I never really listened to the lyrics before tonight, but I think Brown Sugar is about a guy raping a slave.

edit: on a side note, is anybody doing a game in java right now? what graphics library are you using? (if it is something different from the normal java graphics stuff). Sound library? If you have used it, how is Slick?

@s_l_m

I'm making a java game with Slick2d. It seems that the only real choices for game development engines for java are slick2d for 2d work, jmonkey for 3d work, and LWJGL for OpenGl, although it seems difficult to learn. Slick2d works pretty well, although it needs more documentation.

Thank you for the info Impmaster. May the sun forever shine on your fields and may your firstborn child be a masculine one  

Anyway, that exact problem (lacking documentation) was why I was kind of leery of Slick. But I might try to look into it when I have some time now

[Impmaster]

may your firstborn child be a masculine one 

What if I want a girl? Anyways, if you have any questions with Slick2d, post them in the technical board or drop me a message and I'll help you. There are quite a few bits where I had troubles, and I would be happy to help others out of those problems.

Thanks, I might just take you up on that offer.
And the child thing is just one of my uncles sayings because we think shit like that is funny.

I installed Windows 8 on one of my computers to see how it is.
I reinstalled Windows 7 three hours later

I tried it at a Fry's once.
I promptly washed my hands afterwards.

Woah, Blockland is on sale for $5 this weekend. I believe it's going to be greenlit on Steam soon too.

Zelda Crossbow training outsold the best selling 3D zelda wasn't aware of it!
We are going to see more mini game and simpler core nintendo title I think. New super mario series also outsold any 3D entries ...

Also franchise decline of metroid, starfox and zelda.
Mario is regressing to infancy and kart is stagnating ...
More franchise are forgotten ...
No more genre/generation/control/platform defining game, quality on part with the best 3rd tiers on the same genre.

2 trends
- Lapse hardcore gamer fall back on title who remind them their younger time and basically stick with the known.
- New gamer not up to speed wit the modern literacy needed to play advance game.

I don't think we are going into a progressive curve ...

isnt that just because it was bundled with the wii

wii sport was

Maybe after a few more years all those noobs who only played something as complex as one button iPad games will start to look for more complex gameplay experiences.  For now, though ..
