Imagining My Game

So I transferred my game idea from thought to print today and to be completely honest with you...I like it! it sounds like it will turn out to be a pretty cool side scroller, the only problem now is being able to take all of those ideas and actually having them function the way I want them to within my complete game, that is going to be a challenge. I have confidence in being able to complete the game it is just a scary thought thinking how much is actually going to have to go into it to make it function and play to the point where someone will actually want to pick it up and play. Oh well, day by day I guess.

Favorite Game of All Time

It is extremely difficult to imagine my favorite game, because there are so many that I've loved to play for so many years. Any game in the Madden franchise is up there at the top, but I don't know about favorite of all time. All time is going to have to go to Halo 2; I can remember missing an entire day of class, on multiple occasions, because my buddies and I were playing Halo 2 on Xbox live in the dorm room when I went to Indiana University. It never got old. The game itself was amazing at that time and the experience of playing with 8-16 of your buddies at the same time, and all the trash that we talked, was priceless. I only have a few buddies that I still play with from time to time. Your Halo buddies change, but the trash talk stays the same. I play Halo 3 now and am looking forward to ODST, but Halo 2 definitely has a special place in my heart.

For the past week or so we have been creating a flash minigame. It was kinda scary at first, mostly because I showed up late the day we started and thought I was going to be left behind. Not to mention, the coding looked overwhelming; but once you get in a rythym and start putting in pieces of code to do certain things, you start to get the hang of it pretty quick. Plus, when it is all finished, in a manor of speaking, it is cool to look at the little game; Knowing where it started, and be able to say, "I made that," no matter how simple it looks, cause you know a lot went into making it all work. Of all my classes, Intro to Gaming is one that I look forward to coming to, you learn something interesting everytime.
