SaySwap! YEEEEEHA!

I know this is a little irregular, but I gotta post something about this site:

If you have a console or a PC, and you have games you want to get rid of, then you really need to check out SaySwap! You can trade in your old games for points (10,20,30 or 40 depending on the value of the game) then buy a trading token, (first one is $2.50, all others are $4.95) and then any member who has the game you want and is willing to trade it to you, will send you the game, and then they'll collect the points! It's really neat, and you ought to go try it out right now. :D

The URL is: http://www.sayswap.com/

I've already traded in Quake 4 (Xbox 360) and Morrowind (Xbox) and I've received ProjectGothamRacing2 (Xbox) and I'll be getting GRAW 2 (Xbox 360) soon!

So try it! You'll love it!

:D :D

A Generic Blog Entry

Hi, this is Alexander.

Now that all that is out of the way, here's my reason for posting, I bought a nice refurbished PowerMac G4 933Mhz for $300, and I am getting upgrades and a monitor for it. The reason I bought a G4 and not a G5 is that I need something that boots in OS9 (Sorry Apple, Classic stinks) and doesn't just have classic. Also, I've been playing Halo 3, loads of it, and having tons of fun, so that's a bit of a time drainer right there.

Anyway, I am currently working on getting Marathon INFESTED to a FUN playable state. It's playable right now, but it's not fun (don't ask why). Also, I've been really working hard on graphics, and other things, so maybe I'll get some improved screenshots up some time. Something that looks like a marathon project.

Cya then!

Marathon INFESTED Chapter One Screenshots

Marathon INFESTED Screenshots

Chapter One

Level 01: A-Class UESC "Shockwave"

Chapter One starts in an Assault Class ship named the UESC "Shockwave". The mission of the "Shockwave" is to annihilate a large rebel anti-cloak device and capture the rebel base that controls it. Before the "Shockwave" can airdrop troops into the base, a massive fleet of rebel stealth ships attacks, and puts the entire ship on defense. After entering from the engine room, the rebels proceed to destroy equipment on board, kill the crewmen, and make their way towards the stasis chambers where the MJOLNIR Cyborg is in stasis sleep. Unfortunately for them, when they reach the chambers, the Cyborg isn't in stasis anymore...

Summer Begone!

Autumn is awesome. Period. Summer is finally dying and slowly giving way to the sweet cool winds and weather of the fall Autumn season... WHAT?!?!??! No seriously, it's just better. Sure, now when I wake up I'm creaky and cranky, and my feet are cold, plus my hands shake when I'm working because it gets cold in the winter. Buuuuuut, I'd rather chill then bake. Haha.

Now, all that pish posh aside, let's get down the business. Marathon INFESTED is running on a progress speed never known to man. And in celebration of the great event known as "The Release of Halo 3" I will have some screenshots out either ON the 25th, or before!

Hopefully INFESTED will benefit from my crunch time, and be up and in a more playable form soon.

That's all for now.

Oh, and remind me to update my mailing list more often, I keep forgetting. :\

COD4:MW

I admit it. I'm a huge fan of COD4 now. It's so amazing, and looks and plays great. It hasn't taken the place of work on INFESTED mind you, but it's still pretty danged fun.

Bloody HOT Summer!!!

This summer has been a killer. Yes a killer. I go outside and my face turns to molasses, and drips sweat until I die of dehydration. And when it's not baking, it rains.

All these environmental hazards of rain and heat make working INFESTED all the more enticing to one who's favorite time of the year is shady cool fall. That's good though, because work on INFESTED has picked up since I finished some work for Inspire Media. I'm sloooowly getting better at texturing, and I found the oh-so awesome base textures that I really needed for my textures, so I'm very happy to say that some cool media should be hitting the web soon. Of course soon could be long or short wait, depending on your perspective. For me, soon is always TOO soon, but nevertheless I strive to get something out for people to see. Since I'm pretty much the only guy working on this project, I have to juggle all the elements of the game on my own.

Oh, and don't tell anyone, but I almost posted this entry as "Boody HOT Summer!!!". Darned "L" trying to evade the summer too, I see. :P

Anyway, stay tuned for more, and perhaps some story as well. I enjoy writing those mini-story things, and they give you guys (and girls? yeah right) some insight into the plot of the game.

Until next time, Adios.
