I was looking around in my closet last week and found the packaging for my very first portable gaming console. The (game.com) from Tiger.  As far as I know, it was the very first portable gaming system to offer online capabilities. Of course you had to buy a special 14.4 kb modem to access it’s online capabilities, which was sold separately. Got to love those business practices designed to eat away at your pockets.  

            It was more of a pda/gaming platform. Much like the Iphone, Psp, and Nintendo DS as you know them today. You could even say that it was a predecessor for these current portable platforms. It even came equipped with stylus and touch screen. This was very forward thinking on Tiger’s part, but unfortunately the Nintendo Gameboy continued to reign supreme, and this console was overshadowed. It soon suffered the same fate as so many others when put in direct competition with the Nintendo’s alternative.   Here is the Wiki page for more information in case you are interested.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game.com

Hey Internets,

Until further notice I will only be abandoning most of the social networking sites that I participate in, and updates will only come from my blog here and maybe twitter. If you really need to get in touch with me use one of my email addresses, twitter, are I will be on Aim occasionally. All that information should be listed under (My Info) on my facebook profile. Thanks everyone,  I really need to fade away from the nets for a while, until I can become more organized and disciplined. Now, time to reawaken this blog!

Here is an assortment of books that have stocked piled themselves  since my college days. I have not even finished most of them, and there are still some that are not pictured.  If my Amazon wishlist made an appearance, I probably would not be able to maneuver in my room. Well since I have more time to myself these days, there is no time like the present to finish them. Most of them are really good reads to!  If you have any information are want to know about any of them, let me know. Also if you have any suggestions for books to read, they would be greatly appreciated also. I enjoy books about 3D modeling, digital art, lighting, color theory, and science fiction. Thanks!

Okay so this blog has been in development a long time now. Meaning, that I have been thinking about doing it for a long time. I am finally getting around to actually updating this thing now that I am close to graduating from college, and I feel somehow more motivated to do so.  I have a lot of new information that I would love to share with anyone interested in my blog.  Most of it is squarely focused on videogames or videogame art to be more precise, but I am also constantly gathering information and news on various other tech related subjects. This is really the first update so I will keep it short. There will be updates on all of the new projects that I am working on, and information on my journey to get a job in the game industry after I graduate from college; hopefully this will help someone who is looking to travel down a similar path. I have a lot of exciting new projects in development, but I will show more of them as I post more frequently. Well, I think that will be all for this post. Till next post, create your reality.
