Definitely got lots to say...
First of all, quite recently, I was seriously ill with Bacterial Pneumonia. I came close to dying, and spent 3 weeks in the hospital. I'm almost completely recovered now, thank god, but it gave me quite a scare.
On the subject of the game Super Smash Brothers MX, that idea is tossed away, for Cleod9 is making Super Smash Flash 2 at http://www.mcleodgaming.com and it appears to be far out of my league. That, combined with the fact that I don't want to seem like a copycat, have thrown away the idea... almost. I'm still going to make a game with all kinds of different characters, but the type of game is going to be... an RPG. Turn based, obviously. The name: OMG WTF RPG (Oh-my-god-what-the-f***-role-playing-game). I'm going to add alot more humorous elements than I was originally intending, and all my ideas have to be re-worked.
As for my education, it starts (hopefully) next summer, and once i get learning how to make games, I'll try to get started on a working beta version of OMG WTF RPG.
Drop a line on the forums!

Made some site updates... and just so you know, the smash brothers project is still underway... not much progress has been made as of yet, but we still have until the end of this year.
In other news, there is a possibility floating around with letting our Halo CE server become a split server with HMC--one of the major Halo PC/CE clans on the net. Like I said, this is just an offer i've let float past HMC clan leader leoht's ears... I'm currently awaiting the Clan's official word.

Hello, and happy belated new year! Big news for Randomations--We're going to be making our first map for Halo CE! Right now I'm in the midst of learning some tutorials and such, having just gotten everything working the way it's supposed to.
Now, in the forums, there is a section on Halo CE maps added to the Randomations category. You may or may not have noticed a project that was dropped... *ahem* it's because I get ahead of myself. Now, members of the forum will have recieved an email alerting them to this wonderful project of Randomations, and those of you who would like to work on the first map are more than welcome. Though, you must please join the forums....

Hey guys, the first update in a long time. Just to let you know, I'm plugging away at learning C++, an important programming language in game design. I am also considering doing the game in C++ rather than Flash, as doing the game by scratch lets me customize everything to my own specifications. Alot more customizations will be able to be implemented this way.
In other news, I will hopefully be attending the International Academy of Design and Technology as of this July (I HOPE.) There I will start learning expert skills of the trade. Randomations might really be the next big videogame company one day!
Last but not least is the comic, WWIII: Last Testament. I am currently working on it, but seeing as I start my job this week, I might only be able to churn out maybe a page or two a week. But I will make sure I have a complete chapter to post for the first time. I have the title page done, and the first comic page. There are a few pages I have to do on the computer... And then, theres the whole point of trying to find a scanner. I'll be buying my own in the next few months (maybe even this month after christmas) or I can ask my friend to do it for me, the cute anime addicted friend of mine... lol.
Anyways, a happy holidays to all.

As part of the trial and error experience, I am working on an animated short, the first episode of what I hope will be a series. It's called Prayers, and follows a group of characters in the year 2052, twenty two years after the first noticeable signs of Humankind's evolution showed through. Now, in 2052, Humans have learned to control Micromagicatopes, or magic for short. Essentially, humans with the evolved genetics can actually use magic.
Though, in the series, there's none of that hocus pocus stuff like in Harry Potter. It resembles Xmen alot, where people with the evolved genetics have to register and let the government know what kind of abilities they have.
Everyone with this evolved genetic code has the ability to control their magica, but as a person grows up their magica takes on a certain element, represented by a color on the Micromagicatope Test Module, which tests a person to see if they have the evolved genetic code or not and what 'element' they've leaned towards.

Okay, although this is the second update in one day, I've added a link for the trailer in the videos section. Also, I encourage you to tour the site, looking at every page. No one seems to want to venture into other parts of my site for some reason.

A trailer is now available for the Super Flash Brothers MX game, click the following link to see it:
http://www.freewebs.com/mrgruntsworthy/Super Flash Brothers MX trailer.swf
This was one of my first ventures into buttons and preloaders, so excuse me if it's a little off. A longer, funner trailer might be released in the near future, but for now you'll have to make do with this. Does it make you interested?
