Easier? Sheesh, a developer at Bethesda says easier? Has he even played Oblivion or Fallout 3 since they've come out. All of it's too damn easy, exploitable, and glitchy. Maybe Bethesda should start checking their code before any gets any ideas on gameplay issues.
Have you thought that maybe its easier for YOU because you're such a hardcore gamer? I mean my brother can play Halo in this sleep, but I can't spawn for more than 37 seconds at a time =)
Hello World, This is super interesting. When I'm not IT-ing, I'm usually doing something music related, either practicing or performing with one of my friends. Its mostly acoustic/live instruments. Then a friend of mine (also a musical techie) sent me a link to Sonic-Pi . I wasn't sure what it was for, then I watched the video that's on the site, and I got REALLY excited, and I had to share it. Dr Sam Aaron basically developed a language, using the Raspberry Pi's Python kernel as the basis, and it actually allows you to CREATE music, via programming, its brilliant. I can see this being a hit in both the Computer Science and in the Music Class, especially for the younger generation. In a way its stimulating both sides of your brain, the Analytical side (programming), and the Creative side (music). Check it out at Sonic-Pi.net , its very cool. Keep on tech-ing everyone. -Ash
I just wanted to bring 2 things to the attention of my fellow Game peeps: #1- Apparently the rumors about a new PSP are not entirely rumors, there has been talk about a UMD-less PSP device coming up towards the end of this year (2009), I must say it does look pretty cool =). Here is the article . #2- I have stumbled upon a cool show called WCG: Ultimate Gamer , 12 hard core gamers go head to head each week, not only playing the video games, but actually "living" them. Each week 1 player gets eliminated, until only 1 Ultimate Gamer reigns. The show is put together really well, and thanks to HuLu I've been catching up =) Take care peeps =) -Ash
So we all know about the "Academic" version of software, such as Adobe CS3, its less expensive but still expensive. Now there is an even CHEAPER option. Adobe now provides something called the Student Licensing Option, in which you get the FULL version, for a much cheaper price, for example the CS3 Design Standard for $200, or the CS3 Master Collection for $500. That is a pretty good deal considering the original price of the actual software. It would make sense for Adobe to make a step like this, since its products such as the world known PhotoShop, end up being one of the most "Shared" software amongst students. Feel free to research this some more, I had just heard about it and did a quick google search and found this information for you. Information from the Adobe site about SLO could be found [ here ]. Creation Engine provides the software online [ here ]. have a great weekend everyone. -Ash
