Its been a long days night (and ive been gamein like a freak)



All nighters the fault of many a RPG (thats Role Playing Game)
The act of staying up all night can be blamed on them or any game for that matter but for me its these long as heck RPGs (Disgaea is one of the main problems)
I blame the bad use of save points of lack there of, The ill just level up this guy temptation, The random battles (Ok this is not the case in Disgaea)
Thank fully I dont have anything to do most days (Havein no job has its up sides)
But there comes a time when you have to put the pad down and say "Thats all" or else you might fall a sleep at the pad (This has happened to me) then find out that your time playing has gone up by a few hours

Well I have just done anther all nighter but instead of going to bed ive got to go places

Damn it (Disgaea DS rant)


Why the bloody hell did they put this on the DS ?

Its truely one of the most evil time consumin games inexistent
Nothin I was meant to do has been done
Instead all ive been doin is lvlin up my charicters on this near endless game (It has a end as such but the end of the game is just the start)

So far ive had it two weeks and I have spent over 130 hours on it
Thats 130 hours of my life on a game
If i had a job it would rly cut into my game time

Its like revistin a old friend that has shrunk

Oh well
Back I go to it

The lazynes of Cows



Cows are right lazy buggers
All they do is hang around in fields all day eatin grass.
I wonder what will happen if somebody gave them a diffrent type of grass ?
Will a cow get high ?
Will it fly ?
Or will it just lie there all day wondering why them clouds have legs ?
Will it become even lazyer ?
Damn the lazyness of cows.

Breakfast rant

Ok not every body in the world will know what a "Full English" is (it can be wikied) but I will explain it in my own little way
Basically -
  • Beans
  • Fryd egg
  • Bacon
  • Hash browns
  • Mushrooms
  • Toast
  • Sausage
  • Optional drink of eather tea, coffie or fuit jucie for the health freaks
But on to the rant-
Its mostly about the way that it is made and served
Now there are some things that big stores do wrong and that is

Presentation -
From Asda
From the Tudor cafe (in Stockport town center)
Both are the same price

Asdas is just randomly placed on a plate with that "cant be arsed just want your money way"
Where as any decent caff will know that the beans do not go over the rest of the food and the food will be stacked nicely.

Look of food -

Ok so a black puddin may not look to nice (it is dryed blood after all) but at least if the food looks nice it will make other people want it.
Looks at the food in the big chain store (Adsa) pic the bacon looks like its the last in the pack (mostly fat) it all looks stale and unaptising.

Atmosphere of the place
-

Its hard to be cosy in a massive super market
The way that you have to get your own coffee and your own butter by the time you sit down to eat it its gone a bit colder and theres always somebody there tryin to get past you
Cafes tend to be small the food is allmost always brought to you and there usealy is some random banter that can be had with the person that brings it to you

Taste -

Ok this is the most important
Asdas always tastes of there "value" range of foods (a tin of baked beans for 9p) as said the bacon is mostly fat, the sausages are hard to cut with out a chain saw, the eggs yoke is hard , it all has a "Cant be arsed" taste to it even the damn toast is cold and tears (rubbish for putin butter on) when tryin to butter it
Where as any decent caff the yoke will be runny, the sausages can be cut without loads of force, the bacon wont be mostly fat the whole thing should be moist with out bein to moist.

Well there you have it
It you want a decent full english avoid big chain stores/chain caffs and go to you local caff (it also supports the local community by helpin keep these placeis open)

Where I think

I have been asked where do I come up with my ideas for stuff ?
The answer is mostly in my mind.
But this divice also helps with my thinking.

Ive just been thinking
(the rope is holdin the thing that I put my clothes on to dry)

Yes in the bath
It helps some how
Also other means are alcahol, PROG rock and just basic stairin at a blank page till I start to see things on there

So there you have it
A bath will help you think

How do Id make gifs ?

Ok this is a old how to made by me

Yes its a simple one

For this you will need
Paint
Mircosoft gif animator
A spare minute
A sprite sheet (google is the key but Im providein one for practice)

marioeu0.gif

Step one
Open your sprite sheet in paint
Open another paint
and open the other programs

Change the back ground to a color not on the sprite (greens a good one)

Get the first part of the animation and highlight it (dont need to be exact just keep it as close as possible)

steponeem4.png

Paste it into the empty paint window

step23in3.png

Stretch so theres room
Copy all and paste into gif animator
Now with the sprite sheet I gave you you can just flip it (saves time)
and paste it to gif animator

Get the next frame

Paste it into paint and click the bit surrounded in red and line up his foot so its over the other
Then click the bit above (the rest of the background should become green)
Get rid of any of the bits remainin
Copy paste to gif animator
Flip the image
paste into gif animator

Now in gif animator

step3sn8.png

Color code
Green is for your copy paste
Red is for movein the frame up and down
Blue is the order there displayed
Yellow is for previewin

Arrange the images so they look in the correct order (preview if unsure)
Now click on "animation"
Then "looping" followed by "repeat forever"
Then image
Click on the two squares on top of the one square (it highlights all the frames)
Right I have color coded the next bit

step4nd3.png

Red is for how long each frame is (7 is good)
Put the green bit onto "restore background"
Now in the blue box click the "transparency" box (it should auto get rip of all the green bit)

Preview
If good save

End result

Ode to the can in the fridge


o can of carling
How you temp me so
You make every one look like a darling
Must you tempt me so
You stand there in the fridge shelf
How you tempt me so
Your tallness makes all the other cans look like elfs
Must you tempt me so
I want to feel you taste
How you tempt me so
I think if I dont drink you all it will be a waste
Must you tempt me so
If I drink you you will take me to a mistical land
How you tempt me so
This land is where grass and lawnmoer go hand in hand
Must you temp me so
Your power is do make me do things like this
How you tempt me so
But some times you make me need a piss
Must you tempt me so
Dare I open you and sniff that smell
How you tempt me so
I think if I drink to meny I wont feel to well
Must you tempt me so
That dizzy feelin I get from drinkin you in one
How you tempt me so
It makes me want to play Son -son
Must you tempt me so
Drinkin you makes me do strange things
How you tempt me so
Things like changein the way my phone rings
Must you tempt me so
When your gone there will be nothing
You do tempt me so
Then that shelff will need a buffing
Must you tempt me so
YOUR MAKEIN ME THURSTY

DRINKIN TIME
