What do we do when we fall off the horse?

Posted by FrozenFire - February 9th, 2010


If Zoolander can't answer that question then I don't know who can.
Anyways I feel like I've fallen off the horse.

A lot of free time to be had. Upon finishing my game I realized I have the inclination to constantly need to work. I am not one of those people who enjoy sleeping at school or taking breaks during a job... I feel like I need to be doing something productive or fun no matter the circumstance.

In my spare time I'm learning Java, FruityLoops, robotics, and a little bit of AS. Going out of my comfort zone. I want to animate some toons and make some games as well, so hopefully that'll all work out for me. If any programmer is looking for a character animator or something send me a PM I guess.

Primary comes out next week guys! :) Thanks to Tom Fulp for all the help and support (really I'll give you a nice email soon cutie pie)

You will know when it's out because it will be RIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE saying "Whatsup?"

Nice icon :)

Why thank you Booglehh

There is a difference between what you do for pleasure and what you do for enjoyment. Pleasure is usually something that you do because you just like it, like eating your favorite food, drinking, watching a movie...

What you do for enjoyment always involves the use of a skill, such as sports, writing, painting, animating, and even game development.

It is important to have a balance and not over work yourself but it's also important to keep your productivity on the enjoyment side of the spectrum of what makes you happy rather than the pleasure side where you don't actually accomplish anything but fulfilling a desire.

Ok well that was deep... or I'm just full of crap. Good work on Primary and I'll drop your (fixed) logo in the game before release I promice.

You always do that :P
Im awesome... or just full of myself.

Be more decisive mister! >:U

Also thank you, you did an awesome job as well :)

I agree with Boogley, the icon is hawt.
And I disagree with Jack. I mean there's physical stimulation that comes from things like nice food and -cough ahem-, and there's emotional stimulation that comes from socialising and whatnot, but then there's the mental stimulation that I get from animating which I need just as much as I need relationships and comfy chairs. It's something I crave and I get frustrated when I can't do it. It is pleasure just as much as anything else, and I do it because it's what I need to ...get my brain off, I guess. Accomplishing things itself is a desire when it's something you're passionate about.

Why thank you Master :D
Nice counterargument, how's ol' Jack going to respond to this!?!
Stay tuned...

master ardvark wins this round! also. i hate you matt!

</3
You broke it just now <:(

...Buy a car instead?

Thinking about it.

Sorry, I'm not a gymnast.

Yessssssss!

kick ass logo
definitely beats the shit outta mine

l8s

Where's yours?

For some reason this feels like a good year to step out of comfort zones... Maybe at some point they'll acknowledge that as the 2010 zeitgeist. Probably because it's a new decade, although I don't remember much changing between 1999 and 2000.

I've not noticed many people leaving comfort zones, aside from Luis. Are you doing something new yourself?
(Battleblock Theatre doesn't count silly that was in 2009 too)

Also Y2K happened, you just have Alzheimer's

KillingFloor is a gr8 game FUCK YOU

CJ...
I want some hot coffee.

you n me both brother

You get back onnnn!

I agree, I also feel the need to work, at least a bit per day.

Though I still procrastinate a lot.

You, sir, are a conundrum!

shoot the horse

Goodnight Sea-biscuit.

when I fall off the horse I jack off

Sounds logical.

Totally can't wait for primary.

I'll be the one saying "wazzup" before the game does ;p

I CANT WAIT OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

It's exciting ! :DDD
