He already has more than one, Balls is plural. having two "Balls"s, that would just be freaky.

It's been my experience that they don't give a damn how many you have, it's really the other equipment located in that same general area that matters actually.

On a serious note, most girls think programmers are bad-asses. wearetheborg hasn't noticed yet, but programming (especially game programming) is cool now.

edit: My girlfriend plans to sit and watch me (aparently). I told her to bring a book though. :-/

By the way, I actually missed the joke when I posted my last post. I was still talking about games. :o

I had projects in the depot, but the links are long dead and so they got removed during ML's cleanup -- wish I'd kept the links up to date.

Good luck with this Biggest Dork of the Year contest!

I'm not entering this year so everyone else has some sort of chance.

I'm also not coding for SpeedHack, because I'm busy with other stuff. :(

I didn't either until this year, but several girls that I've met (7+) think I'm some sort of badass cause I can write programs. It's really strange to me, but I have no problem with it. 2007 is totally the year of the game programmer.

What about the six-year-olds and younger?

No, IMHO they were all thin & cute. 8-)

edit: Seattle is weird though, you know, I just started noticing that tons of people here wear kilts... wtf?

... Wha? ... I'm not trying to pick up preschoolers! >:(

edit: oh I just got it, I said 7+ -- as in the quantity, not the age jack ass.

Thin or thick, a mustache is a mustache.

Listen, I dunno what kind of girls y'all been finding, maybe you guys have some kind of mustache fetish or something, but I only go for the clean-cut look. ::)

edit: @nonnus29: wtf?

nonnus, why? Why link to the same video twice? That doesn't make any sense. The video itself barely makes sense.

Neil: He didn't link to it twice.

He linked to it thrice ;)

I can only assume he imagines himself laughing when he hears so-called "creepy alien kid". ;D

It's a very musical laugh :)

Hmm. The artistic requirements in this one are what worries me.

Fucking widescreen. That's what's worrying me. But I have a solution I think.

I spent a lot of time getting the precise details of the widescreen rule finalized, so somebody better implement it! It started off being a lot more restrictive, but it would have been no fun to implement.

As it is now, it just means your game needs to support two different aspect ratios. That could be as simple as adding a fancy border around a 640x480 game. It should only take about 5 minutes to implement in the most basic way.

Hopefully some people will have the initiative to use the space for something clever, that way I have an excuse to play the games on my 32" LCD TV.
