That time already?

Thought it hadent been long since my last update, how wrong i was!
Things have been slowly plodding along, the odd bit of work, loads of research and some rugby training.
I guess the only remotly unsual thing ive done was film the movements for motion capture today, but that in itself was a bit embarresing to say the least; spiderman moves are not the coolest thing to do in public i tell you.

Sore...

Just came home to a room full of post-it notes, i could have sworn i locked the door....
Anywho, now that i have removed a trees worth of paper from my walls, i can tell you the events that made this glorious weekend!
i had a rugby match saturday, which we lost 24-5 (i think), where i played scrum half, and was woefully underprepared. Had a mixed game, a few mistakes, and one rather neat little run.
All in all it was fun, and i am now left with the morning-after ache that i havent felt in 3 years.
I then had to rush to birmingham for a 25th wedding anniversary (again, i locked that door, im sure of it!) which was fun, who can turn down free food and alcohol!
A long sleep and trainride later, and here i am, wondering what surprises await me in this room

Revenge will be sweeeeeet

Once more with feeling!

I have never had so many illnesses in such a short space of time, its rather annoying
Just a short update today, need to go back to sleep.
I have been trundling on with work, finally nailing my level design as well as getting the hang of modelling. I have to make a fool of myself in motion capture tomorrow, which should be a laugh

For everyone else

The weekend...

...was rather awesome.
I went to Malvern, for no particular reason, and who did i meet but Jason, Izzy and Fender! T'was madness i tells you! Much merriment was had, and i shall dictate it to you in list form!
We went to and were promptly kicked out of 2 pubs (not my fault of course)
We went back to izzys house, where i slept for days
Much coffee was drank
We watched Tropic Thunder (a film) and laughed as some old people left the cinema disgusted
Watched family guy
Laughed at J
All in all, a spectacular weekend, pity i have to get back to work (YES, i have work!)

That time already?

before you know it, its been a week since you last documented you life for the whole computer loving world to see!
Not much to say really, things have been plodding along as usual, I play games, i make them, i play more games, i play rugby, i play more games, i get told to play games by lecturers, and i play them.
Its a vicous cycle

Running out of snappy titles...

An update, on this blog! Well i never!
Its currently 1.14 in the morning and i am not tired in the slightest, with a lecture in 7 and a bit hours, lovely.
On the rugby side of things, the 1st team lost their first match due to an absolutely shocking referee and it being the first match of a higher league. I have my first match on saturday, starting as full back due to the many injuries that were sustained on wednesday (fractured kneecap, torn hamstring and massive gash on someones hand to name a few)
I have also become a concept artist for a mod (thats a game 'mod'ification to those who dont know) tha the university is helping running, more on that when we get started.
Heh, after typing this im tired, sorted!

Viewer discresion is advised....

I havent updated in a while, silly me!
Crazy things have happened whilst i have been neglecting this blog, and i apologise to my one reader for my lack of updates (sorry 'cybergrn')
erm, work has been wicked, editing halflife 2 (like you know what that is... wikipedia it!). using 3dsmax (again, wikipedia is your friend) dressing up in a motion capture suit and pretending to be spiderman, 'cus im an actor now!
On the social side of things, i am slowly intergrating into the rugby team, which has had a bit of an upset recently, involving last rugby social (which i missed due to a severe illness which could have been lethal if it werent for my superior immune system), some naked freshers and a formal complaint to the police.
i may jest abt this stuff, but the club is in danger of being closed, so lets all (come on grandma) hope that its stays alive...

Heh, you may want to skip this bit if you think that im an innocent young lad with no concept of girlfriends

Also socially based is the distinct lack of any girls in stafford. Seriously, theres a 14:1 ratio of guys to girls here. couple in the fact that 1/8 will be gay (cheers ali for that statistic) and that abt half have boyfriend already, it looks like its gonna be a loveless three years
O joy
Theres two gay guys on my floor, may have to make it three :P
Joking, i think
