I think it is bad. The spacing of objects could be more pleasing. The "art" is something that a programmer might use for placeholder art. The pixels are different sizes in different places on the card. Most of the text is hard to read cause the characters are all the same size, and is so close together. Your email is a little on the long side. The bar under your name is too long compared to all the other ones. It took way too long to figure out that the weird looking A is supposed to be your initials, and even then it looks more like a PL than an AL. Downvote me for being harsh, but this is my honest opinion. And when I ask for input I would rather get some overly harsh opinion than just "Oh that looks great!" because the latter is just not helpful.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/pg7ql/what_is_something_slightly_evil_that_you_take/c3p68u0http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/pg7ql/what_is_something_slightly_evil_that_you_take/c3p68u02012-02-08T18:07:39.772028+00:00-0700Jokes on you, if you throttle your upload speed too much, your download speed suffers. Oh and by the sounds of it, you are not on any private trackers. Private trackers have all the files approved by the staff, so you know that you are not downloading any malicious code. Also private trackers are much faster because so many people seed. I constantly max out my 50mbps line on my private trackers.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/pg7ql/what_is_something_slightly_evil_that_you_take/c3p67ejhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/pg7ql/what_is_something_slightly_evil_that_you_take/c3p67ej2012-02-08T18:04:27.146541+00:00-0700I'll take 5 Big Macs, a large order of fries and 2 large moca frappes.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pgi1o/does_this_ui_make_sense_tower_selection/c3p64e5http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pgi1o/does_this_ui_make_sense_tower_selection/c3p64e52012-02-08T17:57:36.431064+00:00-0700For selecting, sure it works nicely.

Most of the time I play mobile games is when I am a passenger in a vehicle. And the turning of vehicle makes the game unplayable.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/battlefield3/comments/pegto/am_i_doing_something_wrong_with_the_mav/c3ooz5ehttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/battlefield3/comments/pegto/am_i_doing_something_wrong_with_the_mav/c3ooz5e2012-02-07T02:31:34.111243-07:00-0700Increase your field of view. Higher FOV gives the illusion of faster speed. Unplug your joystick. An xbox controller on the ground might be causing your forward speed to not be 100%.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pearq/since_i_missed_the_global_game_jam_i_decided_to/c3onu3ehttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pearq/since_i_missed_the_global_game_jam_i_decided_to/c3onu3e2012-02-06T23:19:21.817793-07:00-0700I got 5041 distance.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pdvle/rylod_dev_update_quick_video_of_combat_with_two/c3onoeyhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pdvle/rylod_dev_update_quick_video_of_combat_with_two/c3onoey2012-02-06T22:58:10.927021-07:00-0700Well they don't have to have the same graphics. I would suggest making the enemy bullets larger and slower so they can be dodged, but make the player bullets extremely fast. It adds a challenge to dodging bullets instead of just staying out of sight. While faster player bullets are rewarding when taking on tons of guys at once.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/battlefield3/comments/pdlq5/the_awkward_moment_when_everybody_shoots_at_the/c3omjhxhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/battlefield3/comments/pdlq5/the_awkward_moment_when_everybody_shoots_at_the/c3omjhx2012-02-06T20:46:47.820923-07:00-0700How do you know he is not low on grenades, m320s or Mass shells?http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pdx40/2d_graphics_programming_double_buffering_and_etc/c3ollb7http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pdx40/2d_graphics_programming_double_buffering_and_etc/c3ollb72012-02-06T19:03:12.456986-07:00-0700Record a video? It could be motion blur from your screen. Or it could be from drawing pixels to non whole integer positions which could make things change size by one pixel randomly.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pdvle/rylod_dev_update_quick_video_of_combat_with_two/c3olgkmhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pdvle/rylod_dev_update_quick_video_of_combat_with_two/c3olgkm2012-02-06T18:48:57.489777-07:00-0700I think the health is too high for both the players and the robots. Also the robots should need line of sight to go after the player; they should not "know" where the player is at all times. The bullets are near invisible. Try unfocusing your eyes just a little bit and the bullets are impossible to see. You could make the bullets have tracers to see them better. The bullets are a bit slow as well. Enemy bullets are more fun when you can dodge them, but the player bullets should be faster to make up for the fact that its 1 versus many enemies.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pcz9w/paper_story_game_ive_began_to_make/c3oddjdhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pcz9w/paper_story_game_ive_began_to_make/c3oddjd2012-02-06T01:49:53.902603-07:00-0700Kind of hard to see everything.

As in every single gameplay element, to the menu design, to the levels themselves all copied over with "new" graphics.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pcfor/java_static_variables_use_in_programming/c3o8s8vhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pcfor/java_static_variables_use_in_programming/c3o8s8v2012-02-05T16:50:37.434425-07:00-0700In some programming environments, the auto-complete shows different icons next to static variables. Static functions are faster that dynamic functions, and you can only use static variables, or variables passed to the function for them. I think static variables are faster when used but I am not sure. You know that static variables never need to be changed after you initialize them, so you don't have to worry about messing with them later on in the code. There are more reasons but these are just some of the reasons I use static variables.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pc6bk/i_would_like_to_learn_how_to_develop_a_basic/c3o7r6hhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/pc6bk/i_would_like_to_learn_how_to_develop_a_basic/c3o7r6h2012-02-05T14:58:40.028221-07:00-0700Sure, but some amazing games have been created with them.

The implementation is the hard part. Also at this very moment there is probably someone working on a similar game as you are.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Android/comments/pb2eh/android_headed_to_the_us_government_and_military/c3ny40thttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Android/comments/pb2eh/android_headed_to_the_us_government_and_military/c3ny40t2012-02-04T16:21:53.478513-07:00-0700Uhhh. Android is open source, meaning the military could build their own device or contract a company to build a device. They can get whatever specifications they need.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/paqja/game_devs_im_a_artist_seeking_tips_on_how_to/c3ny28vhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/gamedev/comments/paqja/game_devs_im_a_artist_seeking_tips_on_how_to/c3ny28v2012-02-04T16:16:16.053848-07:00-0700Game Dev's what?http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/pawy6/i_was_just_told_alcohol_weakens_glass_by_a/c3nxub4http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/pawy6/i_was_just_told_alcohol_weakens_glass_by_a/c3nxub42012-02-04T15:51:32.231507-07:00-0700But its true.

You can also sun brew the tea. Place a bunch of teabags in a large glass container and leave in the sun for a few hours, remove tea bags, add sugar and stir, add ice to cool down, and BAM iced tea.
