Well, you were right about this being a bad idea...

...yeah its been that bad.

Mid Terms: 3 of em, 2 passed, one failed...not to mention annoyingly placed in the middle of assignments, which of course means no study time

Assignments: 3 small, 2 big. Of course im currently in the middle of the big ones still, as they are not due until the end of the semester. With the small assignments though, first one was handed in, finished properly. Second one is using a program we've never used before and is giving us all headaches. And the third i havent even started yet...woo

Game dev checkpoint number 2

Damn right we got this one done...and on time for that matter.

The second checkpoint for our game dev project was a digital prototype, research into the game type, MOAr art, and of course another game critique to be posted. And somehow we finished this in a week. LESS than a week actually, thanks very much to matt #1. all of those details can be found here.

On the bright side

Which of course would have to exist or I wouldn't be alive to type this out. In my social/non-school life everything has been going great. Days off, doing very well in video games, heck even going out on a date (which btw i really need more of that sort of thing) and of course being me...im going to divulge on the gaming that has been done.

Call of Duty: modern warfare 2
Well this wont come as a surprise, but other than that date, my only social contact with people (out of school and msn of course) was in online gaming with my friends. We played for about a week...where Dan has somehow became a level 70 within it...I have no idea how. Mostly playing free for all or ground war, we had a lot of fun driving each-others skulls into walls with shiny metal objects. (what can I say...killing people is a very good form of stress relief)


Borderlands: 
Hooray for finally getting back to this game. I tried the soldier class for this play-through, thought id try it (battle rifles and shotguns are an awesome combo...they just work)

This class actually worked out very well, despite being mainly built for multiplayer use. The sentry gun is more of a distraction for enemies than anything, and yet its still useful for healing yourself. On the other hand, this play-through has been easy...quite literally because of dlc. Before playing my second character I downloaded all 3 dlc for borderlands...playing through 2 of them in the middle of the original campaign leveled me up so much O.o. Of course i haven't started the secret armory of general knoxx though...as you have to be level 35 to play...gorramit.



Captain Forever:
This has to be one of the best indie games Ive ever played, and don't take that lightly (no it doesn't trump world of goo...but its definitely close) It uses simple vector/line graphics and a core system loosely based off of asteroids. It involves a little command unit that you control and by gathering peices of other ships you've destroyed, your ship grows...gets destroyed, and grows again till you die...yeah its a bitch...lol


And thats about it...

It was a lot i know....







Really im done...
