Stuff Under the Header

An Actual Serious Post

This post is not about Distorted Travesty at all unfortunately.

If you are not aware of what the NDAA or SOPA are, I HIGHLY HIGHLY encourage you to educate yourself on both of these. (I link to the wikipedia articles because you can find tons of stuff from those pages.)

The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) allows the US military to detain US citizens indefinitely, without trial. The articles you can find elsewhere online can give much more info than I can, so I will not quote or regurgitate what they state. I'm merely trying to make sure everyone who comes here is aware of these events.

For SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), even if you're not living in the US, it's bad news for you, and would be good for everyone who uses the internet, to know about it. In short, it allows the US government to blacklist any site deemed as a copyright infringement. Technically under that bill, sites like youtube, facebook, deviantart, just to name a few, could not be allowed to exist.

Okay, some light-hearted news
Had the day off... wait... I lied, DT news here. So yeah... I had the day off and got a ton of stuff done on DT3 today. Pretty much all of Gate 3 is laid out now. Just need to finish up some of the tile work, the details, collision, enemy placement, (that doesn't take long (yay paper maps)) okay... yeah I have a lot left to go. Not to mention 2 boss fights that aren't fully scripted.

THIS GAME WILL NEVER BE FINISHED... Well I said that about the first one. Months ago, I said that DT3 would be shorter than DT1. That's not true. It's looking to be slightly longer and bigger. My initial play time projection was a bit... off.

Huh, I'm kind of surprised your site isn't on strike today. I was kind of expecting it to be.

(Er, I didn't mean that to sound judgmental or anything, sorry if it came off that way.)

Oh it's fine, it didn't come off that way at all.

I definitely thought about it.
