My journey in sillicon valley

It all started around third grade, when age of empires was a popular game, i used to rush home earger to play it. I was introduced to it by my freind chris who told me t was a great battle simulation game. Later in 5th grade when age of mythology came out i begged my parents to get me it and they wouldnt. So on my birthday that year i got Empire Earth, which was still a pretty good game. Nou up untill that point i never used the internet for games, untill my freind that had moved here from asia introduced me to warcraft 3. I saved my money and brought the box set and it was my first game ever played on the internet (i was in 6th grade). I continued playing warcraft untill around winter i convinced my parents to let me download Mu Online international edition which i played. On my 14th birthday i took all my saved up money and i brought a dell deminsions e310 online this april. The first games i downloaded were gunz and Mu, soon more came liek return to castle wolfeinstein and starcraft. Then i got……………….. Game Maker.

My life was fuled by a passion of game, and i had to know how thay worked, so i eagerily got books on visuialbasic and C++ at the libray, but they made no sense. So in a pitifull atttempt, i searched game maker and pressed the "enter key" that wold change my life. There it was, game maker 6.1 by Mark Overmyers. I eagerily downloaded it and fooled around with it while reading tutorials and such. It took me a few days to figre out waht it was, then it clicked. i made my first game ever "contra shooter" (if ur interested tell em and ill put it up). This game recived a few high ratings for it being my first game. Then i went on to make plane flyer, which recived a few top ratings. Then the unimaginable happened…. I got banned from the gmc a few weeks later. SO i got into pixeling, and i became a pretty good pixel artist (they should let me back on the gmc, i could really help out).

Well now we get to the part where i am today, im a normal person, im know by quite a few people from different places. I decided to scrap my idea for my tds and am going to make a platform shooter with rotating arm/guns.

I hope you all liked my blog (i am trying to change my ways). I will help you if you need gfx or anything so i guess this is peace out guys.

Poll: what is your favorite James bond theme song (movie)? Mine is the one from "The World is Not Enough"

If you were banned from the GMC, you deserved it.

And begging isn't going to help.
