That's It







This class was pretty cool. I think if I had a more updated computer I would have enjoyed it more. SL is a great place to hold online classes, if you meet in the right places. This class defiantly got me more computer savvy and taught me the basics of computer graphics and imaging. I had a great time with Tim, Ges and Stew and Aaron thanks or your patience with me and for all the time and effort. Thanks again to everyone and good luck. Hope to see you guys down the road some where.

Meet and Greet




It was pretty easy meeting people in SL. Everyone I talked to was pretty friendly and had no problem talking to me. I was laughing at myself because if someone outside our class tried to talk to me on SL, I'd immediately assume their creepiness, but here I was trying to talk to people I'd never met before and it was just the opposite. The shoe on the other foot I guess.

Virtual Hallucination






The VH was a weird experience. When I first heard the voices I thought there was something wrong with the settings or there was someone around me trying to talk to me. It took me a second to figure out it was the Hallucination. The repetitive suicidal sayings, over and over again in my headset began to get creep when there was more then one going at a time. Some of the things in the building itself were weird like the floor disappearing and re-appearing. The tour made me realize being a schizophrenic isn't a joke really.

FPS




I've alays been a fan o FPS games. I usually lean more towards the more realistic shooters like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty so I figured I'd give the furturistic side of FPS a try. Halo was one of the only ones I knew of so I figure I'd give it a shot. After taking some time to get used to the feel of the game and getting used to how different it was from Call of Duty I began to enjoy it. It's a totally different feel when your playing but its a cool 2nd genre of FPS.
