I Know What I Did Last Summer

All summer, I've been without an internet connection my my computer. Why? Because I've been living with my grandmother, who only has one modem, and no nearby wireless, anywhere.

Now that I'm moved into my new apartment, and talked to Geek Squad, and got on my roommate's computer to figure out what was wrong with my laptop's wireless, detection, I can hijack a neighbor's unsecured network. And get back to all those things I never got around to doing all summer.

But why was I living somewhere without any connectivity for so long? My grandmother's house was the only place I had to stay to get to my internship. It was great fun working at an actual game company for several months, and I learned a lot while working on Quill Lord.

I'm probably still not allowed to talk about everything that went on at Pi, but I can say it's an interesting experience to work at a game studio - it's often hard to tell if people are playing games for fun or for debugging! I'll walk into work and see people playing Rock Band, Call of Duty, or Wolfenstien... it's pretty darn cool.

And to top it off, my boss will be teaching a course at Rice this semester on Game Content Creation (which I'll be taking)

Expect to see some more from me about Quill Lord this fall, and eventually, "Burgerland" from Team UnboXed, as well!

Update: It seems Team UnboXed has sort of fallen apart, and Burgerland won't be made anyway...
