Are computers really that bad?

G'day

-Life

Me and my mom is often arguing about how much I'm spending my time at the computer.

She says it's bad for me, I say it probably is because everybody is saying so.. but I haven't noticed anything bad.

I'm one of the best in my class in school, the computer and Internet has helped my a lot with both English and maths.

I'm not lazy really, I'm often out and snowboarding or skateboarding. I have many friends. Even though I've chosen to be single right now, I've had girlfriends and I'm quite popular so that's not a problem either.

I'm one of the third best in school in athletics.

Now, I can't understand what the computer does to me that's bad?

Is it in the long run that it's bad? I guess it is..

-Skate

Learned fs nosegrind, ollie late shoveit, ollie late backfootflip, crooks in mini and sw heel today.

YAY!

-Game maker

I've started working on my skateboarding game again, gnarly, and it's now much better than before.

Some news are;

-Gaps

-60fps instead of 40/30

-Nollie stance available

-Player graphics improved by Maarten (Bone)

-Less bugs

heh, look at the time I was writing this screeny

Is there anything more to say?

I got a new burton snowboard in Christmas present.

I was the second member to beat bbq4.

gnarly Early beta

W S A D = ride

numpad 2 = ollie

numpad 4 + combination of wsad (W + 4, WD + 4 etc) = flip tricks

numpad 6 + combination of wsad (W + 6, WD + 6 etc) = grab tricks

numpad 8 + combination of wsad (W + 8, WD + 8 etc) = grind tricks

numpad 7 = nollie stance

Have a nice day.

If you do fine in whatever, then it's ok. But staying on the computer for a long time is bad.

My college has taught me the blah blah blah on OOI (Occupational Overuse Injuries I think it is called). Other then that, have breaks! Esspecially in a computer class (I use it as an excuse to leave).

That's all I got to say.

Yeah, they're bad, but I don't care.

Not really. People just say they're bad because everyone does it. It's like TV back in the '90s. People said that it was the cause of all the world's problems. Now, people found a new hamster to bother: the computer, because everyone loves it.

ANOTHER GNARLY DEMO! I`ll have to try later, I`m on my Wii.

hah yeah, it isn't "finished" like the other one was.

Since I've rewritten the whole thing, this is basically just a tryout for v2.
