Hehe, take a look at the latest poll at the Euronews website:

http://www.euronews.com/



"Do you think you live in a corrupt country?" is the question, and over 85% of all answers say YES.
Just 13% say NO, and only 1% doesn't know.

So, here we can see, that the people in fact KNOW that their countries are Corrupt.
The rulers are corrupt, the banks are corrupt and the system is corrupt.

Here we have the finest examples of democracy: The Fine European Countries ...
But when you ask the people, 85% say without hesitation that their countries are Corrupt. :D

So, it's actually true folks; the Revolution is coming.
The PEOPLE KNOW that the system is corrupt.
And more importantly: they Know that Everyone else Knows this too.
And this Knowledge in turn gives them Courage, and a Moral Justification to take Rebellious actions.
Because they Know that the Majority of the People will support them.
The Gaze of the Overlords doesn't frighten them anymore.

Because they (K)now that (E)veryone (K)nows.
It's the "KEK formula".
The people KEK.
They KEK.

Hi everyone, this website has been down for a few days, but now it seems to be working again. :)

Ucoz has been under a massive DDOS attack since 6th of July, so almost all sites hosted by Ucoz have had problems for the last 7 days or so. And the attack is still going on I think, but it would seem that the worst is now over.

If interested, you can check out Ucoz server status here:
http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/3-14706-1

I don't know what the exact situation is right now, but the announcement there says that the attack is still going on, so it is possible that this site may suddenly become temporarily inaccessible again. But don't panic if that happens, it'll always come back. Let's hope for the best, I'm sure that Ucoz will fix all these problems soon.

EDIT:
Ok, looks like the attack has stopped now, so everything is back to normal again. :)

Ok, it now seems that after huge criticism from the public, Microsoft has actually decided to reverse the other half of it's XBox One strategy:
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/194649/Microsoft_pulls_big_180_with_Xbox_One_DRM_policy_reversal.php

The "always online / connect once in every 24 hours" - scheme has been abandoned, and also used games on physical discs will work normally, and apparently won't need any "re-activations" or "buy-it-agains" anymore.

So, wipe the tears from your eyes, citizens of Oceania; The Big Brother has heard our worries and lamentations, and has taken pity of us.
And look: Because of this, He has decided to be a little bit nicer to us, His methods are now less fearful, and it all now sounds "almost ok".
And so, suddenly a sense of relief and joy is now filling our minds, and look; now the Bone-Box Entertainment System looks almost acceptable in our eyes.

But it seems that the console still needs to have the Kinect camera/surveillance system to be installed into it, otherwise it won't work. So the spying aspect has not been dropped. So when you buy Xbox One, you'll still be installing a surveillance camera into your living room...or into your bed room, or wherever you decide to place your console. Just combine this with the PRISM surveillance program (Microsoft was the first company that joined it)...if "they" can have free access to your e-mails and phone calls, then they can also have free access to the Kinect's camera, and to all data (video, sound, motions, heartbeat, etc) that it has ever recorded since day One.

I believe that Kinect is the main reason why Xbox One was planned to be an "always online" console. This "always online" feature would have provided instant access to the camera feed, and so it would have been a perfect spying tool for the intelligence agencies. But now, because people didn't like the idea of "always online" and "24-hour check", they had to abandon this idea, and thus cannot fully use the Kinect's surveillance potential.

Also: why do you think that Microsoft is suddenly trying to sell you all this security stuff, to bring an "always online" security camera/monitoring device into your living room? Because in 2007 Microsoft joined the PRISM program; they were the first to join, as we can see from this chart:




I believe that around this time Microsoft and NSA decided to tighten their co-operation with one another, and so they decided to include the security device Kinect into their next generation console, the X-Box One.

Just read this wiki description about the Kinect again:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect 

Think about the meaning of this sentence near the end of that article:
" Unlike Kinect on the Xbox 360 (which is an optional accessory), the Xbox One console will not function unless the Kinect sensor is plugged in. However, users retain the software capability to turn off all Kinect functions while the sensor remains connected to the console. "

1. So, it can be "turned off", but you can never remove it.
2. If you remove it, the console won't work.
3. The previous generation console, Xbox 360, also had this device, and in it you could remove it, but in this new console you suddenly can't do that.

So, the console generation changes, and suddenly they're trying feed us a story that "the console won't work without the camera installed." And that: "you can turn it off, but you can't remove it" And: "don't worry, it doesn't spy on you".

Just how believeable this sounds?

So, the functions of the camera device are in fact not needed at all, because we can "turn it off"; so XBox One in fact works without it...but still we can never remove the camera device; because that is forbidden; they have on purpose made things so, that the Xbox One refuses to work if it doesn't find the camera device.

It is as ridiculous as if some company would suddenly start to sell a new computer, which would come with a web camera, and then they would tell us that "the computer doesn't work without the camera", and you would be forced to install this camera, otherwise you couldn't use you computer. Because the company has configured the computer so, that it checks for the camera, and if it doesn't find it, it refuses to work.

And if that would happen, then what do you think that the motivations of such company could be?
Especially if the company in question is known to have strong ties with the NSA?
The explanation is clear as day: they want to spy on you.
They want to force you to accept the camera, so that they can spy on you.
There is no other reason.

Version 5.3 Released

Ok, a new version is out again. :)

http://m484games.ucoz.com/index/m484gcs/0-34

This version corrects the "lost graphics after Screen Mode change" broblem, which happened to all images that were loaded from imagestrips. But now everything seems to work fine.

Also, I added one small feature called "Player XY Axis Lock", which allows you to "lock" the Players movement to a certain XY-axis.

Version 5.2 Released

I found a small bug from 5.1, and decided to fix it, so now the latest program version is v5.2; the download links have been updated.

Version 5.1 Released


Ok, I made some quick updates to the program, and so we are now at Version 5.1, you can get it here:
http://m484games.ucoz.com/index/m484gcs/0-34

This version fixes those 2 bugs that I noticed shortly after the release of v5.0.

Also, I decided to add some extra features too: The "Sub Weapons" feature has been activated, and "Player Action Button Transforms" were added. So now the Player can be given "action buttons", which activate sub weapons and transforms...this adds lots of new functionality to the Player Object. Also, these new things can have a graphical representation in the game panel; either "numbers" or "images" can be used for displaying them. But you can read a more detailed explanation about them from the program's manual. :)

This is "Gods of War" from Manowar.

I found the lyrics and the cover art symbolic, as if some greater meanings and messages would be hidden under the casual "power metal" exterior.

Firstly, the four swords form the letter "M".
Secondly, the lyrics sing about "we, who are born under the sign of the hammer".

I felt that there might be a connection between these things, so into the God's Calculator I write "HAMMER", and it gives me this sigil:



It's the letter "M".
And the number value is "348".

And this can be transformed into "78" by adding the first two numbers together:
348 ----- 3+4 = 7 ---- 78
And why is that significant?...Because if we just write the letter M into God's Calculator, we get the value "78".
So BOTH the sigil of "Hammer" and the value of "Hammer" strongly link to the letter "M".
Which I think is very important somehow.

Also, the value of the words "Sons of Odin" gives us "780".
Which is of course another "78".

Some other "high impact" words that also give the number "780" are:
Pythagoras      780
Golden Crown    780
Seventh Seal    780
Center of Brain 780

So, could the phrase "Sons of Odin" actually refer to the "Sons of Pythagoras"; those who are hiding in the shadows, guarding the secret knowledge from the ancient times, who wait for the day when the Gates of Valhalla are opened?

As Pythagoras himself taught: everything is composed out of mathematics, and this is the nature of the Reality itself...This means everything is connected to everything...

The "signs" of everything are contained in everything. Or more accurately; the "data" of all things is contained in everything, just like every cell contains the DNA of the whole organism...this is why the "signs of thing X" can be often found in most unexpected places, it is almost as if the universe would seem to randomly reflect itself in random places...and isn't that in fact the truth?

So, here it is, the new XBOX console, which is called "XBOX ONE".

The video above shows some highlights from the official unveiling ceremony.
And strangely, the focus seems to be on "TV"; apparently you can now watch television using your XBOX.
And on the gaming side: sports, sports, sports, and call of duty.
But no real surprises there.

---

But what is interesting here, and what most people don't realize, is the true nature of this product.
I think Xbox One is not only a game console, but also a "living room security device", designed for "customer control" and surveillance.

Why do I think so?
Because it introduces two totally new and frightening concepts for "home entertainment":


1. The console is bundled with a security camera, and won't work unless the camera is attached to it.



But because the security camera has been branded as a "cool product" called "Kinect", people will most likely gladly accept it, and install it in their living rooms:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect

And in fact it's more than just a security camera; in addition to the camera it has voice recognition, face recognition, motion sensors, night vision, and other things.

Here's an article which tells about it:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/192642/Xbox_One_designers_talk_shop_about_the_consoles_architecture.php

"  The Kinect 2.0 sensor's capabilities have also been overhauled, says Holmdahl. The Xbox One model, which will come packaged with the main console, will accommodate up to six bodies instead of two, closer proximity to the sensor, and face recognition. The sensor is in fact touted as being so fine-tuned as being able to monitor biometrics including heartbeat, and "tell when the player is lying."  "

"  It will also, according to IGN, be integral to the functionality of the Xbox One, to such extent that the console won't work without the Kinect attached.  "


So, there you have it.
It even works as a lying detector device, and the console itself won't work without it.
So after you have bought your console, you can't even use it unless you install this security device into it.

Compare this concept to the "telescreens" found in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescreen

"  Telescreens are most prominently featured in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four as well as all film adoptions of the novel, although notably they have an earlier appearance in the 1936 Charlie Chaplin film Modern Times. They are television and security camera-like devices used by the ruling Party in Oceania to keep its subjects under constant surveillance, thus eliminating the chance of secret conspiracies against Oceania.  "

"  Telescreens do not have night vision technology, thus, they cannot surveil in the dark. This is compensated by the fact that telescreens are incredibly sensitive, and they are said to pick up a heartbeat. As Winston describes, "...even a back can be revealing..."  "


Notice that "Telescreens do not have night vision technology"...
But don't worry, Kinect has!
(Although not direct night vision, but various instruments which allows it to see in low light conditions.)

---

And then:

2. You have to connect to the internet once a day, otherwise the console stops working.

Here:
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/192721/Xbox_One_isnt_alwayson_but_it_will_require_a_regular_connection.php

"  Xbox One players will not have to maintain a constant internet connection for single-player games, but they will have to connect once a day to keep playing at all, says Microsoft.

Speaking with Kotaku, Microsoft corporate vice president Phil Harrison said that performance should not be interrupted due to a temporarily lost connection, in most cases. However, Xbox One players will still need to check in online if they want to maintain access to their games.  "


So once in an every 24 hours, you must make an internet connection, so that the console can connect to Microsoft.
Even if the games you're playing don't have any online features, you still need to make a connection once a day, otherwise the games and the console stops working.

You may now think that "so what, everyone connects to the internet anyway at least once a day."
That's true, BUT:
We have never seen an "entertainment device" which STOPS WORKING or PUNISHES YOU, if you fail to "report back" to the "authorities" ONCE IN AN EVERY 24 HOURS.

Imagine now this situation:
- You buy an expensive game console from Microsoft.
- But in order to use that console, you have to "report" to Microsoft Once In A Day.
- Fail this for any reason, and the console stops working, and the only way to "activate" it again is to establish internet connection and sort of "report yourself".

And this is the Bottom Line: Fail the check, and you're punished.
You buy the console, you buy the game, but this is not enough; you have to report in once a day, or you can't play anything.
It's almost as if you have to beg them for the "right to play".
"Hi, it's me, your loyal customer, see, I have now made my daily connection, although I forget to do that yesterday, but I now I'm here, so could you please activate my console so that I can play?"

The only other occasion of a similar "daily check" requirement that I can think of, is for criminals that have been put under house arrest; in that form of punishment the person is put under electronic surveillance, and a "daily check" of some kind is made every day.

This even reminds me of the daily "Roll Call" procedures, that were used in nazi concetration camps:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appellplatz

"  The purpose of the roll calls was to count the prisoners, but also to inspect, humiliate, and intimidate them.  "

A daily "roll call", under the watchful eye of the Kinect...Welcome to the next generation of video gaming. :D

---

And if you still think that this is "quite OK" or "normal", then consider this:

What if your computer, cell phone, IPad or any other device would have a similar "daily check" requirement?
Fail to report in, and all your programs stop working, until you make your connection and "report to the overlords".

And one step further:
What if all other electronic devices in your house would be connected to a similar scheme?
Check in once every 24 hours, or else you fridge, microwave oven, central heating, car, and all other things will stop working.

And furthermore:
Your fridge, microwave oven or car wouldn't even work unless you first attach a security camera to them.
That would mean total control; you would be monitored on a daily basis, and to use your devices you would need a "daily blessing" from the corporations that made them.

---


--------------------------------------------


Okay, so now we have covered the "security features" of Xbox One.
But what about the actual games?

Well, I think one picture speaks more than a thousand words:




That is really a symbolic cover art picture.
Just look at that soldier, the hero of the game I suppose.
He looks away from us, and covers his eyes.
It's almost like a "facepalm" gesture, as if he would be ashamed of something.
Or maybe he is covering his eyes on purpose, so that Kinect cannot recognize his face?
Who knows?

--------------------------------------------

And finally, the name itself, "Xbox One".
Many have wondered why such an odd name was chosen.
This is the third XBox console, and their names so far have been "Xbox","Xbox 360",Xbox One".
So what is the logic in that?

Well, I think it is this:

"XBOX ONE" can be shortened to "XBONE".
Which in turn becomes "X BONE" = Two bones crossed.

Furthermore, God's Calculator tells us this:



The value of XBONE is "360".
This makes "XBox One" the Second "Xbox 360", or the "circle inside the circle".

Also, the sigil for "New World Order" looks like a box with a X inside it:



Which makes it an "X Box";
A "Box" with an "X" inside it,
An "X" living in a "Box",
Two Bones crossed in a Box,
The XBONE.

Here are the latest "programming news" :

Right now I'm making the Version 5.0 of the M484GCS, and it should be ready this month.

But it's hard to say exactly how much time it'll take...this depends on how much stuff I'll add into it.

I have written many papers filled with long lists of "missing features" and "planned upgrades", which I think still must be added to the program before I can consider it to be at "Gold Status"; which means = good enough to be used in serious projects. And I have been going through my papers, adding things in logical steps, and so we have now had about one or two version updates in every month, since the program first official release some 6 months ago.

And I think V5.0 will be the final update in this series.

So after V5.0 is released, focus will then be shifted into making actual games with the program. So at least for some time the development of the M484 Game Creation System itself will be paused at V5.0, and this version will then be used to make the "first generation" of "M484 Games".

And then we'll finally see if the program can actually do something else than just look funny and sit in the "Downloads" section of this website. :D
