.

I'm officially no longer making my layouts support Chrome at all, I am pissed for having wasted so many hours, days even, trying to get a layout to show up properly on Firefox IE and Chrome when Chrome, who was supposed to be the accurate one, displayed everything all over the place like a drunken retard.

He never knew what hit him

Subtle... It's very subtle, but very clever.

Some of ya may not get it, even if you play the game.

Game review: TrackMania Nations Forever

"What the hell is he reviewing?" is probably what you're asking.

Well, a while back i took it upon myself to try out a lot of the free games that are available on Steam. A lot of them were quite bad, some were Ok, 1 was actually a lot of fun for me though.

Admire my lazy ass paint job with the "cox" logo in the back!

TrackMania Nations Forever - Steamstore page

What's it about?

It's a car racing game, however, most of the time you race against the clock.

Why is it fun?

The controls are just so sweet it's a pleasure to drive. quite easy to pick up and play, yet hard to master.

Them slopes can be tricky i tells ya!

Don't b fooled by the looks of the game too much (cause it sure fooled me a lot), this is a very arcade like game, It's very fast and yet easy to drive.

And to keep frustration to minimum, there's even an instantly retry button. And by instant, i do mean instant, it's like a freakin save state.

It's not as bad as u think, but for the one on the right, it's worse than you think.

Another fun part of this game is the really crazy and original tracks which add to both the challenge and the fun. Even though some simply aren't sane and make take the better part of 30mins to beat.

Tracks have different types, such as obstacle, race, acrobatic, endurance, speed. Each requires a diferent skill to b able to beat. I beleive there are 65 tracks or so total.

So if it's so good why is it free?

Because there's another version with even more content.

Promote a game with a game, i guess that works.

Although the game is actually really big, plays nice, has multiplayer (which i haven't tried) and has a track editor, It's meant to get u to buy the more complete version which has more stuff including more cars and more game modes.

In short, this is meant to promote the other game.

As a side note, it seems that version came out for the Wii and the 3DS i think, there's some ad ingame about it.

The joys of driving in a straight line, a rare event in this type of track.

Verdict

I guess some people don't like arcade like racing games, i normally don't like racing games but this was really fun. the graphics are nice and simple, subtle yet tasteful lighting makes it enjoyable to look at and the soundtrack keeps u pumped up to play the game.

This is totally a DO WANT game. You should at least try it before dismissing it as another racing game because you might be surprised.

It reminded me a lot of Moto Racer 1, which i loved cause of the simplicity and cause i almost never had to let go of the gas.

Capcom + SNK

This has been on my mind for a long time now. I've always wondered what it would be like if CAPCOM and SNK did what Marvel and DC did when they were struggling, merge their worlds together. What kind of characters would we get? I have been toying with the idea in my sketchbook for a while now, and these are just a few early designs that I have transferred digitally sketch-wise. Of these three I only like the Chris Redfield + Ralf Jones hybrid. Though thinking about it now naming him Chris Jones would give him a porn name...which could be better. XD

Sengoku Razz

Missing from this pic: needlessly complicated smiley face pattern on her kimono.

While Gary's affection for Razz isn't based on shallow things like her appearance or wealth, I figured I'd have his personal vision of Razz be overtly attractive, just to represent how much he likes her. See also: Boa Hancock's pretty-boy Luffy vision.

Rozalike

While failing to think of what to type for this, I realize I could totally use Devil Frog for Tink and it'd still make sense.

Funniest thing I've seen on 4chan in ages

Me and Zach laughed for 5 mins straight, I fell off my chair.

Dusty Wii and RPG nostalgia

For about a week now, it's been on my mind that I haven't really used my Wii in well over 6 months, i don't really look for games to play on it and i havent heard of anything that great for the Wii either.

There was "Metroid: Other M" a while back, which i heard was annoying cause of the characterization of Samus. And really it just strikes me as a FPS game so i didn't care for it.

Watched Spoony's D&D unboxing Video the other day, And whenever someone starts talking about clerics, rangers and paladins, I have this urge to play as one of those having adventures in dungeons and fighting monsters.

I fucking love those settings.

I was bored.

However no such game seems to exists.

I tried D&D online since the game is free, but it turns out to b a ugly version of WoW with worse controls. Seriously don't recomend it.

Tried getting back to Ragnarok online, but let's not speak of that.

Really wish there was some game i could sink some hours in.

If anyone has good Wii games to recommend or games for PC in a medieval setting, please do.

Sweet day

Today is a good day, why? well i'll tell ya.

2 days ago, my ISP was down for 50 mins, and while it was down, I randomly decided to dick around with my modem settings and found the port forwarding options, which were oddly hidden.

As a result, I got the Oekaki is back up. Which is good cause i was lazy about removing the button on the side.



Another reason today is good is cause i thought another of my cats went missing (would had been 7th one this year) but turns out he took a day off.

Yet another reason today is great is because i made a rather awesome deal in TF2, as shown bellow:

Yes, i got a Vintage Kabuto hat for 7 weapons. I'm that awesome. I'm thinking of lending it to Zach if he likes it.

Kinda sucks that Zach currently can't play TF2 cause his connection drops if he tries. So I've been getting items AND hats that we both need/want by myself. And doing a damn good job at that.

Speaking of TF2, According to the TF2 Blog, If you pre-purchase "Poker Night at the Inventory", You automatically get 1 hat for the heavy and when the game is online you can earn 5 more items for TF2.

I wouldn't normally consider it, but the game is really really cheap.

And still on the subject of TF2, I submitted my 2nd model to the TF2 "contribute" site:

It's a misc slot pipe for the Spy. I suggested that it'd b used for the medic and sniper as well, but i don't think it will be done.

Simply because for the spy, it's easy, he has bones already there cause of his cigarette. The other classes have nothing to attach it to.

Good day indeed.

"You are already fainted"

It's a spur of the moment thing, but I still kinda like how this one turned out.
