Magnetro – Marvel vs Capcom 2 - Ataraxia Combo Video

We’ve seen tool-assisted Marvel before, but Ataraxia takes it to new heights with camera hacks so we can see some previously offscreen setups. Combo scientists like Magnetro treat MvC2 like a puzzle game where they can create a bouncing Colossus, interruptable Ruby Heart supers, and Dhalsim’s rapid-fire turban attack. Leave it to Magnetro to put out a five minute video that takes a 38 minute video to explain.

Terry Yum Goong

I’ve got videos too! Let’s start with a classic. I need to watch more Tony Jaa movies.

Pretend This Didn't Happen

The world just keeps self-destructing. Did you plan to go to school, watch sports, or attend events? Too bad; it’s all cancelled for the rest of March. At least podcasts still work and Columbus improv comedy scene has one. Season 2 is now online featuring the lovely Jiko and the rest of Brainstorm. Put on some headphones, avoid the crowds, and Pretend This Didn’t Happen.

Lagwagon – May 16

Most of what I know about punk rock came from the Tony Hawk games. I’ve been listening to punk on SiriusXM and Spotify and I keep recognizing songs from Tony Hawk games. This one’s from THPS2. That one’s from Underground 2. That one’s from Downhill Jam. I didn’t realize that these songs were icons in the wider punk rock community, to the point that May 16 is now “Lagwagon Day“. Is it like 20, November for Bemani fans?

Ludum Dare #28 is on!

I’ve entered this weekend’s Ludum Dare competition! Sure, it’s been two weeks since my last post here, but it’s been a full year since my last game compo. They announce a theme Friday night and you have 48 hours to make a game with that theme. I competed in LD #23 and LD #25 using Game Maker 7 and I’m pretty happy with those games, but this time I’m changing it up and using HTML5.

The theme for LD #28 is “You Only Get One.” I don’t know what I’m making yet, but I know I want to use HTML5’s Local Storage to make sure you don’t get another “one” by reloading the game. I need to test if my HTML5 Local Storage, Canvas, and Audio methods work on all of my target browsers, so here’s a quick demo. What you type into it gets stored in your browser’s local storage and doesn’t get sent to our servers. Check back here Sunday night and I’ll post the finished product.

(In the original WordPress post, I embedded my HTML5 Test here. Tumblr doesn’t support HTML5 canvases in posts. That makes me sad.)

Destiny Potato

Look at the bands I listen to. I’m not picky. If they’ve got heavy riffs, serious skills, catchy melodies, and good variety, I’m in. Posting your entire album online helps too. Serbian rock band Destiny Potato hits on all sixes. Potatoes gonna potate.

I Need More Music

UPDATE: Here's the same playlist on Google Play Music.

Hey, you! I need some music recommendations to get me through long days at work. In the comments, please give me an album or a playlist that I’m not already listening to and that I can find either on Spotify or free on the Internet somewhere. I’m an openminded metalhead and I like just about any music if it’s hard enough. As for my own recommendations, here’s a metal playlist I made about a year ago.

Yatsude – Country of a Thousand Nights and Ten Billion Mornings

That’s my best guess on the translation of the actual title “Sen no Yoru to Hyaku Oku no Asa no Kuni”. Anyway, this is my new desktop wallpaper, and it really is shockingly good. It’s the kind of fantasy town I want to live in, but it’s almost realistic, too. I highly recommend logging into pixiv to see this in its full 1800×750 glory. I’ve been mildly addicted to pixiv lately, and I plan to post plenty more of this stuff one image at a time.

Oh Yatsude, your scene splits my dual monitors perfectly so.

My new Kia Forte5

This is my new ride, a 2016 Kia Forte5 SX. I wanted a new five door hatchback with a backup camera, Bluetooth audio, and a nice interior for road trips. When I walked up to the car with the key and the mirrors folded out, I knew this was the one. When I went to Shumatsucon this weekend, I parked in the craziest parking spot I know and took some pictures.

With this, the hardware upgrades are complete. This car is so good, I feel like I need to improve myself to be worthy of it. More on that later.

It's about time I took my own wide angle picture like this. I had to wait a week for a nice day, and I happened to be at an event near this parking garage. I even got a helicopter in the shot!

I probably won't drive up there again. It's really tight climbing to the 8th floor of Fifth Third Center with a car. It's only good for pictures. I haven't tried panorama before. The car looks kinda warped, but I got all of Columbus Commons. It's too cool not to include.
