Ok, so that last post was written while I was really, really tired. Sorry about that. I took care of it. Things are going well for me, though I'm really busy. Thats normal for the holidays, but its also quite exhausting and I'm tired of it. I fell bad that I no longer look forward to the holidays. I can't wait for them to be over these days. I'm ( Read more... )

Time to rant... I've been watching G4 while working on some laundry and every other commercial is for a gaming college. While the concept that people are finally paying attention to game development as an actual carrer path is great, these commercials aren't. These commercials rarely (I've only seen one) use any kind of actual game footage. Most of ( Read more... )

So today Emily and I drove on up to see Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire on the IMAX. It's been forever since I've seen a movie there and I completely forgot how HUGE that screen is. Then, to think there's no pixelation or distortion on the screen is insane! The resolution must be crazy-high. Anyway, the movie was AWESOME! They changed a ton of ( Read more... )

Throwin' down a little more artwork for you. I'm pretty damned excited about this Joust idea. Mainly because it is so simple of a game, but also because what I'm doing is just plain nutty. Simplifying Half Life 2 down to a game that uses three buttons to play. :) Anywho, rambling there a bit... I've designed myself a bird for the game, take a look:

So, I'm sick and I can't sleep. I also need to make a game that I can learn how to develop on the Half Life 2 engine (its called the Source Engine, but most people don't know that). So I came up with this idea:

I had typed a longer entry, but the damn computer ate it. The highlights were simple: Things are good. Things will get better. Odd combo, but a good one. Joe quit Shoemaker's Garage. Good news for him, though Adam is still there and probably not to happy. I've got a ton of projects going on, but I need to get things better organized. Holidays ( Read more... )

Let see if I can sum this up... In the last 4 days; 2 decent people have quit. Jake is seriously contemplating it (really), I've pissed off the store manager countless times and even Dorothy once, several shoppers have been in horribly bad moods, one actually threw a 12-pack of canned cat food at me over a $4 issue (I caught it and she was thrown ( Read more... )

Finally got a bunch of crap done that I've been meaning to get to. Yay for that. However, I still find myself in a bad mood. I was so hoping today was going to be a better day than the last two, but nope. No such luck. I'm so tempted to crawl back into bed and wait for tomorrow, but instead I get to go to work later. Now there's something to smile

I know I shouldn't let these things bother me. I should simply shrug this off, but damn it I can't. Today... grr. Normally, I try to be a nice guy. I try to be understanding of everyone's point of view. I try to be considerate of people in general. I try to be respectful to the best of my ability without comprimising myself or my beliefs. I do try ( Read more... )
