LifeInAnEgg on "V-Camming in as2"

LifeInAnEgg — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:56:35 +0000

I'm using as2 for my game engine, and I'd like to implement some split-screen action. Maybe you have seen the split-screening in Lego Batman (I know), where it has both characters on the same screen, but as they seperate, the screen splits on two, and you suddenly have two cameras. I like that idea, but it seems very difficult to accomplish in as2. My question is, is it possible to have multiple vcam movieclips at the same time, or do I just have to zoom out, as the two characters seperate?

Also, is it possible to have a blurred vignet, like in Limbo, without having to blur every individual object?

FairlyObvious on "Introduce Yourself"

FairlyObvious — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:45:44 +0000

I'm curious to know where everyone is from and how old they are.
I think it would definitely add to the general knowledge of who we have around here, and add to the discussion if we find aspects we can relate to, you don't have to use any other name then your username though

So I'm known as Fairly, I'm DrNero's girlfriend, and consequently end up involved in a lot of his projects. I'm 23, and I'm from the United States, Alabama specifically, but right now I'm going to school in Louisiana.

I hate SOPA! SOPA will ruin the Internet we know! Many sites are going down on the 18th to protest. These sites include Wikipedia and Minecraft.

wallross on "Half-Life: The games, the mysteries and the awesomeness"

wallross — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 20:50:02 +0000

As some of you probably know, I bought the orange box not too recently. And I have to say it was definitely the best money I ever spent on gaming. Team Fortress 2 is wickedly addictive, even though I'm not to good at it. But the best part of the package was certainly the three Half-Life games.

The Games:

I've never played the original Half-Life (probably because I was two when it came out), but a game does not simply get a 96 on Metacritic. And from all indications, it seems about 6 years ahead of it's time.

When I first booted up Half-Life 2, I was blown away. The graphics looked stunning, and the G-man sequence was practically psychedelic. It felt as if I was Gordon Freeman, which was great. The Next few missions were damn fun, and it kept the first person tradition nicely. But when you get to Black Mesa East, and receive the gravity gun, it all changes. The gravity gun is definitely one of the most innovative weapons in gaming, even if it was kinda stolen from doom.
The plot of the game was great. Valve didn't really elaborate on much, and most of my knowledge of the combine is actually from Wikipedia. But this added to the immersion. It made you feel like you had woken up from stasis and din't know what had happened the least few years. The only part of Half-Life 2 that I didn't like was the final boss battle. It wasn't really that great of a mechanic and the fight itself takes less than 30 seconds. It isn't very rewarding either, all you get is another G-man sequence.
But, this game is far superior to most in production tady, and so, makes it also 6 years ahead of it's time.

Both the episodes were amazing. They developed greatly on Alyx as a character, and it sort of made me feel for her. In the train in episode one, when the Stalker falls on her, I thought I was stuck, and she was crying out for help until another scripted sequence started. By the time I figured it out I felt so guilty about doing that to Alyx. You can't really get that in a video game.

Episode 2 was great. I loved the addition of the hunter enemy. Although challenging they were great fun to fight. The acid Antlion was also a great addition.

The mysteries:

Who is the g-man? What do the things he says mean? Where does Aperture Science and the Borrealis fit in?
All of these questions are yet to be answered, and may never be...

But I have a few theories. When the Gman says 'The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world' Gordon = Right man (we all figured that out) but stasis = wrong place. If Gordon was in stasis, not doing anything, then he would be in a wrong place.

The gman's identity is a tricky one. There isn't really that much evidence, so having theories is hard. But feel free to post what you like here.

So I guess thats Half-Life, some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

Captain Beefcake on "Fancy Pants for iPod!"

Captain Beefcake — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 21:33:09 +0000

This will probably be ignored because of what a stupid idea it is, but it would be awesome if fancy pants came out for ipod. If it's possible imagine world 3 for the iPod Touch! The controls could work with tilt for movement and tapping the screen to jump. I know nothing about code, programming or anything that involves numbers so I have no idea how easy or hard this might be, that being said though, a fancy pants app would make me so happy.

tell me what you think, or just tell me that I'm stupid
I don't care
