I haven't been posting any blogs recently, so I'll make this long..
I'm a grade 10 student in Vancouver, Canada. Near the winter, it is usually raining in Vancouver..I don't like to waste my time or be distracted by watching television (my dad spends hours watching TV very loudly :[), but sometimes I will watch documentaries, like Nova. "House" and "Lie to Me" are my favourite fictional shows. I'm usually either sleeping (I sleep from 8pm to 9pm, and 11pm to 6am :D), playing video games (portable counterstrike, starcraft, some flash games), or learning (I've taught myself a bunch of calculus from wikibooks, and I'm trying to learn a bit about the world wars, the biggest companies, and Canadian history). I love to listen to things by famous scientists while playing starcraft. The best things that I've found to listen to are a BBC interview of Richard Feyman, and Carl Sagan's Cosmos.FeynmanCosmos - You'll want to skip past the first half of this video to get to the good stuff. I think that that playlist is about 14 hours long.If I have time, I might enter something in to the Halloween competition. I thought of an idea while listening to my family watch "The Uninvited"; The game shall be about fighting waves of enemies while in a jungle.. I haven't come up with any other details. I have collected some useful sounds from the internet, and the graphics that I have started with meet my standards.. Still 20 days left!http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12034571/JungleExample.bmp
Audacity can record my computer's output! Ikariam is fun! Join now! http://s4.us.ikariam.com/reg.php?friendId=234468 . http://thedailywtf.com/ is very interesting. A large amount of retro-style music can be found at http://8bc.org/ Good artists: 1 2. I've also enjoyed listening to LOZ-OOT and Megaman music.. it's so good! I've started to make a Christmas present for you guys ^.^. In WWI, zeppelins were used for bombing and scouting! In WWII, there were guns that could fire at about 900 rpm! I have started to use my mouse in left-handed mode so I can put my computer at the part of my desk that I can sit at. I want you all to post more fun games. Calibri is an awesome font.
You get a thumbs up for self teaching. I love the internet.
