Wot I Fink: Modesty and Maturity

NOTE: For this episode, when I say "Modesty", I mean it in a professional, clean sense. People being modest, for example, "I'm terrible at singing" when they actually are really talented, is totally acceptable to me, and supposedly I am very modest in that sense of the word in real life. I wanted to start off talking about women in gaming, but Tracker pulled this to my attention. I am completely with TheDoctor. I am absolutely shocked that somebody is offended by so much as a

Kids Shouldn't Swear, So Here's A List

Here, for you guys, I have the full list of words that LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga bans. This comes as I start wrapping up my modifications for the game. This list is hidden in the spoiler, and it does contain some f***ing amazing words. Please keep kids away from here. Fun?

RRURadio Changelist 1: RRURv2

Welcome. Please, make yourself comfortable. For once, you may take off your pants if you feel life it. Let's be calm and relaxed. So, as you may or may not be aware, I recently just finished school, and have one more exam left. Because of this, and the fact I will not be attending schoolies because of some passport issues, I will be dedicating my time to updating the radio. Previous versions of the radio from LZ and I were just a big list of songs, with new music added to the end. There was

Fourth-ward March.

I totally didn't even plan that pun 4 years ago. So. 27/03/2014. Heh. Never really thought I'd make it this far without dying by train, being sent to a loony bin or wasting away on alcohol. And while those things have all been pretty close to happening, here I still am. The Austrexican Lives. The Pants Enforcers reigns supreme. 4 years ago, I found a little email in my old High School email account. Supposedly, I had seen RRU at some stage, and signed up for a newsletter...without

Wot I Fink: Games shouldn't be called "Games"?

We're only three episodes in, but I'm sure everybody is already clambering over each other to slit my throat. Nonetheless, opinions must be shared. There's plenty on my mind, and I want to share it all. That said, looking over this argument, my brain is a little too scattered to note if I've forgotten anything, which I probably have. There will probably be a follow up article some other time. I'm quite annoying by casual gamers . That is probably the biggest understatement ever heard by any

Seaborgium's Mobile Dilemma.

I'm not going to discuss the recent personal issues between members. Instead, I'm going to discuss a certain post. It's written informally for audiences who don't spend hours a day reading through encyclopedias and aspire to become verbally overwrought. I prefer this style of writing as it makes the article more interesting and personal. AAA developers/publishers like to play it safe. They are in business to make money, and they don't like spending money without some acknowle

I Need Help Conducting Research On Endings

One of the few things I'm terrible at () is ending a story. It's difficult, trying to think of some amazing way to conclude what could have taken a person hours, even days to read, play or watch. So, I was hoping for some input here. I want to know your favourite endings and your least favourite endings from anything. Movies, books, games, TV Shows, you name it. Hell, list more than one if you can. This research will help me a lot, so thank you.

Wot I Fink: Family

I never thought I'd have to do this kind of entry, but my feelings on the matter are quite high, and I think I have some explaining to do. I'm sorry in advance. Hopefully it will never come to this again. I remember first joining RRU. It was just before dinner on a school night, all the way back in 2010. I had just gone through my emails (this was my second email account) on my brothers computer in his room (already showing who would be the richer one), and found a brand new RRU newsletter

Can We Talk About How Terrible Java Is?

It's a useless pile of s***. The f****ing thing won't work correctly on my sister's machine, and barely runs correctly on mine. The main problem on my sister's machine is that it keeps deleting the core .exe files. Java.exe, javaw.exe and a few others are constantly deleted anytime you try to run a Java app after installation. Putting copies of these files in the folder doesn't help, since it deletes them too. Completely cleaning my computer of everything Java related; every folder, registr

Rru Radio: Come And Get Some!

Hey guys! So, as you may have noticed, I have been privileged with the ability to be the new RRU DJ-guy, and as such, you can now click the "Radio" button above to listen to all your favourite tunes! I've restored almost 90% of all the tracks listed in the last two Radio Request topics, as well as add some of my own stuff to keep you all interested...however, I want more suggestions. As soon as the Radio gets to a reasonable size, I'll shuffle around all the songs every Friday, as well as add a

McJobless' New Computer - Part 1: The Purchase

I'm hoping there will be only 2 parts to this: This one, and then the install where everything works great. Let's not think too hard about the future, though. Here's what I got: Total price with handling and postage is about $2800. That's a lot better than what I was originally thinking. I wanted Windows 8.1 Pro and an EVA GTX 980, but both were out of stock. I also decided that the 4790 was much better value than the 4790K, and the only other ones available were the 5th Gen

Wot I Fink: Video Gaming

Original post with comments that clarify some of what I've said: http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/dg0Pw/can-we-please-have-another-industry-crash/page/31337 I don't like the gaming industry as it is. Everything sucks. AAA is less about trying to take chances on making something incredible and more about pleasing the lowest common denominator, of which many screech from the tops of mountains, belittling those who actually have a valid opinion. Publishers no longer are PUBLISHERS but instead f

I really don't understand this.

I got this spam message the other day, and I was hoping it would be something at least barely intelligeable for me to pick on...I was lied to. Simply called "The best DISH offer EVER!!!", it reads: If you can read that, I'll buy you a muffin.

Post your LEGO Libraries - McJobless' Collection

I was going through, organising my room for college, and I found a lot of LEGO stuff that wasn't in my LEGO bag, so I decided to collect it all and take some pictures. Because of that, I think it's time we shared our LEGO collections for the fun of it, and so we all know who has what. Because I expect a lot of images and text, let's keep these to blog posts. I'll first post pictures of my actual LEGO stuff as it stands, and then post some screenies of what my entire set-listing should

30 Things You Should Never Do In An Elevator

Make race car noises when anyone gets on or off. Blow your nose and offer to show the contents of yor Kleenex to other passengers. Grimace painfully while smaking your forehead and muttering "Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP!" (I was the subject) Sell Girl Scout Cookies. (I was the subject) Perform a funeral service in the elevator. Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off. (I was the subject) One word. Flatulence! Do Tai Chi ex

Wot I Fink: Copying

*sigh* Peer pressure. I'm going to be honest. A certain part of me has been both laughing and cringing at the recent influx of members who have taken to the blogs to express their feelings after certain events transpired (and a lot of me didn't want to acknowledge it with a Wot I Fink). However, it has been interesting to see everybody's thoughts laid out before I get to writing a Wot I Fink on the subject, and because of that, it's given me a lot more things to consider and talk about.

QW: Why Legend of Zelda is already one of my favourite games.

This is a entry in my "Quick-Write" series. Basically, just some minor thoughts quickly thrown into a blog entry as a kind of progress update on how I'm doing. Anyone familiar to Creative Theory on RRU or the Skype chats would know that Jamesster's been doing a lot of LoZ stuff recently. He found that brilliant essay, and recently he's been playing the first game for numerous reasons. As I'm sure anybody from RRU knows, once one popular member does something, it quickly becomes infec

Wot I Fink: Stories in Gaming

One of the biggest problems I come across in gaming is story. It's a tricky element to get right, and people are both going to want it or going to hate it. The biggest problem is that if you go for a story, you either have to keep it basic as a way to establish why the player is in the game in first place (I call this the "Call to Suspension" trick), or it becomes a core part of the game (I'd call this an "Experience", as you would have noted in a previous Wot I Fink). There's going to be a

Life is an interesting beast.

"And remember, the universe has a wonderful sense of humor. The trick is learning how to take a joke." ~ Orvus, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time Life is one of those insane things that happens. It's like, there for years, and then it's taken away. It's pretty crazy. And the older I get, the more I look on it and think about what life really, truly is. See, I think people have been asking the wrong questions for years. There's no one singular purpose to life, because every

My Gaming History - Part 1 - The Prophetic PS1

This is something I've wanted to do for a long while, but I horrible at concentration. I can't really vouch for the validity of the order I finished these games in or bought them in, but that's not really the point. The point is the lessons I've learned because of what I have learned. As such, it's very likely there's going to be a LOT of games I won't list, because of shoddy memory, or because they just weren't important enough. Also, I had to remove images for most of the cases.
