AVWW Beta 0.524, "Lieutenant Battle Rock," Released!

[Hyfrydle]

I have one five year old an one three year old a real handful at times so escapism to my pc is a must it keeps me sane. I'm sure I'll enjoy the party. How bad can it get fifteen kids running around screaming bit like a boss fight in AVWW.

Just don't get tempted to bring out death touch and I'm sure it will be fine.

As long as you have enough mana, there's finally a use for the spells to change the time of day.  Just push the clock forward to night time when you've had as much as you can take and send them to bed.  Either that or use some decoy fireworks as a distraction and make a break for it.  Heh.

I think I found the special somethings, and the moment I saw them I thought "I gotta get me some of those!".

Needless to say, I took several of them home with me.

Didn't find the special something yet but all this teasing is killing me. At least, I know where to search now.

Sorry about not getting the release out yesterday with more of the somethings. My keyboard died about an hour before I was finished, and I couldn't get it fixed. Will have a new one today and will push out the release tonight. Very frustrates with it -- that was only a two month old Razer Lycosa. But now I can't hit spacebar with any reliable result, making coding near impossible. I think I'm going to get a ma keyboard and use it on my pc; there are very few keyboards I like, but I loved the Lycosa until the spacebar broke. Apparently that is a common problem with them, to judge from the Internet. Anyway, writing from m phone at the moment.

FINALLY figured it out. I was having no luck in finding the new feature! But, when I did finally find it, it was pretty cool!

Part of the reason I didn't go with Razer for my new mouse was their unreliable build quality.

Hell, who'm I kidding. That was pretty much entirely the reason.

I had 1 razor mouse and it broke within 3 months.. so yeah, since then its the G11 and MX518 for me all the way. Keyboard survives everything, nice clacking, no mushy buttons, and the MX518 is the best mouse that exists.

I just got an apple wired keyboard that works great with my PC, so since I've always loved the feel of the apple keyboards that works out well for me.  The sole two downsides are: 1) no backlighting, and 2) no printscreen key.  But I can deal with that.

For a mouse I have a Razer DeathAdder, and knock on wood it's been reliable for me for about a year.  I always used a MS Intellimouse for the decade before that, and I love the way the DeathAdder feels like a logical next step from that.  Here's hoping it holds up better than the keyboard.
