While in high school I once bit into a ding-dong that had started to rot on the inside. I didn't exactly eat it...

And back on topic, I always wanted Mario seeking hot-feet, hammer bros. that throw bombs (bomb brothers, I suppose), and Mario3 style koopa kids. Ho ho, this is going to be so fun.

It's possible to make a small bully using monty mole and Hyperhacker's Reconfigurer. It's still lethal when you hit it though...

Not mega mole; monty mole, silly. I also said "small". Mega moles are huge.

Plus you can make them lethal to jump on just by checking a box. That goes for Monty as well as Mega.

All I know is that Smallhacker should make more flash movies featuring him "taking care of business".

I actually think it needs a border on the bottom to keep the screen from looking so empty down there. The copyright notice doesn't frame the screen as well as the curtains do.

I thought about that. Maybe you could try lowering the notice. Something about the bottom looks off to me.

Or maybe I'm full of it and you can ignore me. I doubt such a small change really matters that much.

Posted on 07-20-06 01:07 PM, in Amnesia. Link
The closet feeling of amnesia I've ever had was a few weeks ago, actually. It's been raining here a lot recently with large thunderstorms, which is strange because my city is pretty dry most of the time.

Rain is such an odd occurrence here that I decide I wanted to go outside and stand in it, get my hair a little damp or something. Not even four seconds outside and there was a lightning bolt that struck so close to the house (it could have been less than a block away) that I thought that I'd actually been hit.

So I stood there with my ears ringing and eyes seeing nothing but a giant after image, and all my mind would think was, "Oh my God, I've just been struck by lightning." It's like somebody had hit the restart button. Then everything returned to normal and I realized that I hadn't been hit. I felt really foolish even thought there was no one else around.

My first memory is at the Natural History Museum and being afraid of the volcano exibit.

Posted on 07-21-06 08:58 PM, in Ideas needed for the future use of electricity in my hack Link
I’ve used electrified water in one portion of my hack. The first time you cross the room you need to get to a switch in a separate pipe room. The water is safe to cross, but once you return the water has sparks and bolts jumping out of it. I’m still tweaking that level, it needs a lot of extended animation to give enough visual cues to the player so they aren’t “shocked” when they die when they try to jump in.

Terrible pun, I know, but dying because of something that you couldn’t have known about is never fun.

Flashing bolts are easy. Extended Animation can do wonders in the right hands. You can't change the palette, but you can change the colors frame to frame.

Now, a brain fart to me is when you grab some dirty clothes and take them into the bathroom where the clothes hamper is and spend half a minute staring at the toilet trying to figure out what you were trying to do before dropping your clothes into said toilet even as your brain is trying to stop you.

I can't imagine being lactose intolerant or having a milk allergy; I drink tons of that stuff a day, all whole milk. Unhealthy? Probably, but I'm not all that interested in living forever.

I'm allergic to certain types of grass pollen and to cats. It's a pity, because I like cats better than dogs, but I just can't be around them for long periods of time. It gets too hard to breathe.

Cute little kitten! A-door-a-bowl.

I've got myself a cute little puppy dog, but cats make me sneeze so they're out of the question.

Theoretical teleportation abilities aside (teleport to Bowser's Kingdom through a tesseract? Hee hee, neat idea), a tesseract wouldn't be very feasible to pull off even in a 3D game much less a 2D game. We’ve got our crappy 2D rendering of one with all its confusing lines that we can work with and I'm willing to bet all the coins in the Mushroom Kingdom that it would turn out to be a big mess.

I see big gray letters in your future, Lishy.

The custom boss battles are probably the best I've ever played. This is also one of the few hacks that I've played all the way through in one setting.

The "trust fund" makes the Yoshi Coins far more valuable and I find myself going for them when I would otherwise ignore them. The new bonus game is worth the effort, reminds me just a tad of the old Sonic 1 bonus levels.

I would love to see exactly how the final ghost battle was put together.

Un'pio un'pio, Mr. Phoenix. How much time did you spend making that poem? If you hate him that much just PM him. I'm not here to see drivel.

1. http://smwcentral.net/

2. Levels come in two flavors, vertical and horizontal. There's no way to change the height of the horizontal levels and vertical levels are a maximum of 27 screens high (I believe).

3. It's "a lot" not "alot".

Posted on 07-31-06 11:04 AM, in Ethics: Insecticide Link
I got to thinking about this after nuking a civilization of mosquito larva living in the rain barrel in my backyard with Raid, but to be fair this is something I've been thinking about for a long time.

Raid is comprised of three chemical poisons:

Propoxur- A nasty fucking carcinogen that does very nasty things to roach nervous systems by inhibiting cholinesterase, a chemical necessary to the proper function of their nervous system. But then again, our own nervous system relies on cholinesterase so it is toxic to us too, just at much higher doses.

Piperonyl butoxide- Used in lice shampoos. Apparently it can cause vomiting in humans.

Pyrethrin- Made from chrysanthemums. It's a natural insecticide that causes breathing and balance problems for humans.

Any one of these chemicals can kill cockroaches and most anything else. Roaches can't develop immunities to things like Propoxur because of the way it affects them. Boric Acid, probably the most effective cockroach poison (can clear out something like 90% of roach populations), is a slow killer as it needs time to build up in roach systems and isn't much used because it takes a long time to kill the insects and that is not a desirable trait especially when people want results right away.

Okay, so, what happens to cockroaches when they are hit with Raid? Kills on contact much like a shoe, but you can't leave magical "shoe residue" over things to continue killing roaches or ants can you? Raid is much more effective? Ever sprayed spiders? They go nuts and usually try and run away from their "tormentor". Black widows are fairly resistant to Raid actually. They take minutes to die instead of seconds.

An insecticide bomb can reach far more surfaces than Raid ever could and roaches hit by this kind of poison can take several hours to die. Same with professional sprays like Orkin. You usually find these ones back up on your kitchen floor looking larger than life. "Why are they so big?" you wonder. "These were living in MY house?" Actually, they weren't so big until they were poisoned. Cockroaches other organs are surrounded by what is called a fat-body, which is essentially their liver. Poison a roach and its fat-body swells bloating to twice its size and making the normal sized cockroach look enormous. This is apparently very painful as the roaches seem to be in constant agitation until they die.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is: How many cockroaches are worth a single human life? A hundred? Two thousand? Limitless? Killing one human is murder but you can pretty much gas an entire city worth of life into extinction any day you decide to fork over enough money.

So, is it ethical to kill cockroaches and where do you draw the line? And which is worse on the ethic scale: Poison or stepping on the roach?

Maybe I'm biased.

Just things I think about in my free time. No wait... There we go.
