I think that TIM was one of the games that got me into game development. You could make your own levels, right?

That is awesome man.

I've been down this road before. I'll concur with everyone else. Move out, get a job, but don't change who you are. I gave up games, my band, and all my friends for a girl and don't look back thinking I made good decisions. Playing video games  less is probably a good thing, but don't give up who yo...

Well, those rounds of interviews were cancelled. I ended up taking a contract at Microsoft about a year later in the WPF team. After that I left for DC to work at a small Agile development shop where I am now. I actually dropped out of school when I started at Microsoft. I'm considering starting aga...

Wow... what a lame post to go out with. I ended up staying with that company for another year before I got into software consulting, which brought me to DC. I don't think I'll be starting up any grandiose fan games any time soon, but I intend to hang around. I feel like, as of late, I've distanced m...

After dropping of the planet for maybe three years, I've decided to say, "hey" again to all my old friends. I don't even remember the last time I posted here. It seems like ages. But it's nice to see the familiar faces around. I'm living in DC now and I'm still working in software, but it'...

UPDATE: All of the Microsoft interviews were cancelled. However, the company I currently work for made me a new offer I believe I'll take. They are really flexible with my college schedule, and I think that I'd rather stay with them, as long as they pay me enough to keep me happy :) They're going to...

By the way, the interview got rescheduled because we have a pnemonia epidemic going around! I'll now have to wait two weeks when I'm back from my road trip because 3 out of the 4 interviewers are deathly ill!

Hero: Don't take the comments personally. It's just nice etiquette to post stuff that people can read. It's not that they were mistakes that someone was pointing out. It's that someone couldn't understand fundementally altogether what you were trying to say. "Gocking" and pointing out stup...

I live in the Seattle/Redmond area, which of course helps a lot. I think what they're interested in is the fact that I've had 2 years of professional experience in .NET languages, plus a total of 12 years of independent study, free programming work for online projects, and extensive experience in C#...

For those interested, the position is working either on Microsoft MapPoint server or Microsoft MapPoint for pocket pcs.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Hey everyone! Just to let everyone know, I have a job interview at Microsoft next week! Wish me luck. Just in case you're curious, I'm currently developing software, but my pay rate where I'm currently employed is very low, and I'm considering leaving unless my pay is raised significantly. I'm reall...

Yes, I understand this, and I hinted at that being able to be the reason, but a lot of the scenes look unnatural. On the Isle of the Mist (that's what it was called, right?), it looks like Graham's arm is bent completely around. There are several other things like this that I can point out that seem...

The screenshots and everything look great in that game, however, I'm quite concerned about two things: posture and porportion. It seems like the characters are all always in akward poses, and I've got to wonder about the animation if a screenshot is taken in a position like they are. Look at the Edg...

If you don't have any front or rear fans in your machine, that new fancy cpu fan won't do you anything. Also, I think having a top fan is really nice, as heat rises, and it helps the hot air inside escape out top.

You know, when Yoda and the Emperor are fighting, the guards say, "There's no body!" and the Emperor responds, "Then he's not dead!" But if Yoda died, he would have disappeared like he did in ROTJ. No, that talent was learned from Qui-Gonn Jinn afterwards.   Bt I considered this...

Radiant, Our RPG project culminated in this: http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/spongefactory/dl/snbeta.zip It's really very sloppy, but quite enjoyable. We originally had plans to create a serious game with it (titled Arean's Wish), but we couldn't find any writers that were serious enough to devote ...

Yes, it does take time. It's a real shame, because when I started the project, I had just got done with a (very) long RPG project with an engine I coded from scratch. And I was ready to start an even bigger project. The thing that really sucks about all of this, was that I had all this free time, an...

Yeah, it's not looking too good is it?

I'm really sitting on this one. I haven't decided whether I'll ever find the time in my busy life to work on this anymore.

I suppose I ought to post some more pics. These are all a little old, but who cares?

Read the first page. there is no remake.

I always feel like your posts are nagging every team that ever starts a project, daventry.

I liked Episode 1. Episode 2 I thought was the worst. Seemed way too rushed. Lots of nice effects and stuff, but it's like the story was rushed in parts so the action could take place and it seems like there's way too much of it. I wish George would have listened to Steven Spielburg and let him dir...

I don't feel like typing it again, so i'll copy and paste what I wrote on a journal a while back. I think a couple things may have influenced this dream: -The movie waking life -Dawn of the Dead (Strange, cause i've only seen this once, and I think it was about a year ago now) -the african movie we'...

I'm performing with my band tonight (Working Title: Critics of the Contemporary Scene). If someone happens to take sweet photos, I'll post some.
