Anyway, I have been playing Rayman Origins lately. It's a great game. Yesterday, after getting all lum medals and time trophies, I sat down and tackled The Land of the Livid Dead.

Freaking. Hard. Level.

I mean, if you stand still at the entrance for too long, a little old lady walks up to you, swings her hand bag at you, and you die.

Just like that.

Not that it wasn't also fun, it just made me want to strangle a level designer.

And then the credits rolled. Rayman Origins does something that I've never seen in a game before. It lets you attack the credits. The individual letters are frozen in blocks of ice, which can be smashed to leave gaping holes in the names of the Ubisoft staff.

It was worth the difficulty of The Land of the Livid Dead just to be able to destroy the names of the people who put me through so much. :)

That and the Platinum trophy that I got as well.


On a side note, I got the boxed set of 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time' and 'Summer Wars'. They are both excellent movies, especially Summer Wars. I recommend them both to any fan of Anime.

I've always had an interest in art and animation, but I didn't actually create much of it until fairly recently. The beginning was when an uncle gave me Flash 4 as a gift. It was old, even then, but I didn’t know this at the time. I gradually learnt the ins and outs of it and created some simple animations. Nothing too fancy of course, but enough to get some practice.

After I finished school, I went straight into a Multimedia TAFE course. Amongst other lessons, we learnt about using Flash to make animations and interactive content, as well as 3D modelling and rendering. I greatly enjoyed the course and felt that I got a lot out of it, but I had no luck getting a job in the industry.

After a year of unemployment, I went back and did another TAFE course, this time in surveying, which is hardly a creative line of work. I decided that I didn’t want to lose my artistic edge, so I started drawing again.

I’ve threatened myself that I’ll get a DeviantArt account for years now. Finally, here it is.

I watched the whole thing straight after I commented. It was really excellent. It's been a long time since I've found anything that good on the Internet.

Thank you very much.

I guess that I haven't been as active as I could be in the community.

Your comment helps. :)
