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

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

Rru Radio: Come And Get Some!

Hey guys! So, as you may have noticed, I have been privileged with the ability to be the new RRU DJ-guy, and as such, you can now click the "Radio" button above to listen to all your favourite tunes! I've restored almost 90% of all the tracks listed in the last two Radio Request topics, as well as add some of my own stuff to keep you all interested...however, I want more suggestions. As soon as the Radio gets to a reasonable size, I'll shuffle around all the songs every Friday, as well as add a

Birthday Presents

Let's cut to the chase. This year I got an awesome haul: The Sea Cow (LEGO Set). It took me 9 hours to finish it. The LEGO Movie (Everything is Awesome Edition + Special Edition).

Apparently I Need to Fire Myself

Ohboy. It's Spam Message of the Day time. I removed the link at the end, since I sure as hell don't trust it. MESSAGE TITLE: Why you should fire your boss Hey there, Ezekiel here again.

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

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

Wot I Fink: Stories in Gaming

One of the biggest problems I come across in gaming is story. It's a tricky element to get right, and people are both going to want it or going to hate it. The biggest problem is that if you go for a story, you either have to keep it basic as a way to establish why the player is in the game in first place (I call this the "Call to Suspension" trick), or it becomes a core part of the game (I'd call this an "Experience", as you would have noted in a previous Wot I Fink). There's going to be a

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.

Wot I Fink: Women in Gaming - In-Game

NOTE: For now, I just wanted to put out a couple ideas on my stance. I also only covered women in actual games. Another time I'll go more in-depth with more examples and talk about the women who surround gaming. I've rewritten this argument so many times I've lost count. Every time I attempted to write it, I always came off as hypocritical or plain mad, seemingly ignoring the problems. And I know that even in this version, that will still happen. I want to put it out there that people WILL

30 Things You Should Never Do In An Elevator

Make race car noises when anyone gets on or off. Blow your nose and offer to show the contents of yor Kleenex to other passengers. Grimace painfully while smaking your forehead and muttering "Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP!" (I was the subject) Sell Girl Scout Cookies. (I was the subject) Perform a funeral service in the elevator. Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off. (I was the subject) One word. Flatulence! Do Tai Chi ex

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

7 Extreme Powers Studios Blog Episode 3: The Monster In Your Closet

I recommend listening to "Lose Yourself" by "Eminem" while reading this... This Update has been approved of by Zephyr (In my head at least) as being about non-halo content. This Update may make Halo fans cry. This Update contains content about Extreme110's personal life. Stalkers, go away now. It has been a while, my dear fiends friends. I have been locked out of the internet at home, and at school Cyrem for some random and annoying reason added this site to the "Weap

A Complete Mess.

Human life is obsessed with patterns We strive to learn patterns so we never have to relearn them again Games are about patterns Good games teach how to solve patterns, not just give answers to patterns Games therefore are teaching devices [can be described as art] Games therefore should be about things important to humanity We need to get over conflict, fighting etc, as it costs us resources including lives, money, food, etc Therefore, shooters are a waste Humans unfortu

Extreme110 Day 2010 Update: "natalis Confuto"

Well, this is it. I'm gonna be shot. Someone is gonna say, "Damn this is way too short! Weren't you gonna do something SUPA-EPIC-AWESOMENESS for your birthday as a gift to us?" Whelp.

The Influence Of Gaming On Me: Part 1 (1998 - 2000)

My answer to the topic I recently created is going to be extremely long, so I've decided to break it up into multiple small blog entries based on the time period. These will be a bit rough, but maybe in future installments I might add some images and colour to break it all up.   --   I don't know. I dunno why my Dad bought that PS1. He's not much of a gamer; he grew up on a farm with a handful of other siblings before moving down here to the city. Gaming never would be his fo

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

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...
