    The Fellowship...

    By Vezok's Friend,

    On December 12th, Shire-year 2010 in the 3rd age of middle-earth, 9 companions will set out to view all three LotR-movies in one night. 
    And we'll have snacks and lots of caffeine for the night until we get out of the cinema around 4-ish.
     
    Good times are ahead ^^

    Our current project until January is plastilin modelling a creature. We're only into the second week of it and the things each of us is working on are coming along nicely. Of course the tables are only filled with conversations about wonky proportions, internet meme's and geeky game-talk  
    And here's my pet for the project. Ain't he cute!? ^^
     
    Oh and it is snowing again! <3
     
    Drive safely everyone!

    "I want you to take a piece of paper and start scribbling away. Don't think, just draw and as soon as you think there is something in your linework that you can use start randomly developing from there." 
    Our last task for the day, to be continued tomorrow ^^
     
    Oh and our teacher has worked on movies like 10.000B.C. and the perfume, the man has serious skills!
     
    Which he will teach us which in turn will lead up to eventually designing a head and modeling out of plastilin. SO HYPED!

    Windom

    By Vezok's Friend,

    Procrastination sucks. Especially if the procrastination consists of serious mocing which left me faced with having to write the last 4000 words of my story in less then three hours.
    November is one of those months that need a 31st.
    But it is done. Thanks to fast-paced soundtrack and a sudden increase in the ability to write coherent sentences while typing fast.
     
    I shall celebrate by bombing bad guys from high altitudes with highly explosive bombs dropped from hyper modern jets, aka HAWX2...or I could defeat an evil army of sandy soldiers in Persia. Or fly a sweet helicopter armed to the teeth...
     
    And so the cowboy rides off into the sunset again.

    There you are, totally immersed in the movie happening in front of your eyes and then this happens: 
    *Light goes on, a guy is standing next to the controls*
     
    "Excuse me, everbody!"
     
    *Stops movie*
     
    "But we've got a problem and we have to clear out the whole building."
     
    But everybody got a free ticket to come back another day...

    Argh!

    By Vezok's Friend,

    Do you sometimes come online and realize you've been in robot mode for two weeks and neither checked friend's profiles, RPG topics or the front-page? 
    I feel like a stranger on the website that I've been with the longest... -.-
  13. Vezok's Friend
    No, not the Pilgrim movie, that's a close second, I'm talking bout the project us gamedesigners at my college are currently working on  
    Stay tuned for more info ^^ I'll try to post a collage of all the chara-designs by the start of next week!

    I felt the big big need to put Nano on hold for a day and play through the 2008 Prince of Persia game again, which I only noticed yesterday, I never tried out on my newer PC, where it runs pretty smooth these days. 
    So, I just finished it an hour ago and again this feeling of a wasted opportunity has struck me.
     
    What I did remember from the first play-through was the time it took to finish.
    It is a really beautiful world Ubisoft created here, very innovative too and the basic plot was established pretty well, but why, why is this game so long?
    To stop the evil god from escaping you have to fight is vassals. Sure, why not. But each of them six times? With little to no change of the mostly quick-time-event based combat? Ugh.
    I combined the boring with the useful and played most of the game today during lecture without sound.
    The game is just too long for the content it offers. My fllow aspiring game-designers agree, too.
     
    I did like the twist-ending though. Love wins, at a cost.
    But with all the time you invested to get this far, I was really annoyed at it too the first time, when the Prince just decided to undo your hard work of the last 50 hours.
    They could have done much more with this new game after the Sands of time trilogy, but no dice.
    And no sequel in sight... -.-
     
    Oh well. Let's shelf this thing, put some art down for it *wink wink* and install Mirror's Edge instead
  15. Vezok's Friend
    As you may or may not know I also will do the Nano this year again. After last years admittedly halfway quit on attempt, this year I have a plot, I have charachters and I think I can pull through with this one. 
    And I will start writing, right now. Don't expect me to be online much. Maybe a bit BZPRPGing inbetween (yay, more writing?).
     
    See y'all!

    Long Weekend

    By Vezok's Friend,

    Just before I was getting ready today to leave the house I suddenly found an e-mail in my inbox, telling me that today's class is not happening since our prof is sick. 
    I was looking forward to Drama/Conception...oh well,tomorrow then^^
     
    So, I have another full day, to procrastinate, play DAO and get ready for Nanowrimo.
     
    Oh yes, and I also have all the time for a good breakfast now...maybe a second even?

    Tetris' Creed?

    By Vezok's Friend,

    That pretty much sums up my homework for today.  
    Sum up the rules behind an old-school game like Tetris or Pac Man within a short paragraph, so that any programmer given these 5 lines of text would come up with the same result.

    We Are Assassins

    By Vezok's Friend,

    The first week of the Gamedesign Course is over, the Meet'n'Greet has passed, I still don't know all the names, but we're in-deep into our first project already, after two lectures on Copyright and the History of Videogames, respectively. 
    Pong was not the first Video-Game btw. I still wish I had a Pong Console-Table here though. Oh well, the Crysis Nano-Edition and AC:B Codey Edition will have do instead
     
    Which leads back to the aforementioned Project: Writing a post-mortem document and preparing a presentation for Assassin's Creed II.
     
    I'd say that's darned cool. So, I'll get back to gaming...uhm, schoolwork, now.
     
    EDIT: Just preordered AC:B Codex edition. Yummy!

    Chim-chim Cheree

    By Vezok's Friend,

    Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) is 75 today? Whoa ^^ 
    Speaking of years, I think I'll get my hands on the remastered John Lennon CDs.
     
    And even more talk about remastered stuff: Starwars I-VI in 3D?

    Pancakes <3

    By Vezok's Friend,

    Bought a new sorting box for all my Lego pieces, took care of some errands, cleaned my room up further and went to Granma's to make Pancakes with her. Yummy!  
    I'd say this qualifies as a good day, though not a 100% sure.

    It's sunny, I just worked on some chores while freshly brewing coffee. 
    You're welcome to have a cup and some marble-cake,
    or some tea, if that is more to your liking, hang out here and take a break ^^
     
    I'll work on some art in the meantime.
     
    Have a good day everyone!
