Good Eats
Unless your school has a culinary arts program, it’s a pretty safe assumption that even though the cafeteria food will be better than that of any public school system, it’s still going to suck sometimes.
That’s the case with Café Scad— fondly, SCafé. Some days, it’s not too bad. Others…stomach-ache inducing. Sometimes, a break is definitely necessary.

Scariest. Shit. Ever.
I’m not really a huge horror fanatic. In fact, I’m simply awful with horror.
Which is why I can’t play Amnesia: The Dark Descent alone.
Fuck that “you don’t get the whole experience” bullshit. No. Uh-uh. Those people at Frictional Games are horribly sick and twisted developers. They know how to scare the pants off of people. Hard. Fucking. Core.
I just...

Research?
My 3D Design professor says I need to do more extensive visual research in my sketchbook for each project (which will consequently bring up my sketchbook grade, haha). What she means is that instead of coming up with a concept and finding reference pictures and sketching my concept, she wants to see more “general research”.
For example, we’re just about to start an open planar...

Tired.
Hanging out with your friends and staying up all night until 4, 5…maybe 6:00 AM is really fun! …Until it starts to screw with the rest of your life.

Google Art Project →
Just heard about this. Apparently Google brought their Street View camera inside 17 different art galleries around the world. Now, over 1,000 different works of art are online. Each museum picked 1 work for a 7-billion-pixel photograph. The MoMA uploaded Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night. You can zoom in on these super high-res photos to view even the smallest details…everything from an...

Global Game Jam: The Aftermath
After a very hectic, very awesome weekend, Global Game Jam is finally over.
In case anyone is not aware, Global Game Jam is an industry crunch-time simulation, in which teams are challenged to create a full video game in 48 hours.
Despite being a freshman and having doubts about my usefulness on a team, I was very excited about this event from the start. Every person I talked to said that...

Global Game Jam
Right now I’m sitting in Montgomery Hall, almost 17 hours into Global Game Jam.
Global Game Jam is an industry crunch-time simulation, in which you and a team create a fully functioning video game in 48 hours.
Being a freshman, I don’t have very much to offer as far as skillsets…I’m good with Illustrator and Photoshop, but I’ve never touched Maya or UDK (the...
