Hiho!

It's been a while, so I wanted to ask what's new? Besides Chaos Groove, that is ;)

Finally break out of your while loop?

Anyway, many still speak of you here. I remember taking a code snippet you posted a few months ago (don't worry, I gave ya credit). So what have you been up to.

As far as I can tell, a.cc seems to be pretty much the same since I joined a while ago. Oh and allegro 5.0...still doesn't exist.

Yeah, but 4.3 is likely to be renamed as 4.9 ;)

Nothing to speak of. Maybe we should ask you, there has been rumours around here. Some said you got stuck in Azeroth, others said you got married, etc.

I assume he was also busy writing another book about game development, which according to amazon.de is to come out in August this year.[edit]Looking at it again, it seems to be just a re-release, not an entirely new book.[/edit]

Hi ho spellcaster oh! \o/ ;D

I'm still working for the same company, trying to write games for a living (but instead ending up doing systems and libraries for the games :-X), and still participating in SpeedHacks and TINSes and then neglecting to review :-X ;D

(The company and their game shall remain nameless. I put its name into my profile on Orkut but set it visible to friends only, and a player found me by searching for it. Bastard ;D)

What are you up to?

I missed that previous thread, so

Oops, now that should be called 'old'. However my apology for ignorance is that I was out for two months from july to august and didn't have teh internets.

Instead of making a new book about game development with Allegro, you could write a new one: "How I cured my addiction to WoW"

Interesting ;)
According to my editor, they are just "thinking about it" .. hm.. I should ask for more money, if they already advertise on amazon, heh.

Well, basically, Blizzard did cure me. I basically got bored and slightly frustrated. My wife is still enjoying WoW, though.

Quote:

That never happened. It's still on our list of things we really want to do, though.

What have I done in the mean time? Not much to be honest. We moved a couple of kilometers into a bigger apartment, instead of a desk in our living room I do now have my own (but small) office:

{"name":"office.png","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/9\/c\/9c2fba1f4c87214daf57b83ccfc64326.png","w":800,"h":200,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/9\/c\/9c2fba1f4c87214daf57b83ccfc64326"}office.png

I do have some ideas for games in my mind, and after quitting WoW I do finally have the time to actually code something again. So chances are not bad that I might post some questions or code snippets in the near future.

Welcome back Spelly!

We've missed you in your abscensce. As you can see from this thread (which BTW is still open), many of us have been wondering where you've been. It's good to have you back.

There's no such thing as quitting; only extended periods of offline. :P

Sounds like you're where I was a month or so ago. I quit WoW for a while after spending time at 60, then went raiding MC and BWL, then guild fell apart, then played with friends to gear up for BC, then quit until it came out, then had fun in Outlands, then everyone got bored at 70 and left and I have no reason to play anymore. :P So I've been in and out over the last few years, pretty much out for good now. All my spare time is going into my current projects, and coming here for advice/amusement.

PS: Nice to see you back.

PPS: Link your armory. ;)

Not quite. I left a nicely working raid, because spending my time either raiding, farming for mats to raid or doing some pvp to get some items I could use for the raid got boring.

I even tried to start playing again... but I just felt bored.

My armory entry is not available because I haven't been in the game for a while, sorry. But I had a epic/blue equipped shadow priest (70). The other chars never made it beyond 65 (hunter, warlock, rogue).

And since the next bliz game is SC and not Diablo, there's no chance of getting addicted again in the near future. I also kinda like the fact that I know have time. It's a pretty nice thing if you have been raiding 5 days a week for 1.5 years.

Young Spellcaster.. You have much to do to atone for your geeky level 70.

Unfortunately you can't write that you achieved Level 70 to your CV. :)

At the moment I'm liking the fact that I can spend 1 hour a week doing Arenas and obtain better epics than my guildies who spend 4-5 hours raiding every second day... although that is partly to do with the fact that there is only 1 DPS plate item in the whole of Kara. I loved heroic instances though - best thing about TBC in my opinion, but I've now got every single item I need from them (apart from maybe one or two epic gems), so I've not got much incentive to do them :(
