Shutup and Program!

So.... I've been busy lately..... busier than usual. And, some very interesting things happened since my last blog post. So I'm going to try to layout a time line for you guys.

December 25th 2008 WoA Team released an alpha version of Wings of Apocalypse for download at www.wingsofapocalypse.com .


December 31st 2008 I finished editing and uploaded a video for the www.anijunkie.com 08 Talent Contest and boy is it getting good reviews! Heres the entry! :



January 16th 2009 I got into a terrible car accident. I was hit in the back by someone going almost 50mph, knocked into a concrete median causing me to get hit by another car. I had to stay in the hospital over night..... that sucked!!

January 23rd 2009 I decided to start another game project using XNA instead of OpenGL (which is what Wings of Apocalypse used). By the way... XNA is ridiculously easy to work with. Almost everything that I had to write from scratch for Wings of Apocalypse is already done for me in XNA! Anyway, once I start making some progress with this new game I'll probably make a blog for it... stay tuned!

And for the future:

On January 31st 2009 I'll be playing the drums along with my buddy Tony ( guitarist) for a play called "Road to Redemption" at the Chrysler building in Norfolk Virginia!

So yes! I have been very busy and things are only going to get worse because this is my last semester in college... SO MUCH STUFF TO DO!!!!..... o well, I'll manage.
