I could float above the grass in circles if I tried.
The last few days have been pretty fucken awesome. The last 3 days me an kris have been hanging out 90% of which has been playin videogames.
I finally played Gears of War, at first I really didnt like it, but it grew on me and now I know its pretty damn good. Not as awesome as everyone says it is, but it is extreamly good nonethe less. From development point of view I can say that the makers dont get full credit, the game pulls ALOT from Quake, and little from halo and half life, but moreso Quake then anything else. Infact, It would be safe to say that Gears of War is what Quake4 was supposed to be but failed miserably at.
I also got to see some other games, and I must say Kris is definetly in charge of making levels and puzzles for our game, he has tons of resources for it. I got to see him play some God Of War 2, that was sick. Ive seen quite a few greek god warfare based game designs and most suck, and God of War puts the nail in the coffin on the whole thing altogether.
Our team met up on Friday, I feel that was one of the most effective meetings we have had. Personally I feel our team has some problems with meetings, namely specifics, were still in the preproduction phase and nothing needs to be finalized, and discussing details is just a waste of time and annoying. At first Eli was buggin me with his constant disagreement with the team mind but now im appreciative of it, he does a good job putting down discussion of specifics. Much unlike myself I seem to have trouble putting into words what I want to say during team meetings. Its quite bothersome.
Well I dont want to write anymore, bye.
