I've been working on an HTML5 game for a year ( http://ektomarch.com/games ) with Chrome as my primary development target. When it launched, I'd get about 1 hour of battery life on a full charge while testing. Now, however, I'm getting abou

Most people seem to have bigger issues with getting out of work/school and going back in the dark. Leaving work at night is just depressing because you have the feeling of no free time, whereas it doesn't matter in the morning because you'r

People tend to focus on characters instead of directions. Since the male was the first person I controlled, it was natural that I kept on using the arrow keys to control him and I didn't even take a second to thing about it. Nobody would ex

This is the biggest non-issue in any game ever. I can't even imagine how anybody's first thought would be "how DARE the man be directly controlled by the arrow keys instead of the woman." I've made games for my girlfriend several times, wit

Here's a preview of the HTML5 game I've been slowly working on for a year: http://ektomarch.com/games/ I already have 50 levels made, most of which are the size of large Super Metroid rooms, and ~60 enemy types. I'm just overwhelmed with

I was getting terrible headaches for a few months before I tried turning my screen brightness down around 20%. Daily headaches instantly became monthly headaches. Getting new glasses might be the solution for some people, but for others, it

This all involves someone that's willing to put up with you enough to teach you how to be a social person. Some people just don't like being around others, some fear others, and some are simply shunned by society and never had a chance. Few

I said it last time and I'll say it again: I don't get why people are impressed by these demos. This game moves too quickly, there's no built-in restart ability, it uses alert(), and it's something easily assembled with a day's worth of jav

I don't mean to sound cocky, but I don't get why people are still impressed by simple game demos in javascript. I've been working on a full Metroid-like game (some very old screenshots here http://ektomarch.com/games/ ) that'll have ~100 r

Humidity's usually a bigger problem that the actual temperature. 100 degrees in drier parts of the southern US doesn't feel anywhere near as bad as 85 degrees in rainy towns up north.

I really don't get the connections you're making. Not at all. Sure, it was pointless to put the slide up there, but nobody was physically, mentally, or emotionally harmed aside from unrelated third parties that are overly-sensitive to insul

>Rape and abuse of women as a plot point? Lost me there. You were never the target market of the series. Duke Nukem 3D's job was to parody 80s and early 90s action movies and it's not meant to be taken seriously in any way; Forever is,

It's an artistic medium. While not speech, it's a means of expression. If a person wants to distribute recordings of consenting adults having sex to those that want to see it, I see no point in criminalizing them for doing so. It's infringi

I think the issue that most people have is that people who coincidentally develop an algorithm that serves the same functionality or operates in a similar way as your algorithm will be sued to hell, even though they'd never even heard of th

When you consider many of the people that write such bills, they'd probably say the problem lies with the child. They probably didn't even think of such a consequence, but I doubt they'd care if you told them.

I once had a dysfunctional iMac that sounded like a vacuum and it was unbearable. Maybe for some people it doesn't matter, but I can't say I like having the sound of a vacuum blasting just a foot away. I returned it to Apple the next day an

I can understand wanting to build a reliable system, but hard drives are the most unreliable part of any modern PC. A user should have the right to replace them in the event of failure or if it's simply not enough storage at a later point.

It is at that early in the morning. Many would probably be out getting last minute supplies for dinner before heading off to church. If not that, then sleeping or working.

$29 is enough for a week's worth of meals from the nearby Chinese restaurant. When I have to choose between entertainment and food, I'm going with the latter; some other people will get the food and acquire the entertainment through "cheape

I think any NES game that was good "back in the day" holds up even now. Gameplay and graphics had a nice simplicity that holds up today, unlike most pre-NES games. It was a period when games were just starting to become what they are now, w

A major problem is testing new teaching methods in classrooms is risky and oftentimes extremely expensive, and much more so if the method doesn't quite worked out as planned. Instead of taking such a risk, school districts would more than l
