Theme Update

I decided to redesign this blog, and I have to say I think it looks quite a bit better. The old look was rather ugly, I'll admit. Lately I've been helping my brother in doing some web design for community service, and I've been using css a lot recently. This blog was a perfect chance to test my skills.

Please, let me know your opinions on the new theme, and whether you have any problems or suggestions. Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to read my ramblings!

Today

Today I started production on a new game I've had planned for a long time. It's looking pretty good.

I also picked up three new SNES games yesterday, for a pretty good price.
Shadow Run, which is interesting so far, although the controls are far from perfect.
Super Mario RPG Legend of the 7 Stars, which also looks good so far, although my SNES decided to mess up after I hadn't saved for a while.
Also, Super Metroid. I haven't played it before, but I've heard great things about it. So far it's been great.

Even though I have a Wii and all of that virtual console stuff, I still like playing games on my old SNES. It kind of feels like cheating on the Wii, and a lot of the time it's more expensive.

Yay

My game, Agent won second place in the GameCOG competition, which was pretty much what I had expected. I've found that working with a deadline is actually very helpful.

New Game

Finals

Well, I've just finished up with my final exams. They were pretty easy. I was only really worried about my finals for Spanish and Math. Luckily they both went well. While I got a B on the Spanish one, I still have an A for a final grade, and though I haven't gotten a score for it yet, the Math final was pretty easy. I figured out I only needed to get 28/50 questions correct to get an A. It was also multiple choice, so I could figure out quite a few of the problems just by looking at the question and the answers.

In other news, lately I've become obsessed with the Metal Gear Solid games. I first got interested when I played MGS4 at a friend's house, and now I've played through most of the series. The story is great, even though it is rather convoluted, and rather hard to follow at first. I'm certainly looking forward to the new metal gear solid games announced at E3, Rising and Peace Walker (even though I don't have a PSP).
