    Digg and Megabytes

    Flash News, Photography

    Had an interesting day yesterday.  The game This is the Only Level managed to get popular on Digg so there was a huge influx of walkthrough video traffic reported from the walkthrough creator, Tasselfoot.

    For some reason Armor Games is near impossible to get the article Dugg on, I’m not sure why.  It got Dugg on another website.

    I went running today at lunch with Dan from the Armor Games office but got super tired from the super hot temperatures outside.  I had to walk home even though it was only a 4-5 mile run.

    My computer is down to about 11 MB in hard drive space.  It’s true, and it’s sad for me because I can’t take pictures with it being so low.  I am going to either have to crack down and get a new computer (the fun, more expensive option) or find a way to use an external hard drive for the photo editing (the less fun, much slower option).  I have a Macbook so its not the easiest thing to upgrade, and I use a single Aperture database that is near 50 GB and resides as a single file.  So I might lose the home laptop for a desktop replacement and do photo editing on a proper monitor and faster computer.  I’m thinking an iMac, since Aperture is Mac only and my photo tool of choice.  Otherwise, I’m going to RAID 0 some 1 TB external hard drives and be completely impatient waiting for large files to bounce over USB 2.0 lines.

    Still working on the RPG.  Mr Fikree has managed to create some wonderful tracks.  He created the tracks for TBA++ and I look forward to listening to all the music for the game.  so far there are 10+ tracks and each is themed to the various areas of the game.

    This weekend… yes more wedding prep and possibly that computer purchase.  Carlie and I need to talk about it more before buying a new one.  On Sunday I’m doing my last long run before the big run!

    Oh and speaking of which, you might have noticed on the left side of the page a donation box.  This is for a 100 mile bike ride I am doing in October after wedding.  I’m riding from Irvine to San Diego down the California coast in two days to support MS research.  Its for a good cause and is tax deductible.  Feel free to donate or just feel free to cheer me on, or feel free to stick a pipe in my spokes and let me fly over the handle bars.  Either way I appreciate the sentiment/maltreatment.

    I’d love to donate but I have no money to give away, have fun on your ride.

    Odd how you weren’t able to digg the game under Armor, I guess that’s what happens when someone beats you to it. As for the storage, I like the raid idea, sounds fun. Too bad USB 3.0 isn’t out, it’s literally 10x faster than 2.0 and on it’s way, not sure on the exact release. I can’t wait to transfer movies in 3 seconds (as they exampled in the article I read on Tom’s Hardware). Anywho, congrats on the mass amount of diggs, one of my games will get up there one of these days.

    I’m not surprised to see This is the Only Level Dugg so much. It’s a step beyond a good game to sheer genius. Don’t be surprised if it becomes the latest net-sensation.

    Fuck Aperture. Black Mesa FTW.

  • elpenguino

    you’re far superior to that Crow Attack, Joel! you deserve that spot on Digg!

    1250 diggs, not badd at all. It’s a good game, tho; simple is always best in game design.

    iMac or Macbook Pro would be a good idea at the moment, especially with the latest release of OS X the other day.

    If you want a high speed external hard drive though, maybe firewire is the thing for you? Could save a lot of money and keep the high speeds?

    go for the new computer, if you’re impatient like I am then you’ll rage so hard waiting for the files to transfer.
    one smashed external later you’ll be buying a new computer. then again being a games developer you must have some level of patience.

    USB2.0 isn’t THAT bad, if you’re willing to wait, I only have problems with it when I’m moving like 1GB of data. But that’s just me.

    But I guess if you’re moving 50 GB it’s pretty hard.
