And we haven't even started yet. Just thought I'd go ahead and get that out of the way. I'm looking forward to the 64D community game. It'll be interesting to see how well the community can work together and pull off something awesome.

So school's out. Summer's begun. And I've been bored out of my mind. Been playing my guitar a bit. It keeps me sane. Also started playing Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts yesterday. So far I like the game, and am waiting till' I can build aerial vehicles :D

In other news, I turn 17 in 4 days. I find it funny how the excitement and joy of a birthday seems to wear off once you hit 14. It's then replaced by things like "15 means I can start driving. 16 means I can drive on my own."

Then you have 17. What's so great about 17? Absolutely nothing. 17 is just there to fill the gap between 16 and 18. After 18 the only milestone left is 21 at which I can legally drink. However, 17 does provide me with a new guitar and possibly some new pedals and whatnot, so it's not COMPLETELY useless.

I went to my cousin's graduation yesterday. It was pretty cool. Not too awfully long so you didn't lose interest in the fact that it's a pretty big deal. My mom and aunt couldn't stop crying. That provided me with some entertainment :p

Enough with this life stuff though. Recently I've been reading some tutorials on pixel art. Mostly just on some of the more technical stuff and things I'd never think of while just trying to pixel on my own. The reason behind it is my current idea for a game (the way I see it in my head) is gonna require some better graphics than I've put out in the past. Not only that, I'm gonna need to spend some time with my old nemesis….animation. The style I'd like to go for is a bit larger than your typical 32x32 graphics. I'm going for something more like 64x128. It offers more detail and the monstrous advantage of me being able to hand draw my images and just pixel over them. Expect to see some pixels in my future blogs :D

Well that's about all I got. Get on IRC, mmkay?

tl;dr:

1. 64D community game is epic win.

2. GMCG is epic fail.

3. Nuts & Bolts is a pretty fun game.

4. Birthday's are kinda pointless now.

5. Graduations can be kinda cool.

6. I'MA BE A PIXEL ARTIST WHEN I GROW UP!!!
