Mandelbrot Set HD Wallpaper Gallery

These are some images of the Mandelbrot set I generated this weekend using Fractal Explorer. Although it's a great program, it relies on double math and so can only achieve precision in zooms of about 10^15, which is really terrible to be quite honest.

If anyone knows of some better software it would really help me out; I'm looking to break the 10^200 zoom barrier in Mandelbrot zooming.

Here is the gallery, hope you like it:

Playing Resident Evil 2

I've played (beat) through Resident Evil and Silent Hill for the first time this week, and I find myself wondering why I never played any of these games before. The only answer that makes any sense is so I could play them right now. Both games were intense and amazing (don't let my Silent Hill review fool you). I plan on playing at least the first 3 games in both franchises, but I don't know if some of the later Resident Evils and Silent Hills look that interesting. I'm not really into games much recently. Hitting that X button gets old.

But for now, the epic saga continues with Resident Evil 2, watch it on twitch.tv/Robot2600

The broadcast will go live as soon as I post this, and last a few hours. 

Star Quest Wallpaper 1440 x 900

Download this cool Star Quest wallpaper. Star Quest is a free, indie, meta-video game. It is about video games, it contains many games inside of it, and of course, it's also a game itself.

With huge amounts of secrets that I'm pretty sure have never been found, Star Quest has at least 20 hours of gameplay for the first time player. Like Myst, if you know the solutions you could speedrun it much, much faster.

You won't be bogged down with leveling up or experience. You explore the world at your own pace, do things how you want to do them. Your quest is simple enough: stop the Scientist and recover your memory.

You'll need the help of Princess, King, and Lobtron if you are going to succeed. 

Also:

-Collect quarters to access the arcade machines. 

-Solve the puzzles to unlock more machines. 

-Hang out in shady arcades.

-Think about why adventure games are fun

-Talk to 100s of NPCs

-Make ethical decisions

-Explore a huge sci-fi/fantasy world that feels familiar and unique at the same time 

-Slowly realize the sinister undertones of the entire planet...

Forsaken World Wallpaper Gallery

I found these wallpapers on a Russian website. They are promo art for a free-to-play MMORPG, Forsaken World. I haven't played the game, but they sure know how to make a wallpaper.

You can click each image for a bigger version, or right-click and "save as." Depending upon your browser, google might make the image appear way too big.

I like the baraoque style, reminds me of Soul Calibur. Good stuff.

New Let's Play FTL Series Starts Today!

I was making a ton of FTL videos, and I realized that I need to standardize the number system and decide if deaths should stay in the videos. I am going to leave all the deaths in the footage, not just post good runs with ships. The Basalisk run I posted yesterday is a "good run" but if you start watching the series below, you'll see me fuck it up a few times and explode some perfectly nice spaceships.

The "space girl" wallpaper is made by an anonymous artist. You can check out the funnyjunk page here if you like.

Also, I have full video and recording capabilities now.... if you'd like to see some LPs now would be a good time to ask.
