I have something that I consider to be good news!

After looking at the mindmap I built to give me some direction in writing, I've noticed that I want to be able to make logical decisions and give the user more control as a whole. Also eliminate the need for physical dice rolls by implementing them directly and also adding something that resembles imagery.

On that note, I am proud to announce am planning to change the series into a constantly updated Flash applet. This will allow for much more control by users, generate random dice rolls, and be less frustrating and spoileriffic than scrolling down constantly.

On that note, if anyone could do anything to provide me with resources on making logical decisions and basic command in action script I'd be overjoyed. I already know a bit about basic programming but in Delphi, not Action Script, so anything will help.

I hope you'll be happy with the work when it's finished, though it will be quite frugal, I'm no artist :<

First off, I'm dead sorry that I haven't updated it very often. I've hit a few dead ends because I didn't plan ahead which is vital for something like this.

Though I have now got a... DUN DUN DUUUUUNNN!... Mind map, looking at possible avenues and there's something a bit shameful in the story flow but I should be able to divulge paths a bit more after that.

thought it might be on a hiatus for a while because I have A level exams coming up in january and I have done like... fuck all revision.

thanks fo' being patience, suck yo dicks if I could :3

If you're just watching me because we used to be friends some time ago but we haven't talked for months at a time now, you can stop watching.

I'm not holding you down to some long term contract.

I can die a happy, happy skunk.

You read it, now you post it.

Originally going to be a reply, but I thought I might get screwed over by someone for writing too much and going off topic.

My problem with the current games industry is that most games are made with prevailing graphics but little ingenuity in the actual level design. They almost all lack colour. Play any of the latest games and what you'll see most often is either a brown, moody, dark mess or just bland silver hallways in some spaceship somewhere. Even Doom had more colour than most of the now-a-day games.

Also the FPS has been done and there are very little places an FPS can go, or at least anywhere a new age game developer would dare go. Gameplay innovation is basically a FPS with quick time events these days. Or they could be "realistic" which is a bit of a piss-take now. There's no such thing as a realistic FPS, most of the time you just run around firing bullets at each other and fake blood decals appear on your model until finally one of you falls down, suddenly collapsing in a big heap on the floor with the most realistic ragdolls ever, because we all know when you shoot someone they just suddenly constrict and collapse on the floor. I don't know what the game industry has against death animations now, its like they just gave up on them because they aren't realistic enough. In all the FPSs I've played you can't shoot someone in the leg and they won't run as fast as they could and you can't shoot their gun and knock it out of their hands and they never react realistically.

Take Bioshock for example, the splicers barely try to dodge your fire or hide, they just run at you and take as many bullets to the face as it takes to kill them. Or some FPSs where for some silly reason the boss is exactly the same as some other enemies but with a silly high amount of health. Like Bioshock! The doctor guy is just another splicer but he can take bucket loads of buckshot to the face without so much as flinching! Realism dies when a two barrels of lead shot to the face doesn't so much as make the enemy flinch.

And oh my GAWD, if I play one more game where three of the same enemies all attack me at once I'm going to go to the developers house and commit watersports on them as they sleep! It's ridiculous! They put half the budget in graphics and the first thing they do is make 10 enemy models, all just a bit different from each other, and you'll spend the next 6 hours or so shooting the same 10 people over and over again so you can watch their body convulse violently and topple to the floor when they hit 0 HP. It's a miracle when a tank or a helicopter roll onto the scene because something different has finally happened! But nah, that's just dropping of 20 identical soldiers to rape you silly and run over to whatever fox hole you happen to be held up in so you can blast their ragdoll away with a shotty from zero distance.

And the one thing that pisses me off more than anything in a game. Enemy ESP. I swear that you can run to a different screen and hide and the enemy will still hunt you down. This happens lots in Oblivion. I'll accidentally try and pick a lock on a door and when I close it, without trying I should tell you, the guards are all like "Stop! Thief!". So I run to the next map and hide behind a rock or a wall, crouched up in a small corner before the guard even gets to the same map. The guy just strolls up and catches me, sometimes right through the wall, not even bothering to walk around it! Screw working on graphics for a while and would someone make decent AI! Some of these games just don't have AI! It's like;

0<Me Here On Map In Brain lololololololo
___________<Wall in the way of my sight non-obstacle
X<Player Char here!

They have X-ray eyes! It's the only explanation! Well not really, they've just been programmed to mindlessly follow your character, with no real line of sight. Guards in the first Metal Gear Solid at least had a distinguishable line of sight!

Graphics don't make a game and I'm hoping that after game companies have got over the thrill of having the PS3 and Xbox 360 to toy with they might actually put some funds into new ideas and decent AI.

Oh... oh wait...

And now I might too =D

Prepare to see a long list of yes!

In a sad attempt to boost my ego I have decided to post my stories both on here and Yiffstar (can I mention that site here?).

This will allow me to expand my horizons and make it so I don't have a totally inactive page with nothing on it and where nothing happens.

No

If a man were to fart in church, would he have to sit in his own pew?

OM NOM NOM NOM

When two germ colonies meet in a petri dish, do they start germ warfare?

I'm currently listening to a drum and bass dream. It sound awesome, it has singing and shit in it and the video portrays a group known as Heaven's Gate and an abstract version of what happened that day where the leader of the church made 32 (33?) people kill themselves at the same time because they thought there was a spaceship behind a passing comet that you need to kill yourself to get to that will take you to Heaven :D

Anyway, here's a link to the video and song;
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WPbeE.....eature=related

~Devil
Before Fight 1- "I could kill you in one move. Seriously. Turn around and I'll show you."
Before Fight 2- "You're gonna get merc'd."

~ Victories~
Perfect Victory- "Mercéd"
Victory 1- "Now who owes who money?!"
Victory 2- " =Crouching down by the beatéd= No wallet? Seriously?"
Victory 3- "=Puts a bottle of whiskey next to the body= You'll be needing that when you wake up."
Victory 4- "Hehe, you're dead! Hehe... oh fuck here come the feds..."

~ Losses ~
Loss 1- "I need a drink..."
Loss 2- "What? I thought that my block all the time strategy was good."
Loss 3- "Oh yeah, you'd like to me get annoyed over this wouldn't you? Fukken sadist."
Loss 4- "Hang about, I'll be back in on this in a minute...=Heaving on the floor="

Time up (Win)- "Block strategy, no way out."
Time up (Lose)- "I don't know who should be more embarassed, me for losing because a time I can't see counted me out or you for not being able to kill me in 99 seconds."

Up my ass, around the corner,
All the way to california.

Go together like JRPGs and FPS players. My internet seems to be on the fritz, it keeps logging me out of my IM programs, websites will load once ever now and again and suddenly my computer bores me.

If I drop anyone mid conversation or dissappear suddenly on forums, etc. it's because Virgin Media have done it again and we won't be getting internet till they figure out why this keeps happening.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Also in the time I have between my net being as dead as my dog and being functional I'm planning on writing a story, featuring rape, my fursona and herm dragon/s because I love Devil lots and lots.

Just sayin'.

Right then, where do I start the, ay?

My friends birthday last night, a huge cluster of people, 72 bottles of beer, 2 bottle of cheap cider, 3 or 4 bottles of WKD, 16 cans of Carling Black Label, three types of this weird wine stuff that was proper rank on its own but I made some banging drinks out of them, some girls brought rum, some others brought a bottle of Rosé.

It was us versus the hordes of Kitchen. We ran in to the battle song "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis we moshed into foreign lands and cracked open some skulls! Skulls meaning bottle caps and can tabs but all the same, beer blood is tasty.

So by about an hour in everyone was in the conservatory where the music is and jumping about, dancing, singing or just yelling at the top of their voice. The people who wouldn't/couldn't dance just fell over in the living room and talked about the usual things, football, drink, table football and if anyone can get up long enough to play it, drink, why we were watching the news, what we were doing later that week, drink, who was banging who in the spare room and the small house outside and drink.

Well the night got older, and about 11 no one had the will to stand and some where getting depressed, the rest still soldiered on, trying to keep up with songs or playing table football.

When I got picked up the party had pretty much crashed, everyone standing or laying unconscious in the living room.

Amount of alcohol consumed; An official binge twice. Wankered.
Guys who got lucky; 3, not me though :<
Girls who got lucky; 3.
Quotes;

From around the table football table;

"Bury it! That's not what you want! That's not what you want!"- Blue team.
"Who does he think he is!? Who does he think is!?"- Red team.

Everywhere else;

"SHOTLEY!" "CHELMO!" "IPSWICH!" "I'm not even gonna say Holbrook..."-Most of the party.

"(With phone out)Now if you two would like to have lesbian sex..." "=Winds me and throws my phone across the room= Aww you're dirty!"-Me and some girl I didn't know.

"Hey boy! I'm Kase!" "Yeah, I'm Richard..." "Cool boy...=Unconscious="-Kase and me.

There's probably more but I ca- No wait one more!

"Give me gear, thank you dear, bring yer sister over here, let me shag with her just for the hell of it!"-Me

Yup that's about all I remember...
