So hows it hanging? It's already Thursday? Fantastic. So later today should be the results for the holiday contest, I saw a lot of promising entries in there, so keep an eye for that. Also noticed the confirmation of Savage 2 coming out in a couple weeks yesterday, and I think we might do a neat thing or two around here to get everyone excited for that fine game.

I think it's time for more Dynasty Warrior: Gundam, Super Mario Galaxy and Jeanne d'Arc today. It might be an okay time to be a gamer.

So I was surfing Youtube and found this Crysis video with this track as the background:

Aberdeen City - Pretty Pet

Neat physics, but I really dug the song more. These guys have been around for a while, anyone else know of them?

    You render each frame to an image 1 at a time, and render 30 images for every second of game time (meaning every frame rendered you increment the current "time" in the game by 1/30 seconds). Rendering each frame can take as long as it wants. When the frames are played in sequence at 30fps, you get smooth animation.
    
    That's what they do in Hollywood (Maddox Mac commercial reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tq7yykR-DM)
