Big, big, big, big problem.

To graduate from my high school, seniors need to complete a culminating exhibition on the topic of their choice. So, because I already know something about it, I took the easy way out and did multiplayer design for the Source engine.

Problem is, there's a ton of damn paperwork and I can't even start the project because I don't have a mentor. (Someone who basically checks off that my goals are good goals at the beginning and at the end checks off that I met them.) It's incredibly easy for them but I haven't managed to find a single person who can so this for me, it's maddening seeings how i only have barely over a month left to finish this project.

Do any of you know someone I could talk to? They have to be at least 21 and have something to do with game design. I'm knee-deep in crap right now, and I need all the help I can get.

So I was playing my favorite game Ragnarok Online the other day and I finally figured out how to stream a live feed of the game to a site where people could watch me and my guildies kill stuff and toss banter around in vent.

I got the idea because my guild leader does this and has a pretty popular stream.

So naturally I was excited when I figured out how to do myself. I called a few of my freinds who also played and go told them to favorite my stream because they knew I had wanted to set this up for a while. I also told my ventrilo buddies to do the same after.

This morning I open my gmail and I had seven alerts from the site and all of them were from my guild buddies, people I've never spoken to outside of ventrilo. None were from the five people I called, people I go to school with.

Are internet friends better than RL friends?
