Starbound!

It’s still only in Beta, and apparently there’s more to come, but I’ve managed to put enough hours into Starbound to get top-tier armour ( aaand the most powerful crafted weapon :D ).
– I wonder whether, in absence of playing with friends, whether I’ll be putting many more hours into it. A big drive of playing Starbound for [...]

Yet More Discussion of Argument and Dogma

Computer Science has to be one of the most political areas to study as an Undergrad. (Others might use the word “religious” instead, but we mean the same thing).
It’s damn easy to get into dumb arguments over something. (Usually things like ‘which is a better tool to use’, for example).
– I think grammar offers a similar [...]

Co-op Experience of PixelJunk Monsters

Years ago I played PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe on the PSP.
So I thought it was awesome when I saw PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate released on Steam for Windows and Linux. (And Mac, but I don’t own a Mac. And I was largely using Linux at the time the game was released on Steam). PixelJunk Monsters (Let’s just call it “Monsters”?) [...]

YouTube, Statistics and Comments

Just to spout some more armchair-philosophy, I guess.
- Perhaps it’s cynical, but it’s better to try and disagree with as much as possible.
It’s really easy to say something stupid or daft in knee-jerk reaction (unless you’re not human). So hopefully, if an idea is daft enough, it won’t stand up to so much resistance of thought. [...]

BattleField 3 (and Call of Duty 4 .. and Crysis 2)

Ha. Can you tell I just finished exams?
BattleField 3 was one I picked up during one of the Humble Bundles. I’m surprised my laptop can manage to play the game; even on Low-quality graphics settings (which is below what the game auto-analysed my computer for, bah) it still looks fantastic.. Also, in terms of Single Player, (since BF3 [...]

Skyrim

So, I just spent until 2am playing Skyrim; y’know like how when an hour has passed between when you looked at the clock?
So I gotta consider “why”.
’cause Skyrim gives me doubts as to whether I enjoy playing it or not. I’m not a fantasy-genre kindof guy.
And in general Skyrim just seems a bit .. [...]

Oh, How Awful to be Young

It seems everyone always laments “Back in the day, when men were men..”, as everyone always has. (The trick is things never were?).
And I’d hate to sound like I’m saying that.
And as a young person myself, I can’t exactly say it’s awful to be young.
So the title is rather more dramatic than my point. [...]

GVim and JavaScript with TernJS

Ok. So after cross-posting the GVim and Java from my NUS blog.. YouCompleteMe not only provides awesome functionality with EClim or Jedi (for Java / Python respectively). Since it can get along with (as I understand things) Vim’s OmniComplete, then YCM works with other intelligent completion things like TernJS. TernJS, made by the same guy who did CodeMirror, does some [...]

GVim, Eclipse and Java

If you’re going to be programming in Java, you’re probably going to need some kind of autocomplete. Eclipse IDE, we pretty much all should know, comes with that advantage.
So, while Notepad++ is great, you’d certainly much rather use Eclipse for such a thing. But in the same way that Eclipse is better at this than Notepad++,
Vim [...]

A Quick Flirtation with Haskell

I decided I should investigate more programming languages, since I don’t hate Java as much as my CS peers do. (Well. Many of my CS peers don’t actually understand Java enough, and this is why they dislike it. But anyway..). One of these languages that isn’t the C/C++/Java which every CS student touches is Haskell. The wonderful Learn You a [...]
