Experience Humble Bundle like never before with the introduction of the Humble Weekly Sale!

What is the Humble Weekly Sale?

The Humble Weekly Sale is a pay-what-you-want promotion that runs for one week, with a new deal launching every Tuesday. That means you’ll have to act fast so you don’t miss these sweet deals every week! As with our bundles, you’ll be able to allocate your purchase amount any way you want: to charity, to the developers, or even us.

What’s on tap this week?

We’re kicking off our first fantastic promotion with a unique sale of the amazing and illustrious indie game, Bastion!

Name your price and get Bastion, DRM-free, for Mac, Windows and Linux. With a purchase of $1 or more you’ll also get a Steam key.

There are other goodies you can get, too! If you pay over the average, you’ll get an assortment of fantastic digital goods including the Bastion Digital Soundtrack (MP3 / FLAC), the never-before-released Bastion Digital Art Pack, Bastion Sheet Music, and Bastion iPhone / Android Ringtones! The Digital Art Pack will be available for the first time and exclusively as part of this promotion, and will include pieces from the game that Supergiant Games has never before released!

If you pay $25 or more, you’ll also get sweet physical merchandise including a copy of the Bastion Original Soundtrack CD, a real Bastion bandana, a Bastion postcard, and a postcard for Supergiant’s just-announced next game, Transistor!

So without further ado, here is our first weekly sale game: Bastion!

Be sure to watch it in HD!

Bastion

The action RPG Bastion won over the gaming public with its incredible attention to every detail - from the tight combat controls, to the inspired, narrator-driven storytelling in a novel, post-apocalyptic fantasy world. Players take on the role of the Kid, entrusted with the thankless task of restoring the world after a disastrous calamity. With a none-too-small arsenal of stylized weapons, jaw-dropping art, and amazing music, Bastion truly deserves its reputation as a must-play indie game by Supergiant Games.

Feel free to distribute your purchase amount how you’d like: between the developer or the two non-profit charities, Child’s Play Charity and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. And if you loved the weekly sale, a tip to Humble Bundle would be greatly appreciated!

Bastion will only be here for this week, with a new deal coming next Tuesday! So what are you waiting for? Head over to the site and get Bastion now!

It’s Who Week! We start off with an order I got this week from Baby Mason and his Whovian parents who wanted to celebrate his 3rd birthday is true who style.

With a Winnie the Pooh/Doctor Who crossover cake! I just love crossover cakes.

The quality parent’s wanted the cake based on this T-shirt (Which I had trouble tracking down, but eventually found the true artist. Thanks, Google Images!)

They also thought Tigger needed a companion- So in steps Piglet the crafty Dalek, made from things he found around his house.

Tigger and Piglet are free standing fondant/chocolate figures and the POLISE BOCS is made from chocolate-hazelnut cake with tri-chocolate buttercream.

Moriah Poppy - Kids (MGMT Cover):

Moriah Poppy is really good! Her music (and a lot of dubstep) is keeping me sane through finals season. Also coffee. Too much of that.

When these final exam things are over, I’ll post some of the projects I’ve been working on in my classes. I’m kinda proud of them and that would be a good use for this blog. :) Expect those sometime.

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS AMAZING.
THIS WOULD MAKE GOOD OMENS THE BEST SHOW EVER.

I’m already so excited for the potential TV adaptation. Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch are two of my favorite actors, and I think they could do a fantastic job as Crowley and Aziraphale.

Wed, 02 May 2012 20:08:22 -0400

This is the first stage of an image rendering program using a process called “ray tracing” that I wrote as part of the Graphics class here at my college.

Ray tracing is an advanced method for rendering 3D images. It simulates (in reverse) the physical transport of rays of light in a scene. It is a more expensive process than the rasterisation methods used in video games and almost all movies, but it can much more accurately generate effects such as reflection (mirrors) and refraction (light through glass).

The two images above do not display any of these more advanced features. In fact, the same images could probably have been produced almost exactly by a similar rasterisation engine. This engine will be improved in the next iteration. Expect triangles, reflective surfaces, and specular highlights. It needs to be done by Monday, so maybe not refraction just yet.

It was frustrating to write, but is really cool and I’ll post the source code as soon as I can. Enjoy. :)
