Arrggg

[old news] Anino Raid. Talking to some autodesk service people and my boss who is a veteran 3d modeler and animator, for learning purposes Autodesk won't really chase after the small fry. In fact Piracy is one of the best ways of building a large User base for a program. If you think about it, the cost of the software and the cost to train people to use it makes for it a terribly expensive investment.

Small time piracy, is in the equation of every major software company. Its an unspoken rule, all they have to do is leak it and not act on the piracy and they will have an edge over their competitor. These companies don't have active dedicated agents looking for pirated copies, why else are all the major computer pirate hubs not raided frequently?

The only time you should be worried about being raided is if you can afford to pay and you're not paying. Its not hard to spot a company who is earning THAT MUCH. It's the MEDIA business and getting your stuff out is what makes it easy for that Software company to check you out. They aren't even the type to fast draw to the law, its easier just to give a gentle nudge here and there with an offer of their improved services. Why bring legal forces in unless its a BIG and obvious infraction: something like a company every filipino gamer knows about?

I guess when Anino got raided and from their public statement, you might think they could have handled the matter MUCH better.

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.
