http://www.coolpowers.com/blog Sat, 17 May 2008 22:24:57 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So with the addition of the Xbox 360, I now have every one of the current generation of game systems.  I don't know how I'm lucky enough to have these fall into my lap; I certainly couldn't afford the retail price for all of them! Anyway, because I'm in the minority ... http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2008-05-17-talkin-bout-my-generation/ Greg Stephens is gonna be pretty pissed off when he reads this. Hope you got your GTAIV from somewhere other than your usual Nottingham branch of GAME, Greg. Why yes, this is a sneaky attempt to get jbury's post to show up in a Google search for Greg Stephens.. http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2008-04-30-snatcher/ Play more with Konami ID hahahaha. LET ME IN DAMN IT, I WANT MY METAL GEAR ONLINE http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2008-04-17-irony/ Yeah, so that was a waste of time.  Trying to use MP3 audio, I mean.  It's just not suitable as game music if you want to give people the ability to use their own files.  So I went back to libmikmod, which is fine, especially once I realised you have ... http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2008-04-16-no-audio/ I had expected to get the first update to Puzl out by now, but I got a bit more ambitious with the music options.  See, everybody wants to use their own music, but most people don't have mods.  They do, however, have lots of mp3s.  So why not play mp3s? Well, ... http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2008-04-08-faster-pussycat/ Hey howdy hey, it's a post! I figure I may as well use my blog again. I've looked at it several times a day for the past two years (it's still my homepage because I'm incredibly lazy) and while I'm now active on other blogs (such as Gaming with Children) ... http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2008-03-27-boo/ As I've been busy for the last couple of days, I've decided to give myself an extension on the game. Here's an updated pic. http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2006-01-18-drip-drop/ Yesterday, I had the crazy idea of making a game in a week that would run on 4 different platforms - Windows, PSP, Xbox, and OS X. Could this be something I actually finish? Here's a pic. Exciting, huh? http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2006-01-11-the-great-race/ ..and we're done. FWIW, I have to change two files in wp-includes, links.php and templates-functions-general.php, to get rid of the list items in the link list over there on the right, and to format the archive link dates over there on the left. Yes, I wrote that mainly to remind ... http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2006-01-08-head-watching-over/ A few things will look a little goofy while I upgrade to WordPress 2.0.  It's a smooth upgrade for most people, but I have some jiggery-pokery to do with some of the files to get it to display exactly as I need. http://www.coolpowers.com/blog/2006-01-08-watch-your-head/
