Why hello there.

So I teamed up with another writer since my current one is taking the SATs today (GOOD LUCK!) and is generally a busy bee. We tossed around some good ideas, including an apocalyptic shooter-platformer. Honestly, I'd take any idea since any idea would be better than what I've published so far. But, of course, no matter how good the ideas are, I STILL NEED A RELIABLE ARTIST!!! This has been holding me back from coding seriously for a long time now. My RPG is still on hiatus until I finally get something better than a cube to represent my characters. That plus tons of AutoCAD projects for school (but, hey, it's better than learning MATLAB). I've been looking at a few Draw With Jazza tutorials so I can take the role of game-beautifier as well, but I'd need plenty of time and practice before I'd be able to make anything I'd want in a game.

Also, my desk sucks. There's no space for a tablet. Last year in my crappy dorm, I had extra space where I could put it. This year in my crappy apartment, there's no space. Because good desks cost money, and tens of thousands of dollars per student and millions from alumni can't get you a decent desk. Nor can it fix the elevators, which half the time skip my floor. Nor can it get you decent food. The food is keeping me alive, but it's also taking months off my life every time I eat there. It can afford godly internet, though. Fastest WiFi in southeast US plus ethernet that's 10-15 times faster is pretty nice. Until it stops working. Which has happened multiple times this year for no reason. But fast internet means nothing when the virtual desktops you have to use in class use Windows 8 Beta WHICH SUCKS SO MUCH. When the teacher and 80% of the class don't have computer access, it's time you switch back to Windows 7 WHICH WORKED FINE AND CHROME DOWNLOADS DIDN'T TAKE 5 MINUTES BECAUSE WINDOWS HATES GOOGLE AND FORCES ME TO USE INTERNET EXPLORER.
/college rant

Downloading programs and patches only takes 10 seconds though, that's pretty cool

And Game Jam. I participated in GJ6, but that didn't go very well...BUT I know what I'm doing now (I hope), so it should go much better this time. I figure my writer can join me, but I'd still need a musician and animator (big surprise there). Very few people have even posted in that thread as well...I assume because it's not AustinBreed's thread and IT TOOK ME A FRIGGIN WEEK TO FIND IT. It needs to be front paged or something... Since I couldn't join GJ7, I decided to test myself a bit with programming a lot in a short amount of time. It took me less than 12 hours each to make a platformer and some typing game thing, so that's very reassuring, considering I had only been making menus and stuff for my RPG and not entirely new concepts.

It's so nice to write something that doesn't focus on Wuthering Heights. It was a good book, but it was so painful to read, man.

TL;DR
College sucks, make art for me PLEASE
