New Civil Warcraft maps

I've added some new maps to Civil Warcraft -- The Battle of Oak Grove and the Battle of Mechanicsville. These are the first two battles of the Seven Days Battles.


Update:
I've added yet another map -- The Battle of Gaines' Mill -- to Civil Warcraft. So far I've finished 4 of the 7 battles of the peninsula campaign. Even more exciting, I've finally figured out how to make water that people can walk thru, and Gaines' Mill has a huge swamp in the middle!



Update II:
I've added a map for the Battle of Savage's Station, another of the Seven Days Battles. It's a rearguard action, a small fight, but it was fun to put in all the flies and the corpses of Union soldiers that had been left behind in the previous days' retreat.



Update III:
Thank God for holiday weekends and TV marathons! Nicole and I are watching Twin Peaks and The Sopranos (alternating every other disc) and I have tons of time for making Civil Warcraft maps. Thus -- The Battle of Frayser's Farm (also known as the battle of Glendale). Now available at civilwarcraft.harveylovesharvey.com.



Update IV:

One more map -- The Battle of Malvern Hill -- the last of the Seven Days.

Twitter

Hey Matt,
I was reading an article about twitter in wired and how it kind of made the author have a subconscious link to the friends he subscribed to. He knew when he got together with that person what minutiae they had been up to the past week or so.
I liked this idea of kind of keeping up with each others lives almost unconsciously. You did your laundry, or watched this movie or celebrated an anniversary.

maybe it's useful for civil war? I think maybe more for harvey, not even as a piece but just to keep up with each other in a ridiculous way.

1st Annual HLH Christmas Party a success!

I can honestly say the first annual xmas party was a success. We could have stayed honestly for a long time, no one was going to botherus. Even the passed out drunk guy in the corner didn't even get up. Next year it could be even bigger and better. We could move to other ATM's or other public spaces.
Me and Hajoe had a great conversation about public and private space and surveillance but it was a loud party and it didn't make it on the video.
Hope you can make it next year!

Football picks - 12/21/07

So, here is what I did:

I took the book I am currently reading, The Battles for Spotsylvania Courthouse and the Road to the Yellow Tavern by Gordon Rhea and started with the page where my bookmark is (p. 71). Beginning with the first full paragraph, I marked each NEW person mentioned. If they were from the Federals, I marked column A, if they were Confederates I chose from B.

Here are the results:

B - Pvt Dame, Richmond Howitzers
A - Genl Wainright
A - Genl Buell
A - Genl Warren
A - Genl Hancock
A - Genl Sedgewick
A - Genl Meade
B - Genl Anderson
B - Genl Ewell
A - Maj Hyde
A - Gel Wright
A - Genl Davies
B - Genl Kershaw
A - Col Lyman
A - Lt.Genl Grant

Here are the football picks for this week:

Dallas at Carolina

Kansas City at Detroit
Cleveland at Cincinnati
Green Bay at Chicago
NY Giants at Buffalo
Houston at Indianapolis
Atlanta at Arizona
Tampa Bay at San Francisco
Baltimore at Seattle

Now I want to use the civil war somehow, what I'm thinking is pick a date in the war and the A column is the north and B is the south. starting with whatever arbitrary date you pick follow battles and whoever won historically, pick the team..email sawyer. cc me.

Football instructions for 12/16/07

OK, I know that you have a lot of golf games for your various gaming systems. So, here are the instructions:

Play a round of golf on your Xbox or Playstation. For each hole you play, choose from the A column if you are under par, and the B column if you are over par.

If you play hit par, then choose A if your opponent is over par, and B if our opponent is under par.

If both you and the computer hit par, then the hole does not count.

Play until you get enough choices to pick all teams.

Document all results.

P.S. I can't wait for the ATM party next weekend!

Football pix for dec 6

Here they are:

More Unwound...

Weird timing... I was working on this today when you posted Mike's new cut below. Lot's of Unwound for the fans.

Here is Unauthorized Biography:

Mike's cut - corpse pose

Damn I like Mike's cut, he did an amazing job, even matching the music to cut's. It realy feel like a music video. If this was going to air on MTV5, I'd use this one.

Football instructions, week whatever

Here are the new instructions for picking football teams for next week (go Pats!) --

I know you have a drawer full of take-out menus. To pick teams, remove the menus from the drawer in order, and look at the phone number of the restaurant. If the last digit is odd, pick the team from the A column, if it is even then choose B. Do this until you have selected all teams. Post all documentation here.
