Rant-n-Rave #7

Posted by rockyran on June 23, 2006, 9:01 p.m.

Lucky number seven here, my seventh installment of my problems-with-the-world series. I honestly don't know how many Rant-n-Raves I'm going to have, but as long as I have something to rant about, I'll have a reason to keep the series going. Believe me, I have a lot of problems with …

Ze Germans!

Posted by rockyran on June 23, 2006, 11:11 a.m.

I found something of slight entertainment value:

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English

will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the

other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government

conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement …

Weirdest. Thing. Ever

Posted by rockyran on June 20, 2006, 9:01 p.m.

So I think it was a week ago I got around to googling crap that I knew. Being the little self-centered ____ that I am, I googled my latest game " * "…yeah, I found out there's a LOT of things using an asterisk…:P

Anyway, after redefining my search down …

Anyone else got a "loud" keyboard?

Posted by rockyran on June 14, 2006, 10:46 a.m.

I've been doing a lot of typing lately and I've just realized…my keyboard is extremely loud. It doesnt matter how gently I type the keys, they always make a scandal when I'm trying to type something. I HATE loud keyboards! They drive me insane because they make such an annoying …

Behold…the fearful temper arises from the depths of somewhere bad again! This time, this Rant-n-Rave is dedicated to those "geniuses" who think that video games are the source of wars, world hunger, excessive violence, global warming and AIDS in Africa.

Seriously, these geniuses need to do some BIG research. I …

Rant-n-Rave #5

Yes…just when you thought these were over…they come BACK!

Anyways, this Rant-n-Rave has appeared after many months of inactivity due to a newly-found pet peeve, and that is the incorrect spelling of "Grammar", which is something I just CANNOT stand.

Now, before everyone thinks I'm some sort of spelling freak, …

The Makin' of " * "

Posted by rockyran on June 7, 2006, 11:01 a.m.

I'm next to absolutely sure that you guys don't care about the making of " * ", my most recent game, but I'm sure there's at least one or two lone human beings out there who give more than a crap about the game, so I figured I'll be doing …

Rant-n-Rave #4

Posted by rockyran on Aug. 6, 2005, 10:13 p.m.

Behold, my newest installment of the Rant-n-Rave series. As always, this will be much different than the last. This time we talk about…the World Wide Web!

It's amazing that decades ago, when the internet was first released, people acted as if they were five-year-olds again at the internet; anything that …

Rant-n-Rave #3

Posted by rockyran on July 16, 2005, 11 p.m.

This one is quite different from the previous two. This one actually deals with a rather large problem, the Game Maker Community (I'll refer to it as GMC).

Now first off, I'd like to say don't get me wrong; I love the GMC to death. In fact, I browse the …

Rant-n-Rave #1

I'm really wondering why the freak everyone hates it when there's this person (usually a girl) is in front of you, says hi and smiles in your direction, you smile back and it turns out that she's talking to someone else behind her.

I personally don't care. If that happened …
