Advanced Game Code

Published 8/14/2008 by Hawthorne
Thanks to my buddy Arius I was able to rig up SSAO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_Space_Ambient_Occlusion) inside of geonardo for some impressive results, its very tweaky but its very cool that it works in such a generic environment that you guys can use whilst building worlds!!

Here are a couple screen's and a quick vid:

The much anticipated release of OpenGL 3.0 was made this week. I wont go into much detail but I would like to point out that OpenGL from a developers standpoint has abandoned the Gaming Platform all-together in lieu of making a better 2.0 i.e 3.0 is not anyhting new at all, it is 2.0 with more extensions.

OpenGL and the backers of this technology have TOTALY failed this community. There is one thing that is clear: DirectX is the King of Gaming.

Enott: Don't you have some gold to sell? Maybe some accounts to move? Rip off a few business people? Seriously go do something you are good at, because you fucking suck at AOC.

DDH tries! but no cigar. Level 49 Pheelin tried twice to gank the old hawthorne. Both times resulting in what I would call Humiliation. Below is a nice little sample of round #2 when it was just me and him, I had a mini boss a minion and the Pheelin on me... Results below. Level 43 Jakkard vs Level 49 Pheelin. Jakkard Wins. TR #1.

Our city plot has been created and our crew has one of the highest on the server at level 51. It's been a smooth start minus the unscheduled downtimes but all in all Age of Conan has been a good launch and probably the best PVP game since Shadowbane or AC. Imagine a blend of EQ2 and AC with a hint of SB minus the shitty graphics and the crashing.

A lot of old school crews are on the scene and it is shaping up to be a great time. The cry tits have already begun to scream and the wow guilds have already left the server (Dues Vox fucking scrubs, this ain't Laughing Skull). PRX made the usual shitty entrance calling GM's whilst 5 TR members smacked 15 of them around like bitches.

Anyhow a great start! more time come!

Frontline: Razer

Published 5/16/2008 by Hawthorne in The Regulators News

Once again The Regulators prove that "This shits REAL SON". Our latest adventures have taken us out of the video games and straight into the heart of the terrorist hell that is "IRAQ". The Regulators have long time members scattered throughout the US military forces and today we bring you a special front line report in Baghdad from our man in the field PFC Razer.

hspace=5


"Ok so from 27MAR08 - 11APR08 I had 41 rockets land within 400meters of me. Im not going to get to shoot anyone. My current job is working with milatary intelgence. I get to operate the UAVs once in awhile and I get to make the next to final call for airstrikes, artilary, and ground forces. Im still on the tank once and awhile. I got some pics Ill post.I have called up a couple AWT (Air Weapon Team) that have sent Apaches and got to see some Iraqs take hell fire in the back. Shit is no joke out here but I make it one. I always whistle like there is incoming and get yelled at. O I had a Lob Bomb (Rocket with a wielding tank full of gas and ball bearings) land next to me. Got shrapnal out from a tire about 4 inches from my head. They arent very acurate but 300 ball bearings flying around dont have to be. Ossoi its cool Im bigger than Jesues(Get yelled at all the time for saying that.Guess some people arent imortal like me) I can combat rez myself."


TR is ranked #1 in Iraq and Razer is the #1 PFC in the army currently.

This has been a special front line report from from the War department @ TR. If you would like to support your troops call your congressman or woman today or your senator and tell them that you SUPPORT the troops.
