![Preview of the game I'm working on](/static/media/user/generic-user.png)
IGN has released a preview of the game I'm working on: Need For Speed: The Run on 3DS. Obviously I can't say an awful lot about it, but the preview doesn't do it justice IMO - some of the tracks are much prettier than the screenshots there, and it doesn't cover some fun things like heroic stunts (W…

Last update was in January, whoops.
I've been pretty busy recently, been buying a 3 bedroom flat in Glasgow which is a lot more stressful than I thought it'd be.
I finally moved my stuff in at the start of June, after having fun trying to get a certificate of building works for the work that the prev…

[size="5"]FAQ
Well, I'm working on the new DirectX and XNA forum FAQ. The Previous FAQ is pretty massive, and out of date - although I suppose it needs to be quite wordy to cover all of the DirectX API...
I'm also beginning to realise how out of date I am, having never used Direct3D 10, 10.1 or 11, o…

I'm not dead! Again.
I've not been doing an awful lot of my own stuff recently, I've been particularly busy with work stuff - as usual.
We got one of our projects (On two platforms) canned unfortunately, especially since we'd been working on it for over a year. I can't say much more about it for obvi…

<3 Pandy
so there was this ad on gumtree
for a fireplace
we emailed them and asked for a picture of somebody standing next to the fireplace
and they sent us this kind of miserable looking woman standing next to it looking sad and wistful
so we wrote a song about it and sent it to them

I got into work this morning to a lovely BIOS message proclaiming "SATA0: NO DISK FOUND. PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE", followed by "No boot disk found". Which is bad, since there most certainly is a disk there. I took the hard drive out and shook it a little, then got "DISK READ ERROR". I took the drive o…

I think it's high time I start actually making worthwhile journal posts. But this isn't going to be one of them.
My laptop AC adapter has bitten the dust. I don't really use my laptop much any more (It gets used for maybe an hour a month on average at the moment), and a new charger is going to be ?5…

I'm not dead! Just being useless at doing... anything.
Things:
I've an MVP for another year (DirectX/XNA). Hooray!
I've rebuilt my server with "proper" components in it, so I now have a reasonable second PC. The graphics card is still crap, but I don't use it for gaming, so never mind. I also installe…

Time for an update...
I got a new phone; the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. It's quite nice and snazzy, but has lots of annoyances - although that might just be because it's my first phone.
Things that annoy me so far:
There's no manual. It comes with a sheet of folded A3 paper telling you how to switch th…

1. More TM Wii Screenshots!
2. I discovered that several MP3 search engines have crawled my site and found 5 MP3s that some of my friends had uploaded to my forums (Which I wasn't aware of). The MP3s weren't hotlinked from anywhere I could find, and the only reference to them was in a post in my for…

Hooray; a use for my Microsoft source code access: Link to thread. At the time of writing, it seems that the DX runtimes are ignoring the number of mip levels parameter to CreateVolumeTexture(). I couldn't find the source to any D3D functions in the Windows source code, but there is what seems to b…

Time for an update I feel...
I've still not done any more on the next tutorial, I did bring my laptop with me on the bus for a couple of days, but the bus was packed, and I need a free seat next to me to be able to type, so I didn't get anything done :(
I'm not sure if I want to do shadows or stencil…

I'm still alive!
I didn't make it into work on the 23rd Dec, along with most of the other people in the studio, due to excessive snow. I had to dodge a car coming downhill sideways towards me, and had to give someone a push because they got stuck in snow trying to avoid someone else driving towards …

I've not done anything to my tutorial for a couple of weeks now due to lack of motivation caused by "hilarity" at work. I will get on with it at some point...
I saw Grendel on Wednesday in Glasgow, who were a bit "meh" unfortunately. Their old stuff sounded totally wrong in the vocals department, bu…

Ok, I have my laptop with me, and I've started on tutorial 6 on the way into work this morning (In between screams and clutching the seat due to the terrifying lunatic bus driver).
Tutorial 6 will cover X meshes, wrapped in a Mesh class. I plan on covering vertex shaders as soon as possible, but I'm…

Due to some ego-boosting posts Here and Here, I'm going to get back to writing my DirectX tutorials fairly soon. I can't really remember where I left off, and I'm not sure offhand if I have an article in progress on my laptop, but I'll have a look.
So, if anyone has any suggestions for beginner / in…

It's that time of year again. This is about a third to half of the fireworks we're setting off this year:
The 4 big cylinders at the back ("Ultimate Fear's") and the long thin tubes at the bottom are ones I bought last year (I seem to recall it was ~GBP150 in total), and the two smoke bombs are ones…
