Well, the guy from Shaw came out today. Said he might have to come back, but for the moment... mein modem, herr bin werkin. Or something. In other words, I can now send random, small bits of information across der internet. Like my new story. Which, btw, can be found heeeeere --> http://aryion.com/modules.php?name=2&g2_itemId=91446

Oh, I should warn you now... First, please don't blame me if you get offended, cuz there's a few things in there that some people frown on, and second, this isn't any aw-shucks. As in, it's not another 23-pager.



So. What else has happened... my cat has fleas... so I gotta do somethin' about that. Still looking for a new job. Considering a few places, but a lot of them seem to suck. If, by the...

GOD, I have a headache... and it's a bad one... a brown pasta one... Cursed food deficiency...

But the game I said about earlier, it's getting done, you understand? The only things left to do, really, were

-Something to happen when HP =0;
-Game over sequence;
-Intro sequence;

The something to happen now is done, and ties in with the game over sequence (a 3-frame fade animation). There's still the intro left, but really, I'd just like to be done with it. Hence, the first person to comment and state a preference can decide whether I do the intro or submit it immediately. w00t!

So anyway, that means I can get back the my comic project. Which is woot.

I've also learned that I either suck with tracing...

SHUT UP I can be excited about it now if I want.

Well... not "excited" per se, but... I get stuff... so w00t.

ANYWAY. DragonballZ: Budokai Tenka'Ichi 2 is apparently out on Nov 7. Now, lemme 'splain something here. This thing looks perfect. It combines all the features of previous Budokai games that made them good. Cinema scenes from the first. Tag teams from the second (only not limited to two). The world map from the third. Customizable moves, BUT a separate section for moves and transformations (And anyone who played the third one can back me up when I say SSJ4 needing 5 move slots is ridiculous and retarded and retardediculous). Again from the third, customizable power for characters. The awesome engine from Tenka'Ichi 1, only with the cinematics of the...

Well, it's no VRPG... but it's something.

I have been working on a comic book... not sure if I mentioned it here or not, and frankly, I'm too lazy to highlight what I've written so far, check, then come back and Ctrl+V. So I'll assume it doesn't matter. But that project is on hold for a little bit (might be able to start it again on Monday, since I'd like to actually finish this before going back) so that I can work on this game. What is this game?

Simply put, it's Super Mario Bros. 2, if I had been the one programming it. Probably woulda put Nintendo outta business... for legal reasons, not necessarily quality reasons. ANY CASE. Peach falls into Subcon (I think it's called) and has to fight off a horse. And some other stuff... Well, it's a crap...

Let me tell you a story.

No, not a good story. Just a story.

I was 15, I think, when I first figured out how to work der internet. And by work, I mean actually use it to talk to people. But before that, I was 14. Xomg, I knoez! Anyway.

I used to think, back then, the way many kids did: Adults aren't so smart, they just never give kids a chance. I thought I knew all the answers, but I never actually gave any thought to those answers. I thought Communism was a good system in theory; Now I know even in theory it's a load of crap. I thought people would want to help with my projects as long as I put them in the credits; Now I know that I wouldn't, so I wonder why I ever expected others to.

So anyway, I've been a member...

Well, I fixed my H key. I thought it was just getting worn out, but then I realized it worked fine if I hit the exact center, not the corner. So, through about an hour of jiggling, toothpicks, retrieving those toothpicks, crying, watching TV, and dropping the whole laptop... I FIXED IT. Now it's jammed on properly, and it hasn't bothered me since. *Final Fantasy Victory Music*

Soo... wrote a couple interactive chapters on writing.com... nothing special, nvm.

But something that is special... I've read a book that's beyond helpful. "Super Self" by Charles J Givens. Definitely a recommend for anyone who doesn't want to live in the gutter their whole lives. It's a quick read (took me two days) but it conveys so much wisdom and business sense it's...

Well.

Firstly, a new discovery. Apparently I don't need sleep anymore.

I thought the first time I went to bed at 2 AM and couldn't get to sleep until 7:30 was bad. It's continuing a bit. But, for some reason, I'm not half tired. It's currently 1:08 AM, and by now I'd ordinarily be drowsy, but not a thing. It's not even affecting my energy or will. Oh sure, near the end of the night when I finally start falling asleep my heart's beating insanely for some reason, and I find it hard to breathe, but until then and after that... nothing. I dunno if this is a problem or not, but frankly, I like the extra hours. Oh sure, some day I might keel over and sleep for hours in a totally inconvenient place, but until then... w00t!

I've been having less and...

Seems a tad odd that I've never actually thought on this, but oh well...

I've become more mature somehow. I think one of the biggest reasons for it is that I'm working on opening a store with friends, though I'm not sure it was a direct result.

Suppose I should elaborate there. I've never been terribly mature. After graduation from high school, for years I didn't grow up. I'd always be making immature jokes or gestures, funny voices, inconsiderate of others entirely. To put it bluntly, I was a jerk. The kind you wouldn't want at a social function that doesn't involve chugfests. (Ironic, since I don't drink.)

But lately, I've become more focused, more determined. I can talk to women now, which is something I could never do before, and my...

Well, today was quite awesome. Had a business meeting with friends, now we're quite a bit closer to the store we're going to open. Many awesome ideas are now in the open, and we're gonna act on 'em.

Sooo, very little to actually say. Working on an art-based project for the first time in quite a while, turning out fine. Taking a heck of a lot longer than I expected, since I have to work on it in bursts (Damned people won't quit looking over my shoulder) and trees... TREES!!! I hate trees so dang much. They take forever when there's a lot of them and they always turn out crappy. I dunno, maybe my technique just sucks. For that matter, maybe my art does too. But wait!

I've noticed this. My sketches are poor, moderate at best. My outlining is subpar. My coloring...
