In this particular case, about an hour and a half.
I’m sure there’s a moral in there somewhere, but other than “you apparently need to know more about how the APIs work internally than should be necessary” I can’t seem to find it.
Hey ho. Ever forward.
Every so often I get a small surge of creativity which enables me to dismantle someone else’s work and twist it to my own nefarious purpose. In the latest of this irregular series, I present: the Bioshock gamercard sig.
Uses my gamercard parser thing to dynamically update the score, and stuff. Nothing particularly special, perhaps, but I like it.
There are no good space-based real time strategy games around these days. And, well, it’s a fairly niche genre, so I suppose it’s understandable. But last week I suddenly had the urge to dig out and re-play Homeworld: Cataclysm, so after much digging through boxes of stuff, I did so. And it was just as good as the last time I played, and even prettier on my current PC than the 650MHz Celeron laptop I originally played it on.
So, if you haven’t played it, and you see it in a bargain bin, snap it up. It really is a bargain.
Stupid shaky hands. How am I supposed to drink my tea?
Opening the store at ten, but not actually opening the checkouts till eleven. Awesome. Thanks, Tesco!
