Comment on 14 Awesome Homemade Board Games by Andy!

I made a board game that I think works really well too. It’s based on the final fantasy franchise. Some of my friends already played it and think its really fun but I want to expand my game to other players. I’m no professional but I think it looks pretty good too.

Comment on The Sentry – Good bye or good riddance? by imperfect?

I’m probably Sentry’s biggest fan there is :-) I think I can answer your question.

Sentry was more then normal readers could ever imagine.
He was better then Moses, better then Jesus – in fact, he was the next person who wielded their power.
When he took the Super-Soldier-Serum nothing extraordinary happened because of it. Colonel America took it too, but he wasn’t as powerful as the Sentry.
When the Sentry took it, something got unleased and he got boosted by it.
Do you remember the feats of Jesus?
He walked through a desert – he survived 40 days without food and water. Sentry also didn’t need to drink or eat.
Jesus healed a blind man and other people, while the Sentry healed a little girl who was in a traumatic state.
Jesus freed a man with 1000 demons in his bodies named Legion. The Sentry freed a man with 50 mutant abilities named the Collective.
Jesus came back from the dead … so did the Sentry, more then once.
Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him. The Sentry also know many things, since he was a telepath.
Before Jesus there was Moses who was splitting the sea and summoning creatures from the skies. Feats Sentry would have been able to duplicate aswell.

But the Sentry was not a sane man. He had his mental problems and in the end he decided to die – to sacrifice himself and to save the mankind.
Jesus also sacrificed himself – left and never returned.

That power they wielded – it came from a different reality where one million planets were exploding and reforming, all made by a bored entity named Destroyer Darkmass.
That power escaped that reality and merged with Robert Reynolds who became the Sentry. Sentry was powerful – too powerful for the universe. He was living one step ahead in the current timestream, creating a separate universe to co-exist.
He was strong at the beginning. But there were still his mental problems which created the Void. The Void didn’t stand a chance against the Sentry, so he had to form himself as a separate entity.
Later on when Sentry’s mental instability started to rise, his defenses against the Void got weaker and the Void was able to take over Sentry’s body. He didn’t appear as a separate entity anymore, no. Sentry’s eyes became black and he became the Void.
During the Dark Reign the Void took more and more control over the Sentry until it climaxed during the Siege, where the Void one-shotted simply everyone, until the heroes managed to weaken him somehow, Robert Reynolds took over again and decided to die.

The Sentry – Fallen Sun …
It was a great read for me. Of course it was cheesy and only there to hype the Sentry up even more, but … I liked it for a different reason.
I liked it because it displayed how Paul Jenkins was pissed at Bendis, who destroyed the character during the years.
Bendis tried to retcon the character, to make him weaker and more pathetic, just to profit from the Void when he wanted.
He managed to destroy the Sentry, but Jenkins managed to save the Sentry with Fallen Sun, since he basically retconned him again.
Sentry’s last apperance made things right again, since he let all the heroes remember the Sentry regularly, like they always did.
Paul Jenkins ignored nearly everything what was written about the Sentry after Sentry’s second Volume and then gave us Fallen Sun.

Of course it’s a bad read for people who didn’t like the Sentry, or simply didn’t have the luck to read his first Volumes, which were superb and brilliant – so that they only got the unstable, weak, pathetic version of him, where Sentry’s competence, skill and determination were ignored completely. I understand that.
And I also understand that they hate him because Jenkins ignored continuinity and hyped Sentry up even more in the Marvel universe.

But still … it’s just the way the character was written.
It’s not a correct thing to hate the character because of that. You should only hate the decisions which were made.
I for example hate the decisions Bendis made about the Sentry.
Bendis is a good writer. He explained everything very well during the years about the Sentry. Most of the things made sense, it’s just that they were decisions which destroyed the character I (we?) used to love and turned him into something he was not and the decision to finally kill him in the end.

Thanks for reading.

Comment on 20 Incredible Tributes to Steve Jobs by Zakk Forchilli

He was such an amazing man. Wether or not anyone notices it, Apple WILL suffer from the loss of him.

Even though he had retired not too long before his death, I’m sure he would have still been quite influential to everything Apple related. He left Apple behind, but I don’t think Apple left HIM behind.

I’m sure that at some point, Steve would have been consulting, or at least having a final word (or a good word at least) on some of the things Apple would be doing at the time.

He’s done way too much for that company to completely leave it behind. I’d like to know what he had planned for the rest of his life. Or what he WOULD have planned if his disease wasn’t stripping his life away from beneath him.

One of the most innovative people on this earth, one of our greatest visionaries, a man that loved to work, sure wouldn’t just STOP working on the things he loved just like THAT.. I feel like we would have seen some amazing things come from Steve Jobs in the future. It’s just too bad.

Comment on Mac vs. Windows – It's All About The "Maximize" Button by maxforever

I would have bought at least 7 iMacs in the last 4 years including Lion Server, but I don’t understand why I cannot maximise a screen using a simple double-click on the application’s title bar. It’s such an intuitive action following on from a double-click to open an application! Clearly the programmers at Apple are deliberately and demonstratively excluding the possibility that a GUI can be utilised intuitively in more ways than one or the creative powerhouse has simply exhausted its common-sense imagination!

I like to see as much data and features and functions as possible on my spreadsheets (with statistic plug-ins that aren’t available on the Mac) or programming interfaces or databases or graphic design screens, because I do very detailed work and I use up all the space I can get on the screen. Using 1 window maximised at a time I often have 20-35 windows open at any given moment for my forensic research work or programming of complex functions, and I work on 2 or 3 computers concurrently from 1 desktop to manage demanding tasks and to avoid 1 machine being inaccessible while the other is doing a simulation or graphic rendering. I switch between those simply by using ALT+TAB. Minimising all windows is fast with WIN+M. File Explorer is easy with WIN+E. Saving a file CTRL+S. etc. There is also the simple 1 right-click option to align 2 or more windows vertically or horizontally in equal parts on the screen!

What I fund puzzling on the Mac is the separation of the Menu bar from the application window; why fragmenting the user interface instead of consolidating its functions?

I also don’t understand why the dock cannot be moved to the top of the screen like I can do with the Task bar in Windows. I find that for space reasons the bottom of the screen should not be used up by the dock (and it’s the 3rd feature panel aside from the Menu bar and the application bar), and looking down at it so many times encourages the head and neck to bend down instead of staying straight!

And what’s the story with Mac users always referring to using the keyboard and the mouse together (using both hands) for doing quick steps when in Windows shortcuts can be accessed by standard in every app with 1 hand?!

Or why do the Apple displays have to be so shiny as to reflect one’s white shirt or background lights when truly it’s much healthier and more relaxing for the eyes to use the computer with a non-reflective screen? I for one have 2 precious eyes only that I’d like to keep safe, it’s just common sense!

Finally, people say the Mac is faster but I have yet to see a Mac in action which is nano-seconds faster than Windows in rendering certain basic recurring GUI functions (open app, max window, show right click options).
