So yesterday, I had the first day at work where I felt like I knew what I was doing, and that I was doing it well. I wasn't blagging it, and I wasn't doing my best to avoid doing any actual work. And what's more, it was a good feeling.

Which instantly led me to think "Dear Christ; I've turned into my Dad...". I mean, I'm enjoying work. I'm enjoying the feeling that I'm helping staff develop their careers (and, as this is me, I'm enjoying the sense of power; megalomaniacal habits die hard...). I don't even miss the fact that I haven't spent 80% of my working day on the net.

On the other hand, I still have the same sense of humour, the same wants and desires out of life, and the same contempt for people who view their work as their whole life.

Anyone else feel like they've reached a catalyst in their life recently?

This is the type of freeware game you'll be in competition with.

We'll have the new website up in a few months.

Hah! Don't trust the screenshots up there Pandemonium...that was for a quick 2D RPGmaker demo we gave up on because the program...well...it had problems with RUNNING lol. We're working on a full 3D game atm. Anyway, I think we're going a bit off topic here...

Nah, just interested. I suggest you'll have problems creating a full 3d game (regardles of the engine you're using) if you have problems with a 2d RPG maker title to be honest though.

As you say though, off topic.

Nope. It's a wonderfully designed and implemnted feeware game. I had more fun with playing through Cave Story than I am currently am with F.E.A.R.

[edit] Sry. End of thread hijack.

RPGMaker is useless for sharing files.

As I grow older, I seem to get lazier. Today, I have to do one piece of computing homework, three english essays, and half my media.

To quote the latin: "Bonedest Am I"

Appreciate the interest pandemonium...

Incidentally, creating the demo on RPGmaker wasn't a problem. It was the fact the executable didn't like running on the comps of people who didn't have the program! Silly thing...anyway, I need to stop going off topic so I'm not posting on the subject again!!!! LOL

Bonedest am I...I like that!

I find I work REALLY hard on something I enjoy, but some schoolwork it's just very difficult to knuckle down and do it.

Especially when the RS teacher isn't here, we're meant to plan our essay, and instead we find a computer room and post here.

SR, you ruined my school life!

When I left University I was worried about if I could do the regular 9-5 but I took to it straight away.
