Fuck! That! Cake!

There’s an inside joke that we have among several of my friends that resulted in me thinking up the idea for a game show titled: Fuck! That! Cake!

As I talked about the idea of Fuck! That! Cake! with my friends, the concept grew and grew and now we have a definitive game show that will allow the hyper-crazy world of Japanese reality TV to be brought into American homes in what promises to be the cross-culturalization of the decade. Here’s the pitch:

It’s ½ Legend of the Hidden Temple, ½ American Gladiator, ½ Ace of Cakes. Don’t correct my improper fraction you dolt, it’s 3/2’s the show of any other game show you’ve ever seen, so don’t question it.

Contestants will forge their way through a silly and ridiculous obstacle course to reach the final platform where they can enter the “Weapon Room” inside they will get to pick from various foam weapons and then zip-line down to “Cake Zone Alpha” to fight off world class chefs who have constructed an elaborate 30-foot cake and are sworn to defend it. If the contestant is successful in vanquishing all the combatants, then they WIN! But how much? That’s for the studio audience and a stupid talking stone carving to decide…

Here are the two options: if they cake looks awesome, then they can keep the cake and have it air-lifted via helicopter to one location of their choice (no matter how ridiculous or how far away), OR if the audience doesn’t like the cake made for the particular episode, then they can vote to convince the contestant to FUCK! THAT! CAKE!

If the contestant decides to Fuck! That! Cake!, they have a chance to win a cash equivalent instead. Money rains down from the ceiling but they only get to keep money that lands on parts of the cake. So to maximize their prize, they have to put down their weapon, adorn a panda mascot outfit that’s been rigged with a giant strap-on dildo and literally fuck the cake all over the studio to spread it out and make a mess to improve the odds of the money landing on the cake.

“You gotta fuck it fast, to win the cash; and that’s how we play Fuck! That! Cake!”

I’m thinking about pitching the idea to HBO…

Apex Alpha Behavior

Three apex alphas: Churchill, Roosevelt and Truman.

Two tales that may, or may not be true.

That Roosevelt knew that Pearl Harbor was going to be bombed and let it happen so America would be engaged in World War II and that Churchill knew that the city of Coventry was going to be bombed and let it happen so as to protect the fact that they had cracked the German’s code machine.

It does not matter whether these stories are true or not.

What matters is that there are people that do believe them, they believe these men were perfectly capable of letting horrible things happen for long term reasons and purposes. (I am not debating whether any of these choices were moral, the fact that they are all debatable means they are morally questionable no matter what).

One tale that is true: Truman ordered the use of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

This is why honesty, trustworthiness and similar attributes are “beta.”

An Apex Alpha can get away with anything and people believe they have.

The rules do not apply to them.

When we are discussing the difference between Alpha and Beta behaviors, we are talking about behaviors that excite women and those that categorize men as “unexciting” or seen as a “provider” or perhaps a willing victim of the woman’s vampire urges.

Can “alpha” men be good fathers, I do not preclude that, but simply being a father has the stink of beta.  Being a father is definitionally a beta behavior.  There is no way around it.  Being a good father is absolutely beta behavior.  Being a good father is something to be lauded in society (it is not).

The true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art. -George Bernard Shaw.

Women are not attracted to good fathers, I can’t count the number of times I have heard a woman say to a man, “You’ll make a good father some day” but it is said by a woman that has absolutely no interest in the man romantically.

If you can not wrap your head around the fact that a lot of good, worthy and noble behaviors signal that you are a “Beta” to women then God help you, you’re a Renfield.

Women do not select the best man.

This is why civilization always crumbles with the sexual liberation of the women.  It always has in the past and its happening right now.

Learning the art of computer games good for the brain

Or at least the art of building computer games.

ScienceDaily — Computer games have a broad appeal that transcends gender, culture, age and socio-economic status. Now, computer scientists in the US think that creating computer games, rather than just playing them could boost students’ critical and creative thinking skills as well as broaden their participation in computing. They discuss details in the current issue of the International Journal of Social and Humanistic Computing.

Nikunj Dalal, Parth Dalal, Subhash Kak, Pavlo Antonenko, and Susan Stansberry of Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, outline a case for using rapid computer game creation as an innovative teaching method that could ultimately help bridge the digital divide between those people lacking computer skills and access and those with them.

Determining the Best-FLV vs PNGs

Well we were undecided on which to use: a png sequence or an flv. Today made my mind up. Each has plenty of benefits. If you want a low file size, then stick with a flv. The benefits of the png sequence is efficiency.

Our test for same animation with 1 flv and a png sequence

FLV size: 95kb

PNG size 1,791kb

FVL performance: Lots of lag on 200 copies

PNG performance: No(or little) lag at 400 copies

Conclusion

So our conclusion is to obviously use a png sequence rather than an flv, since we want efficiency. To deal with the extreme file size, we will increase our compression.

Most people don’t realise the terrific cruelty involved in the commercial shooting industry, not least in the horrific forms of trapping used by gamekeepers to control ‘pest’ species. Here, a squirrel has been caught in a Fenn Trap; and yet the shooting lobby will tell you that non-target species hardly ever get caught. Make your own mind up…

Dancing Queen-Selfish [H][+18]

~ the following material contains explicit sexual stuff…do not read it if you’re still underage ~ not safe for work!!!!

Yet again…another H game but with a more familiar story.

Don’t you recognize the character? It’s Lala Satalin from To Love Ru.

If you saw that anime, you probably know that we deal with aliens and this flash game it’s not an exception. We forget about the romantic story that the anime gave us and we go hard..and I mean hard…into some electrical body-love.

Our sweet Lala is hunted down by an evil alien who will force-fuck her with some electric wires :) ).

That’s something new into-rape torture hentai.

This game only has 5 chapter and only 3 real player intervention attempts.

But the are different from the previous game.

The player has more things…to do to Lala :) ).

Of course I’ll not post them here but you can imagine that or you can get the game.

As in too much violent behaviour..this game lacks that. Lala is forced to do some things but in the end..like a real bitch she will do things on her own.

And why I must say again that I fucking hate hoes??

App Review - Rio BlackJack

Something a bit different for you guys! Today im going to do an app review for the iPod Touch / iPhone c:
Its a game, by the name of Rio BlackJack, made by Tecmo

Black Jack being one of the very few card games i actually know how to play this is actually quite fun… The loading times are short and the main character Rio, is also the person you play against and try to beat. It all kicks off with placing your bet, you can choose from 1, 5, 10 and 25 if youre feeling lucky, when youve tapped your bet in, tap Rio to let her know youre ready to go

When the bets are in its time to play! And its really straight forward too c:

Basically, if you don’t know how Black Jack works you need to get closest to 21 to win or if i remember rightly if you get some jacks you get Black Jack… I guess im not fully aware of the rules afterall xD;
Worth a note, Rio is animated as well which is a nice touch, the animation is smooth, though sometimes the music during the game got a bit annoying for me, i recommend your own~
Anyway! You tap the table for another card and when youre happy with your hand swipe across to confirm, then Rio will try and beat you, if youre lucky you win!
If you find it too eay you can also change difficulty in the games options…

After youve been playing a while and racked up lots of money you use the money to actually buy wallpaper for your device, all featuring Rio. They vary in price shown here but theyre basically all the same thing, theyre very professional CGs though c:

Another unlockable is the ability to get different costumes for Rio to wear while youre playing, im sure this will appeal to a certain kind of gamer XD I think you just unlock these by playing and winning a few times, thats how i did anyway~

To wrap it up if youre looking for an easy card game thats anime themed as well this is a great choice to kill some time on the bus or train or something, give it a go sometime!

Dance dance revolution

Even the name of the game is a bit weird but it’s really a super exhilarating game. I have to confess that I had never played that before until last night. I had seen people playing that before though and I was wondering how on earth people could be really passionate about this game and they were also seriously dancing like a pro. And guess what, I was just like them last night with Rebecca, my colleague, @ the Game Arcade @ Vivo City.

For some reasons (silly one I guess), we put too much money in the game and we had to dance 12 rounds, non-stop! Notwithstanding how crazy it may sound, we actually had a blast. I sweated too much that I told Rebecca I would consider buying one @ home for my exercise as opposed to run or do push-ups which is sometimes (many times actually!) really exhausting. I guess it was because dancing with music help release adrenaline which make you real excited and all :)

I love dance dance revolution and no doubt I will be playing again, SOON!

Don’t hold back, just try as you never know what you are missing in life!

Teaser trailer de Tekken

Eu estou meio pasma com o teaser de Tekken porque eu passei uma parte da minha infância jogando e agora parece que fizeram uma porcaria com o filme.

Meu coração não bateu loucamente quando eu assisti ao trailer, não vi nada que pudesse ter muita história. Eu adorava quando acabavam todas as lutas no jogo e eles mostravam a história do personagem que você tinha escolhido e, eu, ingenuamente, achei que fossem fazer uma história de cada personagem no filme e depois fazer um encontro.

Sei lá, talvez isso também tornasse o filme meio bizonho mas não ficaria na mesmice do jogo de ter só luta, luta, luta. Se eu quisesse ver só luta, eu jogava mas não assistia ao filme.

Bom, no trailer apareceram muitos dos personagens mas eu não encontrei dois dos meus favoritos: Law e Xiaoyu. Na lista de Casting do site IMDB não consta o nome da Xiaoyu, mas Law será interpretado pelo ator vietnamita Cung Le, que também pode ser visto em Pandora.

Tekken ainda não tem data de lançamento, mas é para esse ano. =D

gran turismo 5

In the future, i can also become a video game designer. Video game designers is a job that requires more skill than most other jobs, to fix bugs, to write reports, to solve problems, and also to be good at math, and numbers. It will not be an easy task, but when you do finish it, it can be a huge success. Gran Turismo 5 has many new features, including 950+ cars, 35+ tracks, and even 16-player online play. The only bad thing is it has been delayed for quite a while. To learn more about the Gran Turismo 5, click here.

New Game: "Concrete"

Yes, yes, I know. Hold the applause. New game!

Heck, it’s not even done and I’m giving this announcment. If you’ve read the previous post I made (the one about YoYoGames’ competition) then you’ll know I have been working on a new game for the competition. Frantically. Although I have till March 30th 2010 to finish my game, I have been working as fast as possible to get the game engine up and running. If you want, I even posted a demo on a site I’m really active in, called GameCOG. You can view the project here; the demo was release after working on the game for a total of a week, so much has been changed already. You can see a list of updates I’ve made, am working on, and plan to do all on this page. However, I don’t plan to release another version of the game until the competition deadline, so by updates I mean updates I’ve made without uploading again.

Some of the biggest updates I’ve made since the demo release are listed below:

  • Blocks are now clearer; a lot less blurred (they look cleaner now)
  • The red and white flashes are easier to see; but you can still see what’s under them
  • The arrow glitch of multiples appearing before the level ends is fixed
  • The keys “R” and “F4″ have been eliminated per the competition rules
  • Escape now brings you to a menu; options for resuming, restarting, a working level select, reseting the game, and a help page

So most of the things complained about in-game are fixed. Everything will be much easier to understand, so please just bear with me. Below are some screenshots from the update I’m working on, NOT the demo:

Yup…that’s basically it. Remember, if you want to play Concrete’s demo you can go to www.GameCOG.net. BTW, I have the most points on it because I’m awesome. (if you scroll down on the homepage, look at the points leaderboard – yup, turboRamble. That happens to be me)

Dissidia: Final Fantasy

It turns out that Dissidia: Final Fantasy has stolen more than just money from peoples wallets. Considering that it’s a fighting-based game it lasts for an incredibly long time. So far I’ve devoted approximately 160 hours with this game and I’ve heard online of people that have played for 800 hours. I can honestly say that I never before have spent this much time with one game. It’s ridicilously big with a huge set of accomplishments to finish (achievements/trophies if you will) and with ad-hoc party that was released on the Playstation Network not too long ago you can now play against other players online through a PS3 with an internet connection.

Don’t forget the time-extending replay function which is essentially theatre mode from Halo 3 in a less ergonomic but still very entertaining mode that allows you to convert your videos, save them on your PSP as .avi files and play them on your computer, PS3 or upload it online (youtube, there are already tons of videos on there) and take screenshots.

If you own this lovely game, feel free to tell me so that we can play this blowjob (it really blows the fans of the series) of a game together. Looking forward to it, later!

It's all of them... Though the two major characters aren't fully textured.

Lightning-Devils game resuming on Sunday

Lightning-Devils game resuming on Sunday

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWARK, N.J. — The Tampa Bay Lightning and New Jersey Devils aren’t going to have to wait very long to finish their suspended game.

The NHL announced Saturday that the teams will play the final period and a half at the Prudential Center, starting at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

The game was suspended on Friday night with 9:12 left in the second period when a lighting problem on one side of the arena could not be fixed.

The teams waited almost two hours before the league decided to suspend the game for safety concerns with the Lightning leading 3-0. The players left the ice roughly 10 minutes after the lights dimmed, although a couple of Lightning players came back and sat on the bench during the delay to see what was happening.

The game will resume at the point play was stopped.

The lighting was fully restored at roughly 1 a.m., almost five hours after the lights dimmed in the Devils’ defensive zone.

The decision to play the game Sunday means the players will compete on three straight days. The Devils were in Montreal to face the Canadiens and the Lightning were in Philadelphia to play the Flyers on Saturday night.

Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said a circuit breaker at 3-year-old arena went down and it resulted in a problem with the computer that controls the lights.

“We could not get the computer to work with the circuit breaker and PSE&G determined that they would not be able to fix it tonight,” Lamoriello said.

PSE&G spokeswoman Denise Denk said Saturday that the problem was with the building and the utility was asked to provide assistance in fixing it. She said that PSE&G was not responsible for the circuit breaker.

The Devils said fans can use their ticket stubs from Friday night to attend the finish of the game on Sunday.

The last time an NHL game was postponed was on Nov. 22, 2005, when Detroit defenceman Jiri Fischer had a seizure on the bench in the first period of a game against the Nashville Predators. Doctors had to perform CPR on Fischer.

Steve Downie, Brandon Bochenski and Steven Stamkos scored for Tampa Bay, which is trying to snap a 10-game losing streak against New Jersey.

ALL things

Here’s a little fun game to play and something to ponder that I found over here at “Path from the Head to the Heart” (oh…and I LOVE that blog title because that’s totally the journey I’m continuing to go on!):

If you had to sum up your life to this point in 6 words, what would they be?

For me….This was hard to come up with! I had so many thoughts, but here’s what I’m thinking for right now:

Working all things out for good.

UK Lottery Systems Impart Players to Radically Raise Their Odds

Technology these days allows us to make sure of many things on the internet that we were used to doing with no technology. It is now achievable to play a part in the UK Lottery on the Internet. Reading this article, lottery gamers will be introduced to UK Lottery Systems which will allow them to participate with improved prospect and from more or less anyplace in the educated world.

The UK Lottery Systems revealed in 1994 was the first Great Lottery giving country wide amusement for lottery gamers to cash sum prizes from a televised game show and the opportunity to cash sum loads more than one million pound. At the time the UK Lottery was a wonderful source and subject of certain peoples conversations, it still is today but at the time it was a fantastic novel and very exhilarating game.

In the UK just before the internet boom the UK lottery was only available by joining in lottery vending outlets with granted access to the lotto entry machines. It was not until two thousand and two that lottery gamblers outside of the UK could participate and cash prize, with the release and opening of the e-Lottery Systems, because the e-Lottery are based in the United kingdom a registered syndicate with the lottery official group they can acquire UK Lottery Tickets on folks behalf and give them any spoils.

The UK Lottery has a record Tax Free Top prize of 42 Million Pounds. It costs just one pound for one lotto ticket to cooperate in the UK Lottery the customary fashion. This will get you 1 lottery line one admission and one prospect to cash prize a extremely well presented main prize fund mostly in the region of twelve million or more. The possibility for Landing a Cash award purchasing a lottery ticket from a supermarket, stand at around 1 – 14 million to win.

These prospects give elevation to the some UK Lottery Systems available today.

I would think that a good number of us will recognize that it is lottery syndicates that gather the most interest from players searching to provoke their gaming likelihoods. In fact as confirmed on the Main Lotteries Website it is 1 in 4 Lottery Systems in the form of a lottery syndicate that will take the Massive jackpot prize.

e-Lottery with patented Lottery Systems launched in 2002 with the induction of the UK Lottery. Offering lottery gamblers a great lead and raised bonanza possibility by 733%. For a insignificant syndicate fee gamers will have 88 chances every week and it is feasible to award on more than one row. Folks will come across the UK Lottery Systems planned to cover every alternative of the six number so every single individual has a guarantee of matching the 6th number in each draw.

A pleasant bonus purchasing with the e-Lottery Systems is that players are only ever required to find five numbers to receive a share of the massive jackpot prize. Also to catch a lesser win from the UK Lottery lottery players will only need to match up two numbers. Lottery players of e-lottery systems are supplied a skilled service and their entries are always entered on time before every lotto draw. With their own specific players website it is likely to manage their lottery syndicate and to continue to be upto date with the outcomes their spoils, presented to them is a live display to find out how the multi win lottery systems really work.

I would like to declare that it is not only the UK Lottery that this method has been functional to. Folks will notice Lottery Systems in place for an alternative 13 well recognizable lotteries, which give some out of this world results.

Players looking for Lottery Systems need look no further than the worlds largest syndicate. Lee May offers a number of articles detailing the lotteries that have been added successfully including the UK Lottery.

Free Math Game And Curriculum From MIT That Engages Students And Facilitates 21st Century Learning!

A great MIT math game for middle school students incorporating problem solving, higher order thinking skills, national standards, and 21st century skills is available for free!  Includes lesson plans, graphic organizers, a library of material, evaluation strategies, and a  teacher administrative tool set. You have just entered the world of Lure of the Labyrinth, one of my web catches of the week!  While it has been around for a few years, it deserves mention every so often. For more great resources visit my 21centuryedtech Wiki – Mike  email (mgorman@sacs.k12.in.us) Twitter @mjgormans

MIT has created another great learning experience, this time for middle school pre-algebra and algebra students. This is not the typical game that involves solving math problems with the reward of playing a game as a reward in the end.  Lure of the Labyrinth isn’t that kind of game. In fact, teachers and students report that math is one of the most fun parts of this game that incorporates a style found in popular graphic novels. It is embedded in a strong story line that engages students in a far off world where they must stop the  monsters from dominating the world.  This is accomplished by solving puzzles through the use of logic and the understanding of  number relationships. The mathematics embedded in Lure of the Labyrinth is the central part of any pre-algebra curriculum, and is based on key standards that guide national and state mathematics curriculum. Lure of the Labyrinth’s exploration of number relationships is complex, intriguing, and it is accessible to all mathematical thinkers. Take a moment to read more about all of the math, scientific method, problem solving,  and hypothesizing found in this unique game.
There are two basic ways that teachers can use Lure of the Labyrinth. Students can play it as a full-fledged game or they can  play its puzzles as separate, standalone activities that compliment specific math lessons. There is a large resource area available for teachers that cover standards, sixteen different lesson plans, and graphic organizers that can be used with each lesson.  The game also allows for student cooperation and collaboration while giving teachers an administrative tool to monitor online activity and student progress. The graphics are fun and the story line is interesting! Take a moment to view various video segments produced for professional development of Maryland teachers  involving  game play, testimonials, and planning! Be sure to read this complete page written for educators and be sure to listen to the audio by Scott Osterweil  who is Creative Director at the Education Arcade at MIT . In fact, the MIT link will bring you several other games for education that I will include in future write ups. More research is supporting the use of games to faciltate  this generation of digital natives in their aquisition of  those all important 21st century skills!

Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to send on any comments or replies and catch all updates on both sites at twitter – Mike

A Very British Civil War - Freebies

One of the games I play is an alternative history setting called A Very British Civil War, set in 1930’s Britian. The concept is that King Edward didn’t abdicate when he married ………, as a result sections of the goverment resigned in protest, which left a power vacum and allowed Mosley and the Facisits to take control. This in turn led to civil war as various factions around the  country took to arms in  protest.

Gathering Storm

 

 I’ve included here a list of free rules that could be used to play the game, as AVBCW is a source book, not arule book, the idea being is that you can play with what ever rules you are already comfortable with.

To Arms rule set

‘And Was Jerusalem Builded Here?’ British Civil War 1938

Final Round

There’s a war on, you know…”

Power Grid... Possible game of the year?!?

I don’t what it is about about German style games but I am in love with them.  Power Grid is the newest one that I have heard of and there is rumor that it might be up for Game of the year.

This game keep my family satisfied through our entire New Year holiday.   The greatest thing about German style games.  The rules are pretty simplistic but the strategy really falls under your style of play and taking advantage of your friends playing along with you.  Get this game… you will enjoy it!

MMO Gamer Spends $330,000 on In-Game Property

Hmmm. Personally, I would have bought an apartment or a talking chimp, but I guess this guy had a better idea.

The chap you see below is user “Buzz Lightyear” (real name, Eric), a hardcore player of MMO Entropia Universe. He has spent a whopping US$330,000 on in-game property, specifically, the ‘Crystal Palace Space Station’ which the game developers put up for auction in December. What I’d like to know is how he amassed such a fortune in the first place. Psht, all that money blown on a place you can’t even bring a chick back to.

The game has no purchase or subscription fee; instead, Swedish developer MindArk fills its Scandinavian coffers with micropayments. In-game objects and unique character customisations are paid for by gamers in real cash which is converted into PED (Project Entropia dollars) at a fixed exchange rate of 1 US$ = 10 PED. Like MMO Second Life, there is a bustling economy with real-world entrepreneurs that make a serious income. Entropia Universe’s 2006 gross trade amounted to a staggeringly large figure of 3.6 billion PED or 360 million in cold, papery United States dollars.

Similarly huge transactions have occurred in the past. The first (which now looks minuscule in comparison) was made by an Australian player who bought an island for $26,500 back in 2004, whilst in 2005, another in-game space-station was bought for $100,000. Sort of dwarfed by the latest sale, that’s for sure.

Make what you will of it. Ludicrous or fair-game?
