Object-Oriented Debate

There are two major schools of thought about how you should write software. Here's what they are and why people argue about it.
Video Compression Gone Wrong

How does image compression work, and why does it create those ugly spots all over some videos and not others?
A Star is Born

Remember the superhero MMO from 2009? Neither does anyone else. It was dumb. So dumb I was compelled to write this.
Quakecon 2012 Annotated

An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
OMG, it’s Pyramid Head with a cone on his pyramid! The Bartholomew Cubbins of terror!
Wow, I hadn’t thought of young Cubbins of the 500 hats in years.
I guess that makes him … *puts on sunglasses* … a Conehead.
*clears throat*
mii mii mii miiiii! Miii- alright there we go! ahem…
*deeeeeep breath*
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I think that Yar Kramer kinda…
*sunglasses*
Missed that point.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Hopefully this doesn’t turn into
*puts on sunglesses*
The Sarah Coner Chronicles
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Summer Glau’s acting in that series was a little…
*puts on sunglasses*
…robotic.
YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
If you break yourself away from Minecraft you might want to change the link to go to the comic instead of the forum post. :)
Also, great comic, the build up was great and the semi-reveal hilarious.
lolol XD
so L4D theme poster with TF2 Spy-stabbing. hmm i think i see a trend here.
Well apparently some hackers took down Minecraft multiplayer, but that was yesterday. Not sure if its still down.
Either way, it explains how we got a link so fast :P
There are zillions of minecraft servers. I think Shamus up and said he and his kid use their own private server. I doubt these hackers took down every minecraft private server (selectively, while failing to take down the rest of the net), so I’m not sure that rumor is applicable here.
Actually, our server went down as well. I couldn’t log into the master server when starting the game, so multiplayer was broken.
I knew it.
Those bastards!
This reminds me of that one guy who killed himself with a traffic cone in Halo 3.

Those traffic cones man… they’re deadly.
Did anyone else have an issue with Ken being stabbed in the back… and then the chair being stabbed in the front? So the killer move all the way around them in a matter of seconds… or… are there TWO SHOOTERS???
DUN DUN DUN!!!!
Quick!Someone check the grassy knoll!There might be a gazebo there!
Plants vs. Zombies?
And you didn’t kill Kenny. He said his name is Kev. Kev Huarrrgh.
Oh no! He got Neil, too!
NOBODY IS SAFE
RUN YOU FOOLS
/spit take
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
i am just going to chop the top of a cone and tape it to my back, that way the killer will think he already got me!
laying still will be a bitch though…
