Well, the Halo 2 tournament was canceled and rescheduled for July 30th. As it turns out, it might be 4 vs 4, in which case we won't enter. Hopefully we'll be able to enter next weekend. It's a shame, we were hoping to use the prize money to help pay for a XBox 360.

I suppose I have to start writing the Blocky Man level editor *groan*. Well, I should just get it over with so I can move on to...you know...actually making the game. I also have to still order that Managed DirectX book, but that's something else entirely.

So, since I don't really have anything development related yet, I'll put some other stuff.

I'm currently reading the whole series of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" books. I just finished "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". They are really interesting and funny books. I don't usually read novels in my spare time, but these are good enough to keep me reading for hours.

Am I the only one who listens to old video game midis while programming? I've been collecting a list of my favorite video game songs, and putting them in a Windows Media Player playlist. Here is what I have so far:

Ice Cap Zone - Sonic 3
Wily Fortress 1 remix - Megaman 2
Hikari no Willpower - Dragonball GT: Final Bout
Awakening road - Megaman X
Sky Sanctuary - Sonic & Knuckles
Collapsed City - Onimusha Blade warriors
Another World - Chrono Cross
Battle - Gundam F91
Boss battle - Final Fantasy 9
Fisherman's Horizon - Final Fantasy 8
Heavy Arms - Gundam Wing
Wily Fortress 1 - Megaman 2
Storm Eagle - Megaman X
River stage - Marvel vs Capcom 2
Roll - Marvel vs Capcom
Stage 1 - Streets of Rage 2
Spark Mandrill - Megaman X
Opening Stage - Megaman 8
Chemical Plant Zone - Sonic 2
Flying Battery Zone - Sonic & Knuckles

I have to find out where I can buy mp3 video game songs.
