Theme of Payon Sheet (MintJam Ver.)

Theme of Payon is one of my favourite songs in Ragnarok. It brings back such good memories of when I played RO with my friends (not as much as theme of Prontera though, since I spent hours and hours vending in Prontera and that song is like, more familiar to me than the windows XP startup sound).

MintJam, one of my favourite bands, did an awesome piano arrangement for Theme of Payon in their 2004 Ragnarok Online Arrange album. Awesome band + nice song = even nicer song.

Since this song is so good and is all in piano, I decided to transcribe it so I, as well as other people interested, would be able to play it on the piano.

Here’s link to the sheet:

And the mp3 (generated from my sheet, the original sounds way better):

Touhou Pen Inserts

I made some inserts for pen modding for those penspinners out there that are also Touhou fans. The sizes are for RSVP, but you can probably crop it a bit to fit other pens. Sorry for the lack of color on some of them — I made them with my printer’s ink in mind.

Thanks to the creators of these images, and also konachan.com for allowing me to find them easily.

Resurrection!

We haven’t updated Fobcraft for like, half a year, so it was pretty much dead. Typingmania was down because of x10hosting’s policy of suspending accounts if they’re not accessed for 2 weeks…

However, I’ve been working on a game programmed in Java. It’s a defense game based on the Korean mmorpg Ragnarok Online, and inspired by Twilight Frontier’s Patchcon. I’ve actually been working on this project since two years ago, in the process taking months-long breaks and never got much done. But I’ve decided to finish soon. In fact, it’s already playable, just that there are many bugs to fix and things to add. The sprites and effects are made by Shuvora, and he’s lazy so a lot of stuff are missing sprites which I used an Alice sprite from Patchcon.

I uploaded the game on http://fobcraft.uuuq.com/rts/ Take a look if you’re interested (it’s an Applet, runs in your browser).

So I decided to resurrect Fobcraft as a place to keep track of my progress on the game.

In other news, Shuvora uploaded Typingmania on a new host:
http://gonorrhea.l4rge.com/Typingmania/index.html

I know, the address sounds pretty inappropriate, I laughed at it when he first told me… Please give him a lesson on how to make normal-sounding domain names…

Clicky! Update

Fixed some things on Clicky:
-Fixed inaccurate interval (it’s still around 10~30ms off right now though)
-Fixed preference saving

Clicky!

Recently I was playing some browser-based game, which required a lot of clicking on almost the same spot. So I decided to fight wrist diseases by making an autoclicker to lessen the stress on my hands.

I actually made the autoclicker a while back, probably when I was playing some other game where clicking became too boring. But yesterday I decided to make something useful for once and share it with people, so I gave Clicky an interface (kinda) and made it more user friendly (hopefully), and uploaded it for people to use.

Download Clicky:

For those of you that are interested, I used Purebasic to program this. If you use Purebasic and are interested I can upload the source code too.

Leave suggestions on features that I can add or bugs that I can fix. I would appreciate it, probably.

Address change

I changed the address of the FobCraft Typingmania game to http://www.fobcraft.elementfx.com/

Transform!

Here’s a game we made for our programming class.

http://www.fobcraft.elementfx.com/transform

It’s a puzzle game, the goal is to get the grid to match the goal grid with the transformations.

Typingmania

Nobody posted for quite a while ever since school started. Nothing new happened… Well, actually, a lot of new things happened, but they’re just not exciting enough to write about.

Well, aside from these unexciting new things. I hosted Typingmania, a typing game where it’s like karaoke, except you type the songs. With Shuvora’s help, we added some songs to it, mainly anime songs.

Movie Review: Wall-e

So today my plans were to go watch this movie with a friend. Its produced by Pixar and Disney so I’d figure it would be a generic humourous/ family story with some morals to teach the kiddies. But must I say this may probably be one of the more abstract Disney/ Pixar movies. One positive thing that I would like to point out about this movie (though some of you may disagree) is the fact that there was very little dialogue in it. It is understandable since it is a story about robots but I thought that the fact Wall-e saying random noises in the beginning made the setting and plot more mysterious.

So the movie takes place in the year 2700 something like that and on Earth it is a complete garbage wasteland. The Earth has been completely unsustainable and no living things could be found on it. Humans (or something…) have mass produced robots in the year 2110 called the Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class). They did this because the earth has been completely covered in trash and humans ran out of space on the planet to hide it all under. These robots collected the trash and compacted the garbage into small squares and did it repetitively.

So yeah one day theres only 1 Wall-e’s left on Earth and he’s quite the lonely fellow. Making friends with a cockroach and collecting neat things that humans have thrown out was what hes been probably doing for 700 years. Suddenly, a gigantic white/cool spaceship landed on Earth and released a white “probe”.

Okay I shouldn’t be summarizing too much so I’ll just get to what i think about the movie.

So anyway, I think this movie sends out a not so obvious message to us viewers out there. The movie is saying that humans are lazy people! For our laziness the Earth will one day really be a total trash can and we will be forced to live in spaceships (LOL). And after we will all gain super amounts of weight and be unable to walk! Well… the way the humans in this movie were lazying around made it look fun but it eventually got gross.

This robot was pretty cool and well designed. The animators from Apple made this movie and I guess the whiteness of it shows that its their “signature”.

That’s Wall-e right there on the left. Okay yes it does look pretty shitty but aren’t the best love stories between 2 opposite people?
