Work Problems and Random Thoughts

Thanks for the congrats Thomas and Pat. Its not a perfect dream but it will do given the circumstance.

Work circumstances. Right now I'm having some computer trouble, this 1.8GHz, 1gDDR, IBM thinkcentre(C) computer is very unsuitable for work so I'm kinda forced to do some stuff at home. When the work program crashes all the time and having no productivity getting done I feel scared for my job. It makes me look lazy when i have to make computer excuses. I wish I knew it couldn't take it BUT my computer at home has roughly the same specs and is cluttered with viruses and fragmented disks but could still do the job I'm doing now. I don't know why its that BIG of a difference in performance... (maybe its the video processing problem with the screen size (1600 x 1050) but if I go smaller its screws up and I cant access some options... hmmm

The Garage Band Game Programmers. To produce a game around the quality that would attact enough international support like Mount and Blade you would need a garage band of programmers: The lead Programmer, equivalent to the lead guitarist-he/she will be doing most of the programing, mixing between several other disciplines needed for the game. These disciplines are: Physics, Audio, User Interface, Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Input, and possibly network programmer.

Guys not only have to manage their time and achieve small presentable projects that can show stage by stage progress for investors but have to be very motivated and willing to dig out of their own expenses to make things work. Same goes for the Graphics guys who must be able to Animate, Model, render and tinker with the Graphics programing.

I guess I'm with the graphics guy, who is technically the front man because of the visibility of the role. I'll try to learn Graphics programming and Audio programming since I have a background in both. Doubling also as the teaser trailer guy who will try to make that whole thing.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
