Lego is Still Cool

[Lego is Still Cool]

But... my wallet...

I have been thinking a lot about buying either Mindstorm or that LEGO train that my mom never bought me when I was a kid.

[Organising Yourself]

Yeah, I still just use Notepad / .txt file on my desktop to write down all my tasks and ideas and bug reports. Using a bug tracker / issue manager is good at the phase when you have a lot of playtesters coming in, but at the starting phase it just feels like talking to yourself and making it needlessly complicated and slow.

[Twin Peaks Rewatch 2: Traces to Nowhere]

The fish in the percolator was something that apparently happened to David at some point. I can't remember if it was Pretty As Picture or the Short Films dvd or what but I remember him talking about it in some interview.

[Why do you make games? (Real Talk)]

To quote Mr Krabs: Money!

 

 

Seriously, though, I am not sure exactly why I want to make games. I don't really see myself doing anything else.

 

Sure I like the other aesthetic or thematic elements, but to be honest ever since I got into game development I've almost stopped playing games, and would rather whip up a prototype or learn some new piece of middleware instead.

 

This is true for me. Unless the game is really good, I find myself just thinking about my own project and wanting to go back to it.

[Farscape]

I definitely feel like the show doesn't start properly until Scorpius shows up. I think the last time I watched Farscape I skipped almost all of season one.

[3D Modeling]

I still use Softimage XSI ModTool, though sometimes I feel like I am the last person using it. There's a lot of problems, like you can't do animations clips, or you can't properly merge two different scenes. Still I am weirdly attached to it.
