I recently dropped plans for getting a bachelor's in game and simulation programming, mainly because DeVry is too expensive, not to mention full of crap. Now I'm gonna try to go the route I should have taken originally, and just get an associate's at city college, then go for a bachelor's in computer science at state At present, however, I'm on a break from school, possibly until fall. I've been devoting a lot of time to BoA and work. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

quote:Pretty soon, PS3 is just gonna be considered a different OS (if it isn't considered one already, that is). Regarding the topic: apparently some people don't understand the idea of shareware. I think it's very unlikely JV will port any of his games to any other kind of console, for aforementioned reasons, and then some. Remember that to please many people these days, a game has to have graphics superior to those of any Spiderweb game. Furthermore, what's the point of him porting to another system? The games already run on both Mac and Windows, and who doesn't have one or the other? It'd be cheaper for people to just get them for their own computer OS.

It's so much healthier to come to terms with the possibilities of reality and come up with a more pessimistic mantra. How about, "Today would be a good day to die." That way, if it happens, you're not as disappointed. :P -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

I may be in and out. I work this Saturday evening (wouldn't it figure… I hate closing on Saturdays). So let's see… 7:00 PM EST would be 4:00 PM for me, I think. I ought to be able to make it in for a while. Provided there are no undesired complications from my end, of course. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

quote:Or when someone asks me, "What's up?", and I always reply, "The ceiling." My brother once told me what a jerk I was for doing that. I told him I was being my ordinary, sarcastic self, and he should lighten up. Though if I asked someone how they were doing and they gave me a sum-up of all the crap in their life, I'd be a bit taken aback. If you start doing that sort of thing to complete strangers, it just creates an awkward feeling. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

quote:Me too, but that's part of customer service. I think saying "good morning" is a wish to someone else, rather than a statement that it is, in fact, a good morning. Either way, it's kind of lost its original meaning, and is now a generic greeting, kind of like "How ya doin?" When someone you don't know says that, they usually don't really care. They're just expressing courtesy. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

A sad day for all RPGamers, to be sure. And most of them have probably never heard of him. (Ahem… WoW :rolleyes: ) Though I can assure you, paper RPGs aren't likely to die because of this.

Oh, sure. I'm not currently enrolled in school, and work's not being too busy.

Truly, getting shafted so often in college really puts high school into a different light. That is, it's easy, yet every high schooler still complains. That's not an attack at anyone, by the way. I did it too. And in middle school. And elementary. So… complaining is a coping mechanism? -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.
