StarZonker
Video games, we all love them, but very few of us know how much actually goes into them. I'm beginning to understand this due to my Video Game Design class. I've spent pretty much all of my time over the past 2 weeks developing this arcade game (that was the assignment) called StarZonker.
It's a top down space shooter with a twist, when you pick up an extra ship you must place it into your fleet right away, and it shoots where you do. Play it here!
It's a work in progress, so comment up a storm. I'll be taking them into consideration for version 2.0.
Europe Update 2
I'm currently sitting in Cork International Airport in Ireland about to head over to Amsterdam. This is gonna be quick cuz i'm at a coin operated computer and I'm out of coins!
Ireland was fantastic. We went to this island called Fota and saw some cool animals with Ben and Jeremy's friend Kelly and her 2 sweet flatmates (the twins rock!), and then spent all of yesterday exploring on our own. Last night I spent my first night in a hostile, pretty cool but one guy in our room had sleep apnia something fierce (snoring like crazy!)
Pics will come as soon as possible.

European Adventure Part 1
I am currently sitting in a friend of a friend's living room abroad in Ireland. Day one complete. I'm on a massive trans contineental adventure to meet up with Matt Stokes in Amsterdam with Ben and Jeremy. We have decided to keep the plan somewhat open ended so as not to pidgeon-hole our travels. So far it HAS payed off.
Yesterday we three dudes were sitting in JFK airport when we hear a little announcement stating that our flight was overbooked and that they were looking for 4 volunteers to switch flights in exchange for an upgraade or 400 Delta Miles. The three of us all looked up at once and sort of said "Hey that could be us". As it turns out the people who they didn't have seatsd for were us, so we took the upgrade and switched flights. BEST TRAVEL DECISION EVER. Buisness class international was awesome, the food, the chairs, the personal screen with games and tv. The whole package deal.
The switch involved us flying into London instead of Shannon on the way to Dublin. Our luggage was sitting in dublin waiting for us when we got there. I was thrilled, or at least pleasantly surprised. We then took a 4 hour bus ride to Cork to stay with Ben and Jeremy's friend Kelly in her apartment/dorm abroad, which is where I am now.
More fun to come!
