Speaking of revolutionising music, has anyone else seen these awesome "literal" music videos? The "Take On Me" one is the original (and best, I think), but "Under The Bridge" is also pretty hilarious.

Tektek.org's Dream Avatar is an awesome avatar creation game that has been sweeping the Lux Forums like wildfire. Lots of cool stuff to choose from and output is a PNG on a transparent background. Sweetness.

Their HTML output code is missing some "s in it unfortunately, and won't work in a comment here without being fixed.

It features a central Hex Stronghold guarding Lord Quasar's Castle, surrounded by Luxers villages on all sides, yearning for glory...

The Castle Lux maps were created by Mark Bauer, who also made the maps for all the expansion Lux games.

Top indie games of 2006 and Vancouver represents

dustin — 2006-12-31T21:50:08-05:00

GameTunnel released their 2006 TOP 10 Games of the Year, focusing on independently produced computer games.

Vancouver based indies took spot number 9 with FizzBall (a fun take on Arkanoid), and spot number 2 for Eets (a combo of Lemmings and the Incredible Machine). That's 20% for lotus land.

I bought the number 3 game Titan Attacks when it came out this year, and beat it. It's an awesome retro Space Invaders game, and runs on Mac OS X. The only other mac game on there is FizzBall. That's a matching 20% support for Mac, with a few more maybe getting ported later.

Most Excellent!

Double Wires flash game

Double Wires is a fun flash game. Swing from the roof-tops using your wires for as far as you can. Actually they are more like blob-tops, but it's still cool.

My new MacBook Pro

dustin — 2006-11-03T01:47:30-05:00

My new MacBook Pro arrived early this morning, and so far it's awesome. Apple's transfer assistant kicks ass, easily copying (almost) everything over from my old PowerBook to the new one with no effort required.

The speed increase is noticeable in a bunch of different applications. Compiling the Lux sources takes under half the time on the new book versus the old one. Since the MacBook has an Intel chip in it, I can also run Windows on it (purely for testing purposes). I bought Parallels Desktop, so I don't even have to reboot; Windows can just be run inside a window of Mac OS X.

I've been lusting after a MacBook Pro since they were first released. I told myself that I would hold out for the first revision, to avoid any early model problems. There turned out to be a variety of issues with the first generation models, so it was a good move. As soon as Apple announced the new models last week I jumped on it like a fat kid on a smarty. So far this one is rock solid (knock wood). I'm even working with it on my lap, and it seems cooler in temperature then my Powerbook was. Time will tell the full story of course. For now: Kick ass!
