I love this stuff:

Just listen to the voices!!
This was directed by Ted Avery, who I believe also did a hilarious cartoon parody short (again with the wolf) of the movie “To Have and Have Not” (one of my favorites; the style and smoothness in this movie is outrageous) called “Bacall to Arms”. Sadly, I couldn’t find Bacall to Arms for viewing on the web.
Even when they used to play old Looney Tune & MGM cartoon reruns, they never played stuff like this.

GP2X game

Nomis 0.5
Nomis Screenshot

A simple memory/pattern game written in C with the SDL libraries and Karl Bartel’s SFont code for the bitmap font drawing routines. Watch the computer choose a sequence of button presses, then repeat the pattern using the A B Y X buttons. So far I couldn’t do more than 15 steps.

Note to any blind GP2X gamers: Press Y for dog barking, B for honking, X for laser, and A for the hand clap.

The source code is included for educational purposes (i.e. how to write messy code). This program helped me get into GP2X development.

INSTALLATION:
Copy the Nomis folder to anywhere on your SD Card. All artwork and wav files must be in the same folder as Nomis.gpe.

BUTTON CONFIGURATION:
Start – Start Game
Select – Quit Game

A, B, Y, and X activate the colored buttons.

What Have I been watching?

Here is my Netflix rental list from the past 90 days (these are movies that I watched). I’ve enjoyed every one of these movies (spare maybe 2), and I wonder why that is. Have I been very careful when selecting? Or have I just been lucky? I think maybe it is because I’ve watched each one alone — therefore the movie becomes more immersive. Furthermore, when the movie is over and you’re reminded of the reality that you live in, you wish the movie hadn’t ended. I guess this is how I decide if a movie is good or not.

Giovanni Ribisi

Wow. I am really in awe of Giovanni Ribisi’s powerful performances in 2000′s The Gift from Paramount Studios. I was so blown away by his acting abilities that I’ve provided two short clips to view, which I hope you will enjoy. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and I highly recommend renting it.
Hopefully these videos can maybe inspire someone, or maybe spark creativity in one’s own life. Let me know what you think!
