15MarUh Oh…

For those who didn’t know, I have been working on my University Final Year project since December 2006 for it’s hand-in on April 30th.. or so I thought… my friend called me yesterday (who thought the same) and said that he’d found a form online that said it’s hand-in date was 28th March 2007… over a month earlier and more importantly, less than 2 weeks away.

 My model is practically finished modelling wise, however it’s totally untextured and I haven’t even started my 10,000 word dissertation.. only 2 days ago I counted that rendering on 1 machine would take over 6 weeks at the settings I wanted to use too. To say I’m shitting kittens is an understatement. I am now using Total Textures and Evermotion Textures along with some I have made myself due to time constraints, I’m gutted. The end result is I am not getting the grade I wanted, nor is it going to be the quality of work I wanted… after Uni I will continue working on it though to build my portfolio, I’m hoping this is the project that will land me a decent job.

 As a result I have requested a suspension from OcUK so that there is no point browsing the forums I am also hoping my friend will take my Xbox360 and Toshiba 32WLT66 TV off me to minimize the distractions. As a result don’t be expecting many/any posts until the 28th March. Sorry :(

Love you all,
Karl.

10MarGhost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2!

I recently ordered this game from http://www.shopto.net in the hope I would recieve it on the Tuesday, much like people reported with Gears of War and Crackdown, unfortunately that wasn’t so… nor Wednesday or Thursday (which Gameplay have done for over 10 years). On Friday it was an attempted delivery, but I was in the shower getting ready for University… I was gutted.

Ghost Recon 2Yesterday night I made my way to Tesco not to be defeated and picked up 2 copies of the game, one for myself and one for Matthew who is currently skint.

I for one am REALLY looking forward to playing this game after lpaying Co-Operatively in Scenario mode with Matthew last night.. it was loads of fun! There are loads of multiplayer modes so this could be a game with lots of longevity, although reports are saying the single-player campaign is very short although very sweet. As I have always said, I would rather play a short game thats brilliant than a long game thats average. Hopefully over the next few days I will get to find out just what this is….
