I actually have not listened to the Linkin Park song of the same name, to be honest, even though, rather embarrassingly, I must admit, I do happen to have a few of their offerings in my foobar playlist.
No, this post is literally about what I’ve been working my ass off on for the past few weeks in Digipen.
I’m alive.
How odd, perhaps, that I choose to say that for an opening line. Perhaps it’s due to my parents’ constant worries and teeth-grinding about my inability to survive outside of a protected bubble, or maybe it’s their belief that my time spent here is a waste of their money and effort.
Or could it be because I am slowly crumbling under the mountain upon my chest that comprises my assignments?
It’s pretty nice. Though it means I have to update my front page soon to reflect my new change of address.
I’ve pretty much settled in about as well as I possibly can, with Comcast (fuck them, by the way. Seriously, which ISP even still practices bandwidth limits on all their subscription plans?) providing me with the means to type this current post, and my mom/dad bumbling around at every step of the way.
Well, it’s time.
This Friday, the 13th (yes I know), I’ll be heading to Redmond, WA, to begin preparations for studying at DigiPen.
There’s not really much else to say, other than thank fucking god I managed to get everything packed and ready to go. Now I just have to worry about finishing my summer assignment before school starts.
It’s not a name that conjures up images of fun, laughter or days upon days of staring at 2 computer monitors, sometimes covered with pages of text, sometimes lists of sprites and even artwork. It’s not a name that seems capable of evoking an entire spectrum of emotions, ranging from elation, to amusement and inevitably, frustration. It sounds, well insipid, almost as if it was conceived as an afterthought, without having any real meaning or depth.
It’s also where I’ve been working (well, interning) at, as a junior artist/programmer for the past 7(8?) months. And today was my last day at what has possibly been the best work environment I’ve ever encountered in my life.
To start off what feels, strangely, nothing at all like a new life.
It’s been more than half a year since I last worried about tanks and treads, and as one might expect, there are quite a few updates that have transpired since I last bothered to update this section of the Internet. For starters, the theme has changed.
