There's no method to the madness.

  Moving out on Thursday.

  The timing may seem a little odd for moving into residency at my college, but I didn't receive my funding until after the school year had begun. The bus rides, and the sheer amount of time they took up (one hour there, one hour back) was really starting to grind.
  
  There will be some adjustments... but for the most part, it'll be doing things with some regularity that I shirk when possible (laundry, cleaning, etc.). I'm looking forward to having access to a decent piano, as opposed to my serviceable, but not overly beautifully sounding keyboard. A few of them, in fact.

  I'm hoping this will allow me to get more done. I'd like to spend more time on my studies, on my understanding of game development, and specific skills pertaining to both. I suppose I might have to be social, too. But I think I'd rather hide in my room and study.

  Oh, and I'm taking most of my stuff in the Rock Band box. Not Rock Band itself... although since I'm not too far from my house, I will be trading systems from the ones I have at the house periodically.
  
  Should be interesting.

  I just have one question...

  Why do people who can barely put together a complete sentence always calling others dumb?

  The internet is a strange, sad place, my friends.

  Out of the Void, Into the Deep.

  It isn't time for me to leave the forums altogether, but I am going to stop attending these forums for a while except under specific circumstances.

  Originally I started writing what was turning out to be an unique piece about genius, and how it's not about intelligence but creation, and how I needed to pursue. But of course, it would be perceived as pretentious (not many people seem to realize some stuff is legitimately heady), and that I was just another kid on the internet who thought too highly of himself, one in a long line of kids with some intelligence, but not nearly as much as perceived. I know, I've met a few.

  I'd rather just start showing what I think I've got going. If I can present something that surprises people in its quality, then maybe I can say something on the nature of genius and be heard. But to do that, I've got to focus more exclusively at the task at hand. Thus, I have to reduce the amount of time that is not dedicated to my projects. I am going to be off these forums, off all internet sites, save for those directly pertaining to my work. You will still be able to reach me at my e-mail address DavidSupina (at) gmail (dot) com, and over my AIM screen name (if you want my AIM SN, e-mail me for it, although you'll have to introduce yourself if I don't know you). And I update you guys when I am ready to announce something related to my videogame project. But for now, I need to swear off GameSpot, IGN, HockeysFuture (stupid Oilers forum...) and all the other sites I currently waste time visiting. I'll remain on GameRevolution.com, because I write for them, so at least I'll know if Kojima suddenly unveils and releases Metal Gear Solid 5 on my birthday.

  I don't want to reveal too much this early, but if you picked three genres I would be most likely to design for, this game would definitely fall into one of those three. I'll be talking more about it soon. And although it's probably not going to bear fruit as soon, I'm excited about having more time to start toying with the piano and guitar more. Music is a highly enthralling field for me to learn, and I find that when my skills with an instrument grow, using them to improvise is blissful.

  Until there is more time. See you then.
