it was pretty hilarious. i definately approve, especially since im from the same state as those frat boys (south carolina) who made complete douchebags of themselves. its pretty hilarious.

Tomorrow is gonna be crap, back to college :( but getting my hair cut in the morning :)

class tomorrow is gonna rock. i get my automata theory test back. i cant wait to see the look on a certain someones face when i get the highest grade in the class.

I haven't seen Borat yet. It's been on but can't seem to catch it when it's starting.

You tend to make things worse rather than helping.

Hey guys. I am just starting to get into programming (I am taking a programming course at my school) in Visual Basic 6. I downloaded Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and it works great. Now, I also have Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and that is used apparently for game design. Is C++ good for game design?

Note that I am a beginner who is just getting into Visual Basic and C++. So far, I am enjoying it so I will be in this forum a lot.

No, but that's because 'design' is a phase all in its own!

You will typically be designing long before you come to an implementation, and it's an important part of the process.

While I in no way am a fan of C++, it can be used for game design, although it might take some work before you can get up and running with even a basic window...

If you want to start off fast, I recommend Python and something like Pygame. You'll be up and running faster, it's a lot more sane of a language than C++, and you'll keep yourself motivated because you'll start seeing results a lot faster.

I am officially stupid. :( I rather meant it can be used for implementation.

Also, when you speak of 'games' I am generalizing a bit in that you mean games with graphics, interaction, etc.. You could probably whip up a game in C++ that does something like, say, play some blackjack in a week if you're just starting off. But fully blown windows with a graphics API like OpenGL? You're looking at a stretch of time a lot longer than a week if you want to use C++ and are starting off.

Borats pretty good, hilarious and some parts.
AHHH, THE JEWS, THEY'VE TURNED INTO COCKROACHES, JUST TAKE OUR MONEY!

Wow I've never seen so much bad/incorrect advice be given out in the same thread before.

Anyway Borat is funnier than I remembered it to be. I've just got back in from getting my hair cut, and I have to go out again (to college) in about half an hour. Urrh :(

The joys of being off for a week.
Don't think i'm at work either, so i'm gonna take this week to get a shitload of stuff done, programming wise.

I've been messing with my blogging script that i intend to release for download, and my portfolios just about finished.
Could do with a bit of freelance work actually. I'll have to have a look about.

After i watch WWE No Way Out of course.
Wrestling FTW :P

I love getting PMs from people assuming that I'm interested in game making when I never asked questions about it or even wanted information about it. Trying to market something to someone who doesn't want to be marketed to is interesting lol. I'm not gonna go into the rest of what the PM said. It was just kinda weird.

iMac arrived. Win. :-)

Interesting. I'll check out out.

I was off last week, and that was my exact thinking, and what did I get done? Absolutely nothing.

Blog script sounds interesting. I'm keen on learning a couple of blogging platforms (well, how to use/make themes for). I can do WP, but it makes a bigger client base if there are a range of things you can design for.

Fake wrestling is fake :\

I got a PM from a guy the other day (and this happens like once every month), when I help people in a thread they send me a PM saying thanks. Okay, I'm happy to help... but I don't want you to stalk me about it!

Nice one :D Is it everything you dreamed and more? heh

I hate procrastinating, yet I can't seem to get motivated to write this paper! This paper is 50% of my grade too :(

What do you guys think?

Not much for programming, but I decided to take a break from it to work on link above. Just thought I'd get a little fun into your lives.

So, how's everyone?

The only thing that looks good is the front page :/ The layout is screwed up on the rest of the pages.

I'm fine, just getting lots of stuff done today, including kicking my alcohol intervention paper's ass :D (at least I'm trying to anyway lol)

My website is finally semi-complete :D

What's with the little blue lines above the comment images?

Nav goes away on code page

I like your comment icons

Also, that thing with Xavier was scary OMFG GTFO NOW

LOL cherries i love your contact page, "AIM: goldencherriesXD"

Like the copyright notice, and i like the story even more :)

It's supposed to be like that, so I don't have to make little horizontal boxes and such.

I'm not seeing that? Mind taking a screenshot?

I can't see the blue lines either, maybe problem with ur brows0r?

I circled them. I'm not sure if it's an IE 7 thing but it just looks a little weird. It might have to do with the a.comments in your css since you named it with an a instead of it being a regular class.

sam: The screen is immense. Installed the developer tools and I'm in way over my head right now.. here's hoping I can get some tips on Xcode development. :-)

Loving QuickLook and Spaces. iMovie 08 is also a real nice little application. Also loving the fact that I can play my music with a remote from across the room.

That would be very handy. Wish there was something like that for Windows :(
