As Addictive as Vicodin...
Well, yeah first thing has gotta be that I've been watching House which has turned out to be much more awesome than I first thought. Getting quickly hooked on it actually. Same with the third season of Ghost Whisperer but I'll have to wait till I have any money to watch the rest... Which isn't looking too good at the moment, with the overdraft looming over me. Really need to pay it off soon.
Uni wise I'm pretty excited. We went for a talk on getting an integrated masters after our Ba Hons Animation degree. Well it's integrated so we apparently go straight on to it next year and come out with one degree and rather than pay 10,000 for a separate masters it costs the same as an extra year.. Wooo. Looks like we'll be learning a lot more next year too from our 3rd year "diet" as he called it. Just got to work on getting that first I want this year now. It starts with a hell of a lot of research on the Westernisation of the games design industry and the factors that went into it. It's pretty fun, I spent a good five hours in the library learning about the history of the games industry from stuff like Nintendo's globalisation and specifically how it affected the Final Fantasy franchise and looking through various books on economics (which were far too complicated and specific for me to undestand, think they were 2nd or 3rd year Economics texts). Well once I get through the two books I ended up getting out, my other blog, the one for my Fantasy, Fandom and Franchise module will be updated so follow if you want a somewhat simplified outlook on the games industry http://chrisw45.wordpress.com/ ).
Other than that lesson, I'm still looking for stuff to animate for my music video but I did model a CG Guitar the other day. It does need some extra detail and I need to learn how to texture it properly but so far I think it looks pretty good so far.
Oh well, I'm off for now. If you enjoy games and media then have a look at my other blog, and follow :) Night all.
