Yep, I'm back to using GM. I'm working on an actual game, a game that I WILL finish, even if it takes me months. Whats different is that I'm only working on it for about 1-2 hours a day, hopefully I won't get bored while making it this way. The basic engine isn't even done even after 4 days(yeah, its not a simple game), but I'm happy with my progress.

No, there will be no news or anything about the game until it is ready for a demo. Well heres some news, SY made the sprite texture mapping script for me, so there.

<b>Internet</b><hr>

So we get a letter in the mail today from our net/tv/phone provider. It seems our internet speed will double in the next month or so. So that means I will have a normal speed of 300-400kbs, and an accelerated speed of about 1mbs. Kick ass.

<b>New Avatar+Banner</b><hr>

After countless requests from SY I finally made a new banner with my l33t photoshop skills. Yeah, I'm not too good with photoshop anymore, but at least its bearable [:D]

New avatar too, it was from my random avatar collection which I can't have on here. Oh well.

<b>64D</b><hr>

If you haven't heard, Flashback and Kenon have resigned from admin and mod, respectively. I'm not going to release details since I'm not sure they want me to.

<b>BitTorrent</b><hr>

I downloaded the movie Crank a few days ago. Its awesome, its just a giant chase scene with sex and drugs.

Also downloading UT2004 even though I said I wouldn't. Not going too fast though. Done in 1 day and 5 hours…

<b>VisualBasic</b><hr>

I actually learned something! Not enough to make anything useful, but still, its something. I was trying to make a simple music player, but turns out I need some library or something to have it play in the background and not in WMP, which defeats the purpose of making a music player. I'll try to see what else I can come up with [:)]

<b>Cool Game</b><hr>

I played a demo for this game called Gumboy, it won the indie game of the year award or something. Check it out, its pretty cool and challenging.

<b>School</b><hr>

So we had our class meeting today to see where we wanted to go for our senior trip. We had either Virginia and Bush Gardens, Washington DC and Kings Dominion, or Darien Lake. I picked Darien Lake since it was closest and cheapest(others were the price of a college class, $500). I'm also going on 2 other trips this year, so I'm happy.
