... yeah, my job's not half bad, but there's seriously something wrong with the program. Thank the gods my part of it seems to work....

General | Posted 17 years ago... or a couple dozen.
Regardless, a man with 2 pistols and some grenades/prox mines should NOT be able to take down hundreds of highly-trained soldiers.
I only used my sub-machine gun when some asswipe pushed me out of a helicopter and there were doods everywhere.
Yes, children. F.E.A.R. can be played with nothing more than pipe-bombs and 9mm's. You will become a one-man army.
That, or I've gotten good at fucking with the AI and own at guerrilla warfare... which I doubt.

General | Posted 17 years agoGoddamnit. This is seriously day 4 of me not being able to even really focus on anything.
I've been wanting to draw for like... a week now. And nothing.
Ugh.
I should walk on into the cockpit and demand my free peanuts... then kick that fuckin' pilot in the nuts. Bastard knows he deserves it.

General | Posted 17 years agoUmmm..... yeah.....
I'm gonna need those TPS reports....
I'm gonna need those TPS reports....
Beware, here there be drama!
General | Posted 17 years agoIt's the classic tune to art sites, and FA is no exception.
Doesn't matter what you do or where you go: Drama will follow you to the ends of the earth only to dance upon your grave. If we're not attacking the ego and self-esteem of of young artists who are only just learning how to draw, we're lobbing grenades at those who have managed to establish themselves with wild claims.
Even those who have made a few slip-ups in their time are still here; it's a simple matter of all coming from the same roots. At one point or another, you're that nameless guy on the net with nothing to show but a few sketches that pale in comparison to those glowing pieces in our Favorites folder.
Now, riddle me this:
If we feel it so necessary to bring down everything around us, then why are there still artists? Why would they do some of the things they do, if not to learn or better themselves?
Of course, my previous question will not pertain for long, as more and more of us are disappearing. I hold little faith in this site, and only retain a DA account so I can actually look at art without dealing with shit on the side.
But that's rhetorical, since it seems the shit has never left.
I almost wonder if it's even worth staying.

Gamer Blog -- State of Affairs
General | Posted 17 years agoHere's to a gaming blog.
Okay, I'll admit I'm a picky gamer. I only like games that are fun and entertaining and feel unique. I understand that's a pretty tall order in today's market of mainstreamed look-alikes and remakes of popular games.
But riddle me this: why are so many of the newer games that are coming out all the same?
The answer is in the community.
As the ages of gamers -- particularly those who play online games such as MMOs -- continues to lower, developers are being pushed to make more child-friendly and mainstreamed games. No longer do we have complex environments with deep story lines filled with the unseen horrors of some dark force so rife with violence and mayhem that you and you alone can stop it.
Things are explained through animated and interactive tutorials instead of guide books. Everything from moving to picking your nose in-game is explained by some adorable little character on your screen.
Worse yet, themes have shifted from epic tales to cutesy fantasies with more and more childish-looking avatars, graphics, and monsters. Now, don't get me wrong; games like Ragnarok Online made cute monsters into a cult hit -- and I can tell you I do enjoy cute graphics... but sometimes it's too much for my teeth.
Even the overall spirit of games has faltered. When once, you had to assemble a carefully selected party and grab a bunch of items to make sure you'd maybe, maybe get the boss this time, now you simply have to power-play and look up the latest broken build on the forums. Achievement and fulfillment are no longer the stratagems of online gaming; they have been replaced by number-crunching, loot-whoring, and power-leveling to be the biggest, baddest, shiniest thing out there.
Now, we all understand that the focus of many games is a level and class-based system in which the character must gain experience in various ways in order to gain strength to thus progress through the game. But spending hours on end wailing on the same damned monsters to get that next level isn't just tedious, it's stupid. Worse yet, this has become a common "Filler" for quests in which we must kill either X of some monster, or collect Y of another mob's drops.
In games where attributes and stats play a key role, these tasks can become even more difficult. In the popular game Trickster Online I managed to go from level 2 to level 7 off the same damned fluff red spike-puffs without even finding that stupid pair of socks... over 20 minutes. Who does that? Heck, my dumb-as-a-plank bunny-girl managed to get them after 4 kills and this crazy-luck lion can't even get it in 30 (and manages to get the mid-chance drop at an 80% rate)?
This has lead to one major oversight in the gaming world. While we strive to streamline games and make them more mainstream and open to players of all ages, we often detract from the actual gameplay. The aforementioned Trickster was rebuilt to include your first 24~30 levels being a massive, drawn out tutorial (I stopped on day three at Lv26 after grinding over 5 different chars before deciding that the game was even more unbalanced than the first version).
If you're still reading this rant, prepare to get peeved. This is where I'm going to hope my Dexterity modifier is high enough to dodge all your mice and keyboards -- and maybe desk-lamps if I'm unlucky.
While many classic games have become the iconic parents of others, I can't help but notice that a lot of new games are doing something wrong. While they may build on the fun and innovative ideas and features of these older games, they lack one very necessary piece in particular: CONTENT.
Games like World of Warcraft, an obscenely popular popularity contest of douche-bag 12-year-olds with too much allowance has little more than a pissing-contest for a story line and graphics that looks like like a renovated version of Mario 64 (Hey, that nose was still badass and you know it!).
Sure, WoW has some nifty features like epic mounts, high-level glowy armor, multiple races, factions, racism, and guilds.... but that's kind alike ordering a gourmet Vegi-Burger. It's pretty, but it's not real.
Even FFXI lacks in this department. Its graphics are sub-par, the control system is designed for a console, and overall, it's impossible to play without a party after level 10 (In fact, waiting for 3 hours to get a party that lasts for 5 minutes is considered "Good").
This holds true for a lot of new games, where story is along the lines of "(Adjective) shit happend, and now (Adjective) adventurers must band together to save the world from (Noun/Adverb)!". Story is the element of every game designed to hook you. Not the flashy (or cartoony graphics), not the cool classes or races, or that awesome ram-looking thing that flies. If there's no story, all you're doing is having a pretty grind-fest.
I guess the last thing I'm gonna bitch about is the fact that every game looks alike. I dare you to cruise through a list of games (ex: mmosite.com) and tell me how many Ragnarok Online, Lineage II, World of WarcraftEverquest, Rising Force Online, and Maple Story dupes you find. The numbers are saddening.
While I have nothing against attempts to best the competition, many games and game companies are faltering with sub-par graphics, content, and game play. I've seen more games where I've said "Oh, this looks fun", but immediately after seeing a few reviews of the Closed Beta or playing it for a day or two, I can't help but say "Wow, this sucks."
Here's hoping that the developers pull their heads out of their asses and start coming up with exciting new games.

Journal a la Tech
General | Posted 17 years agoSo I'm sitting here at 1:05AM EST and realizing... holy crap, I just recoded an old project of mine in like, no time at all and got farther.
Big deal, really.
Here's the fun part, though:
I'm making a text-based file-transfer client that runs in your system's terminal (X/Dos) and allows a user with Java to send and receive files off a server.
It's pretty simple so far, and uses a randomly selected number to identify each file (it's small scale, but supports up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 files). I might have it display the ID in hex, though... easier for the user; thus, file "46,311,972" is "2c2aa24"
I call it..... NoFi.
If you understood the subtle and pathetic humor involved in the name, I give you a cookie.

Mystery Note
General | Posted 17 years agoWell... okay...
I have this magical note that won't go away and I can't quite seem to find.
I wonder if it's some super-special note that, when sent to people, makes strange and magical things happen.
... maybe I should also write an anime about it.

I need to update more x_X
General | Posted 17 years agoYes, yes I do.
I swear I'll draw soon... I just need to kick my muse in the nuts a bit more and bitch it out. Figuratively, of course. People would stare if I started shouting obscenities at like, a tree or something.
---
In other news, I had some more blood work done. Can't remember which test was which, but one was positive, the other borderline (~0.98). They were CRP and Lyme Antibodies.
That doesn't sound very good.

What is you middle name?: Michael... which I kinda like.
Are you for or against a gay marriage?: Marriage is a really odd human concept that really just signifies the desire of two individuals to want to share their lives for the duration of their lives. It's like taking a mate, but with a more official title. ... I think what I'm for is 'equality'.
What are your thoughts on abortion?: Whatever. It's your choice, right?
Do you have a crush on anyone?: Yes... ^^;
Are you afraid of the dark?: Normally when it's like, just me... all alone... in a creepy place... ...hold me.
How do you want to die?: Well, if it comes to a time where I will, I think simply going *poof* and disappearing would be cool... but otherwise, just a nice happy one. Nothing major. Though, it'd also be cool to know I changed something in the world.
What is the largest amount of popsicles that you have eaten on one day?: Quite a bit...?
Would you take a bullet for the one you love?: How about make sure there wouldn't even be a bullet :3
Are there any rules you've broken?: Rule-sets are flawed and usually contain heinous, backwards double-logic that only causes an anarchic uproar in intelligent beings. Also, if a rule is broken, it's probably a dumb one.

Greatest fear: .... I am not going there.
Darkest secret: They're so dark, I can't find them :<

Would you kill someone you hate for a million dollars?: psssht.... bet I could find someone who'd pay way more for me to knock someone off the food chain.
What is you middle name?: Michael... which I kinda like.
Are you for or against a gay marriage?: Marriage is a really odd human concept that really just signifies the desire of two individuals to want to share their lives for the duration of their lives. It's like taking a mate, but with a more official title. ... I think what I'm for is 'equality'.
What are your thoughts on abortion?: Whatever. It's your choice, right?
Do you have a crush on anyone?: Yes... ^^;
Are you afraid of the dark?: Normally when it's like, just me... all alone... in a creepy place... ...hold me.
How do you want to die?: Well, if it comes to a time where I will, I think simply going *poof* and disappearing would be cool... but otherwise, just a nice happy one. Nothing major. Though, it'd also be cool to know I changed something in the world.
What is the largest amount of popsicles that you have eaten on one day?: Quite a bit...?
Would you take a bullet for the one you love?: How about make sure there wouldn't even be a bullet :3
Are there any rules you've broken?: Rule-sets are flawed and usually contain heinous, backwards double-logic that only causes an anarchic uproar in intelligent beings. Also, if a rule is broken, it's probably a dumb one.

When this exact journal is updated, my new profile will be ready. Look for it very soon!

Aside:
I've been sick for about a week now... extreme fatigue and nothing more than an intense desire to just lay in bed. Hell, I probably could have killed myself if I didn't monologue in the car for an hour straight while driving back from Rochester.
Being able to say I've been up for over 12 straight hours two days in a row is kind of an accomplishment, as sad as that may seem.

Moving Soon
General | Posted 18 years agoSo yeah. I'll actually be starting up a new user soon and whatnot. Brand new start and everything.
You'll all get a link to it once it's ready :3

Bitchyness Get!
General | Posted 18 years agoWho the fuck said you could get a 200 on your SAT and still get into college?
Please explain this to me, because right now, my floor is the perfect representation of this exact oversight.
Better yet: why the hell is IQ not tested before being given a chance to enter college?

Under Pressure
General | Posted 18 years agoMusic of the Day: Queen - 'Under Pressure'
Guh... well, whatever.
This week has been shit for me. Outside of class and more crap dealing with classes... it's just been rough dealing with a few personal things.
Also turns out that my friend Stef will most likely be going to another college next year, which will suck... a lot. I really do like her.. she's so nice to talk to.
In other news, of course, things have been really weird around people.
I mean, yeah... I understand yesterday was Valentines Day, but holy shit, guys! Don't get so fuckin' stressed! At least you guys get to go home and see your significant other in two and a half weeks...
... my boyfriend happens to be 1200 miles away from me right now.
*sighs* Meh... still feel kinda bad not being able to get him anything.
---
In retrospect, I thought to myself this morning. I guess I understand why my parents and people get so pissed off at me for being lackadaisical... but it's really just how I cope with things. Sometimes just a little distraction can be the difference between being happy and depression.
Also... I've been thinking about something my mom said before I went back to college.
She said that I'd probably not ever tell her if I were to be dating someone.
Of course, this is a rather true statement in a way, but it hurt in a way. I don't even really know how to think about it.
It's harder to understand when you can't be sure just what you parents see in you, or even what they believe.
... trust me, trying to tell them that yes, you have a boyfriend and have been trying to figure out how to get with him for quite some time (two years, has it been?) is.... awkward.
I mean, yeah, it's a weird thing to talk to your parents about romantic interests and all... but jeez, people. It's bad enough being gay and not being able to even really talk about it in the family.. please don't pressure me with that stuff.

Things I don't see every day
General | Posted 18 years ago1. Yuri AMVs at the RIT anime club showing
2. 50% of Icecream at Ben & Jerry's (pretty good gig for Discount Chocolate Day, if you ask me)
3. Firefox rendering an image backwards... Like, reverse stream or something...
4. My inbox having 8 red images that I haven't checked yet due to constant activity in the room.

I seem to be making a habit of this
General | Posted 18 years agoWilliam Ackerman is amazing. I love his work. It's also slowly helping me to get to sleep.
... something I've already gotten 12 hours of or so.
Warning: Rant
In other news, the advising thing didn't go over well... so right now I need to go around to professors and ask them to put me into their classes... which means actually finding them in the first place.
Another thing I learned is that my old IMM prof hasn't updated my grade with my retaken final yet. How lovely.
I'm pretty tempted to drop out of college and go elsewhere, seeing as I'm now only registered for 1 course next quarter and was told that I should "wait until students start dropping out of classes so as to jump on the open spots when the opportunity arrives".
I don't think she realized that I'll be fined for being in the residence halls... or that I might get kicked out for not having classes.
Not that I really care.... from the look of it, the department (game design) doesn't even have its shit together to a point where things go like this:
Program is originally approved to be a joint CS-IT major.
CS reports not having enough profs.
New Media takes over CS' position.
Campus alerts students of new Game Design major.
Most students with preexisting concentrations do not receive the notification.
Nearly 600 or more students are left out.
Shit hits the fan during orientation.
Seats fill up too fast.
There is a lack of profs.
CS manages to get enough resources to take back over.
Numbers and courses are changed.
Students aren't notified that certain courses are only offered at certain times.
Even more shit hits the fan.
Email is sent out alerting students that those wishing to enter Game Design must have a strong programming background/GPA + write 1-2 pg paper on why they wish to enter the program.
Modifications are only to be accepted after March 16th -- after the start of Spring Quarter.
Shit hits the fan again.
In effect, "non-matriculated" students (those not registered for the major) can't even take half the classes ahead of time... especially those offered at normal times; although a good 50% or more are offered at certain times in the year, are not even being offered, or have changed prerequisites.
What the hell RIT. What in the bleeding hell.
