Hmmm....Racism

This is one of my few posts that have nothing to do with programming, games, sex or what I did today.I know its been a little while since I updated, but now I'm updating, so stop griping and read or watch I should say.



Pretty cool song with a great message. Now, you know how they say anybody can post crap on the internet. Here is perfect proof(no, not Happy Desolation, idiot >_<, this is the finest literature you'll ever read in your life. I'm going to show the comments).

Apartheid built the strongest country in africa, along with rodesia. blacks came to power promising a rainbow nation, and gave now they do anything and everything to remove white people. look at Zimbabwe now and how it has been destroyed, and South Africa is on the same path. Their was a reason for Aparthied blacks destroy everything. Even when its handed to them. Thus what will happen if Obama comes to power.

MLK was one of the worst men in history. Where did his views get him? 6ft under from a 38 caliber shot to the jaw which also hit him in the spine. If he was such a great man why did he like white prostitues so much? Theres no reason to honor him. Negros have so many outlets to make their lives better but they dont. They always play the race card. Look at the stats 77% of negro men go to prison sometime in their lives. Get over what happened to you over 200 yrs ago. We dont owe you nothing


Thats just a small sample.

Before I start swearing, cursing, drinking and preaching I would like to say two things.

Yeah, this post is probably two months late, but at least its getting done.

AND

Yeah, slavery was in the past. Most of the times when people talk about how "Us black people are still being oppressed", they're just looking for attention. Note that I'm not saying that racism doesn't still exist, but what I mean is that generally, when poeple pull out the slavery card, they just want attention.

Now my beef is that those guys disrespect MLK, one of the greatest Negroes alive as well as encourage a system as racist and biased as apartheid. I mean, where the HELL is it documented that he slept with a white whore? Apartheid ended in 1994, after 50 years in use. Granted, in my opinion, most African countries aren't being run right, but apartheid was responsible for at least 50% of the problems that African countries experience today. Its going to be a long road to recovery for them.

As for Obama being racist and evil, I don't know. If anything, he can always be impeached, can't he? Give the man a chance, people.

Murder my comment box, dudes.

Rant with ya later!!

APRIL FOOLS!!!

I don't know if I scared anybody by saying that I was switching to directX, but I was just kidding. I however am technically working with directX, as I want to take a peek around in the D3DX library to get a better idea of what I need to support. LunaLib is on hold though. I just finished 8 sample DirectX applications, from creating a simple window to picking. Those were for my personal practice though.

The whole DirectX thing was an early April Fool's joke, because I probably wouldn't be able to update tomorrow.

OPENGL FOREVER BABY!!!!

That will be all humans.

Oh, and before I forget, you should all watch Battlestar Galactica. I was reluctant at first, thinking it was a Star Trek ripoff, but I ate my words after watching one episode. That show is AMAZING!!!

Thats all I can say now, BYE!!!

TTYL,

The Latest From The I

I just decided to update the Source of War design document and show it to you guys...so, knock yourselves out. Remember, its MINE...and I will sue, it saves me the work of actually making the game.



I also decided to give up on OpenGL...or at least I'm having an existential crisis. I'm still going to do the Skeletal Animation Tutorial though, so don't worry, my fellow brethren who I betrayed.

Just because I'm giving up OpenGL doesn't quite mean that LunaLib is out of the picture. I'm still going to work on it. Its just that from now on, I'll make directX my favourite development platform.

As I said, existential crisis.

Too bad I don't really have much more to talk about, so...here's a Smash video:



and:

Later!!

Holidays!

Well, finally mock exams are over. I'm actually on my easter holiday break. Nothing to do now apart from cheap sex and Red Alert 2 lol. A lot of crap happened during the exam period, but the exams themselves were pretty easy.

I suppose that last blog post wasn't all that short after all. Since I have 11 days free, I'm gonna probably write a "LITTLE" tutorial on Skeletal Animation. This will be different from the rest so far as:

IT WILL USE openGL alone!!

Thats right, no Irrlicht, no Newton. I've gotta admit, its going to be a lot of work, especially since no 3d model file format supports everything I need. Some of you might be thinking about X and COLLADA files, but X files are hell to read and COLLADA is more of an interchange format. I've decided to write my own file format.

Then I realized that was a practical idea, especially for LunaLib. Instead of having to write small loaders for about 5 different model file formats, I write one large loader for a file format containing everything I need, like tangents and bones. The best part is, since I made it, I know everything I need to know about it.

Two other things before I go.

I have created a Devblog for Lunatek at http://lunatekdevblog.blogspot.com . It should keep you informed about things performing to LunaLib and our games. I won't be the only one posting. Sometimes Marc, Stephen and other staff members will post.

Next, take a peek at this image. It caught my eye on wikipedia so I just decided to show it here.

That image compares the styles in which characters were drawn in older animes to how they were drawn in newer animes. Interesting.

Now, this next image is a challenge that I'm going to give Stephen. Stephen's a good artist, but he's lazy, so I don't know the FULL extent of his abilities. I'm going to see if he can draw the picture below, but in different clothes and a different pose. If he does, I'll be REALLY impressed.

And to be honest, I don't know who the person in the image is.

Oh well.

See ya!
