Hi Sly Cooper fans,

Some shocking info on Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time has been released. Apparently, instead of Slåi MacCooper being the ancestor featured in Episode 3 of the game, a new Cave-Cooper will be the ancestor. His actual name is unknown, so he is known as “Bob” throughout the game. A new ancestor wasn’t the thing that shocked me about him, it was more of his appearance. Slåi MacCooper is a really bulky Cooper, but “Bob” is by far the bulkiest Cooper I’ve ever seen. He is also missing teeth; has brown, messy fur; and has giant claws. I think that these features are improvements compared to Slåi, and I look forward to playing him in the game. Below are some pictures of “Bob”, and a leaked photo of the game’s boss as he appears in-game!

Speaking of the game, if you want exclusive DLC (and a cheaper price), hurry up and preorder Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time on Amazon.com/Target.com before Febuary 5th!!

Hi everybody,

My dad and I recorded a new podcast, where we talk about the upcoming game, Sly Cooper Thieves in Time. I talk about ancestors that will be featured in the game, the ancestors that won’t be featured in the game, the story, some Sly Cooper history, the characters and MORE. I also talk briefly about a beat making app called Figure, which I used to create the new intro jingle for my podcast.

Hi Sly Cooper fans,

IGN has posted a two hour long video demonstrating Sly Cooper Thieves in Time gameplay. The first episode was almost completely finished, as well as the Paris tutorial. Here is the video below:

I have a new favorite TV show. It is called, “Annoying Orange” and is based on a YouTube series. The YouTube series became so popular that it was picked up as a show on Cartoon Network. Every Friday, a new YouTube episode is made available also. Here is a link to the “realannoyingorange” YouTube channel.

 
The premise of the show is about an annoying orange named “Orange”. Obviously, he loves to annoy everyone and then laughs whenever they get mad. Most of the characters are fruit. Some are toys or other objects. There are a few humans in the show. In the YouTube episodes, the setting is a kitchen. However, in the Cartoon Network show, the setting is a grocery store.

 
The animation style is a picture of a real piece of fruit with video of a person’s eyes and mouth overlaying the picture. It is pretty simple, but the show is funny because Orange is always coming up with jokes to annoy whoever he is talking to.

 
To show you how funny the show is, here is my favorite episode from the YouTube series:

This is an episode where Orange and his friend interrupt Cobb’s phone conversations by yelling “Wazzup!” over and over.

 

I recently began learning how to make games in a very simple program called Construct 2, made by Scirra games! It is a program that doesn’t require any coding experience or game-making experience! I had an assignment for school to give instructions on how to do something I know how to do. I thought that many of my readers would like to see the instructions as well. Here they are:

Making Video Games: The First Steps
By HelloTyler
So, you want to make a video game for the computer? Well, today I’m going to teach you how to make games in Construct 2, the easy, simple game-making program. Unfortunately, I can’t teach you to make a full game, because that would probably take a lot of instructions to teach. Instead, I’m going to teach you the first steps on how to make a simple side-scroller, complete with your very own controllable character, a background, platforms for the player to walk on, and more.
Step by Step
First, download and install the free version of Construct 2 off of scirra.com. Now open the program. Once you’ve opened the program, you should see an opening screen. In the top left corner, click “File” and select “New”. On the left, you should see “Size”. Change it to 4000 x 2048. Also, change the “Position” to 0, 0.
Now, let’s make a background. Double click the white space in the middle of the screen. That white space is what the screen will look like when the game starts. A small window will pop up with multiple types of objects to make. Click “Tiled Background”. Now click “Insert”. Another window will pop up. You can make your own background in this window, but a safer option is to make it in a photo editing program. (Photoshop, Paint, etc.) Make sure to make the background 4000 x 2048. Now, go back into Construct 2, and Click the little folder in the top left corner of the window that opened after you selected the “Tiled Background”. Upload the background that you made. Now hold the “Control” button and scroll the mouse wheel down to zoom out. The white chart on the left should have changed. Change its “Size” to 4000 x 2048 and its “Position” to 0, 0.
To the right, you should see a “Projects” tab. At the bottom should be a button that says “Layers”. Click it. In it should be layer zero. If you want, rename it by clicking the pencil icon, and type in “Background”. Now, create another background by clicking the green plus. If you want, rename this layer “Main”. Select the “Background” layer and click the lock. This makes it so you won’t accidentally select it while trying to select something else. Click the “Main” layer again.
Now we create the platforms for the player to walk on. Double click what used to be the white space again. Click “Sprite” and “Insert”. Go into your photo editing program and create a block. You can make a very fancy looking platform, a brown block, or something else; just make sure it’s a square. Now, upload it to Construct 2. Next, make the size on the chart to the left 24, 24. Of course, with just one block, the player has absolutely nowhere to go. So, Hold the “Control” button and click and drag the block. You’ve just made another block! At the top, under “View”, click “Snap to grid”. This will make it easier to connect blocks.
Let’s make the player. Double click the space, click “Sprite”, and “Insert”. Make the character in your photo editing program, and upload it. Do you see the empty space around the character? That should be taken out, because it takes up memory, and makes the game that much slower. In the top part of the window, there should be a rectangle with arrows on the four sides. Hold the “Shift” button and click it. Now, let’s set the image origin. In this case, the origin makes sure that the player won’t get stuck in the platforms. Click the Button underneath the piece of paper, and set the point at the player’s feet. (If it doesn’t have feet, put it where the feet would be.) If you want to, rename the object to “Player”.
On the chart to the left, there should be some thing that says “Add/edit” under “Behaviors”. Click it, and select the green plus. Next, select “Platform”, and click “Add”.
On the window that was opened on the last step, make the “Jump Speed” 1100 and the “Gravity” 2500. Now click the green plus again and add “Scroll to”. This way the screen will follow the player.
Select the block object that the player is supposed to walk on. Add the behavior called “Solid”. Now the player won’t fall through the block. Double click the space again. Select “Keyboard”. This just enables the keyboard to be able to be used. Now, go to the tab which is titled “Event Sheet”. This basically tells what is supposed to happen when the game starts, when the player falls off the screen, when an enemy is hit, or anything else. Add an action by double clicking. Double click the keyboard, and click “Next”. Click “On key pressed”. Now click “click to choose” and press the left arrow key. Now click “Add action”. Double click “Player” and choose the action called “Set player mirrored”. Lastly, add an identical event, except use the right arrow key, and set “Not mirrored”.
While I can’t give you the whole set of instructions, you should probably be able to figure out the rest by now. It is basically the same routine, adding events, objects, and other things. After reading four long pages about how to make a game in Construct 2, you may be surprised to find out that this is the simplest game making program that I’ve heard of! You may be happy to know that you can make games for multiple mobile devices in Construct 2. All you have to do is change the controls to touch controls, and buy the full version. Then, upload your game file (which should end in “.html5”) to phonegap.com.

LittleBigPlanet Vita has been released to the stores! With the PS Vita features and LBP fun combined, this game is sure to become one of your favorites. A new feature is that your DLC and costumes from LBP2 will be imported into LBP Vita and LBP Karting!! Below are some screenshots from the game.

 
Also, I’m proud to say that I am now the owner of the exclusive Space Suit and LBP Vita Launch Shirt! Here’s what they look like:

There is some big news about Sly Cooper Thieves in Time! When you Preorder, you get free DLC!!!! One of the Dlc suits is an undercover suit for Murray, and the other two are different looking paragliders for Sly! Here they are:

Also, the rumor is that the likeness of some Sanzaru employees will be used as DLC as well.

Here is a background story I made for the Sly Cooper Green Lantern Variant. This story may change, depending on how Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time ends. Here is a link to the page with all of the Green Lantern Variants. I would like to make a Dimitri variant as well, but I can’t find a good enough quality picture. If you find one, send it to me on my wall on the wiki, and I’ll give you credit.

In Brightest Day, In blackest night, no LOOT shall escape my sight…

Sometime after the events of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Sly Cooper went back to Rajan’s temple, looking for any expensive loot. He entered a building, and found an old spice shipment crate. He smashed it open, and found a green lantern ring. Bentley said, “Sly, my sensors are going crazy! It’s that ring, it must hold great power!”, so Sly put it on. He immediately was changed into a green suit with a quick flash. Confused, Sly ran on some rooftops to clear his mind.

Sly began jumping from rooftop to rooftop. He jumped off a rooftop, expecting to land on another one. He looked down, and a fast river was underneath him. Sly closed his eyes, praying that something would save him. After a minute or two, he realized that he hadn’t landed. He was FLYING. He flew back on a rooftop, even more confused than before. He thought for a minute, and remembered Bentley’s words. “…It’s that ring, it must hold great power!” Just then, a guard hit him. His ring gave him great altitude, and he fell on another rooftop, and smashed into another spice crate. After being hit into that crate, he became slightly disoriented. He started swiping his cane left and right, and a green cane appeared and hit the guard into the river. It was then that he realized that he could create green objects.

Sly went back to the safehouse and told the gang all that had happened. Then Bentley hacked into the ring, and found out what it was for. He said that he hadn’t ever heard of the Green Lantern Corps, and that he suspected it was from a different dimension. After that, Bentley made copies of the ring for each member of the gang.
