CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Hey! I'm Tal, and am (quite obviously) new here...

Not much else to say right now, really... I'm gonna go browse the forums for a bit.

In the meantime, watch the dancing banana.



/edit

Decided to put more about me now that I have time.

I'm a video game design major from Vermont, and enjoy anime a lot (or I wouldn't be here, would I?) I'm a sketch artist with some decent photoshoppery skills as well.

More to come, must get back to work!

Hello and a very warm welcome to you, Tal. I hope you enjoy it here. ^_^
Do you have any favorite anime/manga titles?

*Is mezmorized (sp) by the dancing bananana*

O hay there new comer ^^ Hope you're having fun ^^ Just be careful of those who might bite

Just kidding.. or am I o.O?

There's alot to do here, so don't be afraid to jump right in ^^ Hope to see you around

*added more info above*

FullMetal Alchemist and FLCL are probably my two favorite anime... manga I haven't really had time to delve into much lately, so I dunno.

Having fun so far!

Awww, that's cool ^^ I'm sure you'll fit in perfectly here FMA and FLCL are both very good animes ^^ FMA has the good mix of seriousness and silliness. While FLCL.. that's just straight up comedy for ya

Yea, this place seems pretty awesome

I'm also in-and-out watching through Chrono Crusade and Gurren Laggan right now, when I can get time to.

Heyya Tal and welcome to the CAA! Video Game Design major that sounds like a fun/awesome thing to study in college. Hope to catch ya on the forum! ^__^

I like it It's a lot of work, though. I have loooooong hours spent on homework every week, usually 20-30 per week.

Ooh, Chrono Crusade.. I still have yet to finish that >_>; I liked it so far ^^ I think I left off on episode 5 or 6 I can't quite remember I've never seen Gurren Laggan, but has heard about it here and there ^^

Gurren is definitely worth it, I haven't gotten to the end yet but it's epic and dramatic, and definitely a good time.

I have all of Chrono, I may watch more tonight because I have tons of 3D modeling work to do

One anime I would love to finish up is "When They Cry" u_u Yes, it's not quite my kind of anime that I'm used to watching, but I really liked it ^^ I'm more into the romantic comedy (and action of course ), but this one is that disturbing/weird type It reminds me of Paranoia Agent

What genres are you into ^^

[color="DeepSkyBlue"]Cool...a video game design major. I want to major in that or 3D animation when I go to college. So yeah...welcome! Hope to see ya in the forums![/color]

Wow, college is like having a full time job, know how that feels, especially if you're working as well as attending classes. Make me some kick-butt games to play in the future!

Welcome to the Nuthouse!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay nuthouse! Insanity is my normal state of mind, so I should be fine.

hello and welcome to CAA. hope you find your time here enjoyable.

That sounds about right for this site.

It's normally induced by lack of sleep and an unnecessary amount of sugar and/or caffeine. That part is normally induced by 3D modeling homework. However, I have two monitors, and that means I can browse the web (read:here) while 'working' as well!

Wow...a video game design major person!:wow!: *poke* I like you!:hug: You amuse me ALMOST as much as the smilies! Almost. I wish you lots of fun with the awesome-ness that is CAA, and I hope you manage to get your homework done soon! *remembers* Oh crud, I had homework too, didn't I? *looks at clock* Oh well! *skips off*

Thanks! The problem is that the homework is never done. The day one project is due is the day another one starts, and this summer (which starts in 4 weeks) I have to make an entire game and plan another one to make in the fall. O_o.

Nevvvvvver finished, only sometimes in a state of allowable procrastination.

Still, glad to be here in the CAA, the only place that has both the C AND the A. And also the other A, but that seems to be a bonus.

Hello! A game designer! Awesome! You'll have to show us some of your art, too!

I will if I get time, I have major deadlines soon but I want to use less of my downtime for games and more for drawing before the end of the semester.

'ello there, welcome to CAA! I'm eternalprincess.
I hope your time here at CAA is enjoyable.

Don't be fooled. We have some . . .er, interesting individuals running around here.

I can't wait to see you around CAA! Feel free to PM me anytime.

I'd say welcome to the asylum, but it seems like you already are in one.

Welcome to the CAA Forums, Tal! I see you're already having fun, so I'll just wish you well as you're doing so.

Anyways, glad to have a game designer on board. You're living the dream I've had for many years now. I'd love to know more about what you do.

And sorry for posting so late... I could'a sworn I had already posted here! :

Game design is tough stuff. There aren't that many colleges or universities out there that offer a four-year bachelor's degree in it yet, though the number is growing. Unfortunately, most of the programs out there are regarded by the industry as poor. Our program seems to be doing a lot of things right, but there are, as with any program, issues as well.

It's intense stuff. Our program is divided into three different majors- Designers, Artists, and Programmers. I'm design, but while your major defines your focus you still have to take elements of all three.

Case in point: I'm currently bashing my head over the wall over 3D modeling. It's difficult, but the results are good if you put ridiculous amounts of time into it.

There are some classes that are exclusive to specific focuses (i.e. I had Player Driven Game Design last semester), as well as some that are cooperative between all three (Game Production 1, which I am currently working in).

The idea of the overall program is to give students the knowledge they need about how to make current-gen games and how the process generally works, so that they can get jobs in the industry. You get out of it what you put into it, and to really succeed in something like this it requires most of your free time. That doesn't make it sound very fun, but it's actually entirely worth it. I'm a Sophomore at the moment, almost a Junior, and the next two years I'm focusing on building a portfolio and making contacts so I can get my name out there and find a job.

Anything else in particular?

Hey and welcome ^^.

A game designer? Nice.

Heya there Tal and welcome to Christian Anime Alliance . Lol sorry I didn't get a chance to take the time to welcome you XD. Although I have seen you posting a lot in the "you're banned" thread. Fun thread btw .

Anyway I hope you're enjoying you're time here and God bless *huggles*.
