    MLP: The Movie, One Week Later

    Long time no blog! :twilightoops:

    So, I have been reserving my 100th blog post for something special. However, with my latest two Thoughts blog posts stalled for the past two years, I’m posting something else. So, time for some thoughts on My Little Pony: The Movie!

    Thoughts: On Names: Design

    Whew! It has been quite a while since the last Thoughts blog. The Ponies on Earth blog is currently going nowhere because I am blocked on the topic and I am still reorganizing my thoughts… for the past one and a half years. Plus, I have all these story ideas swarming my head, snarling all my writings to a crawl. Not to mention my day job robbing most of my free time but I am doing my best

    Post: MMDG contest entry up

    News
    The More Most Dangerous Game contest deadline ended over a couple of hours ago and I barely submitted the thing in time. Final rush of 18 hours of almost non-stop writing and I managed almost 2.5k words (17 words below the minimum word limit, I hope EqD doesn't disqualify my entry =s).

    The More Most Dangerous Game contest

    So recently our Great Beardlord Obselescence started a new The Most Dangerous Game™ contest. Now with more Equestria Daily! Of course, I'm going to enter once again this time. The writing rules are the same as last time (mostly):

So I've been quiet lately... · 4:27pm Dec 30th, 2014

So yeah, I haven't posted a single blog since July. Many things have happened since then, including finally graduating from DigiPen (whoo). I'm currently looking for a job as a game programmer, with two interviews lined up, one of which is Ubisoft. Maybe in the future you guys will be cursing me for all the bugs in one of the future Assassin's Creed game. Maybe.

Also, I'll be off starting 1st Jan to 4th Jan for my graduation trip in Hong Kong. Hopefully fun times would be had. :3

As for the writing front, I'm in some kind of a deadlock between all my existing stories and ideas I keep coming up with and writing had slowed to snails pace. ... I really should get back on Of Sunshine and Laughter, because I've been putting chapter 5 for the longest time. >_> I know what I want for the chapter but I kept having troubles with boring scenes, on top of a couple of issues I need to work out.

I'm still sending entries to the monthly Writeoff contests from The Writeoff Association and I have a couple of stories (at least) on rewrite that may end up on fimfic... eventually (specifically the Anthology of Chaos and Harmony). When I finish the rewrites.

That's all for now, I guess.

See you all soon.

You're never too old to join. I've seen a guy in his 50s taking a Master's degree when I was on my student exchange at the DigiPen US campus. =x

It's still halfway across the country, which was what stopped me back when I was college aged. :B Well, that and you definitely couldn't do anything with a video games degree back then. Nowadays, I'd like to think that's changed...

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that other countries are much, much bigger than mine. =x

Well, you definitely have the money and the transportation to move to Redmond, WA now compared to when you're college aged. :3
