Wait that was it?
I'm a professional UI designer / programmer working on an indie game in my free time. I also do a lot of 3D modeling.

I keep running into the same problem with in-engine cutscenes no matter what engine I use. Camera cuts are never a single frame. By default you can see 2 to 3 frames where objects rotate and pop in.

My first laptop was a Thinkpad A31. I've been using it a lot lately. But it has this new quirk where the bios won't post sometimes. Today I figured out the problem: The GPU has a cracked solder joint. When it's warm, it expands and suddenly works.
I have to WARM UP a PENTIUM 4 to get it to boot.

This is probably the weirdest thing I did this year. But who else can say they can shuffle a playlist on a Tascam DR-07?
Today is the perfect day to get obsessed with an old field recorder leading to you reverse engineering it's playlist format in an attempt to use it as an mp3 player.

At this point the games I look forward to get new releases so infrequently that I don't if I should be excited or worried. So I'll just say this: I'll play it. But I'm not getting hyped. See you in 2 years.
