With lockout confirmed I threw this together.
Ignoring the poor anti-aliasing, I think it turned out alright. (The poor anti-aliasing is due to the fact that I didn’t render it because the rendering wasn’t working properly.
I’ll probably come up with something better later.
A different take on it (now with rendering!) I was going to make the shadow drop out more but kept getting weird particle effects. Oh well.

I almost want the Flood to arrive to see if that actually works…

It will. I just have to give them cookies. >:D
@Silent: Loving that Flood Containment image. 
So who heard about free Reach this month?
I’ll just get a live code, redeem it on one of my other accounts and download the game. I also hope for DLC sale, that would be nice.
How’s everyone doing today?
> Beatles reference !
Unintentional.
Never listened to a single Beatles’ song.

We all live in a yellow floody mass, an orangy floody mass.
I’m done.
Well…it appears i may have to look for a new job…GS is sending me down south (approx. 1 hour away), b/c the nearby gamestops are too “packed” with staff and most of them are unfortunately new. Gonna try to see if i can squeeze into that nearby GS if not, im gonna have to resign. So, hows it going folks,

You are just not having any luck with jobs right now are you man :T.
I’m doing well, my brother left. Pretty sure my friends and the rest of my family are taking it harder than I am, which is a little hilarious to watch. I’ll probably jump on Halo today for the first time in a while since my Steam account is still down.
Didn’t realise how much time I spent playing Counter Strike until my steam account went down. On the bright, my productivity has gone up in the evenings as I’ve spent more time sketching.

Make it… stop… agh.
There’s only one thing to do now. I’m sorry it came down to this, guys…
fight fire with fire.

Yeah…and believe me, im not alone. As a resident of NJ, it is extremely hard to get a job, even when im next to NYC. However, i sent a application and resume at Valley Hospital, as a Part-Time IT (yet, may be IT in front desk, b/c i don’t want to handle the database servers containing medical information, but i’ll see how that turns out. But, the good part is im going back to school for my Bachelor’s in Computer Animation/Game Design.
May get on Halo as well or Titanfall…since i haven’t played in a while.

MOUNTAIN MOMMAAAAAAAAAA!
Hey Everyone! How is Waypoint doing today?
I never played Banjo-Kazooie, but this remix made from the game sounds amazing! Now this is a song I can’t get out of my head.
In other news, Lockdown looks sweet.

Pretty good. Waiting for my last class today. Then, home to play Xbox. 
I was pretty lucky when finding a job. I literally live 5 minutes away from my job. However, I feel at a place like Gamestop I would know more about the products being offered. Stinks that they are currently packed in our area.
I wish you the best of luck in finding a new job.

Yep. I have an evening Calc 2 class. Calc 2 is EVIL!!!..ahem… what I meant to say is that I find the class to be very tedious and annoying. I have to take it though for my Comp. Sci. major. After this semester however, i’m calc free!
As for Destiny, the anticipation is also eating away at me. Come on Sept 9th… come already!

Calc 2 class…wow. I, for one wouldn’t have survived in that class, yet it does pay off to have if you are pursuing a field in Computer Science, :D. I was supposed to take that, but took Statistics instead, :D. Yet, wish you good luck and study hard, :).

A few years ago I was exactly where you are now. I watched my friends find people, watched some break up and others get together. I watched my best friend hook up with the girl I was in love with, I knew she didn’t feel the same and never would and god did I try to not think about her.
So after thinking no one was ever going to give me a chance, I decided to give up. What was the point? That very same night I met someone. 5 years later we just got engaged. Never give up on yourself, not even for one second. You’ll find someone, I’m sure of it.
In the event you don’t, well you always have our big cuddly waypoint family
Happy news for me today as my replacement Xbox One arrived! Managed to get an advanced exchange, sounded like the hard drive was faulty (maybe a duff arm).
Sad news is that I’m spending the weekend at my fiance’s so I don’t get to playw ith it until Sunday haha

Sometimes love finds you, other times you have to find it yourself. The problem here is that with the outlook of self-imposed impossibility, you only hinder yourself.
If you deem a task impossible, you’ll see it as unobtainable and not bother trying.
But if you deem it implausible, then you’ll at least think that there’s a possibility, albeit a small one. Thus, you’ll have an incentive to try it, and you may surprise yourself and achieve it.
Think of it this way: There are about 3.5 billion women in the world. The idea that none of them would find you appealing in some way is incredibly improbable.
