Current Statis...

Okay, so heres the deal, I've made 1 fully functional and complete game so far, and I'm working on a second. Keep in mind, the first one is the tutorial to the software I use, and the first game I've ever done.

Game 1: The Stereotypical Fruit Game

Objective: Click the fruit and don't click the bombs, click the bombs, and you die. Simple enough.

Controls: Use the mouse.

Notes: Okay, so this game is up and running, but I'm working on trying to figure out how to make it a game you can play straight off the web, without having to download it.

Game 2: Viral Infection

Objective: Progress through each level without dying, and make it to the portal to proceed to the next level

Controls: Arrow keys to move, up to jump, and use the mouse for the menus.

Notes: I'm still currently working on this game, so all thats left is about three levels, which I should be done by next class (Thursday) and I should have it up and running that day too.

I'll keep you guys posted about any news of my games, and also put in links or the games themselves here, sometime this week.

You've just been disconnected.

So I'm still trying to wrap my mind about this one, and sadly I lost the link to prove this, but trust me, it's true.

Alright so we all know Activision right? Their most recent title being Call Of Duty: Black Ops. The game sold more than any other ever. EVER. And whats the best part of the Call of Duty games? Multiplayer. Now, because Activision is stupid, they have something called dedicated servers (most game companies have these) this is where they create games for other people to play, but they only have this. Meaning you can't make your own game for you and your friends to play online in.

Now, this is all fine and good right? Except, if anyone wants to play online, they have to use the Activison dedicated servers right. Following me so far? Good.

Here's where it gets interesting. (Now this is all I could understand out of what someone posted earlier) Apparently some dude wrote a huge letter to Activision about how buggy and glitchy the servers are, and how they should be fixed. Then (again, because Activision is stupid), they proceeded to make some twitter post or some other "hip" thing people do, saying they plan to remove all dedicated servers which support the PS3 version of the game.

Coincidence or not, if this is true, then you will no longer be able to play Black Ops online on your PS3. And truth of the matter, theres nothing anyone can really do about that. So all in all, life sucks if you like that game.
