Close
This is the MasterMachine, a future writer/game designer, enthusiast of retro games , and one bored nerd with nothing else to do all in one. Currently a student at Ball State University, I am planning on going into the gaming industry one small step at a time. As of now, I plan to start small and make, at least, a couple of RPGs, as well as possibly review some games here and there. Currently, I'm being weighed down by college, so progress on any and all titles may be a bit delayed. On the flip side, if I can find the time to settle down and get back into track on game making, I might post something soon, before Halloween comes around. As a hint on my latest project, it'll be a dark, gritty tale with a character that apparently has amnesia. Keep on the lookout for any and all future projects to come, for you may never know when I'll submit my latest ideas.

Cho Aniki for PSP
Wait, so the latest Cho Aniki game is being released in America? O_o
Then again, I've played the first one via Virtual Console, which I do admit is a decent shooter, as well as an SNES rom for Bakuretsu Rentouhen, which could have been an awesome fighting game. Been looking for a working iso for Ai Cho Aniki, mostly for shits and giggles, but I haven't had much luck yet. If Zero Cho Aniki is being released in America, I'll just have to see how it is when it's released. But from the looks of it, seems like we're getting another quirky, if not fun, side-scrolling shooter on our hands, which is always good, especially since I like old-school shooter games.

Language in Games
Whenever you apply a swear word in a game, or in any other piece of work, you should think clearly about three things:
Who is swearing?
When is the character swearing?
Why is the character swearing?
Whenever I write anything and whenever there's dialogue, I tend to think of the situation at hand, the people involved, and what each others' responses will be. For example, if you're character's a teenage or an adult who isn't a goody-two-shoes and they're in a conversation with another friend about someone they don't like or if something in the conversation bothers one of the characters either about who they're talking with or if they're mentioning someone they don't like, it's okay to let a curse word or two fly if you want. Or, if something surprises your character, don't be afraid to let him or her say something, depending on his or her overall personality. However, when it gets to the point where everyone, even the little children, start talking like they're from South Park for no reason whatsoever, just because the author can't think of anything better to write, then no, that's just immature, not to mention stupid.
I don't like to read, watch, or play anything if it's all just a bunch of pointless cursing. I mean, seriously, if I want to hear someone swear up a storm, there's always the Angry Video Game Nerd and even HE knows how to swear and when it's both cool and funny. I mean, there's got to be a good reason as to why someone's saying a word or calling someone by a certain name. Yes, swearing can be cool and if done right, it can also be funny, but there's a certain line between awesome and bad. If you just want to make a game that consists of foul language and awkward humor, be my guest. Just remember that unless you're a man of good humor or if you're clever enough with the language, there's a good chance that it'll suck.
Bottom line is, use your swearing sparingly. Don't just make your characters swear just because you think it's cute or funny. Take your characters' language seriously, even if it's a comedy.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Right now, since Halloween's coming up, I've been playing Resident Evil 2 and I'll soon be playing Silent Hill, both for the old-school PlayStation (still got a PlayStation 2 that plays them both perfectly). I've also joined up with an old friend on Mabinogi, so if anyone's on the Mari server, my current name is Elisen, though I might make another character soon.
Edit: I just made an alt, so whenever I'm not playing as my main char, my name is Stevus.

What is your personality?
What is your personality?
Analytical Thinkers are reserved, quiet persons. They like to get to the bottom of things - curiosity is one of their strongest motives. They want to know what holds the world together deep down inside. They do not really need much more to be happy because they are modest persons. Many mathematicians, philosophers and scientists belong to this type. Analytical Thinkers loathe contradictions and illogicalness; with their sharp intellect, they quickly and comprehensively grasp patterns, principles and structures. They are particularly interested in the fundamental nature of things and theoretical findings; for them, it is not necessarily a question of translating these into practical acts or in sharing their considerations with others. Analytical Thinkers like to work alone; their ability to concentrate is more marked than that of all other personality types. They are open for and interested in new information.
Analytical Thinkers have little interest in everyday concerns - they are always a little like an “absent-minded professor†whose home and workplace are chaotic and who only concerns himself with banalities such as bodily needs when it becomes absolutely unavoidable. The acknowledgement of their work by others does not play a great role for them; in general,they are quite independent of social relationships and very self-reliant. Analytical Thinkers therefore often give others the impression that they are arrogant or snobby - especially because they do not hesitate to speak their mind with their often harsh (even if justified) criticism and their imperturbable self-confidence. Incompetent contemporaries do not have it easy with them. But whoever succeeds in winning their respect and interest has a witty and very intelligent person to talk to. A partner who amazes one with his excellent powers of observation and his very dry humour.

It takes some time before Analytical Thinkers make friends, but then they are mostly friends for life. They only need very few people around them. Their most important ability is to be a match for them and thus give them inspiration. Constant social obligations quickly get on their nerves; they need a lot of time alone and often withdraw from others. Their partner must respect this and understand that this is not due to the lack of affection. Once they have decided in favour of a person, Analytical Thinkers are loyal and reliable partners. However, one cannot expect romance and effusive expressions of feelings from them and they will definitely forget their wedding anniversary. But they are always up to a night spent with stimulating discussions and a good glass of wine!

Heh, sure sounds a lot like me! They've got my personality nailed down almost perfectly.
Who Are You Mean To?
In my latest project, many of my characters are screwed over in one way or another. Heck, the whole point of it is that the main hero's out to get revenge over something that the main antagonist did to him, his girlfriend, and the entire kingdom he's in command of, which is now a bad memory he wishes to block out. Oh, and don't get me started on the main antagonist's back story...
post your picture
kentona is leaving ;o;
Nice knowing you while you were around. Good luck with the newborn and may you enjoy life to its fullest. Oh, and feel free to come back every once in a while. Who knows, maybe I'll post another game and even get a demo released at some point in time!
What are you thinking about right now?
I've got so many ideas, so many works I've begun, so many stories to tell... Unfortunately, I've also got to concentrate on college. I need time to sort it all out and focus on something, but there's too many ideas and I don't have any close friends who can peer review. I'd like to work on my latest game project, but at the same time, I've got homework and a lot of ideas for novels, short stories, etc. So many ideas, yet so little time and no one to talk to. Ugh! Life sure sucks sometimes...
Dreams
I get strange dreams all of the time, believe me, but there was an interesting one I had quite a few years ago, back when I was in junior high school, which I still remember to this day. In it, whenever I'd close my eyes and snap my fingers, I'd appear in a different bed in a different room. I didn't recognize any of the rooms in my dream, but I'd keep shutting my eyes and snapping away. I think I might have gone through ten to fifteen different bedrooms in that one dream, but in the last room that I recall, I was lying on a counter top in a kitchen area and it was during daytime. I noticed an African man I don't quite recognize on another counter edge across from me, who was cutting up bread or something, probably making a sandwich. While he was tending to his chore, him and I had a quick conversation, don't remember what about. After closing my eyes again, the dream ended and I woke up back in my own bed, in my own room, in reality of course. It's not the weirdest dream I had, but it was still pretty interesting.
EDIT:
Don't know if you're being serious, but damn, it sure would suck to wake up to that... :`- l

This isn't dream related, but I woke up with my entire family in bloody peices that look like they were chopped by an axe. I'm sad because my DQ8 poster has blood all over it.
