firstly, the golden compass is out today in the UK. the film i have anticipated for years and years since i first read northern lights, it’s finally out! i can’t wait to go see it. has anyone seen it yet? bastards.
ps:
okay, i’m going to say this once, and once only. i like the new killers single. yes, i know i know. it’s the killers. but it’s lou reed! their new single “tranquilize” is fantastic. it’s quirky and dark and nothing like the killers other stuff. it sounds fairly velvet underground-esque (but no where near as good obviously), and it’s really good. their voices go together really well. as much as i dislike the killers (i used to be a fan) this is worth a listen. there.
well, stats are back! haha, now i can see who’s looking at me… i used to obsess over them, so i’m quite happy. i doubt it’ll do as well as my other blog (like, 650 views a day) but i can always hope! it’s racked up 200 in the first day of recording stats so…
so me and a few friends have joined up to this site called LittleGolem.net. it allows you to play board games online. not in real time. so you just log on and play whenever you get the chance. it’s pretty cool! lemme know your usernames, and invite me to a game of chess or something. my user name is dicko and i have not played long.
anyway, i’m so behind on work, and i still haven’t finished my personal statement (due in last month) so i’m off, ta ta!
8 hours of non-stop work, with no break and no fucking food. i am FAMISHED. i am TIRED. i am SOAKING WET. but i am PROUD, because I FINISHED. ALL MY WORK IS DONE.
if only i had some money to fucking celebrate. stupid ema.
i’ve been sat here trying to make an ice level. it’s simple, throughout the level you go into a warehouse, then down into a valley and into a secret fire level. why is it taking so long? well, the amount of detail is part of the problem. here’s a sample.
my fire alarm. how cool is that? (click to enlarge)
this is the entrance to the warehouse. check out the crate and stuff.
this is a snowy hill where the main character starts.
yeah, that’s my work so far. i’ve got so much to do. this is part of the ice canyon which needs completely texturing and finishing, so far i’ve got the basics done.
so yes, for the longest time i’ve wanted to be a computer games programmer. but i’m now wondering about what i should do. i want something that is guaranteed to get me a job, and i’m not sure that being in the games industry would, especially living in the UK anyway. i mean sure, we have a few companies, but not many. so i need big help. i’m also wondering which university to go to. currently i’m considering birmingham, york, or in the worst case scenario, teesside. i just don’t know.
right now i’m considering advertising, i reckon i’d be good at that. any ideas?
