Back in college again :) I started my C++ coding class, as well as some other computer classes. I might have some questions here and there, and I know some of you do some coding, so if and when I need help I would appreciate it :) :)

As far as my new map/models go, Im working on them, but I dont have as much time anymore so Im sad facing it up :(

Now for some random gripes I have with games Ive played this summer:

Chrome hounds:

SP sucks
Online you have to wait through multiple "connecting with Chromehounds server" messages every time the menu screen changes!
Average wait time to get into a game is 5 minutes because everyone is an asshole in the briefing room!

Random link for me to use later: (not for viewing)

Another new avatar.

I'm pretty happy with the result. :cyclops:

My first journal entry! I have been here awhile but never got into writing in my journal.

Right now I am deciding one what mod to map my next map on. I just finished my Half-Life 2 Deathmatch map and am trying to get it on a server. You can check it out here is you want.

The one thing I am considering on my new map is not to make it clich? and overused. Like making a city map in HL2. I always try to make my maps unique.

www.gamingparents.org/index.php is now officially undergoing beta testing.

It's an important milestone. I've been working tirelessly at it for the past week.

First day back, in sixth form (NO UNIFORM WOO! :biggrin: :biggrin: ). And the place has changed big style.

All the lower school are now forced to wear Blazers and Ties, so when I went to the bus stop i beleived i had stumbled on a Mafia meeting (it was 8 in the morning, the time my functions are most limited).

Similarly when we were getting off the bus, some year 10 said "hurry the f**k up!" to me. So I turned around to correct the dissillusioned child when i was shocked due to her height. The conversation went like this:

"There is no need for that sort of --- jesus christ you're small :o"

My Ecomonmics class rocks with a grand total of 4 people.

The southern fence now comes complete with barbed wire. A sign saying "Work Shall Set You Free" is expected any day now...

More tales and novel-ette's about the mass insanity of my school coming soon...........

LAPTOP!... in about 4 or 5 weeks... still saving up money and getting equipment. I got something that will help with data transferring from my old comp to my new one. If it works, i don't lose a thing! So all my stuff is safe.

Back to college this thursday. I only have 2 days a week for classes. 15 credits (Average is 12), 5 classes. They start at 9 in the morning, and end around 10 at night. Sounds rough, but its only tues and thurs. I figure 3 days for study and work, 2 for play :) (mappin, modelin, etc) Im going to need to get some loans my 3rd year. My scolarship money covered the 1st 2 years along with other grants, but soon Im going to need some loans. Feel free to mail me money if you want :)

As far as mapping goes, Im working on my HL2-SP map. Im really working hard to make this a unique experience thats fun, and feels different from Hl2. You can take a look at its progress here:

http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?pgt=1&action=viewthread&id=12126&pg=1

Im been working on and off on my man model. Im mainly focused on my models for my map now, and materials.

Unfortunately the work will slow down when I start college again, but thats ok.

Time to get crackin on my mappin work!
