Not much today. Hope you enjoy it:
Do you often find yourself thinking about the next big programming language? Having nightmares about NullPointerExceptions? or understand why some people use kek and lol interchangably?
If so, you should try Getting a Life(tm). Getting a Life(tm) isn't right for everyone. If you are pregnant, nursing, may become pregnant, or are fat male that passersby often confuse for a heavyset woman, Getting a Life(tm) may not be right for you.
Please consult your physician before you try Getting a Life(tm) as side effects may include: not hating yourself, enjoying the company of others, and being called a noob when you finally return to your favorite online game.
Time to work on getting some people to help promote project Samblitz! Good night Internet.

Dump 'Em Out (Studios)
So I haven't been posting lately, and this is why: Dump 'Em Out Studios is now official. We're putting together a team and writing an XBox360 game. I'll post a link to the facebook fan page where we'll be putting updates later. Anyway, there were some good ones today:
Smokol: which is worse, the hot girl speaking russian so people couldn't eavesdrop on her conversation or that i was able to hear and understand enough to tell she was arguing with her mother about her boyfriend?
Warblitz: tsk tsk tsk
Warblitz: "Minya zaboot Smokol"
Phil: So as it turns out, trying to simplify things for your Mac owning graphic designer userbase...does not help people who actually read documentation.
Phil: The baby Jesus is simultaneously laughing, crying, and crapping his Huggies in fear.
Phil: funcIDCombo.selectedIndex = i as Number;
Phil: funcIDCombo.selectedIndex == 0
Phil: I have redefined 3!
Smokol: wait
Smokol: that returned true?
Smokol: what type is i?
Phil: String
Smokol: and "3" as Number == 0?
Smokol: weird
Smokol: unless for some Garth-aweful reason it does it like this (funcIDCombo.selectedIndex = i) as Number
Phil: My faith is officially lost.
Smokol: in?
Phil: Flash
Smokol: you had some to begin with?
Phil: I had to think that maybe it wouldn't completely fail at everything.
Phil: It is complaining about a "possibly undefined method"
Phil: Being called on an object of type ArrayCollection. Examining the inheritance tree you can see that ArrayCollection inherits from ListCollectionView, which inherits from Proxy, which inherits from Object.
Smokol: didn't we go through this last week?
Smokol: am i stuck in a movie?
Phil: The addAll() method is defined in ListCollectionView
Phil: So is the addItem() method.
Phil: I can call addItem(), but not addAll()
Smokol: wow
Phil: It was similar to last week's problem, but a whole new sort of fail.
Smokol: ahh
Phil: HOWEVER! It's even better. if I do (target as Object).addAll(), it works. 'as' is ActionScript's cast mechanism. An expression (target as Object) returns either target as an Object or null.
-Reasons to not argue with an iPhag (i know it's a bit long but I was too lazy to weed out the gems)
iPhag: then i got an ipad
iPhag: then i got a life
Smokol: wait
Smokol: what?
iPhag: so many things have been happening
Smokol: you did not get a maxIpad
iPhag: oh i did
Smokol: w
Smokol: t
Smokol: f
iPhag: my flow's the heaviest
Smokol: i really hope you're kidding
iPhag: okay keep hoping
Smokol: my soul has been crushed
Smokol: you tell koblentz yet?
Smokol: he'll be pretty excited to play with it
iPhag: with every fanboy there is an anti fanboy
Smokol: aye, i am the ultimate fanboy. i hate almost everything
Smokol: and even the things i llike i don't consider myself a fan
iPhag: i could care less about apple
Smokol: pfft
Smokol: lies
Smokol: you went and got a giant apple branded paperweight
iPhag: i refuse to pay over 1000 for any apple product
iPhag: and would never buy a desktop or mac book
iPhag: lol @ paperweight
iPhag: more like internetz in my hands
Smokol: i'd totally buy a macbook if i had money to burn
iPhag: your just mad im going to be browsing the interwebs in style on the toilet
Smokol: so why not just get a ipod touch?
Smokol: the ipad is just a big iTouch
iPhag: because I own an ipod touch
iPhag: and doing anything more than listening to music on it is a pain
Smokol: i browse the web in style on the toilet. 24" touch screen wall mounted
Smokol: what now
iPhag: lol
iPhag: i'd like to see that
iPhag: pictures please
Smokol: uhhh
Smokol: no
Smokol: freak
iPhag: although i wouldn't be surprised
iPhag: if you something a little more modest
iPhag: like a 17 inch montior
Smokol: pfft
Smokol: that's for the cheap and the weak
Smokol: you forget, i'm single with no friends and no life
iPhag: ipad is pretty cool, i was a little worried at first
iPhag: have you gotten a chance to play with one?
Smokol: i think ipad is a pretty cool guy
Smokol: eh only runs 1 app and doesn't afraid of anything
iPhag: reserve judgement till you do
iPhag: itz teh futurez
Smokol: i don't need to play with it. the specs just shout waste of money
Smokol: no usb
Smokol: no concurrent apps
Smokol: need i say more?
iPhag: OMGZ NO STYLUS
iPhag: how R MY FAT OIL FINGERZ GONAN BROWSE
Smokol: really? it doesn't ship with a stylus?
iPhag: NOZ VOICE REGOZNITIONZ
Smokol: well that's annoying but not terrible
Smokol: meh, voice recognition would be impressive
iPhag: HOW ELSE R I GONAN RITE EPIC NOVELZ
Ahh good times. Anyway, it's time for me to depart and get some work done on this game. Track us down at Game Underground on June 27. Good night Internet.
