Got the map editor up and running so the level guys can play for a little bit. Some of the other guys made a class inherited from the base class I made and it worked... which was really cool to see... Some engine tweaks to be made and support for more textures coming soon... And then hopefully I can start fleshing out some classes of my own.
One week left, too. The instructor gave us this huge project and all we have is a week and a few days (it took us a bit to get organized) but I think we'll pull off a workable simple game.

Dell has a promotion called the Dell Dellf giveaway. They're giving away a ton of stuff, but if you don't win, they give you a discount on their products.
One of the rarer discounts is a 25% off all Dell LCDs. Well, I got another one of these. I used the last one and another stacking coupon to get the 20" widescreen monitor for $550. Not bad since they retail at $799.
Anyway, I am willing to give this one to the Shack. The first one to send me a private message gets it, with the caveat that you either use it or give it back to the Shack. I can't hold you to it, so I'm just going to trust you.

Last night was my first REAL PvP experiance, other than a few Horde wandering in random contested areas. Zoink and I were trying to get to BFD, and we got jumped by a high lvl rogue and a couple lower mages that were about the same as us, We got the two lowers, and then got killed and corpse camped. Zoink left pissed. my heart was pounding like it was going to bust out my neck!
Some others came in the area, and pretty soon there was 10-15 Horde, some 2x my level and maybe 8 Alliance. We kept going back and forth trading kills and respawning, but mostly that rogue just kept stealth/sappping and none of us could really do anything about it. When it was all over I managed to res and hearth home. Over an hour wasted, and 20s later to repair my armor, I have nothing to show for it. No XP, no loot, nothing. What's the point of PvP again?

It is a lot of fun.
The level is simply built and has a good flow. However; the 'gimmick', the 'catch' of the DM is that everybody spawns in the samce place. And if more than one person spawns at the same time, they are stuck together forming a giant cluster of players. Players stuck in the cluster can shoot eachother to get free. There are 4 rocket launchers located at each side of the map. If someone gets a hold of the rocket launcher, they can launch one into this cluster and kill like 5 people at once, creating a fireworks display of bodies. It is very pleasing to do this.
Whether or not the creator inteded this 'bug' to occur, it is the heart of this map and makes it a shit load of fun to play. I highly reccomend finding a server and trying it out.
Oh and it's one of the few maps in the whole 50 that are actually lit properly and don't look like they were taken from an N64 game..

I first heard this song on a rollerblading video called VG4. It took me about 12 years to find out who sang it and finally procure the track itself. Highly recommended if you want a chill hip hop tune and some great lyrics.
Also, if you haven't heard it, grab Slick Rick - Davey Crockett and Black Sheep - Flava of the Month.

but the only thing I'm weary about is the Calculus. :| The other health program I was interested at Pepperdine only requires Statistics, so I could finish school sooner, but in essence I would not have tapped my potential :{ By going to USC I'd have to go to school a bit longer, considering I'd have to take a few more classes as prerequisites which are essentially the required courses at Pdine.
Someone map my future :}
