How to: Organize and Group Video in iPad, iPhone and Other iOS Devices

Guide on how to Organize Video on Apple iPad, iPhone and other iOS Devices

This is a small guide on how to organize and group your favorite videos in your iPad, iPhone, iPod and other iOS devices (to sort different shows and categories for example).
iTunes and iOS devices does not allow user to group their video in folders. But there is a way to sort them in "folder" by simply change them into TV Show.


Here is how
Step 1)
Make sure you have latest version of iTunes installed in your computer.
You can download at: http://www.apple.com/itunes/


Step 2)
Open up your iTunes and locate your video. By default, your video should be in 'Movie' tab.


Step 3)
Select videos you wanted to make as group and do Right-click > Get Info or Command+i (Mac), Ctrl+i (Windows).
This will bring video info window out. Go to 'Video' tab and fill your video category name in 'Show'. You can also add season number if you want to.

In this case I have Bleach episode, so I filled 'Show's name as 'Bleach' and its season number.


(Optional) You can sort which video you want to play first without renaming video. Simply go to 'Info' tab and add track number for each video.



Step 4)
Go to 'Options' tab and set your video to 'TV Show'. This will convert your video to TV Show and group your videos together.


Step 5)
Watch the magic and enjoy your grouped video.

This is what I get after I sync them to iPad

How to play Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty offline
This is a small guide on how to play Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty offline, an amazing game developed by Blizzard. I have seen some people having troubles to playing Starcraft II without login into Battlenet. There are two ways, legally or install extra 3rd party program. Let's take a look.


What you need
Before proceed, you are required to have:

• A retail copy of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty with authentication key or digital download from Blizzard. (Please, no piracy)
  
• Battlenet account (register here if you don't have one.)

Starcraft II installation
Skip this step if you have already installed Starcraft II.

1. Install your Starcraft II, you are required to connect to the internet before the installation else the installer will not starts and error message may show up.
2. You may prompted to register battlenet and activate game using the account, register here if you don't have one.
3. Installation takes about 30 minutes or more, be patient.
4. Auto patcher will pop up after the installation, it will connect to the internet and download all latest Starcraft II patches.
5. Once it is done, you're ready to go for the next step!

(a) How to play Starcraft II offline (Legally)

Now we will need to authorize game client first before it can be played offline.

1. To do that, simply enter the game and login with your battlenet account. Follow on-screen instruction to create a game account (if you don't have one).
   
2. Once you entered Welcome Page, hit 'menu' and click on 'logout' to return Starcraft II login menu.
3. Click on 'Play as Guest' (located at left side of the screen) and you're now able to play Starcraft II offline including campaign and v.s AI mode.

Note that 'Play as Guest' requires you to authorize your game client by login to your battlenet account. Offline games will not give you achievement unless you play on battlenet. The game does not come with skirmish maps, you may required to download them from several game rooms created by other player in online multiplayer mode.



(b) Another way to play Starcraft II offline

Follow this steps if you don't want to connect to battlenet to authorize game client around.

1. You will need SC2Allin1 legit Starcraft II launcher to launch the game in offline mode, click here to download.
2. Follow the installation guide on the website and be sure check out technical support if you have any problem with the installation.
3. The launcher will not able to run for certain people, this is probably caused by .net framework problem or install without running as administrator (Windows Vista & 7). Please check technical support section for solution.
   

Using this tool allows you to launch Starcraft II Skirmish mode completely without internet access or authorizing game client at battlenet, which allows you to play Starcraft II anywhere, anytime, without damaging game client. However it does not include campaign mode (for this time).



You're Done
That's all and now you are able to play your favorite Starcraft II offline, hope it helps.

Warcraft III Editor Basics

A short guide to those who are new in Warcraft III map editing. If you are new and not sure how to start with, this guide may help you out (I hope)

Intro
Warcraft III Editor is a great map editor which allow you to customize almost every aspects in the game. You can create your own custom games. Just like Defend of the Ancient (DotA), it is a custom game too. You can change units HP, creating a new unit, rename them and much more!

Before start a project
New people should try to make a simple map first. Try messing around with units, placing them into a map. Always start with simple things first, do not start with massive project like DotA, Hero Defense or something because it is very complicated if you don't get the basic right.

Start a simple map
A new map maker should start with opening an existing Warcraft melee maps. Add some custom units, items, custom abilities and such. These can be done by opening Object editor. For example you can change Flame Strike damage by opening Ability tab in Object Editor and change the value of 'Damage', experience yourself by placing a Blood Mage and try it out in game.

Trigger
I believe trigger will be a challenge for a starter. Triggers are an alternative method of controlling gameplay, it is a simplified programming language with a graphical interface. They have been designed to be simple enough for novice users, yet they can control almost any aspect of gameplay. For example, if you want to create some units in an area, give an item to a hero, set Hero mana. These can be done by using a trigger. If you notice, Trigger consist of Event, Condition and Action, what does it mean?

Event

The trigger will run when an event occur, you must have an event in order to run a trigger. Some time you run a trigger from other trigger without an event.

Condition
A condition is a requirement so that a trigger will fire, trigger will run if all the conditions are true. You can also have a 'Or' condition as well if you wish to fire a trigger with either one condition is true. A trigger with Event and actions but without a condition will work, except some.

Action
Nothing much to explain here, basically one or more action will be taken after condition is met.

Example of a Simple Trigger


I made an Event when A unit Dies. I want to specify which unit dies before I perform an action, in this case I set any Footman as my dying unit. If the condition is met (Footman is dead), then an action will be performed, here I create 1 Footman at centre of the map for Player 1.

Overall we can say that if a Footman dies then a new Footman will spawn at the centre of the map. Of course you can set where your Footman spawn too, simply create a region anywhere in the map.

Closure
Feel free to play with the editor, as you can learn the basics in the same time. Try your best to make some simple triggers. Keep practicing, until you're ready to start a real project.

How to spam in Starcraft I

This my tips on how to win in Starcraft for noobs a.k.a newbies by spamming units, but there is no guarantee for winning. :)
There are 3 factions in Starcraft which are Terran, Zerg and Protoss. Each of them have their pros and cons, if you know how to play them correctly then you'll definitely win the game.



Terran
The Brainless human.

• The 'Supple Depot'. Build a line of supply depots to block a path and few bunkers behind. Place some Siege Tanks after you have a Factory, go experience yourself :)
• Massive Battlecruisers. Build Starports as much as you can, then start building Battlecruisers, each battlecruiser deals 25dmg+ so it is good for defense and attack enemy base. WARNING: Battlecruiser has slow movement speed.
  
• Wraith. Again, build as many Starport as you can. Great for anti-air and imba when cloaking. WARNING: Weak against Psionic Storm!
• March of Marines. Build 4-6 barracks, then build many many Marines and Medics. WARNING: Psionic Storm Pwns you!
  

ZERG
The sticky and ugly alien.

• The Five Pool. Start mining with 5 drones at early game, build a Spawning Pool then start rushing enemy base with zerglings. Good against Protoss :) WARNING: It will leave your base defenseless think twice before doing it.
• Great Wall of Evo. Spamming Sunken Colonies and Spore Colonies at early game, place some Lurkers when you have minerals. WARNING: Only work for Single Player :)
• Ultralisk and Hydralisk Spams. Keep making Hydralisk and Ultralisk as many as you can to attack enemy base. Tip: Make some Defillers with Dark Swarm too, Dark Swarm can prevent your ground units from enemy attack EXCEPT SIEGE.
• The Guardian. Make as much Guardian as you can, Guardians has long range attack and 20dmg per spore. WARNING: Guardian has no anti-air.

PROTOSS
The cheater.

• Zealot (Ninjas). Build as much Gateways as you can, then start spamming Zealots and send them to enemy base. They can deal 16dmg, good for early game. WARNING: Zealots has no anti-air, so think about it :)
• The Famous Carriers. Build as much Stargate as you can and a Fleet Beacon of course. Start spamming Carriers. Behold of shit loads of interceptors! Tip: Make some Arbiter, it will make your carriers invisible! No lie!
• Dark Templars. Start building Gateways and a Templar Archive, then make as much Dark Templars as you can. WARNING: Templar has no anti-air. For some reason, sometime player accidentally spam High Templar instead of Dark Templar.
• Recall. An Arbiter ability which can teleport your units to anywhere in the map, simply move your Arbiter to a destination then target your units with Recall. Great for sneak attack and zealot spams.

Examples:






Congratulation you know the basic of how to spam in Starcraft I, now you can own your friends in BattleNet! Good Luck.

Note: I don't do spelling and grammar check in my post.

How to Draw Anime Head

This is my version of how to draw anime head. It might be different from others. It is simple actually, I hope it helps. So let's get started!

Tools are always important, you will need.

• Blank Paper, A4 paper will do
  
• Sharp pencil or Mechanic pencil
• An Eraser
  
• 4B pencil (Optional)

Here is how

First, I draw a "t" shape using a mechanic pencil. Make sure do not darken the lines because we will need to sketch first and some lines will erase afterward. Draw 2 curve lines and join them together at the bottom as shown in the picture.

Draw a semicircle on top, this will be its head, avoid making the head too flat. Add ears on the both side about the position of the horizontal line, don't go too high or too low.

Add eyebrows above the horizontal line, and other line below the eyebrow. Erase the horizontal line, we will add the eyes later.

Complete the eyes, you can choose any type of eyes you preferred to. Add nose, don't go too high or too low, leave some space for the mouth.

Complete the iris, make a small circle inside and shade them like this. Make another smaller circle without shading it, this will be the reflection of the eye.

Complete the hair and add more detail on it. Then darken all the lines with 4B pencil, you can use a normal pencil as well. Make some shading after you satisfied with the details.

Here is the result when it's done.

Keep practicing, I believe you can draw something better than this. :D

Got my Particle Illusion

Just got my Particle Illusion program to add more special effect for my animation. It was sad at first because I not sure how to remove the black background of the effect I used, after referring to some guide, I finally got the black thing removed and putted it into Sony Vegas, that was cool and highly detailed effect.
Basically this is what I did,
I saved the effect into .avi file and check the "Save Alpha" and "Remove black bg from RGB channel" before rendering them and finally import into Sony Vegas and set the Alpha Channel to "Straight (unmatted)"

For my animation, it is about 60% completed, I can actually complete the editing within 1 or 2 days, because of the laziness that's why it still not done yet. (sigh)

By the way, here's the videos for today :D
Epic Music I can tell.
