Post by: Jabu on October 17, 2001, 04:44:00 pm: I don't really have anything to play now that my game controller port has crapped out on me.

So it's about 5-6 hours of forum camping while doing modeling, listening to MP3s and the occasional PSP work.

Hey, PSP6 is quite good:

Post by: Martinus on October 19, 2001, 07:18:00 am: Not a lot unfortunately, I have a gameboy advance (which really kicks *** ) that I play whilst travelling between my home and my student house, it's good for when you want to wile away the wee hours without making a racket. (and it makes kids jealous (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/icons/icon12.gif) )

On the whole though I can't do a lot with my computer in its current state so I'm not getting much more than some basic C++ programming and a little VB done.

Post by: wEvil on October 19, 2001, 11:55:00 am: good o'l potato shop.

I was trying to do a uni assigment yesterday and ive never used the thing before...the tutor was going through it and i just wound up thinking..

"now to i need to open this orange file and map it to the banana channel to mask off the lettuce....err...???"

i dunno.. i sortof worked it out but as far as i can tell the workflow needs serious tweaking...its damned user unfriendly if ever ive seen one. Softimage|3D was easier than this (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Post by: The Claw on October 19, 2001, 12:31:00 pm: Depends really... I normally spend the time I've got nothing else to do doing stuff on the computer...
I'd say maybe a coupla hours a night, plenty of time talking to my friends and posting on forums... And of course, listening to music all the while (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
