I bet they had a guy at Marvel that did nothing but come up with the action sounds. “Alright guys… this is crazy but I’m just gonna come out and say it… FWANG. Eh? Ehh? FWANG.”
Hogan Tart Nads is an anagram for my name.
TF2 is too much goodness for one man.
“I wish IE6 would just disappear like all the divs I try to position in it.”
Waiting for TF2 to unlock

Gutsy use of the stylus. I love the idea, I just hope it isn’t unwieldy in practice…

Ben Mathis is awesome. →
Beautiful low-poly models. Love the texturing.
I really wish Google would stop using onmousedown on their fucking links. Now I have to open the page and copy the link from the URL bar because the link gets replaced with their stupid JavaScript tracking whenever I right click on it.
I... am... Iron Man. →
Finally, a high quality version of the Iron Man trailer. Wheeee!
10am. Haven’t slept yet, I’m drinking alcohol, and I have a day of coding ahead of me. Storm clouds are brewing.

Found some old modules buried on my drive. Listening to them makes me want to code a tile engine. Come to think of it, old music always inspires cravings for the type of game programming I was doing at the time. I guess it has been a larger part of my life than I realized…

Jim Bean isn’t a very nice guy.
Illustrative Rendering in TF2 →
Valve released this video to accompany the whitepaper by Mitchell, Francke, and Eng describing the art direction and rendering techniques used in Team Fortress 2. Great reference.
Debugging is fun.
Editing someone’s C code. VectorLength function was returning the weirdest values. 618, 4093, etc., for a zero length vector. Turns out the function wasn’t declared in the header. Compiler was assuming an integer return value, and doing crazy float conversions on it. Niiice.

Best use of a tablet PC ever?
