Multimedia Project

June 28, 2009

My coy just assigned me to a multimedia project involving Flash. It is to [b]interactively[/b] store pictures and videos of the upcoming NDP. I don’t know if I’m going to succeed; it’s been like 3 years since I touched Flash (and back then it was ActionScript 2, now it’s ActionScript 3), and around 2 years since I even touched programming in general. I find it a little hard thinking along the logics of a programmer right now, but I’ll try nonetheless. Actionscript 3 seemed to be able to process some difficult things easily, but it also means I have to relearn Flash. Take MovieClip class for example; most of its functions have been removed like loadMovie() and attachBitmap().

I’ve researched a bit here and there about what I’m expecting to do. I haven’t touch XML loading before in my life but I always thought it is very useful, so I’m probably going to do it.

Other than that, what stops me is only my incompetency due to the long break I had from programming.

I hope we can do it. :p

My ign is: Setup, currently level 22 assassin.

Nice game to play when you are free imo, espacially since it’s free and I find it more fun than Maple Story.

Piano and animes

June 1, 2009

I’ve finally dusted away the…dust (what’s happening to my english) on my piano, finally finding myself the will to play every weekend. There’s a lot of songs I really want to play atm, and I must admit I’m damn fucking rusty. I don’t think I can even remember playing a complete song without mistakes (I take mistakes damn harshly).

I’ve been watching animes again. Haruhi 2, FMA: Brotherhood, and even old ones like Dokuro-chan, Gintama and Blood. K-On is a pretty nice show imo. It’s like Macross Frontier; you only watch it for the insert songs.

On the side note, there are a bunch of games I haven’t reviewed yet. I’ll just briefly go through them:

GTA:Chinatown Wars – What GTA4 could’ve been. If Gamespot rate GTA4 as a 10/10 game (which is rubbish), I would rate it a 15/10. It’s a solid game, with side missions which is not redundant to do. If you remember when I reviewed about GTA4, I mentioned that it has too much gimmicks and unnecessary side jobs that are not worth the money.

Soma Bringer – Think MMO. Actually, think D2.

Rock Band Unplugged – It’s four buttons BUT has instrument switching. The mechanics is genius. And best of all, I’m playing expert and I don’t feel it’s a mashing game (unlike DJMAX series).

On the side note, Josh Anime Music website has K-on piano sheet musics. He uploaded himself playing and they all sound very good :)
