The Walking Dead - Asshole Edition Episode 4

It took a while, but I have finally finished editing and uploading Episode 4 of my series in The Walking Dead game. This was a ton of fun to do, so if you have the time, please have a view! Regarding the rest of the series, I plan on finishing Episode 5 and 400 Days on the Xbox 360, then starting Season 2 on Xbox One. Hopefully the footage will be a lot faster in terms of loading screen so there’s not too much to cut out. ...

PHP Grind

After my most recent bout with PHP and Laravel trying to apply to Rooster Teeth, I thought the best idea for me would be to start from the beginning. I’m currently reading a textbook about PHP and MySQL to help build my base around scripting and database language, then start working my way up to a complete understanding of Laravel. Hopefully it won’t take too long so that I can add this to my list of skills. I’m also thinking it may fix up my website a bit, writing a few more scripts to load up my page. I think the only PHP scripts I have thus far are the ones to load my navigation bar and my footer so that it’s consistent for every main page, minus this blog. ...

Rooster Teeth is Hiring Web Devs - Thoughts

Source: www.roosterteeth.com Film production company and Internet presence, Rooster Teeth Productions recently posted about the company looking for web developers. A company I have been following for a few years now and obviously I would jump at the opportunity to apply. Their application process was definitely the best thing ever. All we had to do was to clone a repository posted on GitHub and get it working. The rest would be clear after that. It certainly was. Obviously I’m not going to give any answers out here. It’s a real test of your analytical skills, understanding of the languages and frameworks presenting, and your drive and motivation to learn and pick up new material. It also helps them as a company to only get applicants who meet their criteria by actually getting the repository to work. Really great idea to go about it. ...

Halo: The Master Chief Collection HYPE!

Source: www.halowaypoint.com The HYPE! is real! 13 years of gaming will come first circle tomorrow when Halo: The Master Chief Collection releases on Xbox One. I’ve been playing Halo since the first one on the original Xbox in 2001 and I’ve really grown to appreciate not only the game play, but the overall story as well. I’ve been reading the novels and I absolutely love the expanded universe. What I’m more excited about is the Halo 2 mulitplayer. This is the only multiplayer I never got a chance to play online because I never got Xbox Live until early 2011. So I finally get to experience the multiplayer that really revolutionized matchmaking for the future that is today and beyond. ...
