Summergale~

So, Karl and I did our first game work for the summer! I really enjoyed the brainstorming session, Nick and I are on the same page design-wise, I think, but different enough to make good tweaks.


It's gunna be pretty fun, even with a slightly painful one month two week deadline for two games.



I heard a remake of an apparently old song in a WoW video, I quite like the guy's voice, but the chick's is a bit lacking. The lyric modification was pretty clever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hgcy6bsg4g
I like this version better than the actual song: Timbaland - The Way I Are (Ohgodgrammar.)


In other band news: She Wants Revenge, and Cobra Starship are on my list of interest. Okay, She Wants Revenge is beyond my list of interest, I adore quite a few of their songs. <_<


LoTRO went back and renovated a lot of their lowbie areas- and it's -really- impressive. I'm once again struck by the quality of work Turbine turns out. They might just be the one big game company I'd like to work for. Mebbe followed by Stardock...


So, like, I turn 21 in like four months. I will buy me some Hard Lemonade~! Dunno why that came up.


Karl's house is the Moth Mecca. When we walked out to my car, it was like Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Moths.' There were at least one hundred of them. Karl was joking about bug spray and a lighter. <_< I wish he was impulsive enough to convince that it'd be way more fun than the dangerous idea that it is.


I'm currently running an experiment on a site Karl linked me, at alteredqualia.com/visualization/evolve . The computer tries to create an image from randomly generated vectors. It's pretty sweet. I have a pic of Trauma running through it, and it's been 2d 3hrs 30 minutes, and if you saw the picture it was generating from, you could tell what it was...but..otherwise it's pretty abstract. We'll see how long it takes until I accidentally shut down my laptop. (Lappy is running it.)


Got my Terabyte harddrive. Turns out I only have two SATA ports on my mobo. (Even though it has SPOTS for 4, it's a cheaper made, so it only has two implimented.) So I had to buy a PCI thinger that gives me two extra SATA and an IDE port. For now, I'm living without a DVD drive~


Oh, bought Tales of Phantasia for the GBA used~ Ysssss.
