Ah this is true! Something says I'd pwn him at laser tag... Obama tended to pwn me in the dreams I had, however.

Also, I learned how to play part of the vocals to "Somebody I Used to Know" on my ACOUSTIC GUITAR. (That's emphasized to make it more obvious it's a reference to something said earlier.) The song is not difficult at all to play btw. I'm lucky the highest note only goes to e20 as that's the highest accessible fret on my acoustic guitar. (I sold my electric guitar; I want a better one now though. And perhaps my effects pedal as well. I also want a microphone, and earphones. [I lost my earphones, and I don't like using normal phones as microphones as they have horrible quality and are, in general, completely inconvenient.])

I also found a metal version of Somebody I Used to Know on YouTube, after having searched for (and listened to) a metal version of "Call Me Maybe."

I like Git. I dislike SVN. Why? Git completed a rather large commit in 3 to 4~ hours. That same commit I tried in SVN across three days. Each time it took between 9 and 12 hours before failing with an error that made me start the process over again. Git also feels more intuitive to me than SVN. Also, branching is waaaaaaay easy in Git. I have not tried in SVN, but from what I've heard, it's an event.

The trailer for the live action version of Rurouni Kenshin, which was apparently released in Japanese theaters a few months ago, makes me really want to see the movie. If I had the money (and knew the language and writing) I'd fly to Japan just to see the movie. (Hi. I'm a fan.) Also, I would like to see the Another live action film. I would like subs though. I don't mind films being in other languages ("The Good, The Bad, The Weird" was quite enjoyable), but the subs are pretty much a requirement for me at that point. Although, for some movies, I could probably tell what's going on without the subs, I think the subs would make the entire experience more enjoyable.

I suck at graphics. I tried making a 2D tilesheet. I think the grass came out okay, but the water, the rocks, the EVERYTHING, came out horrible. The sand was just the grass with a hue change, and the lava was done the same way based on the water. I ended up grabbing and splicing some FF1 overworld characters together to create some rudimentary player and enemy graphics. It's not the worst thing ever, but it probably takes second place. (That's a Hitchhiker's Guide reference, sorta.) Sometimes I'm not so bad at graphics, but my stuff isn't really all that usable.

I just printed out the Ogre3D manual at the company I work at. After about 10 minutes of non-stop printing I got up to collect the many pages from the printer in the other room. As I turned the corner however, I came face to face with an angry mob of at least 10 people, all gathered around the printing machine, scowling at the many pages still being spewed out. Every new page was snatched out and examined by two or three rather aggressive looking guys, then tossed aside as they noticed it wasn't the document they were waiting for, all while the other 7 people cursed loudly about their tight schedule. The intensity of red colour in their faces is probably a direct linear relationship to the amount of pages I had printed.

I did a 180° turn and went to get myself a coffee.

@ Dar13

I had no idea how large it actually was, but it's done now. Thanks for your offer, your source code you linked me to was already such a great help.

Ogre is insanely awesome (flying over the manual right now), I especially love the way it handles resources in combination with scripts. It's what I was trying to create with PonyCraft in DBP, only Ogre is ten times better.

Couple pretty horrible things about far cry 3 (not the gameplay)
1) It released the 29th in Australia
2) It was cracked and posted on torrent sits pretty much immediately
3) Ubisoft's DRM servers went down so that... I don't know, I thought it was worse when I started posting it but I just looked it up, and apparently people can't play it without the server, but can by telling the launcher to go offline before starting it, so it's just an inconvenience.
Obviously I mean this as anti-ubisoft (though their games are badass) and not pro-piracy xD

In other news I just beat Darksiders 2, and i've watched a youtube thing of all the cutscenes in darksiders 1. New favorite franchise of mine, definitely preordering the next one as soon as its available.

Indeed! Anyone who complains about turning it off and bricking it while updating doesn't understand the workings of operating systems clearly, and anyone who says that it will brick, no matter what when you update hasn't done their research. Not trying to stereotype or anything, and I'm likely missing something here. Just doesn't seem like something Nintendo would do and it sounds like same bullcrap everyone gave Nintendo for the first update they had to use when they got the system.

So I did do some research, and it sounds like updating has a small chance of bricking the console. I'd take the risk, not to mention Nintendo has been massively apologetic over the issue.

We were told by the shop that we bought it from that simply updating would brick it totally. Regardless, if it can still be bricked by losing the power then it's still a potential risk for us. Some have suggested that it never actually bricks, but when you start it up again it'll just sit on a black screen which apparently downloads and installs the update, just without telling you. Not really something we want to take the risk on without being sure, since it's a large update and the connection speed here really isn't great.

Anyone who thinks that a console should be brick-able just by turning it off while downloading something to the HDD doesn't belong on these forums.

Pffffffft... I don't think it should be, but assuming it's in any sort of installing process, turning it off won't necessarily be good.
