Been awhile

So, it seems that I disappeared from doing this whole thing.

But, now that life has calmed down a bit, I thought that I would get back into it.

I have been thinking about, what I wanted to write in this.  i think I'm going to continue with doing the game review.  Though, I do want to re-vamp this some.  I had an interesting review method, that I think that I'm going to contine.  Though, I think I may give more of a review on the fun.

I also, wanted to just incorporate some of my new fun.

Since working with BrainMaster, I've officially gotten myself into the IT field.  I've always been good with computers, and have always had a basic knowledge of programming.  But now, I have pushed myself to a new level.

I have taught myself the development of MySQL servers, and how to integrate them with C#.  This to me, is actually really fun.  I have also taught myself using InstallShield and other software releasing software.  Not, as fun, but interesting.

Other interests that I have picked up that has nothing to do with work, are Game Developing for Microsoft (Computer and Console), as well as Android App Development.

Both are actually very similar:  XML sheets with commanding scripts.  Microsoft games use C#, while Android uses Java.

The game that I'm developing is a Zombie Apocalypse RPG.  The major part of this will be the Sprite development, and maps.  I'm thinking about going old school 16-Bit graphics.  Not sure though.

My first app, will be mainly for me, and my siblings.  This will be an Arrested Development random quote generator.  This one will be far easier than my game, and with any luck can have this done with-in a month.  So, I think I will also be reporting on both of these, as far as my progress. 

I'm going to try to do this about once a week in some form.  We'll see if I keep up with it.  I can be very ADD, and change my mind in an instant.
