Super Meat Boy - Iron Man Runs

Sun, 05 Dec 2010 18:02:07 +0100

The "Iron Man Run" in Super Meat Boy (available at Steam) is completing a whole chapter (Light World, normally 20 levels, except the last one, where there are 5 when the informations I've read are correct) without one single death allowed - which gets pretty intense in later chapters. Now that you know what an Iron Man Run is, lets get to the action: U7sRrkxF-V0 W0jm5bRcsJo Available in 720p, click here to watch the High Definition version at YouTube. not yet available...

Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:14:57 +0100

Ich bin gerade auf der Frontpage von Amazon.de auf eine interessante Möglichkeit gestoßen, Produkte seines täglichen Bedarfs, welche man eh immer wieder benötigt, per Abo (Intervalle in 1, 2, 3 und 6 Monaten) zum einen 10% günstiger und zum anderen grundsätzlich versandkostenfrei bestellen zu können.

iPhone Springboard Wallpaper incl. Template

Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:31:54 +0100

I really like the idea of putting the app icons onto virtual shelves, just like the iBook app by Apple does this with the books, so I created a rather extensive template file with several layers: top bar: off, glassy or dark wood-like, can be colored by a mask layer shelf: off, glassy or dark wood-like, can be colored by a mask layer shelf perspective: off, wood-like, can be colored by a mask layer several shadows for the top bar and shelf background layer: 3 different shadows, can be colo...

iPhone LockInfo & lockscreen theme

Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:16:42 +0100

I was quite unsatisfied with the look of the default lockscreen of my iPhone 3GS, especially not showing any useful information such as upcoming events in the calendar, missed calls and so on. This is where LockInfo by David Ashman jumped in, for which this theme is made for. In addition to the theme I have made 17 replacement images for the default battery.Unfortunately I did have a layered file, which I did put very much work into, but deleted them by accident. Doh! As soon as my package ge...

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:00:38 +0100

So, you have probably done what many (most?) PC Gamers out there did this week: install StarCraft 2! Maybe you are facing the problem that when being in-game everything is smooth like butter, but navigating the menus from time to time freezes your PC? Well, as reported by various websites, this is due to a small forgotten code piece, which caps the frame rate in while being in the game menus - which leads to the hardware doing its best getting you the most performant menu you have ever seen... a...

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 12:26:05 +0100

Now you have got your Google Calendar Sync running, but chances are that you have set up multiple calendars. You will notice that the default sync does NOT include additional but only the main calendar. I am using the main calendar for scheduling everyday appointments and a second one for recommended TV shows (I have set up the open source TV-Browser to automatically add TV favourites to my Google Calendar, but that is another story). Here is the solution for your "I want to sync multiple Google...

1. Killerspiele gibt es überhaupt nicht. Ohne den von Edmund Stoiber geprägten Begriff wäre das gesamte Verbotsbestreben wohl chancenlos. Das Wort ist ein propagandistisches Meisterwerk, denn jedes Spiel, das als Killerspiel bezeichnet wird, verwandelt sich sofort zu etwas abnormalem und nicht schützenswerten. Wer „Killerspiel“ hört, denkt an etwas krankes, das verboten werden muss und fragt gar nicht mehr nach, um was es in dem Spiel eigentlich geht. Was momentan passiert, ist in etwa...

Maybe you've experienced this strange behaviour the past days: When joining a STEAM Multiplayer server you'll get disconnected with this error: ERROR verifying steam userID ticket (34) This problem won't go away automatically (at least here) so I've tried to figure out why this happens, looking for a solution how to solve this issue. You have to delete 3 files inside your STEAM folder and restart steam, so it updates itself. After succesfully updating multiplayer games work again. To make ever...

Messenger Plus! Live Feature Suggestion

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 23:01:09 +0100

I was playing around with some of the Messenger Plus! Live features later this day. In my opinion the desktop contact functionality is really handy - but the way I am using them (always on top, at the top of my desktop) they are blocking the windows underneath them. No window title draggin, no minimize, maximize and such actions were possible, because the desktop contacts are blocking them. So I thought about a feature addition and made this little animation to introduce it: And guess what? O...

Xfire racing mini profile

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 11:32:36 +0100

As soon as xfire started to support 4 different mini profiles I began to think "Hey, where's a racing theme?". I designed such a theme, but the Xfire guys did not want ANY 3rd party design, because they are afraid of being bombed with a heavy amount of custom designs if only one "comes trough" to get official, I guess. Here's an image: (the top image is my design, the bottom one the original Xfire skin) ...
