Capture The Flag

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:18:33 PDT

I think I'm going to make a spiritual sequel to Richard Carr's sweet game, Capture the Flag.

Here's an awesome review of Capture the Flag.

"Capture the Flag: Awesome "Lemmings" like game with really smooth
animation that mimics the popular outdoor game of the same name. This
is a turn-based game but the mouse control and animation are
outstanding. Balance your tactics and control your players wisely in
this soon-to-become-a-favorite game."
****** SHAREWARE MAGAZINE (March/April 1993) ******

The only thing "Lemmings" like about Capture The Flag is that it has graphics and runs on a computer.

I hope my version is compared to greats like Monopoly Tycoon and Space Quest IV

I knew it!

(10:42:11 PM) echidnapi: well
(10:42:13 PM) echidnapi: I would
(10:42:16 PM) echidnapi: shoot a dog

That was a great speech Data

Old Time Cilantro

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:57:05 PDT

Man I was just doing a trip down Top Secret Blog X memory lane.

Apparently, I used to hate cilantro!?

Now I love it!

What has happened to me?

Also, I used to fight ghosts a lot! But I haven't seen any ghosts lately!

I suspect a cilantro ghost got me in my sleep.

Cerma

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:39:57 PDT

I used to read a website known only as Cerma. It was a magical website full of mystery and glory.

It revealed truths hidden and made plain great mysteries.

Like the pyramids, it is gone now. Buried away under sand and silence.

We now will shed a tear for Cerma.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Apparently unicorns cry blood :(

Gross!

My zombies bleed now.

If you shoot the heads off they wander aimlessly.

Spooky! Scary!

More Zombies

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:49:06 PDT

Now zombies chase around a guy who can shoot at them. Parts fall off. Scary!

ZOMBIES

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:24:47 PDT

Right now my screen is full of rotating, animated pixel zombies!

What's a good name for a zombie game?

Make sure you Google it first, cause all the good ones are taken.

Run! Jump! Forever! Details

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:50:08 PDT

Hey!

I'm done with my game! Mainly cause I'm sick of it.

Anyway. You can get the alpha at this uniform resource locator.

If it runs like junk or doesn't work let me know. If your computer is old it probably will run like junk.

Sorry!

Oh No!

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:35:10 PDT

My laundry machine got a twitter account. Which is cool, but leads one to wonder when Nate Hogan will get one.

I can't seem to sit still long enough to write a blog post any more, but I'll try anyway.

Let's see... I got back from MaxFunCon yesterdayish. Which was awesome. And worthy of me writing a sort of expose (or xPose depending on your spelling prefs).

Here's a picture of a llama.

Two llamas actually.

I saw a bunch of cool people at the MaxFunCon. Some of them were even internet famous.

Time for work. Later pals.

(09:36:49 PM) thenmattfsays: it's like
(09:36:53 PM) echidnapi: like, if he didn't say mal from firefly
(09:36:57 PM) echidnapi: it wouldn't be his worst comic
(09:36:59 PM) thenmattfsays: premise, beat, premise, premise
(09:37:09 PM) thenmattfsays: and I was joking
(09:37:27 PM) thenmattfsays: when I said it was good when he said "mal from firefly"
(09:37:36 PM) thenmattfsays: I know who nathan fillion is
(09:37:38 PM) echidnapi: haha
(09:37:40 PM) echidnapi: right

(09:38:08 PM) echidnapi: is the person saying that
(09:38:08 PM) thenmattfsays: yeah
(09:38:15 PM) thenmattfsays: I could see the person saying that
(09:38:15 PM) echidnapi: or is that meta talk
(09:38:25 PM) thenmattfsays: but that assumes the boyfriend is kind of not really into firefly
(09:38:27 PM) thenmattfsays: which is unlikely
(09:38:30 PM) echidnapi: also
(09:38:33 PM) echidnapi: with parenthesis
(09:38:33 PM) thenmattfsays: cause the boyfriend is randall

Week in Review 4/26 - 5/3

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Sun, 03 May 2009 17:39:29 PDT

Wow. This week was nuts. Saw Radiolab! Fixed a template! Just crazy.

Not much project progress, but what can you do?

Mark says he's working on the last xPose episode, and we're recording a new one tomorrow.

Oh and @cockerham wins twitter this week.

The Rasters!

mattfister@gmail.com (Matt Fister, Mark Cerritelli, Nate Hogan) — Sun, 03 May 2009 17:25:32 PDT

It looks like CMU finally took down my college page, which I thought would persist in perpetuity. This of course slaughtered my custom layout. Do not fear, reader, we will add new rasters post-haste.

Update 5/2 - Look rasters! Just like on twitter.
Update 2 - 5/3 - ~~Still working on this... Anyone a CSS master? I'll pay you $20 if you fix this for me.~~
Update 3 - 5/3 - Ok. Looks more solid now. Leave your thoughts.

Until then:
I always love a good Boy on A Stick And Slither
