Possibilities for Youtube
After a lengthy exchange with Kuckles on Twitter I figured it would be a good idea to make a little Tumblr post about what I am pondering for my channel. Twitter doesn’t exactly lend it’self very well to lengthy prose.
For my channel I will be making tutorials, the first being for Sculptris. I already have footage recorded but will need to re-record some as well as lots of...

Dre's Gift of Gaming
Hey everyone, this year I thought I would do a random act of kindness for others by having my first Gift of Gaming Giveaway. I have been lucky to have the means of procuring so many great games and since video games are such a big part of my life, I felt I should share. I think games have the capacity to offer so much entertainment and value to a person and doing kind things for others is...

A Question From @Uforik
Today I was asked by Uforik on Twitter about what might be my next playthrough. I realized my response was going to be a bit longer than the 140 character limit imposed on Twitter so here we are.
While playing an Elder Scrolls game may be fun, as they are some of my favorite experiences, I am inclined to not do so since David has already done some Oblivion videos, which are great. It would seem...

The Move
For the past few days, I have been working on getting my stuff packed up and moved into my new apartment. Sure I have moved out before but that was to live with my good friend Jon. This time though, I’m on my own. My humble one bed, one bath apartment is housing just me and my belongings and I have to be honest with you, I have a lot of crap!
I like to think people don’t realize...

Another Summer
Hey buddies! Looks like I am making it to another summer which I am very thankful for. This semester has been just all over the place for ups and downs. So what will I be doing this summer? Well first thing is moving! In about nine days I will be moving to my own apartment and this will be a huge and wonderful change for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents and will be dropping by...

Being a Game Developer - An Interview
This is for anyone like myself in pursuit of working in the video game development industry. I was tasked in my Business and Professional Communications course to interview someone in my chosen industry for a presentation I will be giving. Having had just recently learned a few weeks ago of Crate Entertainment, a company composed of a handful of talented designers from now defunct Ironlore...

Yeesh, Tumblr is being iffy as heck today. Error after error every time I try and make a change.

New Theme Again
Updated my theme to something a bit more bloggy. Bloggy? Blog-tastic? Blogadocious? Blogadocious. Anyways it has a better format for text and is a bit more straight forward plus I like how it incorporates my Twitter on the sidebar.

Sony's NGP - A Major Win?
The NGP was announced just last week and won’t be released until closer to the holidays to enjoy it with turkey and eggnog. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t already made big waves. On the contrary, this amazing looking device of epic input options seems set to really push mobile gaming in a big way but even then, there are some major concerns and possibilities that may be missed by...

Learn C++
http://www.learncpp.com/
This is by far the best reference I have found for learning C++ for my personal learning style. The organization of the material presented coupled with the various quizzes provided at the end of each section show that spending any money on a textbook to be asinine as this resource is comprehensive and concise.

Gosh Darnit! Levels and Videos
So I have been working on two things lately, getting some work on my Team Fortress 2 level done and recording some Dre’s First videos. I just felt like giving an update as to what is going on with these.
Team Fortress 2 level is coming along rather slowly. I hit a speed bump based around working with displacements. I had never worked with displacements much in the Source Engine, or in...

Hello World! Game On!
Well this Thanksgiving weekend has been just insane with deals from Valve on Steam. I have purchased a ton of games and incredible discounts but I will not be playing them just yet. I am curious to see what people may want to see me play on YouTube. Here is a list of the games none of which I have played any of except for VVVVVV a little bit while at work. I don’t really count that though...

New Theme
I changed my theme again. I think I have found one that I for sure can settle with. Called Revista, it is a very beautiful tile based theme. Very simple with a lot of posts showing at one time.

Project Escape - Update
So far things are going pretty well with this. I have all of the main brushes put into place for the level. I’m working on texturing, props and lighting as of now. Once getting this level built, I will hopefully have some friends do some play testing with it to get some input.
It is rather short and none of my custom content will be in it yet. I am pretty much just focusing on...

My Obsession, Psych
I really love Psych. It is my favorite show currently and I have been watching each episode on Netflix. James Roday and Dule Hill, as Shawn and Gus respectively, have such great personalities on the show that work with and against each other. Their interactions are all over the place from hilarious to bro-mosexual without being as awkward as any episode of Scrubs.
I do have to say though that...

ANAP VAPCI - Articles
Just remember, the nine great ANAP VAPCI! It’s a nice mnemonic to remember what the nine parts of English speech are.
Article – The, An and A are examples of articles. These words cannot be used alone. Really when have you ever responded to anything with ‘the’ or ‘a’…okay so you could use the letter A as a response to a multiple choice question but you know what I mean. What these words are...

Dre Decides to Learn How to Write Better
So I know I’m not a very strong writer. I also know I’m horrid with spelling and grammar. I have been thinking for a while that I should perhaps invest some time into working towards bettering this aspect of my intelligence given that it is such a large part of my life.
I have to write at work, for school and especially on my blog. Without good writing skills, I know I will turn...
Pants
It’s official. I like the way my pants feel today.
Put up the video I played at the end of my presentation in class for Left4Dead on YouTube. Here is the short little paper I submitted on it. Read it after the break.
Left 4 Dead is a co-operative single or multiplayer experience. The game consists of four players, taking on the roles of Louis, Francis, Bill, and Zoey, working together...
Tumblr?
Here I am checking out this Tumblr thing. Really I am not exactly feeling Wordpress and wanted to find something I don’t have to worry about so much. Maybe this is it.
