I know I said in my last Journal post that I would try to come onto TWHL more, but due to a few things I found I simply didn't have time. My schedule for the next few months has cleared up though, so I think I may have time to rejoin the community.
I started mapping in the last few days, I was shocked at how much of it I had forgotten. Not necessarily techniques, but things like entity names and setups, texturing, stuff like that. I mapped a room yesterday, tried to add some atmosphere. It was a dismal efort.

There were a few things going on in the past few months that were more important than going onto TWHL. Definitely the biggest one of these was to do with my girlfriend, Aibhin. Due to a broken condom, and emergency contraception being unavailable, she became pregnant a while ago. I was scared about the whole thing at first, as being 18 and not having a job, I felt that we wouldn't be able to care for the baby properly. Even though it was the result of an accident, we still wanted it. Aibhin did especially, due to problems with her ovaries she's almost infertile, and she will likely not be able to conceive at all in a few years.
Therefore it was rather depressing when she miscarried in the beginning of April. She was approaching the fifth month of pregnancy, so it was a shock.

Anyway, all of that is over, and for the next few months I don't really have any responsbility, so I should hope to start mapping again.

This is going to be fucked up, but honestly: You really dodged a bullet.

I definitely understand what you mean Luke. I would have had to drop out of college, and I don't have enough experience to get a proper job.

@Jeff +Huntey: Thanks.

With all the modern technology we have, we still can't prevent miscarriages. Thats pretty fucking gay. The world needs more Gamers.
