Well, I'm back from camp, it was really pretty up there, lake, stream, whole nine yards…
But it's good to have my super-computer back (I worked hard for it!)I just got a new intel dual core processor/motherboard and overclocked it to 4.22 ghz (and it was $130 0_0 ). I also grabbed like 4 gigs of RAM, have ordered a new Cheetah Hard Drive, and decided against buying a new keyboard. So basically I had some money to blow.Where did I get this money you may ask?HereOne of those "fill out the surveys you get paid." Turns out they're not complete bullshit- I made like $600 in a week :)Now for something you guys can play-This is one of my current doo-dads,Thief (beware the porn)I'm not sure if 64D upload applet is back up, but I don't care to find out.Currently it has a tekno-tileset, cause I couldn't summon the enrgy to whip up a decent one, and some really old nice animations I found in my sprite archive. I don't think There are any enemies in the demo- though they are working, and consist of a monkey, a cougar (who walks, sprints, and jumps), and a gigantic bird. THere are a few booby-traps though. The fun thing about this game is you can dash. Press spay and an arrow key at the same time, and you dash whatever direction you pressed. The game will be based off this ability. Note the little "power ball" things that cushion landings and give you take-off thrust, if you would. Yeah. Post thoughts, comments, whtever have you Please :)Here's a nice little reference if any of you want to change your font color
You made $600 from those surveys? Wha… How?
That's awesome!They give you about $40-$60 a survey, and they dump it into a paypal account for you. Ebay money, really.
Damn, that survery thing sounds great. Nice computer, although AMD's are better.
nice. A little weird but its in progress :D
The dash and colour change didn't work for me :(I love the sprites though. Everything is just a tad too fast imo.AMD's are better, but the processor I got was running at 2.66, with a Radeon 9800 card built in for $130, and AMD's competeitor was slower, had a crappier built in card, and was $200. So i went with intel :-/
I added this to my main postMalika- What color change? Yeah, everyone has being saying it goes too fast, but I like it xP
Yeah, the dash is tricky, you have to get them at the exact moment (aka slam on the space bar a lot).ermm… hi?
So trying that survey thing.
Hey, oliv. I've seen you at that clan thingy site.
???I'm going to try those survey things now.you don't need to give them money you know… All they do is link to other people's surveys. There are free ones out there that do the same thing (even link to the same places) but I thought it was too much work.
And AMD isn't better than Intel. They are both simply different. AMDs are better at running games, but intels have a lot of raw processing power. Intel is worse for running games because it has a system where it 'predicts' what needs to happen next. Its complicated, but basically it means for non-game apps, intel is better. And they will be releasing their new chip soon, which is incredible.
