Journal #4234

What's happening in Habboi's World? Not much.

I'm still at school with a few weeks left before the exams and then hopefully off to Uni to study Games Design at East London Docklands.

So at the moment I'm doing coursework still which is a little worrying since we were supposed to be finished about a month or two ago :S

So I'm just trying to finish that so I can have some time to revise.

I haven't mapped in quite a while. The last time I opened Hammer was to check Kasperg's free VMF pack which I might add is very nice. The train map should be finished. All it'd need is a scrolling skybox and a track with a city in the distance and voila.

I said I was getting a new PC well I should be getting a new Dell around summer or later once I have enough money. I already got ?1000 from my birthday so roughly half-way there. I was wondering but is it worth getting a physics card and would I really use Quad Core for anything? I mean I thought I could use it to map in Hammer, compile and then just maximise HL2 and test in seconds almost like the new editors that lets you preview your map in-editor.

I'd appreciate feedback on whether I should get a physics card and Quad Core.

As for my portfolio website I think I mentioned I was making a new one ages ago. The truth is I finished it a while ago to some extent and I bet some of you have seen it because I didn't exactly hide it. Anyway all I have to do to it is upload more media, add a open in new window box design for more info and fix some spelling mistakes.

Over Summer I'll be working on my game developing skills for the big day at Uni. So I'll be working on de_goffs and perhaps I'll work on my drawing, modelling and texturing skills. I'd love to make an SP mod for Source but my skills need fixing before I attempt that. Finishing one map is hard enough work as it is.

Also I'll be free a lot of the time then so I'll be getting a few games to play with friends. Left 4 Dead for instance and C&C3 etc.

Anyway thanks for reading.
