...Yup!
That's right. Getting bored with the other forums I'm at, and since CP seems to be moving more towards more serious game dev than the other ones, I'm gonna try sticking around a bit so that I can maybe pick up some tips and tricks for my game/game engine that I've been wanting to make. I'm still considering game making a hobby for right now, as the field of work I wish to get in right now is Human Services, so pursuing that takes priority.

As some of you may or may not know, I had several suicide attempts last summer, and the last one (gonna be 1 year ago, come August 17) made me realize how damn selfish I was being. So now, on fewer meds and in 100% better spirits, I'm working on looking for a job, going to be moving into my own apartment, looking to get moving on getting my driver's license, and just loving life. Oh, and I broke up with my girlfriend roughly 2-3 months ago after I found out that A. she was a bitch, B. she had cheated on me, and C. she was trying to change who I was to fit her own needs.

It was a rocky relationship from the start, but I was too blinded by lies and deception to see that (which not only hurt emotionally, but financially as well...spent roughly $2,000 on her in the 4-5 months we were together ($300 of which went to a pre-engagement ring which she conned me into buying...)). Anywayssss...that's a basic summary of what's been going on since my activity dropped...who's still here, and what are you guys up to?

Hoping to stick around,

Welcome back into the Chaos!! Good to see you around again, and I'm sure we'll all be able to learn from each other with the game dev stuff.



As to the rest of it, if you ever need to talk, I'm always available.

Hop aboard the game train!  We chug right along from sunrise to sunset to sunrise!  We don't rest, our engine's the best!

I'm in the process of rewriting Blizz-ABS.  As the line above makes a reference to, several people including Blizzard are working on a 2D game engine, so that should be cool if it ever gets done.

Welcome back :)

Welcome back!

You probably were here right before I registered (early 2010), so to me it's more of a welcome than a welcome back... But whatever, I'm glad an old friend of CP has returned :D!

Probably around the time of my last suicide attempt, which was on August 17th, 2010. After that, I may have popped on a couple times, but not for an extended amount of time. Hoping to rectify that :)
