Hi everyone, Skals / Albert here.
A few months ago I made a post about me being in my final year of Uni and apologizing for not having spare time to go on TWHL and such.
Well recently I finished my Uni course - Games Design BSc Honours degree, and I got a first in it, yay! - that's like an A basically. So now I'm a graduate
Also I've managed to land a job at TTGames - http://www.ttgames.com/
and I've worked here for almost a month now.
They only make LEGO games atm as they're owned by Warner Brothers, but everyone here is great and I really like the environment I'm working in.
I'm only doing a QA testing job, I test the games, look for bugs etc. so it's not the most amazing job, but I get to work hand-in-hand with all the developers, and it's a stepping stone for something bigger so I love it.
With work and all I still don't have much free time, but I wanted to pop in and thank you guys for putting up with me for the last 6 or so years,
because you guys at TWHL made me passionate about designing games and helped me improve loads and get to this point. Thank you all

If you were not constrained by the limitations of work, money, compulsory education, etc., and were basically free to do anything you wanted for the rest of your life...
How would you like to spend your life?

My WV Jetta never ceases to amaze me. I recently moved apartments, and my Jetta was the workhorse when my Dad's truck was filled with the furniture.
Trunk Space is incredible:
Cabin Space is great too:
This is all the stuff I fit into my car IN ONE TRIP (Minus the golf clubs)
5 Guitars, 1 Bass Guitar, 2 Guitar Amps, Assorted guitar peripherals, clothes, office supplies, ironing board, misc kitchen supplies...

Here y'all are. Educational, informative and entertaining. Kinda depressing, too.

Looks like America finally got their marriage equality going! Respect where respect is due.
Just you wait though, another 100 years and Australia might catch up!

Yesterday I was in Belfast for what is currently the only concert I've been to. I went to see The Who for their Hits 50! tour. It was really good, especially since we had some fairly good seats for it.
I was with my dad, because next week he'll be moving to Australia for at least a year, although quite possibly longer, so it might be the last time I see him for a while. Since I'd never been to a concert before I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I quite liked it. If I had to describe it in one word though that would be 'loud'.
Belfast itself was also pretty interesting. It's the first time I've been to Northern Ireland, and it's odd. The landscape and the people are obviously Irish, but it's weird because how English the architecture and infrastructure seem. As well as that, you can really see how much of a divide there is between the Protestants/Unionists and the Republicans/Catholics. I don't think I've seen so many Irish Tricolours or Union Jacks in my life. I'll have to upload some photos of it when I get home.

I've done paint before and every time I do it, I get a little better and learn some more tricks. But for $200, I think it looks great.

Missed it.
Ah well, was on holiday. Here's to being here for over 10 years. Long live TWHL.
So who else got this today?
I'm going to wait until it's well studied to decide if it's worth my while.
