Flash games

Dwarven Zombies

In Dwarven Zombies some crazy necromancer turns all the dwarfs into bloodthirsty zombies. They start coming down from their halls to feast upon your elven camp. You need to train warriors, clerics and heroes in order to save your people.

The game is currently in beta. It really needs improvement and potential for the future. Maybe develop more story line and the enhancing of the graphics and images.

97% of today’s kids are video gamers

According to a new survey from the Pew Internet & American Life Project 97% of young people today play video games in one form or another–boys and girl alike. And when they play video games, they often play them with someone else, ether in person or online. Two-thirds play face-to-face, the survey found, while a quarter play online with other people. “It shows that gamers are social people,” says Amanda Lenhart, a senior researcher at Pew. “They communicate just as much. They spend time face-to-face, just as much as other kids. They e-mail and text.”

The kids these days game fairly often, too, with 50% of them saying they had played a video game the previous day. And even though many underage respondents said they had played or owned several M- and AO-rated games, the Pew researchers were quick to distance themselves from making any proclamations about video games and real world violence. Instead, Joseph Kahne, a study co-author and dean of the education school at Mills College in California, said games like Halo–while violent–provided “more than average opportunities for players to help one another.”

Kids need to learn that they are being distracted. Put the controller down, pick up a book. Learn something that is going to get you somewhere in life. Make accomplishments,have goals. Also this is not kids, I know adults who don’t anything but game and talk about gaming.

I pretty much gave up video games except for when I have time to kill like waiting at the dr office or airport or something like that.this is kids, kids will always be kids. Once they find something funny and attractive to do, they keep on doing it. Like you were doing video games w/e toys when you were young. Playing with an xbox/PC you can call a hobby, like you are going to a baseball practice w/e any another sport.Example, if you live far far away from the city.. Got nothing to do, well what do you do? well some kids play video games, or climb a tree w/e mountain..
They also play games to have fun with their buddies(mates), It’s fun and addictive.. but sometimes it’s too much, there’s a limit how much you can play per day. That’s where the parent needs to step up, notice if he/her is playing too long.

Blog Post: Boys who Like Girls


The band sure knows how to mix business with pleasure.

Boys Like Girls may be having the time of their lives strumming away at their electric guitars or singing their hearts out for all the world to hear. But beneath the sound and the fury are four young men as dead serious about values as they are with their music.

"Kids today grow up so fast. They should enjoy their youth more," declares vocalist-guitarist Martin Johnson. He and his band mates, Bryan Donahue (bassist), Paul DiGiovanni (lead guitarist) and John Keefe (drummer) are in the country for the first time to perform at the Ayala Malls (tomorrow, Sept. 5, 7 p.m. at Trinoma Activity Center and Glorietta Activity Center on Sept. 6, 5 p.m.).

The song has all the hooks a teenager can ever dream of: A lively beat that makes you get up and dance, guitar riffs, etc. But listen more closely and there's more to it. There's wise brotherly advice in there. And parents have every reason to relax and smile.

The band can sing this way because they're speaking from experience.

That's a promise to stay from Boys Like Girls. And that's good news for fans who want to see more of this rock band that has produced hits like Hero/Heroine and The Great Escape.

Besides, once you've been named Artists of the Year and one of Alternative Press's 100 bands You Need to Know in 2007" the way the band has, you've got a reputation to live up to.

The album of Boys like Girls is basically a run-through of my life from ages 18 to 21, my relationships, what it's like being thrown out into the real world and leaving my hometown comfort zone. It's a commentary on life and my own personality." This music is like a diary of our lives. Just listening to it relaxes your mind but some songs are emotional.

iCLONE

REALLUSION ICLONE PRO V3.0-EDGEISO


This little gem is something many of you creative folks may find interesting. Its a program that allows you to create “scenes” of 3d animation movies. I’ve messed around with it for a bit and its a lot of fun. Note to self: my brunette girlfriend does not appreciate being animated as a cartoon DD cup blond chick.

Description: iClone3 is the complete 3D movie machine with real-time animation and actor creation tools for rendering movies with ultimate detail. Design actors that are ready to take the stage as fully animated 3D avatars featuring custom faces, facial animation, motion, clothing and accessories. Build scenes with actor-interactive props, elaborate architecture and natural environmental elements including sky, terrain, water and atmosphere. Film iClone animation in real-time with advanced live actor puppeteering and vehicle piloting powered by keyboard hotkeys (W,S,A,D) and game-like mouse look control. Export and share your movies online or as footage for post-production video projects.



Features:

New Production Modes: iClone 3.0 simplifies the animation process to two production modes: Editor Mode and Director Mode. Editor Mode allows you to create and refine your scene and actors, and Director Mode to command how your actors behave with the ease of moving around in your favorite videogame.

New Camera System: iClone’s camera system is revised to allow you to add as many cameras to a scene as you require and actively switch the live camera view throughout your animation enabling you to record an animated scene much like real-world filmmaking.

Improved User-Interface (UI): Designed to make iClone 3.0 more accessible and customizable to the way you work, the new interface guides you through every step of the moviemaking process at your own pace, fast or slow, difficult or easy, thanks to collapsible menus and full-screen for maximizing the production space of your desktop movie studio.

Easy Sharing: With output options ranging from HD-sized video to YouTube-sized video and the new Flash video option with a variety of quality settings, iClone users can share their productions in the full-screen, DV video format for DVD projects and as streaming videos for websites. Videos can also be produced for mobile handsets and emails.
