by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 22, 2002 6:15am PSTNot too sure what to make of that Freedom Force demo. I liked the first tutorial-like level, but I'm having some problems getting my party of superheroes to not die/suck in the second level. Perhaps I need to put in more effort. I dig the style of the game though. So supposedly it's spring now since a few days. And all of a sudden we do have some sun here again. Though it's still not getting much warmer than 50 degrees, at least it's not raining. Usually doesn't get much better until late April / May though. As you might've noticed, I hate bad weather. Like, a lot. Oh and god damn former ISP. Remember how I bitched in December that they took money from my account even though I cancelled my subscription in October? They never got back to me for that, and now there's another random charge in March. So I call, and the helpdesk chick is like "That's not possible. Your last payment was in October" and I'm "Yeah, it's supposed to be but it's not" And then she's "Nope. That's just not possible. It can't happen". So it's like, wtf, I'm lying to you? Then she puts me on hold for 10 minutes and then suddenly there is a mystery customer who happens to have the same bank account number as me (wtf?). Perhaps it will be fixed now..yeah, right.

I outfitted my camera with a Nikon Speedlight C3500, dubbed the 'megaflash' because of an option where you can choose to drain the batteries in just one flash (!). This makes for a reeaaaalllly powerful flash that could light up a small football field! So I figured I had to try it out when it's really dark outside to see how good it would light up.
I am pretty amazed by the results, remember this is six big batteries losing their whole charge in just the press of a button. I was afraid to set fire to the cars on the parkinglot pretty much!

Picture taken WITH flash:
prime.d2g.com/p/megaflash/2_with_flash
Note the light areas of the picture being really sensitive to the effect of the flash, as the light reflects back onto the picture sensor the effect is strengthened, making the street lights look almost like small suns, they are so bright. This thing is so powerful. I'm gonna run out and get some new batteries now, I'll be able to use this thing as a defensive weapon!

And no I did NOT click on anything to install gator. I run ad-aware daily and there is always something new to remove. If I leave my computer on overnight with IE open, I come back with 30-40 popup windows that can only be close by hitting alt-f4 an inordinate amount of times.
And if you reply to this post with a smart-aleck comment you will hurt my feelings. How's that feel on your conscience? HUH?
