Ratchet & Clank 3: 1108 Beta Notes & Research

EDITS TO MAKE:   Segments define the state of a level (specifically Enemy and Crate placement), based on player data when they first load in. For example; Major Segment = First time you go through a level Minor Segment = Less crates, less bolts to prevent bolt farming 3 Invisible Difficulty Levels that you can be on (Easy, Medium (Normal, Default), Hard), likely tied into segments (Note: Difficulties were only switched for future levels), with Challe

QW: Why Legend of Zelda is already one of my favourite games.

This is a entry in my "Quick-Write" series. Basically, just some minor thoughts quickly thrown into a blog entry as a kind of progress update on how I'm doing. Anyone familiar to Creative Theory on RRU or the Skype chats would know that Jamesster's been doing a lot of LoZ stuff recently. He found that brilliant essay, and recently he's been playing the first game for numerous reasons. As I'm sure anybody from RRU knows, once one popular member does something, it quickly becomes infec

Post your LEGO Libraries - McJobless' Collection

I was going through, organising my room for college, and I found a lot of LEGO stuff that wasn't in my LEGO bag, so I decided to collect it all and take some pictures. Because of that, I think it's time we shared our LEGO collections for the fun of it, and so we all know who has what. Because I expect a lot of images and text, let's keep these to blog posts. I'll first post pictures of my actual LEGO stuff as it stands, and then post some screenies of what my entire set-listing should

New Year's Resolution: Need Some Advice...

I've never really followed the whole "New Years Resolution" thing before, but in getting older and running out the body clock, I've realised it might be good to start making some changes. One thing I really want to achieve next year is one of my biggest failings from this year. I'm a software developer by day, and a gamer by night. Being drained through the day with professional-level coding has made me bitter and cynical towards my own projects, to the point I've stopped doing them. While I

My Gaming History - Part 1 - The Prophetic PS1

This is something I've wanted to do for a long while, but I horrible at concentration. I can't really vouch for the validity of the order I finished these games in or bought them in, but that's not really the point. The point is the lessons I've learned because of what I have learned. As such, it's very likely there's going to be a LOT of games I won't list, because of shoddy memory, or because they just weren't important enough. Also, I had to remove images for most of the cases.

Moving Along.

From this point forward, I will be moving a lot of my better-quality blog entries to my very own personal blogger which I have full control over. I made this decision based on a couple factors, such as the need for more exposure, but all to prevent any flooding on this site in the event I have any outlandish opinions. I will still notify you guys when there's new writing from me up, but be prepared for a lot of my stuff from the past year to be moved. It is likely everything from 2013 and b

Mindless Rambling Thoughts About People

If ever asked, I'll deny myself as a feminist or a liberal or any of that bulls***. There's only one label that I feel fits me best; "Egalitarian". I've spent months trying to understand the word and its connotations, but I've come to the realisation that I knew what it meant all along, because it's exactly how I live my life. Allow me to explain; I grew up in a sort-of-Religious family in Australia. As in, we'd sometimes go to Church, I went to Church camps (mostly just for the camp bit), I we

Mindless Rambling Thoughts About LEGO Lord of the Rings

This isn't a proper review or anything special; just a summation of thoughts about 35 hours of gameplay. I 100%'d LEGO Lord of the Rings today. I plan on doing similar for all of the Traveler's Tales games in a kind of morbid, painful adventure. As much as I hate the repetitive nature, there's things about the formula that appeal to me, such as the stories/licenses, the colours and the kind of mix-and-match gameplay that sporadically appears. I like Lord of the Rings, which is why I decided to

McJobless' New Computer - Part 1: The Purchase

I'm hoping there will be only 2 parts to this: This one, and then the install where everything works great. Let's not think too hard about the future, though. Here's what I got: Total price with handling and postage is about $2800. That's a lot better than what I was originally thinking. I wanted Windows 8.1 Pro and an EVA GTX 980, but both were out of stock. I also decided that the 4790 was much better value than the 4790K, and the only other ones available were the 5th Gen

Life is an interesting beast.

"And remember, the universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke." ~ Orvus, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time Life is one of those insane things that happens. It's like, there for years, and then it's taken away. It's pretty crazy. And the older I get, the more I look on it and think about what life really, truly is. See, I think people have been asking the wrong questions for years. There's no one singular purpose to life, because every

Letter to the Director of RRU's Events & Planning Committee

To the Director whom this concerns; I remained silent when you unfortunately modified the rules and regulations, allowing for members with no pants to join. I remained silent when you permanently terminated the "Cow Car Fund", which would have raised funds for our very own security tour bus which we would use to visit offending members in real life, so that we could ban them permanently. I even remained silent when you destroyed the need to be an active member of RRU society (mainly because

Ipt: The Video Game: Episode 3 - The Day The Data Died

IT'S THE ULTIMATE INTRODUCTION! Seeing as you guys won't get the jokes, I think I might as well share with you a new project I'm undertaking for my HSC. A point-and-click adventure game, "IPT: The Video Game: Episode III - The Day the Data Died" is my 'major' work for IPT: The Subject (Information Processing and Technology). Basically, the project is simply about us listing everything we know about IPT. Most of my classmates are doing simple websites, but I decided to think outside the...

I really don't understand this.

I got this spam message the other day, and I was hoping it would be something at least barely intelligeable for me to pick on...I was lied to. Simply called "The best DISH offer EVER!!!", it reads: If you can read that, I'll buy you a muffin.

I Need Help Conducting Research On Endings

One of the few things I'm terrible at () is ending a story. It's difficult, trying to think of some amazing way to conclude what could have taken a person hours, even days to read, play or watch. So, I was hoping for some input here. I want to know your favourite endings and your least favourite endings from anything. Movies, books, games, TV Shows, you name it. Hell, list more than one if you can. This research will help me a lot, so thank you.

How to create my old signature.

Just in case you ever wondered. One day I'll rebuild this, but it'll look cleaner and with different images.

Hacking Games You Should Try With Friends

When you've got some free time, some free computers and server machines, create a network with a server attached to each computer and then each computer attached to a switch, and then try playing one of the following games: Uplink: Time trial type hack, and only works when using a line, tree or star network). Choose one server to be the hack target, and another to be the log target (must be in the middle of the network when using a line network). Lock the target server down with a proxy and a

Fourth-ward March.

I totally didn't even plan that pun 4 years ago. So. 27/03/2014. Heh. Never really thought I'd make it this far without dying by train, being sent to a loony bin or wasting away on alcohol. And while those things have all been pretty close to happening, here I still am. The Austrexican Lives. The Pants Enforcers reigns supreme. 4 years ago, I found a little email in my old High School email account. Supposedly, I had seen RRU at some stage, and signed up for a newsletter...without

Final Dawn: The Official Novel (Blogged) [MASSIVE RELEASE!]
