I made a bomb diffusing game in Visual Basic a while back. You had to match leads in a particular order before the timer ran out. Incorrect matches would deduct time making it harder. It wasn't anything crazy, but I thought it was cool for a language/software package that's primarily used to create GUIs.

Have you guys ever seen the games people make in Excel? Search "3D Maze Excel" in Google. I'd link you, but most of the sites are blocked at my desk.

Never seen it before, but it's well beyond what I thought was possible in Excel.

What did you do programming for? You should keep at it.

I did COBOL years ago... I'd rather take a cheese grater to my dick. I did Visual Basic work for a few years in college and then random stuff like korn shell scripting. I never did any real serious programming. I tried to self teach myself C++, but I couldn't get into it. It wasn't that difficult, but it didn't excite me.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #878 on:** April 14, 2015, 07:21:43 AM »

I once made a half assed attempt to learn C++, but never managed it. I use Javascript in Unity, which I find really simple to use, plus you get to make cool games.

Chino · « **Reply #879 on:** April 14, 2015, 07:28:46 AM »

I'd like to give Java a shot one of these days. I hear great things about Unity.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #880 on:** April 14, 2015, 07:38:10 AM »

Java isn't the same as Javascript (not sure if that's what you were saying, but it is a common point of confusion).
The new version of Unity gives you all of the fancy features for free now, so it's a good time to start.

Well aware

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #882 on:** April 14, 2015, 07:54:23 AM »

Just making sure.

In context it was a bit unclear, and I often see people get the two confused based on the similar names.

Hey guys

Morning.

Came in to work to find someone brought us a comfy yet musty smelling office chair

And my boss called out again. The pile of shit I have sitting here waiting for him just keeps getting larger.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #886 on:** April 14, 2015, 02:02:04 PM »

Yo! Training done and left work early. All is well with the world.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #887 on:** April 14, 2015, 02:23:21 PM »

I still have another 40 minutes here, can't wait to get home.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #888 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:12:56 AM »

Good morning, seems I'm the first one up.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #889 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:16:04 AM »

Morning. Just knee deep in paperwork this morning.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #890 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:17:24 AM »

That sucks, I'm still drinking my coffee waiting to go in. King if I remember correctly you smoke cigars right?

King Postwhore · « **Reply #891 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:21:50 AM »

Not anymore. When my mom was in the hospital in 2011, she was dying of lung cancer. My mom was a 2 pack a day smoker. I never smoked cigarettes but I did have about 12 cigars a year. I made her a promise in the hospital that I would never smoke a cigar again. It's the least I could do for my mom. I miss her every day and want to honor her by doing this and being a good person like my mom was.

I don't know if you remember, but I got a tone of Boston Bruins Stanley Cup cigars and I wasn't about to break my promise so I knew Hef loved cigars and I mailed them out to him so someone could enjoy them.

Zydar · « **Reply #892 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:25:18 AM »

That was really nice of you, Joe

ReaperKK · « **Reply #893 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:25:25 AM »

Yea I remember

just backwards, I thought hef mailed them to you. I guess that's what happens when you get old

I smoke maybe 1 or 2 cigars a month and I was just looking for some recommendations.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #894 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:29:32 AM »

Age sure kills the memory.

Thanks Zy!

I've always liked a mild flavor, large cigar. Not a jawbreaker style but at least 9 to 10 inches long. Not a fan of the bullet ends but Arturo Fuente (sp?) and Churchill were two good brands. They burned even and lasted a good hour.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #895 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:34:36 AM »

I'll check them out, I'm also a fan of mild flavor cigars. Usually what I do is sit outside with some music and just enjoy an album and a cigar, I just want the cigar to last the whole album.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #896 on:** April 15, 2015, 06:42:09 AM »

Yeah, I love that. I loved smoking while tailgating at Pats games or bonfires at my buddies house.

They were much appreciated.

Word.

How's everyone doing?

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #902 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:02:29 AM »

chillin

King Postwhore · « **Reply #903 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:11:28 AM »

Like a villain?

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #904 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:15:07 AM »

Is there any other way?

King Postwhore · « **Reply #905 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:16:40 AM »

Saw the Kimmel interview with the cast from The Avengers. They were having a blast.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #906 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:20:17 AM »

Yeah, that was awesome.

*Jim Rome Voice* - What Is Up John?

Hef, did you find that Scarlett was a little weird. Everybody seemed so relaxed but she didn't. Downey of course was himself.
