They are my oldest and deadliest enemy. You cannot trust them.
If Hitler invaded Hell, I would give a favourable reference to the Devil.

Premakes

Awesome.

Getting The Important Things Right

Torchlight ticks a box - better equipment should look better.



It's magic armour, okay?

...

Maybe it works by distraction.

P.S. Right-hand gun fires poison bullets, left-hand gun fires electrically charged ones, like a sort of non-non-lethal taser.

P.P.S.  I'm sure the aim of the game isn't just to collect items to make your character look cool.



Pretty sure.

Stop Changing Stuff!!

Sony are discontinuing Cinescore - the program I used to mix my three recent albums.  They say they're working on something new, but no word as to what or when; Cinescore and its content packs will cease to be as of 1 January 2010.

If you're interested in a high-level musical paint program, I can recommend it, particularly since it's 60% off until it expires.  The download version comes with 20 themes and costs $45.98.  (I paid $110 or so; it originally sold for around $400, I think.)

Meanwhile, the video player I licensed for integration with Minx has a new version - with a new license, which has no "unrestricted" level; it's all per-site.  Shades of Movable Type and the 3.0 debacle.

I can still integrate the old version, which works perfectly well.  The new version ratchets up the fees dramatically, to the point where the cost/benefit just doesn't make sense...  Just like MT 3.  And we all know how that turned out.

Anyway, just randomly ranting because one of the work servers suffered a RAID explosion yet agan and turned a simple half-hour task into four hours of scrambling.  I hate Adaptec.

Update: The video player people are being reasonable.  They do want more for the upgrade than it cost me for the original license, but it's still cheap for an unrestricted license for this sort of application.
