I think the catch is you have to stop using google and start using IE. No way man.

Lol they're going to mail it to the address so you'll need to go pick it up if you do that

I don't think so.
But anyways, it probably won't really help, because MS points codes are region locked.

I've got 200 points on the way. Its kinda stupid that they are actually going to send me 100 point cards lol I did use the e-mail attached to my gamers tag but w/e. also here is a tip for anyone who uses FF the toolbar takes up a lot of system resources so I disabled it in FF and only use it in IE.

I remember something like this where you had to play games to get Live Search points which you could redeem for stuff. I remember Chicktionary! That was so much fun.
I wonder if this also works for Canadians! If so, I'll try it.
Edit: Crap. US Only. Just like the Live Search reward offer.

Another Microsoft fail. So, how many xBox users are there in the US? If roughly half of them find out about this through xBox live or hotmail, how many cards will MS have to ship out? I think this is a Because It's Not Google marketing plan.

I isntalled it in my Internet Explorer and immeditly uninstalled it from my firefox.
IE was made to be used like this, whenever Microsoft offers free crap to use it.
I'll never navigate it to another site besies bing so now its just a dedicated Bing points builder.
Would never user it anyway, so now it has a use!

Catch here is that it does watch your searches and behaviors and they can change the policy without notice along with any spyware they want to install legally.
But thats not the bad part.
The real bad thing is that MS will use this to say that people actually use Bing.....
THE HORROR!!!! aAahahhahahah

Oh well, I want my free crap.

Thinking of training two of my family members to install this in their IE and make a habit of running it and completing offers and get me more MS points.
I figure its only a matter of time before they start asking users to buy stuff to get points.
Might as well take it when the gettins good.
I bet they wont do it too often though, as that sorta stuff can sometimes scream lawsuit.
And we all know there's tons of fickle users out there with a list of things to try and sue MS for.
So my bet is that they'll be carefull with their little offer scheme.

    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
