I appear to be 25.
This appears to make me look under my desk all day. (From someone stationed in Baghdad. He was recently bitten by a camel spider which was hiding in his sleeping bag. I thought you’d like to see what a camel spider looks like. It’ll give you a better idea of what our troops are dealing with. Enclosed is a picture of his friend holding up two spiders.)
This appears to do little to dissuade the fear caused via the above.

I feel like I’m pulling a JD because I am not sure what to take away from this. On the one hand, I think it’s fantastic, and I saw a lot of the game (sound effects, animations, motions, etc.), and these guys got it all perfect. On the other, these guys obviously are expressing frustrations with the games quirks, but I’m thinking that’s what makes it fun in exploiting those in humor.
Interesting to note, if I had lived next to these guys, I’d probably have helped. Score for the internet to give something like this exposure so people from all over can view such a great piece of entertainment.
This started off as an app I was gonna spend my newfound freetime on, as copying and surpassing WinAMP’s current incarnation is a nigh impossible, albeit daunting task. I love those.
Well, then the contract work hit, then Flex came along, and the whole time I’m attempting to do homework so I can pass class. I’ve waited 3 weeks for my Yahoo account, but haven’t followed up simply cause I was busy. I know form the Central Dev list who to talk to… but at this point, I’ve got better things to do. This project I do want to continue when I have more time, but figured sitting on ice for 3 weeks doesn’t help those that might want to look inside. It’ll be awhile before this is anywhere close to being worth 5 bucks.
She’s full of bugs, uncompleted functionalities, and she’s one hell of a memory hog after 30 minutes (adding to the 60 meg footprint your start with), but hey… there’s a reason I’m going to R&D vs. Developement soon, hehe…
BTW, removed the Slider component from… uh… DRK 3? Just to confirm I’m not proliferating anything illegal, but you could make your own I guess. Anyway, the point isn’t to compile, but rather see the code. The good code is the PLS to DataProvider or whatever I called it. I used Sean Voisen’s approach to classes, Geoffrey William’s Central AS2 classes, and Grant Skinner’s GDispatcher. My disclaimers are that my structure does NOT follow the mx.core.UIObject/UIComponent framework correctly at all, and my base class wrapper is old, so disregard for best practices (not that you would look to me for guidance beyond what games to play). It’s my first time using a Pod, so be gentle…
If you keep the pod open to listen to music, make sure you stop and start every 30 minutes… or you won’t be able to once Central laches hold to your virtual memory; at that point, it’s all over.
Yes, I know the installation badge is offsetting my site mr/mrs designer head, werkin’ on it…
Granted, my interpretation of negative may be positive to others, but I loathe spam, so whatever.
Anyway, got this spam email in my work’s junk box, and right before hitting delete, a familiar image came into view. The video they were asking you to view (an image to trick you to going to their site to view it) had some familiar looking controls… Flash Video ones that come with one of the Media players. I’ve seen them on other sites, so immediately, I became intrigued. Scrolling down, they even had the form done in Flash…!
I couldn?t get any of the url?s to work, but saving the email as HTML on my desktop allowed the Flash to play as normal. Wow? turns out, live SPACE mercial dot COM (eerily similar to http://www.mediadiva.net/) is promoting the use of Flash video in emails now. Craziness. Although I hope all spammers burn with excruciating pain in fiery hell, this is awesome! If millions have to suffer for proliferation of Flash video, heck, I?ll take this shot in the arm with pride!!!
