So what are your hopes, dreams, and goals for the summer?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sat May 28, 2005 10:28 pm

I've started on my log. It is sure as hell not a journal! I have a day description, not listing every detail like a bored girl without a life, but just telling the day's highlights and recording crap I'd like to remember. Then, I have a list of games and playtimes, a daily overall rank, a daily mood (emo-core, cherry, etc.), daily deving achievements, and daily adventures. That may sound like a lot, but it's really not. I have no paper to record it on because I'm saving everything school related for when Showdin comes out so we can have our end of the year cook out, so I type it and print. Also, having my PDA and fold up keyboard help.

Anyway, as for my summer achievements:

1) I want to beat my list of 100 or so games
2) I'd like to get into SDL and maybe even DC deving
3) I want to get Showdin, my husband, out here
4) I'd like to finish the collection of American DC games
5) I want to learn to type rather than peck (I am typing this post, BTW)

I'll edit this post as more ideas come to me, but those are the top five.

Heh, I saw part of "The Chancellor" at Wutai's house. When I first started watching it, I about blew a spasm becuase it looked like the actors were real people, the detail on their faces creaped me out. Only later did I realize that they were figures. What I saw of the movie was very well done and interesting. I hope you finish soon Fred.

Wow, you thought I actually hired some old guys and invited them to my house? O.o Actually, that'd be pretty cool.

The detail was achieved by diming the lights and putting shadows on their faces. I was especially surprised by how the close-ups ended up looking like.

I have a new list of hopes and dreams!

1) I want to reserve Far Cry: Instincts.
2) I want to beat Max Payne 2.
3) I want to beat Burnout 3. (may not be possible)
4) I want to beat Half-Life.
5) I want to explore the far ends of the country on foot with JSL.

Ah, do you have Max Payne 2? The controls are horrible on Xbox. It's still an awesome game though.

What's so bad about the Xbox controls?

I don't have it yet but I'm getting it next time I can.

I didn't say anything bad about the Xbox's controls, I was specifically talking about Max Payne 2's. The problem with MP2's controls is that aiming is not as fluid as on PC (particulary when you're in the air).

Odd. I never posted it a second time.

Hrmm... maybe I just had a hearty case of deja vu.

I am trying to complete my Pokedex on Fire Red.

So far I've got 383.

I'm missing Mew, Jirachi, and Deoxys

*new goal*

I recently added a new thing to my "to-do list". I wrote a film recently called "American Godzilla". Stupid idea, stupid characters, just like every other film I've ever made.

I figure I'm going to make it a marionette movie (similar to that of "Team America"), and have one of my friends walk around in a cheaply made Godzilla suit, while swatting at little toy helicopters. If you think this sounds bad, you should see my "Attack of the 50 foot beaver" movie. All the people are made from popsicle sticks.
