Here's a question...
What two games would you put together to make an overall better game. So you'd be taking elements from one game and merging them with elements of another.
I was talking about this to my brother today. We agreed that a merger of Saint's Row 2 and GTA IV would be great. Take the fun and activities (soo many activities) of Saint's Row 2 and the realistic physics of GTA IV (Keep the Saint's Row driving control please) and in my mind, you'd have an amazing sandbox game! If you look deeper I'm sure there are holes, but just have fun with it.
(hah)
Go!

The Future...
5 min read
What do I have planned for my future? It doesn't really matter, considering things barely ever go as planned, however I shall share with you my predictions...
1. Work after Uni (after Tafe). The reason I'm doing this course is, obviously, so I can get a job in this specific area. The course that I'm doing now in Tafe seems as though it will definitely prepare me for a whole range of different jobs that have something to do with multimedia. This term, we're doing digital imaging (Flash and Photoshop), digital audio and digital video (Premier, Final Cut). These subjects alone are giving me a great understanding of said programs, however next term I am to learn things such as 3D animation (Autodesk), which I really do want to learn so that I may have the opportunity to get into character animation, as well as all the other available options. I just hope that whatever I am best at, I receive a job doing.
Also, while a stupid question, it did feel good when my Photoshop teacher asked me if I did this for a living.
2. Make money working and support myself. This stage pretty much speaks for itself. Nobody wants to be a bum.
3. Travel. My hopes are that I may be able to travel with my friends. These hopes are probably misplaced, however, as I'm noticing now a sudden decline in social interaction with all of my best friends. Sure, we have Msn Messenger, but that doesn't really cut it. On the third of March, most of them started University at Griffith. This just means less and less interaction between us all. We say things like "it'll be right, mate", however It's hard to believe. Regardless, I would appreciate travelling with my high-school friends and just doing crazy shit in other countries. I don't think I could have any better friends than my high-school friends. Definitely not the tafe kids... those guys are strange. Today, this guy in my class called me a wanker because I thought he was talking to me when he was pointing at MY computer and telling somebody else what to do. Naturally, I thought he was telling me what to do, so I said "No shit". Generally, this would provoke an angry response, but not from a guy that I was quoting Tourettes Guy and laughing my arse off with the previous lesson... what the fuck?
Anyway... yeah, travel. Start making money fellas, I want to go to Cyprus and hide from my extended family. It'll be FUN!
4. Return, settle down. At this point, I'm hoping I'll have some sort of girlfriend that I love enough to propose to, then I want to have at least two children! Bonny and Mungo! Okay, maybe not Bonny and Mungo. At this point, I'd also prefer to still be working somewhere, obviously. I also want to be the best father I can be, because I've seen how kids can turn out... and it hurts to watch. Recently I went out with a few friends, and there was a drunk man at the Ashmore pit-stop there, with his daughter. At first, he yelled out to us "YOU GUYS GOT A LIGHT!". Obvious response was 'no'. Later on while I was eating my Chicken Kebab with extra chilly sauce, he kept yelling at us to look at a woman in the Chicken and Chips place we were eating near, saying things like "CHECK OUT THAT POSE! *snicker/wheeze*" and "I'm SO GLAD I'm not GAY! *points to his daughter* YOU'RE PROOF! YOU'RE PROOF I'M NOT GAY!". All the while, we're all just thinking... Christ, poor kid. Seeing that, you just know that girl is going to turn into a horrible person, and that shits me. I'm so lucky to have decent parents, and that's what I want to be to my eventual children.
5. Dunno.
So that's my first plan. I am also prepared for things to just 'not' go that way. The whole 'travel' step is a bit iffy, however that's just my attempt and bringing fun into my life before it's ruled by a woman. Here's my second plan:
1. Win the lottery.
2. Build a house and party every weekend.
3. Play games and have the highest gamerscore ever!!
I'm also prepared for my second plan not to work accordingly either.
Well, there you have it. I've managed to put the post-worthy events of the last week in with my plans for the future, creating one mega-journal of awesomeness. Sorry if this post is difficult to read through, I haven't proof-read it or anything, so for all I know it's probably just a long string of text. To all who read this, I hope your futures turn out to be exactly how you planned, if not... better. Keep up the good work.

Managing Anger...
3 min read
anger, I thought I'd post a journal.
Since Tafe began, it seems that the only chance I have to see my friends is on weekends... and when I say 'see my friends' I don't mean go see one person and play a few games', I mean go out and have some sort of a gathering with as many friends as I possibly can. When that kind of thing doesn't happen, I guess I'd be okay with it... but when that kind of thing does happen, and I have an inability to join... that's what frustrates me. And when that inability is due to the most stupid of misunderstandings, that's what makes me want to smash my head through my desk in the hopes that I may bring myself pain due to stupidity, and that I may break something.
All this week I've been pestered by my mother to get a job. I figure if I do get a job, I'm going to have to pay her for living here... so that'd be the reason she wants me to get a job. So I write a resume, and it's half a page. What can I do with half a page worth of a resume? Who's that going to impress? And getting a job will mean even less time with my friends, and the less time I can muster with friends, the more paranoid I become. I've also been banned from games on all weekdays (at the age of eighteen... totally lame), so weekends, which is also the only time I can spend with friends, is the only time I can game...
So I have to get a job that will probably take up Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, I have Tafe on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I can only play games on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and I can only socialise on those very same days. So that leaves Sunday for me to do nothing at all, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are also taken up, so the only time I'll be able to play games and/or see friends is Friday nights, in the case that I wouldn't be working, and Saturdays. I'm feeling like life can just go suck my dick right now, because it's a bitch that needs to be dealt with.
Rant = over.
At least I still have you guys, eh?
