Back in the groove

Posted by Acid on May 1, 2010, 4:12 p.m.

This is going to be a pretty short blog but I'm fairly sure that no one is going to complain because we've been getting no action here. (Well, I have but that's a different kind.)

I'm going to try to get back into game making. I still remember how to program in GM and I can still make decent graphics and I'm still relatively decent with Gimp. I'm not sure how, I was sure I would have forgotten almost everything by now, but I remember it like I had only stopped for a week or so.

Everything's going good with my girl. :)

I've been getting back into TF2 lately and I suck a little less than I did before (4:1 death kill ratio before and its probably about 1:1 now or a little bit over.) but as you can tell, I still suck really bad. It's fun though, and I'm not taking it seriously, its just a game. Sometimes I just kamikaze with the melee weapon of the class I am, heading through the front entrance of a base head on, until I get a kill just to see how long it take me. :P

I've been trying to get back into art. I'm taking Senior Studio next year, which is a course to start building up your art portfolio if you want to be known as an artist, get a professional job as an artist, or go to an art school. But I'm not sure if I want to do something art focused or art influenced, like engineering. I'm probably going to University of Toledo for engineering or Bowling Green for anything else.

Edit: Oh and my birthday was on the 14th, I'm seventeen now.

Art school seems like a joke. I'm only interested in telling stories, so when I do get to college, I'll probably take courses that help my writing.

I know, I'm not going to art school, I'm taking the class to get to draw and paint instead of a REAL class, and to have time during the day to draw and paint. And draw and paint. DRAW AND PAINT

At least your not using MSpaint, I opened that one today…I still fill dirty.

I don't think gimp is too great for pixel art in my opinion. TF2 is fun. Happy Late Birfday.
