Exclusive: South Park's First Ever Deleted Scene

Posted by JediLlama 1 day 17 hours ago in Entertainment (http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com)
Sometimes deleted scenes are cool, but often they're kind of a disappointment. "Oh yeah, I guess I can see why they cut out this 15-minute montage of Iron Man preparing and eating a pastrami hoagie." I don't know if that's why the upcoming South Park: The Complete Thirteenth Season is going to be the series' first DVD set to include deleted scenes, but I do know that from the looks of this one, it was worth the wait.

Matt Stone & Trey Parker Are Not Your Political Allies (No Matter What You Believe)

Posted by JediLlama 7 days ago in Entertainment (http://www.huffingtonpost.com)
It's hard to believe there's anything these men don't say. They've taken on everything from abortion to molestation to cat orgies over the past 13 years and have not been delicate about it. They've only been censored once and that was during the Muhammad cartoon uproar last year, when they tried to insert a picture of the Islamic holy figure into their show.

Quake 3 ported to Android

Posted by JediLlama 13 days ago in Entertainment (http://code.google.com)
When I received a Motorola Milestone phone, I wanted to get into Android development. I had seen ports of Quake3 to the iphone and the N900 which have similar specifications (all use a similar CPU and the PowerVR GPU), so I thought why not bring Quake3 to Android. As a start point I used the N900 version of ioquake3. It only took me a day to get the game to compile and to load the Quake3 main-function. After that it took me a few more days to get OpenGL and some input working. In the weeks following the initial port I added touchscreen support, networking and sound.
