Okay, for introducing me to this show, Jen has cancelled out the last bad thing that she did, no matter how bad it was.  The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is something that I would have just walked right past at that anime store.  On the cover, nothing more than a picture of a schoolgirl dragging a schoolboy by the tie.  It just screams "Cliche!"  ( Read more... )

My first Wacom tablet was delivered today!  I've finally come out of the dark ages of trying to paint and sculpt with a mouse/trackball.  I have no money for trips now, but it was worth it.  Must sculpt and paint!  DISCLAIMER: Technically, it's not the first tablet, but the first one was really old and broken, with no working drivers, so I really ( Read more... )

The first day of the Computer Game Conference has passed, and Domforahn annihlated all opposition.  Of the six teams, only TWO even had working games to show, and I did much of the art/modelling for BOTH of them!  I win in any case, but I'm glad that it was the project that I am directing that dominated.  Big props to my 3D instructor and boss of ( Read more... )

My nine month project has finally come to a close, and I'll be delivering the gold copy tonight.  After that, it'll just be about preparations for the show.  It's been a long haul, but I've learned a tremendous amount about game development and 3D art.  This knowledge will prove invaluable in the industry, and I hope to make full use of it as I ( Read more... )

I'm really not the competitive type. I tend to prefer cooperative activities, myself. We live in a world of exceptions, though, and my exception is when I'm winning. We entered the game development contest in May, starting with absolutely nothing. The statistics were daunting, with a brutal 98% failure rate. I knew the odds, but I was going to ( Read more... )

Well, I went out to my 3-year old cousin's B-day party yesterday at Chuck-E-Cheese. It was the usual fare. Parents and grandparents talking about work and their kids, with the kiddies playing about. I was bored to tears. A manager came by to check up on our b-day table. "How's everything going, folks?" he asks cheerfully. We gave the usual ( Read more... )

I knew that leading a game modding team would be tough. The 98% failure rate that I've heard of so much seems to be more and more realistic as we go on. I just don't understand why so many people refuse to learn anything on their own. They'll learn in class, but they won't make use of tutorial videos or the bounty of information that can be ( Read more... )

I do memes because I am stereotypically expected not to...

RED; anger:
1. Are you currently mad at someone?: Annoyed, maybe- but not particularly mad.
2. Which of your friends has the worst temper?: I generally avoid people with bad tempers.
3. Have you ever thrown something at anyone?: Not with any intent to harm (that I can remember)
4. Does your face ( Read more... )
