Well, I’ve been busy, and I kinda missed this post this morning. I am totally at a loss. Would someone give me some addictive flash game links? thanks.

If it seems a bit impossible at times, then it may very well be. The obstacles and opening height are picked at random.

I think I figured out something that I can post fairly regularly: addictive online flash games. So, here’s the first one: I find it very addictive, despite it’s pointlessness, and the fact that it is in itself a camera advertisement.

Actually, I have been reading up on the malfunctioning guitar issue. I decided that even though my guitar is not broken, that I would call EA’s support number (650)-628-1001 and looked into the whole voided warranty thing. I found it quite humorous that the first thing that the computerized voice said was “Thank you for calling Electronic Arts. If you are calling about Rock Band, please press one.” They obviously know that they screwed us over pretty badly. Anyway, I went though this long chain of number pressing, and finally got in touch with an actual human. I informed him that I was having no problem with my guitar controller, but I wanted to be read the part of the warranty dealing with opening the Rock Band peripherals, being that i could not find a copy of the product warranty anywhere online. The warranty specifically states that if the product has been opened in any way by a person not licensed to by EA, then the warranty is void, and a replacement guitar cannot be acquired free of charge. Now, I had to open mine, obviously, and as I opened it, I realized that there were absolutely no opening markers with which they could tell if you had actually opened it. If you don’t strip out the screw heads, thus exposing the silver metal beneath the black paint, then they have no way of knowing. Anyway, I opened my guitar, and found out that I actually have one of the new guitars. Instead of using the pressure contact switch as the faulty ones do, it uses a magnetic switch that has no tension screws on it. Well, If you have trouble, repair with caution, because if you screw up, you get screwed.
One of these days, I’m going to make the best damn game ever thought of. It will be an mmorpg that has amazing shit that no other mmo has. For now that is all I can tell you.
But I’ll start on the actual process of making it after I get my degree. Until then, I will keep coming up with the great ideas that just flow into my head.
Later, yo.
Not to long before the Holiday’s came, I went half and half with a friend and bought Rock Band for my PS3. If you have ever played Guitar Hero, it is a lot like it, except there is a drum set and a microphone in addition to the guitar. The game is great, except a week or two into it, I noticed the guitar wouldn’t strum as fast as it used to, and it occasionally double strummed. I went to the internet and Googled it. Apparently a LOT of people were having this problem, and most of the people are returning the whole game because of it, but I ran upon a website that explained how to fix it. It involved taking it appart and doing a little adjusting, but what do you know.. it fixed it without voiding the warranty.
Online gaming?
What’s so important about this?
First off, I’m not talking about those little games you find on yahoo, shockwave, etc.
I’m talking about what can be called Massively Multiplayer Online, MMO, games.
Do you know?
I do.
These games are important to the upcoming generation of kids and to people of almost any age.
Why?
They allow interactivity.
People can get that from chatrooms and such?
No they can’t.
We will take Halo for instance(any of the three will work).
During online play, you can take place in team matches.
This is the most fun in any game.
You’re wondering why killing each other is important to my kid, right?
Yes it’s very important. Only at a certain age. That age is what can be called the age of accountability, the age when right can be deciphered from wrong.
Violent video games relieve stress.
Now, the team matches promote team work. People learn how to communicate with each other. They also learn the cultures of people from around their country and the world.
MMORPGs are the best at this. They let people to develop more emotions due to the fact they are playing someone besides themselves. In an MMORPG a person creates another life for him or herself. It allows them to be anything they want to be.
Plus it’s just fun.
