GJB's Blog no more

I have found out, the hard way, that making a blog and keeping it is hard. I just don't have the time to post regularly, I don't have any viewers, and I don't want to keep writing every day to a not-real audience. In it's sort life, GJB's Blog it didn't even get a comment. this probably won't even get seen. this is the last post GJB's Blog will ever see.

Good by my imagery viewers.

sorry I don't have a post

I am sorry about not posting yesterday or today, but I was working on my JAVA end of the semester final project. It is a Tennis For Two like game in a applet. I had a good post planned, a 2 min summary of a hour video about, well I will not tell you so you will have to wait for maybe tomorrow to read about it. again, sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the fish

NES built better than X-box 360 Games!!! (sort of)

it is a known fact that cartage video games last longer than their disk counterpart. these guys take it to the extreme. they test to sea how much abuse a Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt game can take. they froze them, dunked them in alcohol, dropped 2 stories, and even buried in snow for a couple of days. These cartages have gone above and beyond the call of duty, and out of all of them, only one failed. This proves that NES games will last longer than X-box 360 games. I would like to see disc games that are able to withstand that much neglect.

Play Games in School

Most schools use web content filters to, well, filter what kids get exposed to. They usually block flash games, which is very annoying, and usually when a unblocked site is found, they put it on the no visit list within a weak. But now with the help of Google Sites, you can create a game site just for yourself, because the filter only catches on when allot of kids visit the same site. everyone can create their own website with games loaded on it and not have the IT people wise up about it.

In 5 minuts, I created gjbgamesclub, which has Spliter 2 on it, a physics game. what you need to do is create a website with Google Sites on a computer at home, with a name that doesn't give you away as the creator (unlike mine) and dosn't use games or entertainment in the title (unlike mine) so their content filter ignores your website, and so you can't be busted for making your site.

Once you have created it, you can change the looks, I didn't, and then you can add games.

Then you need to find the html "codes" to include games. Some game sites have codes so you can put their games on your sites. Physics Games is where I found Spliter 2. you copy the code, and in Google Sites, edit you page and click on edit html. paste your code on the text box that pops up, save it and enjoy your website. I suggest that you don't add more than one game on a page, so you don't have to load 10 games to play one of them.

Don't share your website, but tell other people to make their own, so your website doesn't become blocked.

I hope this was useful

Change Background on Windows 7 Starter

Windows 7 Starter was purposely designed with the inability to change backgrounds. Starter comes standard on most Netbooks, including the one I am using right now. I have tried everything to change the background with no success, untill I found this guide. it is an easy way to change the background. all you have to do is install and run Stardock MyColors and change the theme. You have to change the theme because the 7 Aero theme is what is stopping you from changing the background. There are 4 choices of themes. I used AMD Game because the red matches my background. if you want it to be like normal 7, there is diamond. The original Tutorial uses Think Green, and the final theme is quest. once you choose your theme, just click download and then install. Then just run, and install a the theme you picked ( it should take a while). After that, close out of Stardock and put the picture file that you want as your background in sample pictures, run stardock again, go to wallpapers, and apply your background. That is all there is to changing the background on 7 Starter. I hope you find this as useful as I did.

Flash Drive Hacks

Flash Drives. Everyone has at least one. They come in different shapes and colors, and some people take apart theirs and put it in something unusual. Here 5 of those flash drives that had their case replaced and their warranty voided, with directions so you can do the same.

5. Bic Lighter

Very cool looking but you can't take it into school...

4. Axe Deodorant Spray

No one would expect a flash drive there. great for hiding paswords

3. Lego Brick

Ignoring LEGO Mind storm, this is probably the smartest brick there is.

2. Hot Wheels Car

fast looking flash drive.

1. Hard Drive

a fake usb hard drive. uses 4 flash drives. Very awesome looking.

RPG pen and paper dying?

This last summer, I worked at a Cub Scout camp, and some of my friends there introduced me into the world of pen and paper RPGing. RPGing, for those that don't know, stands for Role Playing Game. it is a game where you don't compete against each other, but go together on quest for riches, fame, and glory. Wikipedia has a good article on what is RPGing. but Summer changed into Fall. Fall changed into Winter. Winter changed back into Summer, and Sumer gave Winter and Fall a miss and went straight into Spring (got to love Monty Python...)

and when I went back to school this year, I tried to start a group and failed miserably. it made me start to wonder if pen and paper RPGs are dying out and being replaced by MMORPGs (Massive Multilayer Role Playing Game). or at least dramatically altered to be like MMORPGs (D&D 4th) I like pen and paper because there is a social element that is not there in MMORPGs, but then again, MMORPGs can be more complex because a computer's processor does all of the rules and random numbers, no learning battle systems, no character sheets. I would like to know what you, the reader, thinks about PnP RPGs v. MMORPGs whitch one is better? whitch one do you play more? and whitch one will outlast the other?

Bonus Question 1: what Pen and paper RPG system do you play most?

Bonus Question 2: what MMORPG do you play most?

COD Zombies for Iphone Glitches

No game is impervious to glitches, exspecially if it is a game that pushes the limits of the platform. COD: Zombies is no different. I have found 2 or 3 usefull glitches for the Iphone incarnation of the COD zombies mini game.

note: This is for the latest version as of when this was posted, after they fixed the raygun.

1. Some wierd things can hapen as the horde of the undead climb through the windows. They are invincble to flame thrower damage, they can climb through a window as you are repairing it, and I once made a crawling zombie float by grenading it at the right time as it was climbing in. I haven't found anything usefull with these window glitches, but i just thought i'd mention them.

2. It is possible to snipe zombies at a distance with the flamethrower. Yes, you heard me, with the flamethrower. you can toast zombies from across the room. First you need to zoom in and aim at a zombie, and instead of holding down the fire button, tap it very fast. on the second or third tap, the zombie will have light on fire even though it never touched any flames. You will not get points for hitting him, but you do when the zombie takes damage from the flames. Very useful in early rounds, not the later rounds.

3. On you tube, there are 2 or 3 videos showing how to glitch-hide yourself from zombies an area by the random box. I have never been able to pull it of, but i thought you would like to know this. Very hard to get to work, but if you could, it looks very useful. Here is a video

4. This glitch no one knows how to duplicate, but it is very interesting, an invincible zombie that floats and can't die. Video

5. With this glitch, you can ride other players backs in multilayer. if you die and you cycle through each view when you re spawn, you will ride the back of the person that you were viewing, but the only thing you can do is throw grenades. Video

that is all of the good glitches that i found from playing or from Youtube. Thanks for reading my first post!
