We’re Number One!

Desire Campbell — Tue, 04 May 2010 01:35:59 +0000

Looks like Canada has topped the US’s ‘piracy watch list‘ again. Yes, the US Trade Representative have placed Canada with China, Russia, Algeria, Argentina, Chile, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Venezuela Ostensibly because of declining sales and non-draconian legislation. Despite having a lower decline in sales than the States.

I don’t have the time to go into a rant about why I’m glad we’re this asinine list, but to be brief, “Consumer rights, consumer rights, consumer rights”.

Anyway, I also updated Qlocktwo again.

New Toyble DBAF Sketch

Hey all, Internet’s been flaky for a while, not that there’s much I would’ve been doing any way.

Not much to update with but there’s this sketch from Toyble and a message saying that he hasn’t updated yet.

And DB Zero is on tap, I’ll update you as it gets done.

What else, Doctor Who series 5 is starting, I might have some thoughts on that later. Arizona’s run by dicks, apparently.

Oh, and some of you know my sister, Claudia? That’s neat, I’ve never felt as famous as that.

Amelia

As many of you know, Amelia used to love sitting on top of my old monitor.

My old, warm, flat-top CRT

And, apparently, switching to a thin LCD monitor won’t stop her!

Looks fine here...

Bum down! Bum down!

No on Bill 94

Hillary’s written a great piece on the proposed Canadian bill banning niqabs.

Short version: it’s indefensible. Contact the politicians at the bottom of this page and help keep Muslim women from being repressed.

Rock Band 3; Player,Character; etc.

Desire Campbell — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:00:16 +0000

So Rock Band 3 announced for end-of-year, some predictions:

Basic stuff: slightly updated instruments, importing songs from RB1 and RB2.
Mainly updates from Beatles RB: harmonies, pause countdown, etc.
What I’m most interested in is a closer integration with Rock Bank Network. Back when Guitar Hero World Tour came out with a music creator as its big selling point, Harmonix responded that it wasn’t good enough to include in Rock Bank, not until they had improved the mechanics presented in GHWT. That RB3 is announced on the heels of RBN going public is probably not a coincidence.
I hope for better character creation stuff. Better Body modification, more/different clothes.
No Beatles RB song imports. It won’t happen.
No stringed guitar controller. No matter what rumours you’ve heard, it’s to fundamental a change and too difficult to keep simple.-edit: Apparently it’s not that hard.

Also, listening to Anthony Burch’s UC Berkly talk about character development and player identity. Awesome stuff. I may not have mentioned Burch before – he is a fantastic, cleaver man. Check him out.

And, if you’re in the Ottawa area, my friend Matt has a band. I think they’re great. You should check them out.

Wordpres error

Desire Campbell — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:32:13 +0000

So I just noticed that my usual permalink structure ( /news/%postname%/ ) is broken, for some reason. /news/%postid%/ seems fine, and /%year%/%postname%/ works too, but ‘static text’-slash-postname just throws 404s.

Anyone have any ideas?
