Games are a welcome distraction this winter break. Things are slowing down and life is returning is normal. I don’t play with the wheel as much as I would like but the next two weeks I should have lots more free time. Here’s DiRT2 with the Fanatec. The FF is much stronger than in Forza, especially in Drift mode.

FF in game @ 70%, wheel FF @ 66%, Drift mode 1

Obituary printed in the SF Chronicle Wednesday December 9th, 2009

It finally came. Excruciating wait since I ordered it back in September. The wheel feels great, the wheel stand is sturdy and the whole set up adds a whole new fun-factor to racing games.

It’s in English. Friends are responsible for that section in the paper so I help out with reviews when they have a huge backlog.

BTW Dropbox is incredibly useful for instant personal hosting of any file type. There’s even an iPhone app for it too.

I’d get DJ Hero if this song were in it.

Edit: looks like youtube pulled it. Check out the artist’s page for more remixes such as Jay Z vs Battletoads

Forza 3 is nothing short of AWESOME. Therefore, it deserves the awesome.gif

Never having created any art in any video game before, this was definitely an eye opening (and FRUSTRATING) experience. I went in expecting layer management and editing similar to photoshop, where I can easily overwrite a part of a layer or make a portion of a layer transparent, but I couldn’t figure out how. After going back and watching Jube’s video tutorial I realize now how important it is to plan out your method and techniques. A lack of planning definitely caused me great frustration and I ended up having to use a ton of stamping to get the details to my satisfaction.

I appreciate the quality of work/time of M0dus and Jube3 10000000x more now. Trying to create this smiley as my first vinyl was quite the challenge.
