Many Pixels
Lately I've been reading The Catcher in the Rye. I really like it; for some reason it makes me feel a little better about life even though it's sort of a depressing book. I guess because I relate well to a lot of the things Holden Caulfield says.
Yesterday …Existential Crisis
My existential crisis came to a head yesterday when I was working feverishly on a history project that I thought was due today but actually isn't due for two weeks. It had never before struck me with such clarity the hopelessness of human existence, and the fact that no matter …
A Lack of Color
It's Christmas break, and normally I'd feel relatively happy right now. This year, though, what little holiday spirit I ever had is totally dead. As I get older, life just seems more and more meaningless, and I feel stuck in a circle, almost like I'm living someone else's life. Some …
I am the Walrus
"O oysters, come and walk with us," the Walrus did beseech,
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, along the briny beach."So yeah. It's Christmas break now. Weirdest thing happened on Friday- there was a huge windstorm- like nearly a tornado, with trees falling on houses and stuff- and the …Web Log of Random Things
I woke up thinking today would be a terrible day, but actually it was half-way decent. I'm in choir at my school (I'm not a loser, I swear) and we got out of class to go to a mall to sing (it's a relatively small school, so they can do …
Anniversary
By looking through the creation dates of all my GM6 files, I've traced my Game Maker history back to a year ago today. I downloaded because I was bored and home alone on a Saturday; now look where it's got me. W00t.
As for Mekanos, it's getting pretty close to …Are We There Yet? Projectivity Part III
Just six more days of school until Christmas break. I love this time of year. Except for the music. I simply do not understand how people can stand Christmas music. Ack. In any case, my brother and my sister-in-law are coming home from college in New Mexico for a month. …
Snow, Projectivity Part II
Today it's snowing for the first time. That always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and it makes me want to work on my game because this is the time of year that I originally discovered Game Maker. In any case, the snow has been really late in coming …
Projectivity
I bought Shadow of the Colossus today. That's a big thing for me, because I never buy video games. In fact, I've bought a grand total of about two this entire year. Anyways, that's a really awesome game. It's got to be one of the most artistic games I've ever …
Pixel Art, a Minigame, and a Slice of Life
Well, in my last entry I whined about a lack of creative drive. Since then I've created a minigame, drawn a bunch of pixel art and composed a MOD or two, and things are looking up for the future, sort of. In any case, I might as well post some …
