I've been wanting to make a mod for a while that simply re-creates the final fight scene from the movie Ghost In The Shell where Motoko Kusanagi faces off against a tank. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just google "Motoko vs tank" and you'll find a few clips (maybe).

This is a challenge I've had for myself for a while now. My biggest ( Read more... )

Apparently we eat bugs in our sleep!

When we're asleep, our huge, gaping, snoring maws are like oasis for the little critters to come and drink from. But then while they do that, you shift or close your mouth or whatever, and crunch crunch crunch. So if you ever wake up and it tastes like something died in your mouth, something probably did.

Anyway, ( Read more... )

I've never been able to fly in my dreams. At best, I was able to hover when I had wings, but only if I ran down a very steep hill ( Read more... )

For some of my classes, I have to write.

Here's the thing: they want me to write in French, for no other reason than that's what the school board wants. Never mind that the majority of the gaming industry communicates in English, whether or not the studios are French, English, Chinese or whatever. Never mind that the teachers actually keep their ( Read more... )

Today marks the first official day of me no longer taking cello lessons, and it sucks.

I got a text message from my teacher, gutstrings , asking me if I was going to be showing up for what would have been another regular lesson and it took me three hours to reply: "Sorry, I can't". My stomach was in a knot as I sent the message. I didn't think not going to ( Read more... )

I dreamed I was hanging out with Eli from Let The Right One In and it was cool. She was telling me all about being... well, what she is and isn't, and it was pretty interesting.  She didn't even kill anyone the entire time!

If you haven't seen that movie yet, get off your gondola and go see it! It's about a couple of kids falling in love despite all ( Read more... )

This bank, I tell ya!

So today I opened my bank account and, I'm not entirely certain of this but, I'm pretty sure the guy who opened my account had just finished doing a line of coke or something. He was super-fidgety the entire time with a sheen of perspiration on his forehead and kept twitching while occasionally sniffing and "discreetly" rubbing ( Read more... )

So I met a very nice bank lady who said I couldn't actually be a Taurus because I don't look like one. She also agreed that I look like a terrorist on my ID and was very glad that I said so, thus saving her the trouble. Oh bank lady, you so crazy ( Read more... )

Right. Writing.

So in case you're wondering about the classes, they are nothing shy of totally awesome. All my life I've been dabbling in game-making and these classes are just that, only in-depth and with a crowd of people working towards a common goal. I really, really hope I don't have to quit halfway because of my finances.
