Seems like they screwed up something with the title checking, because that's what seems to grey out the button (and the name field too). Also, ever since the project system kicked in, I can't delete my stuff, even though I'd like to make a major cleanup, and as far as I know, no eff was given to our complaints about it.

Seriously, this used to be the most reliable content presentation portal for games and tunes, I've been here for years, and now they've made it a piece of dung wrapped in fancy looks.

For example, Hitler claimed that the Jews will have good life in the camps, but in reality; they were ill-treated and executed. Same goes for ACTA.

Despite I agree with what you said...

Hitler's lagers weren't that big of a deal:
- commie version
- capitalist version

Note that Hitler collected the jewish people under a collective suspicion of treacherous conspiracy against Germany during WWI. Imagine what you'd do if your two adopted children, siblings from an orphan family started choking your beloved relatives. You would at least want them to be locked away, since they are a threat to your own bloodline, and suspect that any of their distant relatives could come and hurt your loved ones.

I agree, racial and religious discrimination are both wrong - but also notice that it was a natural form of political immune-reaction that applied to all three ideological powers (capitalism, soviet socialism and national socialism).

But, to return to our topic, the same mechanism applies to our greedy music and film industry, since the world is a business, Mr. Beale.

Hey, I thought about creating a contra-ACTA/SOPA/PIPA license (or legal disclaimer added to a license) that most explicitly protests against what these three screw up in our life. If any of us publish anything, it must fall under this exclusion.

Any publisher not adopting this form of protest should be shunned and ignored, which means ascetic denial of possessing any product coming from supporters of these cartel pacts (this means shredding even the legally bought CD albums of your favorite bands), and this tendency must be pushed through the media to propagate our views. Demolishment of material could be organized in public, piling up products and collectively destroying them (not burning, but rather shattering).

I know this is harsh, but it certainly would have a shocking effect and would spread like wildfire. Any thoughts on this?

Html/css - Click-thru Elements Posted January 26th, 2010 in Programming

Hi. I'm designing a webpage. I'd like to use a translucent image (either with style.opacity or PNG alpha).

The problem is that I want the underlying material to be accessible, and if I put a DIV or any element on top of text or links, it won't work. Is there any SEO-friendly workaround?

Yes, there are several themes. This is an exodus, a true Epic, a journey to a new home.

Not trying to be picky, it only benefits YOU if we have more info, because then there's a better we will make something that you will like.

Surface plot would include elements of:
under invasion
love
despair
anger
vengeance (lol of course)
conspiracy
suspense

The story is about leaving the invaded Earth in hope of finding a new planet to inhabit. It's spiced up with certain oppositions among people of different parties. The player can take on many roles from glorious hero to selfish mercenary, all depending on how he chooses his path. Game will be at least [T]een rated, but might even reach [A]dult if I apply hardcore cause and effect logic and chaos theory. :P

The game is still in an early development phase - no graphics yet, aside from the menu which is a dark steel blue whirling cloudscape with white flickering holographic buttons and text.

For your interest, here is a picture from Vengeance Void SZÁMALK, my old multimedia developer exam project that I hardly finished even ripped from any real story in a brief 3 months. Note that this new game is not a remake of that one, not even the story is the same. It's much more complex and it will be a prologue to a sequel if people are interested.

I want to implement at least 80% flash graphics and scenery and use a lot of special effects which I couldn't juggle with back when I was working on the old game. Features will include RPG-style development from pimping to tuning. The character will go through a real story with a dense plot, not just flying through space with the sole aim of scoring high.

Wait.........what?!? Do you mean that you DO want it to sound similar to halo? Maybe I'm being dense, but I have no clue what you're talking about. Please elaborate.

Yes, it's alright if it has resemblence. Just don't copy the melody - keep it an original concept for an original game. ;)

But as I said, the game will have a great playlist of tracks, each fitting a certain atmosphere in the game.

btw: can you say what gerne! like mysterious or realy into the fight?

The game will take place in many adventurous scenarios from dark caves to enormous space battles, and will also include intermissions. There is no solid concept, so anything that fits into a more serious deep space adventure would be fine. Your music might even inspire me to bring a twist into the story. :)

Conspiracy, massacre, romance, beauty, horror, suspense and even industrial angst may go well with this one. There's an outdated entry about the game on my NG front page.

Can you clarify this? I assume you'd rather receive a high quality render of a track and downsample it yourself.

My reason is very simple: the game will download music from NG file resources. This way my game can implement more code and graphics to enhance gameplay. (trust me, I'll need it)

Certain music genres use rough and digitized sounds, so even 32k render might be fine, while orchestral pieces require high quality renders. The 128k limit is more of a guide measure.

1 MByte data at 1Mbit bandwidth takes 8 seconds to download, and the ratio at 128k is somewhere around 1 MB/minute. Basically it's not worth keeping the hyped up player sitting and waiting 3 minutes for a 2 minute cutscene because of its background music. :)

Response to: Is slight copying bad? Posted August 20th, 2009 in Audio

There are laws regarding the percentage of relevance of a piece in your own music. Basically, making a sound-alike that is more original than a cover should be enough. Actually, it would be hard to make i.e. folk music without the specific national melodies that distinguish its genre from others.

My GUROchan Anthem is a fine example of that - it's based on the classic Ode To Joy, yet the whole song is entirely different due to the original concept built on it.

Um... Electronic spreads from Chiptune to Hard Techno, not to mention "zero-bpm" Electro-Ambient music and Buttrock Industrial kinda' stuff as far as I know. Could you confirm that you would like to include dark electronic and gloomcore too?

Unless you discriminate it by some reason of course. This is an Anthem based on Ode to Joy, after all... :P
