Major sparetimequelch, game making, oh brother!

This is me not doing any school for the time being :)
Happy times you might say. It is, REALLY!!

Suddenly I have a lot of spare time on my hands. AND it's raining. Add it up, and it makes for Computer-time.

So I have undertaken a couple of impossible tasks:

1. I am trying to make a remake of the classic DOS-game "Jones in the Fast lane". A simple career game. Probably the predecessor of Sims. The master plan is to make a 3D landscape in Blender, and use the Blender game engine to remake the game. I am well on my way of making the two first tiles of the map. (it has 10) I call the game "Tux in the Fast lane".

2. I had a crazy idea to remake Ducktales. It kept my mind racing and made me stay up late (in bed) to plan how to all in my head. The plan is the same, although I plan to make the animation in 3D, the gameplay will be in 2D sidescrolling, or up or down or whatever. I'm probably going to have the most trouble with the "Launchpad McQuack-flying" part of the game. Or maybe that will be the easiest. I don't know - Because I have to LEARN everything!!!
Game-name: TuxTales.

3. Another game-making idea. (This will have to wait till I'm well on my way with 1. or 2. And I really have forgotten what it was! LORDY!!!! Oh well, it'll come back to me soon. O! OOO! Oh!!! I got it. It's a rather complex task of remaking a simpler and heavily modified version of "Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space".

All made in Blender game engine, all plesant futile tasks. Wish me luck!

The event horizon day is 12. May...

Exams, finals, whatever...

This is the deciding day of what I might do in the autumn (maybe even this summer?) It's like this:

1. I pass the test ( I will not diminish and go into the west and remain Galadriel :D )

2. I get a 2nd. test to pass in august/ early september. I pass it and get to take my final year. I will need to take another test that will make me math free for life! I will still need to pass all exams for final year as well.

1.1 I fail the first test. I can't take the 2nd. stest. I get to start looking for a job.

2.1 I fail the 2nd. test. I get to start looking for a Job.

Soooo: No pressure at all!!!!! Just do the best I can and follow the flow.

Linda, the love of my life, is a great help! Thank you! I love you!

Alligator Gar! Cooool! :D

I take a moment pause from studying to bring you this treat:

An Alligator Gar!



Take a moment to reflect the similarities with it's name brother. This is a freshwater fish that grow to over 200lb's and 10 feet!

It's a FISH!

It made it into my consciousness via the Discovery Channel last night.

How I love gigantism!

Ahhh... New sound-system for my Ubuntu Desktop.

And this is an excellent sound-system too. And fairly cheap as well. 399,- NOK at Elkjøp. Initially I was going to buy the Creative T3130. That decision was changed AT THE STORE, due to a possibility to save 100,- and come home with a newer and better model - the Creative T3200.



So now I can get the really good experience from games and music like I need.

It's a 2.1 sound-system. It enhances mp3's really well. It's spacefirendly, but have some wire-issues due to a MECHANICAL (WOW!) volume-button :D It also comes with a standard 3.5mm standard mini-jack. This I can connect to my n900 and play off sound directly. Cool? YES!

I realize I get extra happy when I spend money well. This is vital for my money-spending. After a couple of "bad ideas" I get into non-consuming-mode. Having spent my hard-earned cash on stupidity is a real pain in the bum :)

Now we are closing in on the RSVP from our wedding-invitations. Most have accepted, a few are unable to make it, and some are unresponsive - for now. We gladly accept your answer, how ever it may be. Though we hope you all can make it! :)
