The RPI events start to begin
With the third week of classes out of the way, the RPI events start to begin. The Hockey Line tailgate party happened this week, which gave me an opportunity to try out my puck shooting skills against the Men’s Hockey goalie (I lost), so that was a pretty good start. Today, I’m probably going to [...]
Well, I’m back
Well, I’m back. The school year is already 2/15 complete, and classes continue like I never left. This year is a little different, though, as I started my own business over the summer. The way you view the world is so much different when you can pay your bills, believe me. You start thinking “Hey, [...]
Classes are over but the journey continues
Traveling from distant states is quite the experience, believe me. All the long-distance travelers tend to arrive at the same time and use the same group of flights/trains/buses, so there’s always someone to talk to on the last leg of the journey.
Life at RPI is amazing …
The Game Jam was awesome. Nothing beats sitting down for eight hours and working non-stop. You end up with weird and wacky games at the end, which is most of the fun. The theme was “One Button Games.”
A lot goes into making video games
There aren’t words to describe the sheer boundless waves of work that come on the last couple weeks of classes. Presentations, in-class final exams, essays, etc. … all come due in the same short span of time.
I can smell the air again!
The temperature has finally gone over the sixty-degree mark and the wind has picked up. In my humble opinion, the best weather at RPI is definitely high winds and a temperature in the 60s. I’m absolutely overjoyed.
The semester will be over in only a month
It’s time to prepare for my final tests. I don’t have a real final this semester, as all my classes are having the finals in class. It makes me realize something, though: The semester will be over in only a little over a month—I’m almost in shock. It has gone by too fast! I had so much more I wanted to do this year! Ah, well. Time to start planning summer vacation.
Another week flies by before I know it …
Another week flies by before I know it … My client is very enthusiastic about what I’ve been sending him so far. Looks like my next game-making tutorial will be Tank Hunter. It’s a 3D single-player action game where the player and computer are dropped on a hazardous landscape and hunt each other down.
Busiest week I’ve had in a loooooong time
This has been the busiest week I’ve had in a loooooong time. On Sunday, I was asked by an Australian professor to make tutorials for Unity (Unity3D.com) at the proposed payment of $100 per tutorial. Naturally, I accepted.
Blah, blah, blah, FUN
Classes have resumed! The sky is bright, the air is warm, and students yell for joy (during class, even!) as they get their tests back. As is the tradition, the instant spring break ends, the weather gets awesome.
