Life on Mars - Yearly Mumble now?
Yes there is life here on Mars. Talk about slacking huh - no posts since almost a year ago even.
Well lots of things have changed. PSU is now gone the way of the dinosaur. Was a great run and I think we did the game of PlanetSide justice as a fan site. We did a lot of very innovative things with AGN as well but it just didn't feel the same when Sporkfire left. In fact PSU lost a lot of steam about the time when SmokeJumper left. I think we all saw the writing on the wall that Planetside's time has come and gone. PSU hung around into the beginning of this year but slowly died a quiet death. I stand and salute the PS dev team, Hamma and the PSU staff, and all the fans which made the heart and soul of PSU and the PS community.
Clan Draconus Lupus continues on and is thriving with World of Warcraft as well as BattleField 2, firmly established as a multi-gaming clan of solid friends who will be playing online games together for many years to come. WoW has been an amazing game so far and attracted an enormously diverse player base. WoW allows for user created addons, one of the more popular collection/compilation is 'Cosmos'. I had been originally assigned as Tactical Assests Officer in CDL back in the Tribes 2day as that game also had a staggering amount of available scripts which sometime can be difficult to manage. As part of those duties, I began to hang out on the Cosmos developers areas and eventually became a "Cosmos Community Helper" helping post in the forums to answer users questions. So from the gaming aspect, that's what keeps me busy.
My personal life has been a rollercoaster ride.
My latest amusement has been with the recent craze of podcasting. The old TechTV folks, Leo, Patrick, Kevin, Alex, and others are all producing shows on the net often distributed by podcasts. http://www.thisweekintech.com is Leo Laport's project and strangle reminds me of AGN's Community Night from it's general format. Shoutcaster have been doing this stuff for years now. It's funny how this is now something "new". Kinda gives me the urge to put something "on the air" from the podcasting side. Who knows - perhaps? I'm pretty sure Hamma gets the urge to dust off the mic as well. We'll see what turns up.
Enough mumbles for now .. podcasting.. hummm :)
