I am SIDETRACK! http://www.richardcoen.com Oh my God, Not my Leg! Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:43:02 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en You’re forgetting, Lindsay, that as a psychiatrist, I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first “analrapist”. My 360 has been showing signs of giving up the ghost when on at least a dozen occasions it would just freeze mid game. I tried numerous solutions to fix the problem but none of them seemed to work. I’ve tried… # a different power supply. # with hard drive. # without hard ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=46 Just so you know, there is only a 50% chance I’d eat you… Saw this on some random website and thought it was too amusing not to give it a go. 50% In other news, George A Romero’s Diary of the Dead came out in UK cinemas today. I’ve always been a fan of the zombie genre and rate the original Dawn of the ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=44 When Will I See You Again! Football Manager 2008 should come with health warnings. Government warnings exactly like the ones you get on cigarette packaging. Personally a game which sucks your life away with every passing minute should be banned, just for the sake of all mankind. I can’t stop playing it. Help me. Right time ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=42 “Let’s hug it out” It’s been a while since my last update and so I thought it was about time for another one. During my last update I was aiming to convert Wario Ball to XNA as a learning experience. That was a success in part to the XNA Creators Club tutorials which pointed ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=41 No, I describe the accused as a git. I lied, utterly and completely without remorse for my actions. Nothing I every write in these posts come to fruition and I know I’ve said time and again that this would change but to no avail. Times have changed…hopefully. Kyo Hitsu has moved across completely to XNA from OpenGL. No point ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=40 Rather hoped I’d get through the whole show, go back to work at Pratt and Sons, keep wicket for the Croydon Gentlemen, marry Doris. Made a note in my diary on the way here. Simply says: “Bugger”. I’m still here and I’m still writing these blog entries, which is more than I can say for some people I know. So what has happened since the last entry? Well to some up, nothing much interesting which I can show you. Work continues on Kyo Hitsu, the space fighter ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=39 Hey, you created me. I didn’t create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility! I’ve been very slow when it comes to updating this website and showing you the things I’m working on. Work continues on Kyu Hitsu, the name for our rather cool space shooter. I spent the last week working on particle effects so that everything looks pretty. I’ve even ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=38 Title Not Included Right, having not updated in about a month and a half I thought it was about time I actually wrote something on this bloody page. Well as you all know, (this isn’t news) the New Year has been and gone. America was ok and it was nice to have a ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=37 Hey! It’s not a good night unless you get a traffic cone! It’s the police woman’s helmet and the suspenders I don’t understand! It’s a Saturday afternoon and I’m in the office working (well currently writing this blog but trust my I was just working), what’s happening to me? Things are moving along at pace, that pace is slow, but at least I’m moving in the right direction. I’ve currently halted work on ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=36 There’s a nasty splinter on that ladder, sir. A bloke could hurt himself on that. We have officially moved into Sparkhouse as of yesterday afternoon. We carried base units and monitors across campus to our new home and today we are all feeling the pain. Monitors aren’t light and are definitely *NOT* easy to carry but all is well and good as we now have ... http://www.richardcoen.com/?p=35
