h4x   The useless ramblings of a web developer.

For a long time I’ve wanted to sit down and code a game but until now I’ve never really taken the time to learn anything about it and I’ve never had a good idea for a game. Joe has recently put together a concept for a game called Pacifist and since I’m quite keen to learn the process of creating games I’ve volunteered myself to help with the programming. A team of forum members have decided to use Microsoft’s XNA Framework to build the game which suites me since I’m much more fluent with C# than C++.

I just hope it’ll get off the ground!

A story on bit-tech.net today reveals that Manhunt 2 has been provisionally banned from sale in the UK.

Now I didn’t play the first Manhunt and I don’t really want to play the second but this is a matter of principle we’re talking about here. More and more the regulatory and governmental bodies in the UK are slowly trying to wrap it’s public in a thick layer of bubble-wrap. Even speed limits are being lowered all over the country because some people forgot how to drive safely.

I think my main point is that soon no stupid people will be able to kill themselves and those that have anger issues will no longer be able to vent there frustrations in a video game, their only escape will be to go out into the street and release upon some poor soul (and I’m not talking about water sports).
