Time for me to start this rusty engine. Expect talk of Nintendo and my pro66ies.
We'll start with the proggie side: I'm taking CS 2020 for the summer, so I'm getting lots of exposure to Java. It's a cool language, as far as syntax and portability are concerned, but it's just so dang SLOW! It's interesting that a course teaching algorithm efficiency should use such a bogged-down language. It takes more time to start the VM than to perform a quicksort. Until today the course has just been review of 2010, so the first two projects were about simple OOP concepts, but I've had to fish my brain for the trig I learned three years ago, in order to draw regular pentagons.
In other news, E3 has come and gone, but the Wii has got me psyched. I already have a DS and simply adore Metroid Prime Hunters and Tetris DS, but I can't wait for Red Steel and Twilight Princess. That's not to mention the fact that all of the best NES and SNES games will be available for download. I've never finished a single Square game, on any platform—they were always constrained to short sessions at friends' houses—so you can imagine that I'm itching to play Chrono Trigger again.
LATER EDIT: OK, well I've beaten FF Tactics Advance. I haven't finished it, per se; I've only completed around 175 of the 300 missions.
