World of Warcraft Siege of Orgimmar

September 13, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

Hey Warcraft fans, if you have been out of the loop or have been unsubscribed for a while you may have missed that earlier this week Blizzard went live with patch 5.4, Siege of Orgrimmar. This patch packs in a lot of new features and enhancements including:

  • A repeatable solo scenario for level 90 players called the “Proving Grounds”
  •  Flexible Raid Difficulty
  • Connected Realms- which will permanently link two realms together for a better overall experience for less popular realms.
  • A new pet battle tournament called the Celestial Tournament
  • A new land called the Timeless Isle
  • New Shiny Amor Sets

The tensions stoked by Garrosh Hellscream’s arrogance have reached a boiling point with the devastation unleashed upon the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Now it’s time for leaders of the Alliance and Horde to lay siege to Hellscream’s capital and topple the ruthless Warchief once and for all!”

For complete feature overview on patch 5.4, head over to Blizzard’s official page.

How To Connect Your PS3 Controller to Your PC

September 8, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr 1 Comment

There are many ways to control your favorite games on a PC including the old keyboard and mouse. Some gamers have become very comfortable with the Playstation controller, which is understandable because it has a great design and has been around for a long time. In fact the Playstation controller was originally released on December 3, 1994 and has very few changes to it’s design since.ps3Controller

So is it possible to use a console controller with a PC?

Yes, but you will need a Playstation 3 controller (DualShock 3 or Sixaxis), a third party driver from MotionJoy and preferably a bluetooth enabled computer or at least an adapter.

The easiest way to get things up and running after you obtain the latest driver from MotionJoy is to follow the great tutorial video above. If you need any additional help refer to the help section on the MotionJoy site as it will contain the most up-to-date information.

How To Make an LED Cube

August 31, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

This is a great build video for an 8x8x8 LED cube by Kevin Darrah that I stumbled upon on the web. It goes over the basic build techniques  and shows you how to utilize a jig for assembling the LED arrays. As you watch the video you will quickly begin to realize that this project is not for the entry-level builder, clearly this is something that will consume a lot of your time and patience but the end result is awesome. Either way, it’s interesting to see how it all comes together.Blue LED in a cube

There are many Arduino builds out there that can be great for beginners. If you’re not familiar with Arduino then I highly recommend that you read this introduction to Arduino, it covers everything you will need to get up-to-speed on what it’s all about.

You can find many projects in the Arduino Playground, they include schematics and code to help you build cool stuff. If you want to make a much more novice-friendly 3×3 LED Cube you can use these schematics and code.

So what are you waiting for? Find a project and get building!

ASCII Art Generator

August 30, 2013 by Richard Vincenti Jr Leave a Comment

ASCII stands for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange and it is a code that represents English characters as numbers in computers. There are a total 128 characters in standard ASCII and many of them can be used to create ASCII art, which is created by using the 95 printable characters out of the total 128.ASCIIHeart

You can easily piece together your own ASCII art by simply opening any text editing program but if you want a quick way to turn ordinary text strings into an ASCII art masterpiece, then check out this awesome Text to ASCII Art Generator by Patorjk.com.

Here’s an example of what one style of ASCII text art looks like. There are tons of different styles to choose from and there are even options to change format output.


 

/$$   /$$           /$$ /$$                 /$$      /$$                     /$$       /$$
| $$  | $$          | $$| $$                | $$  /$ | $$                    | $$      | $$

|__/  |__/ \_______/|__/|__/ \______/       |__/     \__/ \______/ |__/      |__/ \_______/

You can also create images by using ASCII characters, you can use a picture to ASCII converter like Picascii. You can either enter a URL or upload an image to convert it to ASCII Art. There are even options for size and color plus an HTML formatter to ensure it looks correct when posting the art elsewhere.

Move over World of Warcraft, It’s LEGO time!

Well almost, the MMORPG style LEGO Minifigure game, which was initially announced last year, now has a trailer that shows off some of what’s to come and I have to say that I’m pretty excited about how things are shaping up.

LEGO Minifigures Online will allow you to do much of what you would expect from an online game including gaining experience, leveling up, customizing your characters, going on adventures and exploring new worlds, but all inside the LEGO world.

The game does not currently have a release date but it is scheduled to be available sometime in 2014 for Android, iOS and PC. You can view screenshots and get the latest details about this game by heading directly to LEGO’s website.
