Truth in advertising

Alright, I kinda hit a wall with the programming — weeks ago.  Something about prepackaged headers giving me syntax errors just threw me off and I haven’t really been able to get back on.  Ideally, I’m still 100% for OpenGL; but, realistically, I hate the Khronos group right now.  Khronos can suck it.  They don’t provide all of the headers you need in a convenient way, and then if you #include them in the wrong order they give you syntax errors — what the heck!  I’m not even sure how that’s POSSIBLE.

So, I hit a wall and I haven’t done jack about it.  Well, I downloaded nVidia’s OpenGL SDK, but that didn’t exactly spur me into action.  Even with nVidia’s “SDK,” things aren’t nearly as convenient as they would be with DirectX.  I’ll hand it to MS there; they can put together a package that puts everything in a single convenient place to point to.  MS messes up many things — I was forcibly reminded of this when my XBox forgot how to use it’s network adapter this morning.

Short answer, I haven’t made any progress with OpenGL and I might not get back to it.  The near-finality of that statement hurts me right in my pipe dreams, though.

Employment and the last episode of the LP

Alright, started my new job today.  Good news pretty much all around.  I’m not working Wednesday night, so the stream that I had tentatively scheduled to make-up this Wednesday at 8 pm EDT is good to go.

The finale of my manic/lethal playthrough of the DXHR beta will be shown live at 8 pm EDT this Wednesday, July 13th.

Tonight’s stream is not to be

I’m cancelling tonight’s stream. I suppose it would sound better if I said I were postponing it, but I don’t know when a good time would be to make it up. I begin a new job on Monday and don’t know yet what my hours will be and tonight is out of the question for personal matters.

Provided I don’t work next Wednesday at 8 pm EDT, I’ll tentatively plan to make up tonight’s stream then.  More later as I figure it out.

Rocket Launcher, Get!

In previous streams, usually the manic episodes, I have bemoaned the fact that I hadn’t found the rocket launcher in either of my two complete play-throughs of the leaked beta or in the LP when I got to the DRB hideout.  That time is over.  Behold:

Mental difficulties

Tonight’s regularly scheduled stream should go down at the usual time.  Unfortunately, in my excitement over finding the rocket launcher, I saved over the save slot for tonight’s game and lost last stream’s progress.  I should be able to make that up and be ready for the stream though. Also, ROCKET LAUNCHER! I’ll dedicate a post to that in a bit.

Edit: I managed to get back to where I need to be for tonight’s stream.  I’m going to go grab some dinner and then write up about getting the rocket launcher.
