6Bit Studios: Midnight Rumble | Dog model

We're working away at our Senior Project for 4th year IMD. Here's a snap of how the "dog" character is looking. Just a quick render, nothing special. I know the pose is weird but its the best positioning for rigging and skinning later on.

Guitar Hero: Aeroshit

Put in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the first time at 6:30 pm tonight. Played for an hour and half or so. Got bored (and I play on expert) because, wouldn't you know it, Aerosmith sucks.

Went to work on some paperwork, watched Superbad with my roommate Thomas (who got 100% on the first 5 songs on hard so he switched to expert and was still bored like me). Went to get some pizza. Ate the pizza. Watched some comedy, then started playing again at 2am when everyone went to bed. Beat it about 15 minutes ago so that makes it, lemme see, approximately 4 hours of gameplay at the very most.

Now that's only one play through on Career without any bonus songs or other diffuculties or playing online for that matter. But the general consesus, its just Guitar Hero III for Aerosmith fanatics.

GamingExcellence Best of E3 2008 Award

I will not be able to attend E3 this year due to lack of funds on my part (for the flight, etc.), but GamingExcellence Senior Editor Shawn Snider will be going with two other journalists on our team to represent the site. They'll be handing out awards to the most promising games of E3, this award was created by yours truly so watch out for it if your going and let me know if you spot one!


We've also been working away at Gamesquirrel.com, but I doubt it will be ready for Summer '08 as previously planned. Check out the identity pics (click any pics for larger view) I've mocked up for now and check www.gamesquirrel.com regularly to see if something cool is there yet. ;)

Apparently Everyone is "Dying" to "Hang" with Me

Went to make a toasted tomato sangwich and came back to my comp and spidey was chillin' smack dab on the middle of my monitor. I thought it was odd that he didn't move when I snapped pics with my cell phone. I was gonna let him chill for 5 minutes before I killed his sorry ass for touching my gear, but then I got my S3 out and took some real pics because he hadn't moved.

Turns out he was dead.

Later I poked him and he fell of the monitor and went splat on my desk.

How inconsiderate.

Re-entering the world of blogging

I haven't blogged probably since the 12th grade or so. For those who know me that's over 3 years back. Now I'm not saying I haven't blogged in other ways, having profiles with who knows how many sites (GameSpot, PureVolume, last.fm, and twitter to name drop a few). I could probably have been the victim of identify theft about as many times a year as there are celebrity sex tapes for all I'm aware.

But none-the-less I'm back to blogging as I feel it's like a diary of your progress in life. I'm getting into more and more interesting things these days (work, music, design, life, etc.) and I'd like to share them with anyone bored or lonely enough to care.

Let's start with the fact that I think google is going to take over the world. I keep signing up for their services, slowly but surely they get me with one at a time. It's like I gotta catch 'em all.
