Well I decided to make a video about religion and shit super heroes.
Not the best quality but it’s a start….I’d also like to add a disclaimer that if you’re religious, you’re probably going to find this HORRIBLY offensive, which was kind of the point!
I don’t know if you’ll remember, but last year I had the idea of a designers vs developers paintballing day, and I had quite a good response to the initial idea.
Last year I decided to incorporate my freelance work and become an actual entity, I then went a further step up the ladder of time consuming things by having a long distance relationship, which then ended up with the other party coming to live with me (I’m not at all annoyed about that second one, just sayin’). So you can see how my time was stretched.
Well it’s the start of a new year and summer is right around the corner (A British summer mind you), and an interesting contact in the way of paintballing has come along, taking part of that extra little bit of hassle to get this off the ground.
So basically, I’m going to ask again, who would be interested in this day? Once I have an idea of numbers I can get more information about dates and locations.
You can show your interest by leaving a comment or letting me know on twitter, and if you have any friends in the industry, don’t be afraid to share with them 
Also, for all intents and purposes, designers are front end workers and developers are back end workers 
As a Brit, when I heard about this, not one fuck was given.
But who am I to step down at the chance of being a total cunt, so in honour of anti-sopa and anti-pipa shit that’s going down, I’m going to do something, I’m not going to blackout or censor my website, because frankly, if I censored it, there’d be nothing left. Instead, I’m going to give you these embedded youtube videos to watch that all contain copyright material and are posted without permission of the copyright holders, enjoy.

While browsing Facebook today I came across a post by a friend of mine about them being ill, and thinking they’re turning into a zombie. At this EXACT moment, Re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton came on, and I realised that perhaps it was a sign.
All us geeks have without a shadow of a doubt, logged a minimum of 3 hours on some sort of zombie survival game (Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising, Dead Island, etc, etc), watching a zombie themed tv show (Walking Dead..are there actually any more?) or watching the many zombie related films (28 days later, I am legend, etc, etc). So when you think about it, we’ve been subconsciously training ourselves for the eventful day when civilization collapses (likely to be soon if they vote yes on SOPA and PIPA) and the dead begin roaming the streets. So take this hypothetical situation:
You’re at home, and the news breaks with headlines like ‘Z Day has arrived’ and ‘The dead are people too’.
You suddenly realise that today is the day, the day that you shine, you knew all those hours playing left4dead were going to come in handy one day.
It then sinks in and you find yourself realising just how real this situation is, and that you need to plan to find loved ones, find shelter, find food, and most of all, you need to survive.

What I’m asking, is if the above hypothetical situation (I don’t want any readers thinking this is really happening) arose, what would you do? I want to know where you’d go, who you’d take, where’d you get food and water and what weapons/armour would be used.
Here’s an example:
Drop a comment below telling us what you’d do on the fateful Z Day! Happy hunting.
Those of you that read my previous post about insomnia will know that I seem to have gained an abnormally large amount of free time over the last few days.
I took this opportunity to not only look into new things, but to properly plan the new things that I will be doing, and I appear to have ran out of ideas (read: pro-plus).
Since I have some free time and since I’m going through the process of learning to use all of the aforementioned tools, alongside Java, I thought it’d be worth giving something back and sharing what I’ve learnt.
Through my learning process I’ve found that a lot of information that I would consider important or frequently requested, is extremely hard to find, if at all.
For those of you who pay any attention to my Twitter or Facebook, you’ll have noticed that I’ve pretty much been online for a day or two at a time, without going off to sleep.
To explain a bit, I suffer from mild acute insomnia. This basically means that a lot of the time I have trouble getting to sleep and if I manage to get to sleep, I find it difficult to remain asleep. I’m not talking about Fight Club level insomnia, I’m talking about difficulties in the mildest sense.
So it appears that between writing my initial post, and this one, the mod itself has progressed over three minor versions.
I’ve fixed a few issues from previous versions, modified a few existing features and added in some brand new ones.
So, for those of you unaware, for the last few weeks I’ve been throwing around ideas for a mod when I finally came up with this.
FictionalCraft is built to be a technical alteration mod very similar to IndustrialCraft and BuildCraft but taking away the nitty gritty of actual electric and the things we have in the real world. Instead it works on magical essence.
All of the new ores and elements added into the game are pre-existing fictional elements from various sci-fi shows and comic books. All of these blocks allow you to build various devices and extract the magical essence to imbue other items.
More information will be added soon.
So, here we are again. I’ve gone full circle and I’m back to using WordPress.
I’ve been very busy recently with various different projects, not to mention my girlfriend moving in with me, so I have little time to sit online and stress about things.
Work however, has finally slowed down so I will have time for various different projects which should be fairly interesting.
All new information and updates will be posted here. Keep watching
