Well. I got back today from my trip to Unreal University and to be frank.. I feel educated. I drove there along with a friend of mine, who picked me up in Indiana on his way from Minnesota and other than getting lost in the Appalachian Mountains for 3 hours and being incredibly tired after the trip it wasn't a bad journey. I attended some of the tutorials on the first day, mostly level design stuff, because I am not going to kid myself about my ability to program, I felt that I learn a thing or two about UnrealED tho I do have experience from the old days of Unreal. The real reason for me to go to Unreal University tho was just to meet all the people involved. I feel a deep love *thats right, I'm not affraid to admit it" for the Unreal community as a whole and I felt compelled to attend for that reason. Oh, and playing UT2k4 doesn't hurt either. Speaking of UT2k4 the game was looking awesome. Other than the mildy annoying voice synthesis that relays everything said into MSagent voice synth, which got annoying when people spammed things like dodododododod or other incoherencies like the
(colon p) that CliffyB mentioned during the roundtable. Speaking of the roundtable it was rather a highlight of my two days there as everyone got to ask Epic questions. Which was great. I would like to thank, Epic, Scion, Atari, AMD, Nvidia and of course NC state for putting on this excellant shindig and I hope to see more like it in the future.
