It was last week when I told him, during a big party. There were a lot of people around supporting me, so I couldn't get hit. Somehow, all I got was an hour long gesture on listening to rule and not trusting ANYONE

Heres the crazy part. He's even going to try and buy me a new iPod! With my birthday and Christmas money, I'll be able to have a cozy PS3 and a new iPod! 8D. It seems as if karma truly was blessed upon me.

I still want those thieves dead, though.

Every day for the bus, I bring my iPod and PSP in my backpack with me, since the ride is an hour and a half long. Obviously, I don't take either out outside of the bus, due to obvious reasons
Well, it seems as if somebody on the bus wanted my stuff
Two weeks ago, on an early release day, my normal lunch table was full during lunch(Duh). Instead, I sat next to my friend in an otherwise empty table. Suddenly, a group of thuggish looking guys came up to my friend and start asking him about random stuff. I just ignore them and eat my fewds. A few seconds later, they walk away. After finishing off my lunch, I get the trash and grab for my backpack, when I notice it's not there. I searched through the whole damn cafeteria, asked every lunch lady if I had it with me, and even looked in the trash cans!
To no avail, as it seemed as if those guys grabbed my backpack while I wasn't looking. Like I said before, it had my iPod and PSP in it, as well as a few personal belongings. After reporting the theft, they told me they couldn't do a thing, there wasn't enough evidence. Ordinarily, I wouldn't be so scared, as my mom doesn't really care.
I can't say the same thing about my dad, he spent hundreds of dollars on the stuff. Somehow, the news leaked through to most of my family EXCEPT my dad, luckily. These past two weeks, he still hasn't found out

I had almost forgotten about the ordeal, when my mom comes into my room today and gives me a small speech. She basically said my dad would eventually find out, especially during Christmas, and he would grind my head against a wall until he could feel the bone. She also said there was absolutely NO CHANCE of EVER avoiding my beating, and that it was MY fault that I wanted to have some entertainment on the bus(Seriously, WTF?). After she left my room, I laid down in bed and thought about my situation. I now have NOTHING to look forward to. Thanksgiving is going to be another day avoiding my dad, and Christmas is going to be the magical day. The magical day that he's going to ask about my iPod. The day when I have to tell him it was stolen, and the day I basically DIE. There is not going to be a single birthday(Birthday's the 17th of December) or Christmas gift with my name on it. If there is, my dad will take it and give it to my greedy little brother

This is basically why I haven't been here at all. I'm scared out of my damn mind, and I know that in a few weeks, my life is going to come to an end. So I might as well say this now..

Goodbye.

Alot's been going on, which has restricted my time on dA. School had overwhelmed me until last Thursday, when I was finally free! 8D. Since then, i've been playing DDR for a while

Oh, did I forget to mention that I've gotten into DDR? Yep, a few weeks ago I bought two pads and the newest edition of the game, DDR Supernova. I've played for over forty hours after a week of rest(this game takes it out of you ;_. It's really fun. If you need a game that gets you off your feet and lets you have loads of fun, DDR is for you.

I might as well mention that I am focusing alot of my time on photoshop. I am determined to become skilled with it, since it wasn't a small investment. I don't care what it takes, i WILL learn how to use Photoshop as well as I can.
Also, an old friend of mine, :icongenulance:and I have started up an advanced GFX forum, Locked Forest Designs. It can be found here.
[link]

So that's all for this journal. Sorry for not being around as much, but I'll try to log on here more often! ;D

I recently saw a package addressed to me, and i stare at it whenever I can.
This is also going to be my first christmas on the old dA. I can't wait till this week is over X3 . Also, my birthday was yesterday, but only three people came to the party. We have bags of chips and soda to spare <_<

So, if you see my msn, i have a countdown to Christmas as my text. It's been up for ..18 days now, and it seems as it's finally going to serve useful.

There was one thing i wanted to say as well, but its a SEEEEEEEECRET. So you'll just have to wait. Nyah!

I can't wait to see all the Christmas inspired art that will come out of this site.

And that's all

So, ill try to scan some in, digitally outline it, color it, shade it and put it up here on the old DA

so, i'm done.

So, i need to get back to this hobby. Some people actually admire my game making "skills" XD. But I havent given one demo of my work. at ALL. So, my recent aubmissions will be some of my work. I cant stand to look at the same deviations for so logn O.O.

Does anyone have an idea for a minigame they'd like to see? I may be able to make it. So ..just comment here if you want me to make a minigame.


MINIGAME NUMBER ONE:
Street Racing:
Yeah, this has been done alot, but im going to take a crack at it and try to add a special touch to it. Im almost done with the sprites, and should begin programming soon

So, im done journal-ing. Ill shut up now XD

]]> ~MechaBandicoot http://MechaBandicoot.deviantart.com/journal/10780325/ http://MechaBandicoot.deviantart.com/journal/10780325/ Sun, 19 Nov 2006 16:49:05 PST .

Well, i thought this weekend would be the same. TV and friends. Well, I was actually wrong. My parents got invited to my uncles birthday party, and i was going as well. I was excitted, since id see alot of my cousins.

Anywho, i got dressed and off we went. We got there, and i headed to the back yard XD. I dont like the smell of beer and wine in a home, and besides, all of my cousins were there. We started playing some tag and such. Meanwhile, my lazy litle brother went inside and glued his eyes to my PSP. MAIN, I TELLZ JOO! 4 TROO! Anyway, i just ignored the lazy blob, and kept on playing outside

it pretty much went like this until eleven pm, when we decided to play tag AGAIN. I was running from my cousin, and he neared me to a fence. He smashed me against the fence and completely twisted my leg. Whats worse, it was on concrete, so i got a huge gash on my knee. I seriously lost my ability to walk O.o. I had to roll(yes, ROLL) to a far off lawn chair for the rest of the night.

And today, the pain came BACK. I woke up, stood on the floor, and felt the BIGGEST PAIN IMAGINABLE. The twisted leg still hurt, and here i was standing straight. The gash hurt too, but i ignored it. Whats worse, today my parents decided to take us for a trip around the area, which involved miles of walking. OW. I had to hobble the whole walking time, and when i got back, i sat on my comp. chair and started typing this journal

I still cant walk at all, but its ok to me. I had a ton of fun yesterday running and playing with my cousins while my brother stared at a screen, and thats what makes this pain worth it

Now if youll excuse me, i gotta get a soda. This might take a while. Till then, bye byez for now!

Well, recently, ive been slow on the work. Wry, you ask? Simple, ive been refurbishing my forum. Teh name be Vee Gee Cee.

So yeah, VGC stands for Video Game Central. Before you jump to conclusions, i am NOT A noob when it comes to forums. My forum has actually been around for a year. It went through three versions, the first two meeting their demise

VGC V1: My first attempt, used image backrounds, was in the dark spam ages o.o. STATUS OF VGC V1: DELETE'D

VGC V2: My second and more successful attempt. I gained a small following, and all was running smoothly. However, recently it has slowed down, with two or less good threads, over 50 dead members, and shut down arcade. I guess you could call it a modern Dixie Square Mall 8D . STATUS OF VGC V2: PENDING DELETION

VGC V3: My third and newest version. I finished it up today, but it was built this monday 8B. Added lossa more stuff, like - New skin
- An automated money system
- Fully automatic stores, with options such as member name color, shadow, glow, and more!
- Weekly lotteries with purchaseable tickets!
- GFX Showdowns
- Game Maker Help
- Game Maker helpers
- GFX showcases
- GFX requests
- Graphic resource center, where you can find everything you need for your work
- DeviantArt section, where you can post your latest works
- Arcade
- Video game chat
- Possible jukebox
- Quality Video game reviews
- Section for old school gaming
- Weekly Online Competitions with prizes and awards!
- Latest Game Updates, to keep you up to date on the latest game news
- Talk about your favorite shows!
- quizzes about your favorite shows, games, and more!
So its running pretty smoothly, I guess. it still needs more members though :\

So lemme get right down to the links themselves
VGC V1: Baleted February 2006
VGC V2: [link] (I dont recommend looking at this thing)
VGC V3: [link]


So that about wraps it up. You guys can give it a quick glimpse if yo u want, or even join I just wanted to let you guys know what was slowing me down even more than the stuff in my "getting back up on my feet...".

So, Buh bye for now!

Ive been really slow these few weeks. I havent opened photoshop in a while, which isnt good. I really have to practice some more on it, since i have no new creations. My school grades have been slipping due to many things, mostly emotional stuff. I just cant pay attention in class, and im starting a C or two. O.o , and thats no good at all. My forum isnt really doing so well, and im going to try an entire revamp on it, which will hopefully work
Ive also been absorbed in emulators, which is NO GEWD. My time is getting more precious, and i really cant spend hours of it on a game. Im also out of practice on gamemaker, i havent used it for a week or two, which i must fix right away. and now, i sleep very bad nowadays, since I recently had one of the worst nightmares ive had in my life. Heres what i remember:


In the beginning, it was normal. My parents and I were at home, and my brother was vacationing in the fridge. Then one day, we went to my old middle school, and as we drove along, i saw gray lumps. I was in a car of course, but a closer look revealed them to be bloody bodies, and thats when my heart started pounding. We finally got home, and i was still nervous. I heard a scream coming from a block or so. I jumped out of my skin, and decided to stick by my parents. Then the purtiest thing you ever did see happened. My entire family decided to go out, and they decided that i was old enough to be left alone 8D. Of course, i begged to go, but they firmly refused. They closed the front door, and i was about to fall over in tears. But heres the thing. They hadnt gone through the front door, they went through the garage door. So somebody had gone through the front door. I saw my parents and brother walking to the car, they saw me, and shouted. I couldnt hear them, but i heard feet. I looked behind me, and i saw a maniacal creature too horrifying to describe running right at me. I was frustratingly trying to open the front door, but it was useless. I turned around, the creature ran right towards with me, bloody knife at hand, and then i woke up, screaming. It was only 2:30 AM. Shaking and covered in sweat, i closed my eyes to continue sleeping....

And know whats even worse? That nightmare happened on this halloween! 8D. And now, i look around me every five seconds, whenever im home alone.

But by far, the thing that has distracted me the most these days is something that affects nearly everybody. Love. I recently noticed a girl in my classes, and ive come to like her. Not as a friend, nope. I REALLY like her, but i cant get enough courage to do anything about it. Whenever i try it, my feet motor me away from her, and I get a butterfly feeling inside of me. Though i will not take action for a while, i dont wish to become like a certain Smaz 8D

so that ends my longest journal to date. talk to you later, all!

Yes, kids its Halloween! The time where you go around houses for mouth rotting candy! XD. My brother went this evening, and got a bucket full of candy. I was so jealous that i took his costume and went out. MWHAHHAHA.

Turns out that i got more candy than him XD. Most of the time i didnt have that accursed plastic mask on, since it killed my vision. Overall, the candy gethering was fun
When i got home, i recieved some pleasant news. My brother didnt want his candy! . So, he gave it to me, cept those coconut ones. Ew. This is my best "harvest" so far, since i have two overflowing buckets . Ive eaten so much chocolate, gum and lollipops that i think my teeth were ruined o.o. I had to brush all of it out, of course, since my teeth are one of the best physical things about me .
Sure, I barfed, and no doubt will have to run to the bathroom in the middle of the night. But hey, what does it matter when you had a great time and got lots of tooth rotting sweets?

So yeah, this be the end of this harro weenie journal. Till next year, Halloween Fans!

This all started out on a forum im registered in. I was reading gamemaker threads, searching through posts. When i suddenly see some jerk post a 3d screenshot of his "game". I wasnt fooled one bit, and i knew that he had just replaced the graphics With toned down versions HE MADE. Yet, everyone was fooled, and he was given credit for it. I caught him, and posted it on the thread, but guess what? Nobody cared!!!
I thought that was the end of that idiot. I was wrong. Just yesterday i was posting on crashmania, when i find a Halo fangame. Guess who made the thread? The guy who posted the 3d screenshot! So now he comes around saying hes been working on a halo game, and posts a screenshot of his work so far. Guess what it is? Yes, youre right! a SCREENSHOT FULL OF STOLEN SPRITES. The little wannabe took sprites from [link] and claimed it as progress in his game! BULL! Yet people were suprised, and some thought that it was actual progress!
And what is so intresting is that he has NEVER, repeat, NEVER, uploaded a demo of his work.

This just ticks me off, alot. I work hard on my project, people see it. some wannabe posts a fake screenshot, they are shocked at his "work"!. Its totally unfair for wannabes and theives taking all the credit from hard working people who put time in their work!

This be mecha, pissed off.

And onto that newsy stoiff. school photos are here, wee! Im gonna upload it here, just for kicks. Im also shortening my eenternet time. Theres a drill squad tryout that Im interested in, and I have to get better at my running, situps, pushups, etc.

Crash vs forums is going smoothly, and ive added two features

-Sound boards

He is correct, i had an EXACT same idea, only it was called Crash Mania Melee. Then, i found out about his idea. Then, a lightbulb lit up in my head. It hurt. Smaz could do the imaging part for CVF, and id do the programming! So, we decided to team up.

Before anyone starts, dont call me a noob on Game Maker. Ive used it for well over a year now, so i dont take a day to program a basic engine. However, what WILL give me a headache is the online compatibility. Yes, you heard right. CRASH VS FORUMS WILL HAVE ONLINE CAPABILITY. This will give me oh so many headaches, but the satisfaction of a good job is enough reward for me.
The demo will include, as Smaz the waffle boy said, HPZr, CHS, JB, and I in it. It will be small, and will only contain one arena. Needless to say, the collision detectoin system will be a pain to program, but mesa no care.

Some may think that the person who drew a bunch of sprites for a game deserves all the credit, but please, give some consideration to the people who worked their rears off getting those pwetty little drawings to actually DO something. I say this because i am actually one of those people who work their rears off making the pictures dance like little puppets! XD
PS: smaz, no offense about the last comment, im just stating that the programmers hardly recieve praise

Mecha out!, or some cheesy phrase like that... XD

Id appreciate if all zim fans possible could join, as i have many good things in future with it. I also have an invader zim game planned, and i want to make it with zim fans on the forum. I plan to have two moderators on it, which will help me in the forum.

It sucked, frankly.

On monday, i woke up late and had to run around the house getting ready for school. I left so fast, I forgot my lunch, WAAAAAAAAA

On tuesday, i showed my mom my intrem report. I got two C's and she went insane. she nearly took my computer, my internet, my tv, my PS2 and everything else that gave my life some meaning. OHNOEZ
Thankfully, she calmed down and i just got an hour long speech. T_T

Wednesday was a little bit better. But in my last class, some butthead kid was in charge of leading the whole class. What an idiot..

Thursday also got better, but it was such a boring day.. *yawn*

Then, all my troubles left me, FRYDAI. I expected the day to suck as most of my fridays do, and my beliefs didnt let me down. People were strangely grumpy yesterday, as they shoved everyone in their way, me included O.O

But i managed to get through friday in one piece..i think. Im making the most of today and tommorow, knowing that i have to go back to school on monday. NOOOOOOOOOOOEZ.

Well, now that im back from an internet-less summer, Crystal of ice progress is starting up soon! If youre lucky, expect an end of the year release

For all of you that dont know what crystal of ice is, its a Crash game being desinged and programmed by JumpButton and I. It will feature 7 characters, colored gems, secret areas, alternate game paths, and many unique bosses! It also features an online scoreboard that uploads your game statistics to the net, and the top scorer will recieve a prize!

Buh bye for now!
