Gears of War

March 25th, 2007 by NerdyNick

Well I can finally say I have beat Gears of War. Yes!

I was finally able to sit down and find some time today to play some videos games. So as you know I decided to pick Gears of War sense its probable one of the newer games that I own. I picked up were I had left off with the infamous battle with Ramm (The End Boss). I had been trying to beat him on my own for a while but as we all know the AI in most games just sucks ass. This time though was diffrent I didn’t have AI to worry about because I had Taylor over to help me kick this guys ass.

Once we got back into the groove of playing Gears of War we managed to beat his ass with no problem at all. The ending was great to we managed to get one of us at one end of the train and the other at the other end of the train. We had Raam so confused at who to go after that for a while he just stood there. He finally went after Taylor which opened up a hole for me to just let loose on him with shotgun shells and grenades. It finally came down to him getting so close to Taylor that he had to jump out of his spot and start running back to me. As soon as he did that Raam turned around at started chasing after him. We almost thought he was done for then I managed to score some nice shots in as Taylor was running back that dropped Raam to the ground. It was one of the senses from a movie. You know the ones where the guy comes running out as the building blows but this time it was the guy running as bullets go flying over his head and a giant ugly mother falls to the ground dead.

It feels so great to finally have another game under the belt and to have had enough time to sit down a play a game. So now its time to sit and play another one. This time its the old classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Arcade game.

Prototype JS and IE 7

March 19th, 2007 by NerdyNick

So I found a problem with Prototype in IE 7 with he Element.hasAttribute() method. It appears prototype doesn’t add the method very well in IE 7 to the element. Specifically the problem where I was having problems was when I would pass “this” on a anchor tag onClick event.

The solution I found that seems to work well is to take the element that is passed into the function and wrap $() around the element.

Example:

<a onClick=”myFunction(this); return false;”>Link</a>

<script>
function myFunction(element){
   element = $(element);
   if(element.hasAttribute(’href’))
      //do something
}
</script>

Hope this helps a lot of people out.
