Good To Kinda Be Back, Sorta.

As I stream back into reality, I believe I have a few updates.
My Conscious List Mark IV
1. Unfortunately, I decided to leave my development team Modern Day Industries. I was behind school, co curricular activities, it seemed the best decision was to choose another path. They were cool guys, gotta say.
2. I haven't really done anything in Torque lately, but more Modding/Level creation of mostly Valve games. And a little bit of playing Mirror's Edge. Ok, a lot. Whats that? You want pictures? You want me to stop typing in second person? Well, fine.
Behold, a few days work!
Feast your eyes, I'm nowhere near done. But yes, I've been doing work with Source, Hammer Editor, Unreal, all the goodies.
"He speaks of other game engines!" "Burn him at the stake!"
3. I beat Mirror's Edge. Just putting that out there.
4. I'm actually on track to getting my Mac Mini, which will get me onto iPhone development, and other things Torquewise. I just made a new word.
Be right back, bathroom break.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, I haven't checked in for a while, don't know why. I have a nice little "Job" that may just get me my Mac, which would be nice. So, i guess I'm just popping in.
Eh, storms coming. Better leave off here.

About the author
Taught myself Torque when I was eleven, eventually moved my way to modding on the Source Engine. No hard feelings.

Quote:What's Left For Dead 2?It's simply a game where you go around and shoot zombies. You and four trusty survivors work together to fight zombes from an infection outbreak, attempting using guns, melée weapons, and chainsaws.
Made by Valve. Check it out!

Actually, if you want add me on steam, I'm manslayer101. When I get L4D2 I might wanna check out your level (or campaign), although it is in alpha at the moment or so it seems. Good luck with your stuff, and sorry that you had to leave your team. If you ever wanna join a new one we would take on another guy in the future (I say that without knowing your coding/scripting/modelling/level experience, but meh) ;)
Anyway I hope you well, and it's about 2:30 in the morning, so I'll stop there.
Good luck ;)
@non-L4D players: You guys really should check out some valve games ;) that is, if you are into fps games. Half life, portal, and l4d are completely worth the purchases, and at Christmas time Valve always has huge sales on games (normally 25%-75% off). If you don't have it you should get it: steampowered.com (there's more than just valve games, it has grown into a contender for store bought games and Direct2Drive, Steam and D2D are the 2 biggest download services)

Nothing wrong with some good ol' modding Matt. I played around with the scripts of the pump shotgun in L4D1 for a double barrel effect. :P So you're Ellis...hmm, didn't figure you'd be very redneck ;)Actually, if you want add me on steam, I'm manslayer101.
