Switching Gears

No, I'm not talking about the Gen 1 episode, I'm talking about working on a different project for the time being.  While I'm waiting on my new computer, I've decided to work on a simpler photo-comic.  It's only a 4-panel deal with little to no special effects.  It's hopefully going to be funny (I got a laugh out of my wife from the first strip), but everyone hears how hard comedy is, so don't boo me too much.  I've got 20 strips scripted out so far, but I'm hoping to get 10 more done by today.  I'm hoping for a three posts per week schedule. 

Now I just need to find the charger for my camera!

Where's the Wii love?

Okay so that doesn't sound so good.

Like pretty much every TF fan and gamer I know, I'm eagerly awaiting this years big Transformer game.  Unlike most gamers I know, I only own a Wii, so I guess I'm waiting for Cybertron Adventures.  I know the games are going to be different between the platforms, but did they have to change the name?

And unfortunately, that's the only difference anyone knows about between the Wii and the 360/PS3 versions.  I did some research last night and not one story about this game mentioned the Wii version besides that it existed.  Does it have the same story but downgraded graphics?  Will we be getting a severely limited cast of characters?  Are the transformations controlled by shaking the remote?  Do you have to beat Megatron in a series of mini-games to win the game?  I want some answers! 

I can only hope that the game isn't changed too much from the bigger versions.  Everything I've seen of the main version is fantastic, but I am very afraid of a dummied-down version coming for the Wii, targetted towards little kids.  Maybe it's time for me to upgrade.

Waiting Game

Okay so I've got a few updates to post here.

1) Thanks again to my friend's amazing generosity, I'll be getting another computer soon. It's the computer he built to run Lightwave, so now that he's already given me the program, he figured he'd finish the package. I should be getting it soon and hopefully get back to working on Lightwave.

2) I've been accepted into TMCC so I'll be starting classes at the end of August. I should be okay money-wise until then, but once classes start, I'll be raking in the dough. I'm hoping to take some classes that can really help me on the Prototytan Project, and I'll be looking for a new job after that as well.

3) While I've been waiting on the first two to happen, I've made some good progress on the storyline, getting the first two dozen updates figured out. I haven't gotten into the scripting for them yet, but it's going to be awesome. I wish I could give some spoilers, but... I really don't have any. Come on, I can't start giving stuff away before I even have anything up!
