Update?

Ok so it has been a while since I have commented/updated this thread about any progress on Project: 'Megaton', so I thought I had better post up. I was using facebook as a service to show updates and the like but I don't use facebook anymore and I think that me closing my account cancels the Project: 'Megaton' facebook page. Oh well, I didn't want Mark Zucherberg stealing my super sweet ideas anyways ha ha. But seriously, I haven't really done anything on the campaign. Don't get me wrong, I am certain that it will make people bow to it, it's just that I have had this slight problem come up just as of late. You see, EB Games had a half price sale on not too long ago, and I may have bought a few games and have been playing them and everything .
But that's not to say I have made no progress. I have created a teeny weeny four mission campaign just to test out campaign branching, breif/debreif texts and a few different events. Sure it may only be to kill a few 'bad guys' but nonetheless, my skillz are on the inprove.
So, after I finish a few moar gamez, I will start on another slightly more detailed campaign for some further improvement (it may even include an escort mission!) before I start on a demo for submission to the hard light community. That would be awesome ha ha 
Now back to the actual progress, I have changed the story up a little. Now it more closely matches up to the direction in which the gameplay is headed. Characters have names, even a bit of background which will show up during the campaign, and something that I thought couldn't be done that is critical to the way this is giong to work can actually be done! Yay! There is one other thing that is totally super critcal and everything that needs to be played around with to see if it will work. I know that it is for certain that some small modding may be in place to make that work, but it should be an easy fix. Just need time to look at that one and there are just too many games to play atm.
Oh and I forgot to mention that I have actually completed the very firkst campaign breifing OMG!!! Will it be changed later on? Of course it will! But it is saved and it is real and it is AWESOME!!! 
On a more serious note, it wouldn't suprise me if I have been dismissed as (vapourware?) or whatever you would say for something that's going to be made and then it doesn't. It's ok I would probably be thinking the same thing. As a matter of fact I did start to think that about myself for a bit. But then I did the first command brief and I fell on to my knees and cried in joy! Adriaaan!
Wel I had better shut up now or I will just keep on going - and who want's to read long boring posts?!?!?

Cool beans.

Man, I totally forgot EB had a half-price sale.

Tis cool. I spoke to the girl there and she said that it continues for the rest of the month. Actually we had a wierd conversation about the Farcry movie and Ewe Boll and about FPS's and stuff. I think I might go back there..... EB win @ 1/2 price 

[Dilmah G]

Heh, well EB always seem to find an occasion every few months to price their games at RRP as opposed to the $20 extra they usually charge.

HA! So true...

It's good to see you're resisting the urge to immediately work all-out on your big project; it'll mean for a better-quality product at the end.

Everybody convinced me it was a good thing to do. I agree now.

I have come up with an idea. The decent dummy campaign I make before the demo campaign should be funny and members should play it so they can rofl or even just lol a little. Yeah, I might run with that

Another Update?

Long story short (as I am at work atm) as to why I have still done absolutely nothing to do with my campaign I am creating...

- helped mother move house (about 400m down the road or a quater mile - it still takes a while)
- had to take some of mums  trees and put them in my garden cause they were free (not all are put in yet)
- had to remove old crappy trees first (that sucked)
- mothers 53rd (boy did that drag on)
- sisters 18th (had to organise some party hire and setting up and stuff)
- visit relatives 250kms away (that's 155 miles for ya'll)
- service car (it takes me a while)
- get involved in a car crash in which I capsized the trailer of the ute (pickup) I ran into (don't worry our insurance says it's his fault anyways ) I win!
- fix FOUR computers (how frustrating)
- something else
- work an extra day for the week (lame)
- help a friend move (also lame)
- get beat up at a friends party by a bunch of gate-crashers (don't worry I nut-punched one of them about 5 times whilst in a headlock)
- play some other games I bought at EB Games (for half price mind you)
- help brother in-law route cables up through his bedroom wall at his parents house and re-network the house (oh the joy of cables and networks that wont play nice)
- just hang out and do some random stuff

Well, that kinda covers most of it.
 I think now I am hopefully back to the normal 'don't do much' stuff. Apart from planting the rest of the free trees I got from my mums house and some game playing, I should manage to do a little bit of FREDing. Except when my fiance says to stop spending too much time on the computer. I actually do want to do some FREDing but I also really want to play some games so I gotta get these games outta the way first I think 

Happy financial new year!!!!!

Ew, fight.

Good man.

You know that sounds very similar to what happened to me last month. About a hundred bad things all at once, huh?

Good work popping that guy's balls though.

Thanks for the support 
The doctor suspected I may have had a cracked rib because it hurts when I do something involving an awkward movement. He said he wouldn't bother with an x-ray because if it was cracked, or just really really bruised, there would be nothing he could do anyways. I also got kneed in the thigh a few times which hurts. Kinda explains why I don't even really go out to pubs or clubs much. Last time I was in a fight, a proper fight, was in primary school I think. Too many jerks out and about with the intention of ruining peoples nights. Like with these people. One of them hit a guy I know and I go over there to help him and two other gate-crashers got my from behind so he could continue to fight him, and so these two fellas just lay into me. Hell ghey. They stopped when a friend took one of the guys off me plus me hitting one of them in the nuts a few times. Ruined the night it did.....

Anywho to get back on topic - this will be the best campaign EVAR!!! Moar Megaton j00 will all say! ha ha

[Dilmah G]

I don't even see the point in gatecrashing a party with the intention of picking a fight, hell (in an example more relevant to my age bracket), I don't see the point in a dozen sixteen year olds gatecrashing the parties of other sixteen year olds, carrying cleavers and kitchen knives. I mean, if you're going to gatecrash a party, free booze is the only excuse.
