Whoa man, I was so drunk that i fell on my guitar and made this kick-ass sound.
Due to this Tertis229's services are now obsolete, soon I will be arsed to figure out how to model and animate stuff and Balai will be little more than fat, prime for trimming.
So, being ill was fun, I think that neither me nor Balai are entirely over it, but work is now once again in progress.
There was a point where I was so tired, and so ill that it culminated in a mild delirium. By which I mean I spent a good half an hour lying in bed hallucinating. I conversed at length with our patron saint of sorts, the great Space Walrus. He reported to me that the Nether Whale sent his regards, but couldn't make it, he was apparently busy 'nudging Rome'. Neither me nor the Walrus could decipher what that actually entailed. Being British I then had no choice but to steer the conversation towards complaining about the weather.
Realising that this communion was quite likely taking place within the imagination of my rapidly evaporating brain, I decided that the only thing for it was to scale the very highest of Hogwarts's many towers and drink from the goblet of fire, in hopes of finding a cure. Our story, believe it or not, becomes even more convoluted at this point, but, short version, I emerged victorious. I still have a horrible sore throat though, I'm thinking that tonight I should be able to get a Phoenix feather to clear that up.
I haven't had time to fully explore Power Up Forever's depths, but what I have played so far compels me to delve deeper. This is strange, I'm normally the kind of person who wouldn't be interested in this kind of game, I can't stand geometry wars for example, yet despite this and a complete lack of skill, I will be giving it at least a second look.

a new guy dragged into this mess
So here we go with the infamous, introductory blog. I am Tetris229, the dude that was hired by these two rambling dudes to make some moosik for their Vidja game "Zombietopia". This of course means i love video games and play them all the time and love music and write it all the time but when it comes to coding I'm about as useful as a paper-paperweight. To conclude this matter i will by posting with stuff like "dude i got so baked last night and made this awesome tune" or "whoa man i was so drunk that i feel on my guitar and made this kick-ass sound". Further more you will only hear from me once Iced and Balai actually start making this game...exactly so see you in the next life.
PS: almost forgot I'm also making the SFX, (that's sound effects for those special people that couldn't guess), and I made a delightful mathematical discovery last lunchtime: plastic tray + refrigerator = Gunshot noise.
Expect all handgun noises to be made from my Fridge.

My internal organs: A life story
There haven't been many posts this week, and what has been called forth to this bleak manifesto has been posted when I have been... improperly equipped to make fair or impartial judgements. There has also been a total lack of relevant content, which is not to be unexpected when I am the sole poster for a week.
For all of these things I blame Balai.
You see, Balai has been ill for the whole week, the local news indicates that his dwelling has been infiltrated by a modern day analog of mustard gas. Not so much that he couldn't make a public appearance yesterday, but enough to put him out of commission for the rest of the week, today included. Then the bastard had the cheek to take the time I saw him yesterday as an opportunity to propagate his foul lurgy, so now I've spent both today and yesterday groaning and clenching my stomach.
It actually feels like the left side of my brain and my small intestine have been having an affair with each other, and have now decided to run away. My large intestine has given chase of course, that's what he does, it is all he knows. Meanwhile, the remaining, right half of my brain is busy sulking in a corner, and constantly reporting to my consciousness that is actually on fire, regardless of what my eyes are telling me, because 'Screw them man, our eyes have always been liars'. He does have a point there, I will give him that.
We had hoped to have a rough outline of zombietopia's tutorial done by the end of this week, this hasn't been achieved, I'll leave the details down to you guys.

Uh...
I just re-read that last post I made, it was a lot harsher than intended. I mean, I went in there intending to be an arse hole, but I let it go way too far. For this I apologise.
In other news, trying to come up with instrument based weaponry is actually quite hard. Instrument weapons isn't zombietopia related, I was recently contacted by the military to work on a secret program. That isn't secret now, I guess.

An open letter to the developer of 'RPaints'
Dear Mr/Ms/Mrs Remyremrem
Could you please explain this to me? Because the whole thing in general boggles my mind. Because it appears that you are asking 400 Microsoft points for your product, I just want to double check if this is the actual case, you see, I haven't had the prescription for my glasses updated for a while, so I cannot be sure that I am not completely misreading that page.
Price point aside, I do still have a couple of enquiries to make. Is the shitty MSpaint half-arsed rip off the entire game? Do you understand the concept of a game? Or is it just a sordid joke reserved for those playing the trial game?
Look, I'll be fair, I am not opposed to people using the Xbox Live community games feature to make interesting apps instead of games. I would go as far as to say I welcome it, but not only is RPaint's presentation shoddy - at best - someone had the cheek to set it the undeserving price of 400 Points, the same price as small arms, which is far from a perfect game, but it is, at least, a game, and one that can be pretty fun to play with friends.
Feel free to come back though, should you get an equivilant of photoshop running on an Xbox.
This is why even community games should either be free or have at least some quality control.
