Very Happy great. Tell her I got 56 on CCC. Which is actually better then last year's since its Senior Wink

I mentioned Martin cuz recentry he invited me to join development team of MMORPG in OpenGL. I'll be doing serverside programming and probably a bunch of 3D modeling. Although we do have someone else with experience.

ah well what I'm doing is it's an MMORPG/Action basically do you remember Black and White? With the whole signature system? I'm essentially incorporating the mouse signature system into attacks so it doesn't seem repetitive. But we just started it recently, all we have is a graphics engine and now are setting up the classes and the GUI. (Setting up a GUI on a Half-Life mod is much easier than from scratch Confused ) We're working more on the programming aspect so models and textures will probably be taken from public sources for the time being. I'm still learning 3DSMax so hopefully after the break I can make some models.

The good part of moving from SWAT to compsci.ca is that its now Computer Science... So I might share some of my 3DSMAX experience as well Wink

3DSMAX and Photoshop would definitely be cool (I'm limited in both but I'm working on it)

I still think the coolest thing about photoshop is the lens flare filter Wink

nice use of the fire filter! I just have a punch of random pictures of Joe Lieberman's head on fire Wink

(For those of you who know little about U.S. politics, Joe Lieberman is a U.S. senator who is pushing for censorship in games and music in order to "protect the children"... I sent him a copy of Postal Laughing)

(For those of you who know little about games, Postal is a game where you go "postal" and kill innocent people (women, children, long wait lines,traffic, pretty much anything that would normally annoy you on a given day), actually a lot of fun, there is a sequel being released shortly.)

I believe games avoid actual violence rather than insite them, it's a vent, a vice, so that one can remain calm etc.

same here, and as far as i know all the studeys done on vailonte video game have fownd that on avage peloep that play them more are no more vilonte then poleop that play them less. also as for video games efecting your school wrok they fownd that there is litte efect on most poleop's gardes and acualy they fowned there was a slight increas in avage grade for poleop that play video then that don't Wink .

alougth i will admint that there are some poleop that get adctiited to them and go nuts, but for the avage persion this dose not hapen.

if you where whoding i heard that stuff about the studeys on a deomenty that was on t.v. about video games and if they where bad.

naturally people think bad of videogames because they dont understand them. Videogame industry is quite new.

And you never hear in news something like "tony was playing in videogames on weekend, but still managed to finish all his homework". All you hear are the bad things so people tend to develop biest opinions.

well of course, cuz no one wants to hear about u and your homework Laughing

A lot of the negative impact is because you see headlines like "Games are now training the military" however what you don't see is "Game Simulators are now training doctors"

It doesn't really effect me, everyone can have thier own stance on it, but when somone is an extermist and tries to censor it, that's when I get ticked off.

The large argument is "Video Games disensitise our youth" hm... ok valid argument but then again, pretty much ALL media disensitises. There is something people refuse to accept, violence is entertaining. It is the physical conflict of entities that brings out the best, that's the entire conflict behind wresting (well that and girls with big hooters Shocked ) and that has grown into almsot a billion dollar industry over the past 30 years. The video game industry is allready a billion dollar industry just over the past 10 years (I say 10 years because thats when video games mave the move the more violent games such as Doom, and Duke Nukem rather than the previously known arcade style games. This was the period of the most rapid growth in the industry)

This has gone longer than I intended to, so I'll end by saying. "I have the right to defend myself from evil pixels plotting global domination or making pixels of mass destruction! And if that means I have to fight pixels with pixels then so be it!"

I don't know about you, but I like violence in my video games, so long as it's not too realistic eg. I want games about crime in the 50's, not crime in the new millenium
