The blog is dying...
Hey guys,
This semester things have gotten a litte crazy, I'm taking 5 classes and they are all in full swing plus there are a host of non-school related issues that are rolling through my head as we speak. With graduation on the horizon I've been thinking a lot about what I want to live for and where I want to be in the future. I'm sure most of you have already thought about that since you are all out in the 'real world'. Dan and I are taking "Inovative Game Design", a course designed to force us to think "outside the box" in terms of making a marketable video game. We came up with what we tentativly call Kung Fu Tomogatchi. It's a fight training simulation game which uses marionette physics so that you can create your own moves as opposed to using a set number of moves designed by the game creator (ie Soul Calibur II). Instead of being able to control the fighter directly you issue voice commands and the fighter decides whether to listen to you or not. We will be implementing some sort of learning algorithm which the fighter will use to determine what a "good strategy" is. But enough about broing technical stuff which i am sure most of you don't care about.
This semester looks like its going to be the most difficult i have ever faced, not in terms of how hard my classes are, but more how I am coming to terms with my life. I still have no idea what I am doing and I feel like it is something I may never know. One thing is clear to me though, what we had in Phouse last year was a very good thing. Maybe I'm being a little cheesy, but you guys are one of the best things that ever happened to me and to let something like that go feels like a huge waste. I hope to hear or see all of you soon. Until then, keep the Phouse spirit burning strong.

ps for those of you that don't have it I will be posting a link to the Phouse video I made soon.
pps In case you were wondering, yes I am drunk and not very coherent
ppps... I lost my cell phone, so if you really wan to talk to me call the phouse phone at 401-454-4887 (i am the only one that answers it...)
