Random Terrain's Tetraternarium

Now I can really get back to work!

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 04 February 2012 · 71 views

The nice table I got that rolls up over my La-Z-Boy recliner is a great help, but the size of the recliner has me too far away from my 24 inch monitor, so I've been using the zoom feature in my browser to read most of the time (even...

Thanks to Amazon I can get back to work

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 12 January 2012 · 198 views

Some time after 2007 (I don't remember what year), I was given a recliner. I wanted to use the recliner as a computer chair, so I took a leaf that wasn't being used from an old drop-leaf kitchen table, attached two pieces of wood to the sides that were a little taller than the arms of the recliner, then put casters on the bottom to make a...

I'm no longer semi-poor

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 15 October 2011 · 182 views

Although I don't know how long it will last, now I won't have to desperately look for things to sell for food money in the middle of the month and I won't have to choose between supplements and food. I'll also be able to buy a new Xbox 360 game every month if I want to.

I'm not rich, as Americans define it, but I can now buy food that I like...

Seaweed Assault is Almost Finished

Posted by Random Terrain, in batari_Basic_(Atari_2600) 05 October 2011 · 72 views

Once I get some more feedback and make little recommended changes here and there, then add an Easter egg of some kind, the game should be ready to put...

VbB Music and Sound Editor Happiness

Posted by Random Terrain, in batari_Basic_(Atari_2600) 17 September 2011 · 166 views

It might sound silly, but I thought I'd mention that the Music and Sound Editor is making me happy today.

I've been working on some new sound effects and I was thinking that it's so much easier and more fun thanks to...

Seaweed Assault: The Sticky Stays

Posted by Random Terrain, in batari_Basic_(Atari_2600) 05 September 2011 · 63 views

I've been playing around with making the seaweed less 'sticky' when players get themselves into tight situations.

One version I tried decreases the health bar by one notch and kicks the player out of the seaweed. If there is a long line of seaweed, the player could potentially get knocked through the line of seaweed (across the whole...

Seaweed Assault: Game Over Animation

Posted by Random Terrain, in batari_Basic_(Atari_2600) 05 September 2011 · 73 views

I animated the Game Over message so it would match the underwater theme of the game. You can try the .bin file here if you want:

[font="Verdana"]It seems like I have crawled out of the fog enough to get a game finished. I was starting to get there with Seaweed Assault, but there were still things about bB I wasn't clear about. Now that I've spent more time working on...

Whey looks like pus and smells like vomit

Health

I read this back in the late 1980s, but it seems a lot of people still think that whey is a health food. The following Fit For Life II text is from the link below, but I fixed some errors they had in their blog...

DickNixonArisen and his Quest for the R Word

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 30 July 2011 · 76 views

DickNixonArisen wanted to keep this public so here it is. He was trying to take my post out of context and make it all about rape. Well, here is the full story.

It Must be Lung Trouble Season

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 24 June 2011 · 50 views

I read a status update not that many days ago about an AtariAge member who had a problem with one of his lungs that was bad enough that he needed to go to the hospital. The thing that happened to me yesterday while mowing wasn't that bad. It was just weird.

Now that I have a mask to wear when I mow, I haven't been getting horrible allergy...

Batman: Arkham Asylum (Nocturnal Hunter Challenge 0:43.12)

Posted by Random Terrain, in Xbox 360 03 June 2011 · 203 views

I downloaded the free Insane Night Map Pack and have been playing the Nocturnal Hunter challenge off and on for a week or two. I had a hard time finishing it in under 2 minutes, then got it down to a little over 1 minute, then I got lucky a couple of days ago and finished it in 0:43.12 seconds.

'Gutteral' Woodpecker

Posted by Random Terrain, in Personal_Stuff 26 April 2011 · 61 views

Seems like every spring for the past few years, a woodpecker has been drumming on the gutter at the corner of the house. It looked like a form of communication to me, but I wasn't sure. I finally got around to looking it up today:

Bad News Everyone: My Brain is Not Going to Explode

Went to the doctor today and he said there's nothing to worry about. The squeezing feeling and headache that isn't quite a headache isn't caused by brain swelling. He said it's post-traumatic headache.
