Click to drop an object which will run around the level of it's own accord, changing directions when it gets bored. There'll be some... erm... buggy behaviour around triangular tiles, so if people can bug report to me over PM I'd be happy.

If someone can find the post sometime circa November 2006 in the regs lounge where I posted the prototype of the AS2 version of this I'd be ecstatic. Think it must be near page 400ish.

Looking good, now to turn it into a game...

Oh, and I found this thread, don't know why I actually tried to look for it.

Thanks Xep. Shame I don't have that old demo any more (nuked my sites and my computers ages ago, and didn't back up unfinished junk I would never go back to).

God... that was back before Flash CS3 was released, wasn't it?

Just got a beta invite for Voddler, "Spotify for movies". Swedish developers are making both services, this is awesome ;)

My first impressions of the client is that it's quite buggy and not a whole lot of movies though, but that is excused since it's only beta, and once you get a movie running it's perfect. I've got a good feeling about this one :D

Can you send invites?

Not this time I'm afraid, at least not yet.

One day I'll earn more and buy me big shoulder DIGI-CAM at 120 FPS for independent film. :3

I don't know if it's how it's meant to work eventually, but right now you see x number of adverts before the movie starts.

I think I counted to five adverts, perhaps two minutes total in time, before it allowed me to watch In Bruges, but I've almost seen the whole of it now and there have been no other ads whatsoever :) I wouldn't be surprised if they come to the conclusion that they need more ads to be profitable, but I personally would be ok with a few occasional ads in the movie if it will be necessary.

I AM BETTER THAN EVERY ONE

I won a pub quiz tonight, seriously, I did, well, I say I, I mean me and my team, who were called Quizzee Rascal by the way, we totally won, there were like 12 or 13 teams and we won because we're awesome and they all sucked, and we won £50 but we gambled and only won £25 but it's still better than everyone else because they didn't win the quiz, we did.

QUIZ TEAMS, FUCK YEAH.

There was a a name that cartoon strip round (one was Nemi, who Keith has a major erection for LOL), second round was current affairs, third round was "Pubs on TV". Naturally, I got 10/10 for this round. (srsly no joke we did). Then it was food & drink, where we got a woeful 3/10. Last round was chosen by the team who lost last week. They chose Dr. Who. We got like 8/10 (LOL GEEKS).

All in all in was good times. The entry fee was £6 per team, regardless of how many members you had. ALSO (AND THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PART) each team got a free 14 inch pizza!

Tuesdays, 7:30, The Monument Pub, Canterbury. Be there or be a L7.

Halloween time approaches. What does everyone think this year's overdone costume idea is going to be? My guess is Thriller Michael Jackson.

Anyone know what they're doing? I'm considering L4D's Bill :O

I'll be going as a zombie pirate. I make an AWESOME pirate*, but I'll zombie it up in honour of Halloween. The club at my Uni is open 'til 6 on the 31st (it normally shuts at 3).

That's if I go out. In the morning it's The Scum vs Spurs, so depending on how we get on I'll either go out and get drunk like never before or stay home and cry.

*Me in a pub as pirate, better pics to follow.

haha Max. i wanted to but i might not have enough time to fix up the costume. Finding those footie pajamas is hard when youre a grown adult.

I hope they dont ruin that wild things movie... that kid they cast looks a bit too innocent and proper, the character in the book always came off as a prick when i read the books.

Hahaha, oh heavens, Luis. You're an adult, but you're certainly not grown <3

heh..joker :P

MOVING ON!

Overdone costume wont be anything in specific i think, there will be perhaps a LITTLE more star-trek than usual cuz of that movie, but so far nothing unusually THAT EPIC has come out movie wise to make everyone go insane with "omg facepaint!"

I was going to ask, have you seen the movie Holes? The kid in the movie steals a pair of shoes that looked a lot like the ones you showed me. Just a side thought.

I don't dress up for Halloween. Scaryies.
