So there’s a virus going around DA right now. It some how posts a message using your account to a spam site on your friends list. If anyone clicks it it does the same thing to them. Boo…  My big question is, who makes these viruses? Who sits around and decides they want to screw with anyone and everyone with a computer? Who? I just don’t get it. These people suck and need to find something better to do with their time.
Now excuse me while I do a virus scan on my computer right now.
In a previous entry I talked about what would I do if my kids found my dirty art in house. I said that won’t happen (I hope) and others mentioned the internet. It was mentioned that my kids would notice my art style and put 2 and 2 together and BAM-O! All secrets would be reviled. Well, not true, this is the style I paint in for work.
If you don’t know what a demake is it’s a remake of a game that is purposefully less then the original. The latest demake to hit the tubes is Guitar Hero for the NES called D-Pad Hero. It plays just like the original only you play with your NES game pad, or keyboard if you don’t have a hackjob NES pad for you PC… and you play on an emulator. Actually, this EXACT game play is found on SNK vs CAPCOM for the NEO GEO Pocket Color. You can play mini games to unlock moves and one of them is with Felicia doing this type of Dance Dance Revolution game only with a D pad. Anyhoo… D-Pad Hero comes with 6 chip tune songs, one of them being Sweet Child o Mine, which is totally a classic in what ever form it’s in.
Since I’m on the topic, I’ll point you in the direction of another demake that I love. GoldenEye from the Nintendo 64… on the GameBoy. Yeah! I love the original GameBoy. If I had a wish, it’d be to make a GameBoy game. So this is totally up my alley. I really recommend it to people as it’s a solid game and a good challenge. Only thing is it needs more levels.
So today was my first day back in studio. How did it go? I was brought up to speed on the projects and which ones I’ll be on. Seems as though I’m being pulled in two directs as they want me to be lead artist on a new title AND over see the art on a project that will be finishing soon.
Ahhh… it’s great to be needed.
Then I spend the WHOLE FREAK’N DAY installing programs on my PC. My old work station was wiped clean (no back up made ether… suck) and so I had to rebuild what programs I needed. Then I had to uninstall them because they weren’t working right… then install different versions… and so forth and so on. Pretty quickly in to it I remembered “oh yeah, I hate setting up computer programs”. What seems like it should be something simple ends up being a pain in the ass. Oh, in case you didn’t know, the new MSN Messenger is ass ugly and I hate it. I tried to install the previous version but noooooo. Big daddy Microsoft won’t let me use an older version. So if you have the previous version my advice it to keep it. Don’t upgrade because you can’t go back.
Ugh…
Oh well. Tomorrow, I’ll be really to go and I’ll actually be productive again. I hope.
Today is the first day of February. That means I have 8 more days until my birthday (Feb 9th). If you’ve been following along, I’d decided to make posts for a whole year, or at least for every day I could. 366 days (leap year) is my goal. Why? Well, it’s hard to fully explain but this past year I’ve been afraid to die. When I was about 6 I couldn’t see myself living past the age of 31. Most likely it was due to my young age, but as I got closer to 31 I started to get scared. See, I’m very much afraid to die anyway so this whole deal really put me on edge. But here I am, 8 days away from reaching my a post a day goal and I’m still here.
Yay!
I hope it’s been a pretty good ride. I’m sure you’ve learned more then a little about me over this past year. Maybe I’ll do a question and answer/trivia contest at the end of all this. What would I do as a prize though…
