This post will detail some features I plan to add to this site. Maybe I shouldn't promise 'soon', but maybe I will anyway. For no reason, the following features are in development:
Yes, that's why I demand birthdays: to lump you together in certain astrological signs so I can toss random, meaningless sayings at you. It would update daily and mostly consist of bad fortunes. I figure if this well enough, I could theoretically add some fake lottery type features too.
This is something I started a while ago, but put it on the backburner because I didn't think that scanning a whole dictionary was more important than getting this site online. This idea was originally concieved for my Bing search button, but I've decided it would be good in other ways too.
You know what people like? Random text generators, because it gives them a chance to click something to get something unique. Of course, I have to re-learn the english language almost just to format sentence structure rules into the code to do this, but I will if I have enough time. "Why? Because I've GOT TO, mister! (blblbp)"
Random text generators could a lot of fun, me thinks. Just think, random: titles, sentences, bing searches, etc... in fact, I plan to phase myself out of this site one day after having built an automated system that will post as @Renzo_Capetto, adding new content so I don't have to.(is that even possible?)
Our producer @DerTables is working on java game mechanics right now. I feel this ought to be addressed, and now's as good a time as any.
Learning one type of computer language makes learning the others a little easier. You get into that coding mindset which puts you in a very logical state of mind as you have to analyze things on a deeper level. Most viewers of this site wont know or care about the effort that goes into it, but they don't really have to either, so long as I understand that system (my own system) enough to have everything well integrated and functional.
@Der is working on simple arcade, platform, and rpg games to add to the site. These games will require java to run, and will be fully connected to this website's database as a means of integrating the achievement system among other things. There will be some demos released here and there until we ultimately release the full finished versions. This is a gradual, time consuming process which I personally have yet to get involved with, since I'm still working on the site functionality and content, but the trash arcade is cumming to junkyard near you.
The categories are still being worked out, but feel free to suggest your own. The awards will be factored automatically in an updating list by user votes and media tags and information. Think of categories like "best transvestite acting", "best score in a porn film", or even "best worst movie" (or does Troll 2 win by default?). If you come up with any good categories that can theoretically be applicable, we can add them.
This site is a work in progress. I find myself fixing little... adding something here, taking away something there... it's fun too. I'm a nerd and find it entertaining, and I can easily waste hours in a piece of code, but my work schedule never permits it, and when it does, I have other obligations, like home errands, and trying to see a movie but being too lazy to get up and go to it, even though it's free for me (I work at a movie theater). I guess my ultimate goal is to make enough money somehow so I don't have to work, and will then have more time to devote to Trash Epics.
That's all I can think of at the moment, but I tend to get new ideas for the site at any given time, so who knows what's coming next.
Have you noticed any little fuck-ups on the site? Do you think, "hey @Renzo, this feature sucks for this reason and should be changed accordinly"? Well come on down to gutterland and help shape the wonderful world finely woven filth by giving me feedback, suggestions, comments... I swear, I'm a nice guy.Sometimes
Horoscopes
