In gaming, the challenge always seems to be bigger, bolder and badder when it comes to graphics, but why hasn’t anyone really tapped the PC market with full multi-panel display support? This question came to mind again today when I saw this amazing 43″ curved display. I can only imagine the satisfaction of playing a [...]

Yes, that’s right: Kotaku will be without the immense blessing of my presence and personality during their E3 Expo coverage in June. In a follow up to yesterday’s post, I wanted to inform my faithful readers that I was not able to snag the victory in the writing contest and claim my role as a [...]

As many of you are probably aware (well, at least the gamers among you), video game news giant Kotaku launched a campaign last week to offer a solitary individual not currently involved in the gaming industry a chance to attend and cover the highly anticipated E3 Expo with them this year.

Many of you have been waiting patiently for this post, and let me say that I have worked many hours to get this where it is today. I wanted to get my code to the point where it was solid enough that I would actually publish something with it, and I believe it is there. [...]

I decided to take a slightly different approach to Phase III of this series than I had initially intended, since there was a little restructuring that needed to be done in order to support a cleaner and more efficient system. The intent was to have this post cover the basic solution to the towers themselves, [...]

A couple days ago, I decided I wanted to teach myself a few movement algorithms withing Flash using Actionscript 3. I started with simple Event.ENTER_FRAME event trapping to move an object across the screen, and then I decided to make it a bit more interesting. What I ended up with is this small target practice [...]
