Theyll need the original passport and a photo and then im off to Scotland. I kind of cant wait. There was too long of a delay and im ready to start now and sitting around is making me very hyper. I will be moving to Dundee to work @ Realtime Worlds on their newest upcoming title: All Points Bulletin (APB). I cant wait. I know this game will be award winning.

I started to remember when i was working on Turning Point and we were having problems with objects with physics on elevators… they would freak out and do some random wackyness.. I started thinking if Valve had a work around for this.. So i grabbed an oxygen tank and took it with me to this elevator and had a team mate stand on the blood stain and dropped the oxygen tank on the bloodstain.. sure enough they teammate fell through the elevator and to his death.. I tested it again with another team mate to make sure it wasnt a fluke and he fell to his death as well lol…

 

(i usually try to carry an oxygen tank in the elevator incase some douche tries to block the doorway with a generator.)

It doesnt deserve the attention. Bring back the old Joost application, kthx.

Joost application = good

So, Turning points been released.. Legendarys on its way out the door and my current project.. A racing game. Been keeping myself busy. Maybe too busy as ive pretty much become golem with my precious (i.e. xbox with xbmc). I still havent met a girl out here who was interested in me AND wasnt psychotic. I dont know what to write really,  So this is the 3rd xbox 360 game ill work on. I need to build up that resume. I stillll want to go home. back to nyc… theres nothing quite like it… But my place is here.. for now.

Its all been short bursts while we grind away to RC1. Got more tattoos, Got an iPod Touch, Got Rockband, COD4.. Went back to Rhode Island for Thanksgiving, It was good and bad, i guess.. It was good to see everyone but that place is depressing overall.

Been going to Union Night. Met some people from THQ and some MoCap Studio. Planning to hit up RI again for christmas and NY for New Years. Nothing else really exciting that i can think of at the moment.

Oh.. On that note.. to all in NY/RI

Put your drinking shoes on, cause im planning on drinking from pitchers with silly straws.

Servers are already failing this early into the games life?? If it wins game of the year, then the votes are rigged. Bioshock is still better.
