What To Do?

Well, again I fail at keeping regularly updated. I guess I have just been distracted as always. But I have to say, it is quite nice to be able to get my thoughts out in one place every now and again. I think it helps keep me sane(ish).

Since my last post I have been fairly busy. I have been applying to jobs (a somewhat daunting task). The strange thing is, every time I send out a copy of my resume I realize something else that can be fixed on it or something I need to do to improve it. I suppose it it probably like that with everyone straight out of college but it is such a strange feeling to be "finished with school" and have so much to do.

So on that note, to improve my portfolio/resume I am currently working on a level design. I haven't decided what engine to use. I'd like to learn Source a bit more so that will probably be the one I use, though using Unreal isn't out of the question. I am also kicking around designs for a card game. Even though I have no idea how to even try to publish one it is something I want to try. Lastly, I have been trying to jot down ideas for rapid design games (and failing because unfortunately it is a little lower on my totem pole of things to do).

Besides all of that I have also been working for fun on a number of things. A Pathfinder campaign using Obsidian Portal, an incredibly easy tool. Improving my writing through various RP forums, RP gaming, and personal writing. Keeping a dream journal. Amature photography with my new camera (a nikon d60). Amoung other random things (reading Campbell mostly).

So I have a lot on my plate, I am having a bit of trouble prioritizing but only because all of it is so interesting. I need to create deadlines for myself...

Anywho, I am off to to help my father ventilate our roof. Thanks for reading.

Graduation Work

Okay, so I realize that I have not written a post in a long... long time. This is primarily because I have been preparing to graduate. I have been getting my projects in line for my portfolio, I have been working on my resume, and I have been searching for jobs online, all while trying to figure out the best place to live for the time being.

Anyway, this is going to be a short post but it is mostly to remind myself to write here consistently for once and to post up a link to my portfolio for those that are interested in looking. Check it out!

Thanks for following me if you do, Wish me the best of luck in the future and soon I will be writing like closing thoughts on my graduation, my senior projects, my experience at Champlain, and all kinds of good stuff. Maybe even a video game critique or two if I am feeling up to it.
