Death to the father!

Yet another semi-controversial post, as I'm getting bored!
Death of the Father!

British scientists are ready to turn female bone marrow into sperm, cutting men out of the process of creating life.

The breakthrough paves the way for lesbian couples to have children that are biologically their own.

Gay men could follow suit by using the technique to make eggs from male bone marrow.

So.... what have you?

OK

Just finished my final exam in Basic Programming. Easy as hell. Hopefully AP Comp Science will offer a little bit more of an actual challenge next year, but we shall see.
Now I'm just waiting on the bell to ring in one hour so as to take my US History exam. Now THAT might be a little difficult, but not too much so. At least it will take up the majority of the class and not finish within 20 minutes xD

NOTICE TO BAKENSENSEI AND JEFF8500

Wed, 21 May 2008 04:10:23 GMT

((seeing as how neither emails nor pages have worked....))

If you desire to get paid for your 4K participation, PLEASE get your paypal information to me ASAP.

If you don't, no hard feelings on my part, as that just means I get to keep my money *shrug*

I'm not sure how fair issuing an ultimatum is, but that's exactly what I'm doing. Summer vacation starts for me this weekend, and once that happens it will become difficult for me to send payment. As such, you have until Sunday, May 25 to send in payment information.

Oh Heck Yes!

OK, just now realized my ACT scores had arrived and have been waiting for me on my counter. Friggin 32!!!

Scan of score report

OK!!! Woot!!!!

OK, all my tests came back clean. It means I will have to have more tests done soon, but at least there is no tumor!

Also, I get paid again this Friday, so if the 4K winners would PLEASE get their paypal info to me by Sunday it would be much appreciated.

4K Winners

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:44:26 GMT

OK, with one of my judges MIA, and another judge recently moved to Cali, I guess it will just have to be me and the 4th judge to determine the winners.

And the winners are *drumroll please*

Super Stick Skirmish of Superb Scrapper by Mecha Destroyer JD
Buglessness, 20/20
Playability, 9/15
Understandability, 5/5
Skin usage, 1/5
Miscellaneous, 1/5
---------------------
Total: 36/50

Judges comments:
"There is one chink I see in this games armor, which is the skin. It's a fairly intuitive skin, but everything in the window just seems sloppy and out of scale."
~Cheetoz

"Overall fun, even in singleplayer mode. Best though with a real opponent and a customized word list."
~Jamesburrow

Run by Bakasensei
Buglessness, 16/20
Playability, 10/15
Understandability, 3/5
Skin usage, 4/5
Miscellaneous, 3/5
---------------------
Total: 36/50

Judges comments:
"Run is a very enjoyable game which sports a minimalistic kick *** skin, simple but fun gameplay, and well done graphics. Play it now!"
~Cheetoz

"Takes a few moments to get used to the controls, despite being overly simple. I found it easiest to play if you change the default macros to two buttons that aren't so close together. While a fun game, it needs to work out some bugs and have a bit more logic put into it's control system."
~Jamesburrow

Mini Sub Game by Jeff8500

Buglessness, 12
Playability, 10
Understandability, 5
Skin usage, 3
Miscellaneous, 2
---------------------
Total: 32/50

Judges Comments:
"All-in-all a fairly decent game, worth a play or few."
~Cheetoz

"Fun, but needs some serious bug-control. Although not really found unless you look for them, to a cheater they are there."
~Jamesburrow

Anyways, with two games tied for first, I did a little tie breaker, and JD gets first as being the only multiplayer game.

Prizes:

JD: $20
Bakasensei: $15
Jeff8500: $10

It is requested these three people email me their paypal information. However, with me only getting paid every two weeks, and prom being this week, pay is not likely to come before May 9.

Also, JD, as you are first place, I believe that entitles SSSS to be hosted on DigitalBYOND if you choose. I really haven't worked anything out with him yet besides getting an "ok" so I guess I shall have to get in touch with him here soon as well to see how he Digi wants to do that.

Waiting

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 06:11:10 GMT

Well, I had my CT done on Wednesday. I should be finding out tomorrow if I have a brain tumor or just a neurological problem. Yay!

Honestly, the waiting is pure torture. I think I'd rather know for sure I have a tumor than sit here and not know.

Oh well. If it is a tumor I'll at least be able to get out of school for a little while.

In unrelated news, prom is on Friday. Tori picked the most god-awful shade of pink for us to wear... I admit, it does look fantastic on her, but I'm just not really a fan of the colour, yaknow?

And in even more unrelated news, today is 4-20. While that doesn't have any particular significance to me, a lot of my friends are stoners, so while they are all out getting high and having "fun" (if you can call it fun), I'll be at Tor's house helping her dad move stuff out of where it all just kinda got stuck when they moved here from Florida last year. Trust me, I have never seen so much miscellaneous crap.... Old glass coke bottles, plastic coke cans, a few of the "original" recipe cokes (which, probably tastes like crap being as old as it is, but it is the kind that has the cocaine in it), as well as original recipe Pepsi (which had speed), and original recipe 7-Up (which was alcoholic). 30 year old collector's Harley Davidson beers. Etc etc.

4K Update

OK, Digi has agreed to have the winning entree hosted on DigitalBYOND, or a game of similar merit if a single-player game. So, get out there and start coding! :P
