Ah; finally settled and bracing myself for another year, which is becoming significantly different from last.
The centre of this year is of course; university (oh and friends too)! I’m using a general 3D graphics program called “Lightwave” for two of my subjects; Imaging and Animation and Digital Painting, Lighting and Printing. My other two subjects are more theoretical; Media Cultures and Data Com. The latter is a simplified introduction to computer networking, which should be easy as I’ve completed the CISCO CCNA 1-4 courses. Study should be no trouble as my lecturers are outstanding.
I bought Final Fantasy 12 and have been playing it here and there. I love it, although it makes me want to get a new TV, I have to squint to read the text. The battle system is great; a mix of turned-based and real-time which allows a lot of freedom. You can even program all the characters’ actions via ‘gambits’ so you can be lazy and watch them automatically fight. The characters are awesome too. I’m only a small part way through, but so far impressed.
I have a job this year working part-time at BigW on the home entertainment desk. I was pretty happy when I was told what position I was being offered. Now I’m working closer to what I love; video games! It’s been interesting to hear what motivates people to buy consoles. PS2’s are still selling and the Wii is very popular. The only problem is I’m tempted to buy so many games. Maybe I’ll wait until I get a staff discount card. A larger TV would also be good…
