Welcome



I decided to start this blog so that I have something to look back on and remember - a diary of sorts. My memory is terrible. I forget the things that have shaped me in to who I am and so much great stuff has happened to me since 2011 started that I don't want that to be the case.

So, here we are. More of a personal thing really, but for those who wish to read a little bit about me, Kuk Sool, computer gaming and other random stuff, you are welcome to. Enjoy!

(Newer posts appear at the top, by the way. So please start at the bottom and work up ;) )

Tricks down the beach

Just finished my first trick session down the beach with a couple of guys from Kuk Sool.

It took a while for me to build up the courage to just throw myself, but once I did I was well away. We started with forward somersaults. Which I think I picked up relatively quickly, then moved on to assisted backwards somersaults, which are quite a bit harder.



After tiring myself out, stretching my abdominals more than they have ever been stretched and getting a LOT of sand in my eyes, it was time to head home for a nice hot bath!

I've always wanted to be able to flip and somersault and perform tricks like this and now I am actually well on my way to accomplishing a life long dream! Of course, I am still a way off yet, though.

Back to Wolves

I spent the last week or so in Wolverhampton to work at head office. I needed to familiarise myself with a new technique of processing the graphics for our games. It results in a very cool looking style reminiscent of the old analogue games.

I picked it up pretty quickly and the game was very close to being playable before I left yesterday, which was good. It is looking fantastic! I'm really pleased with the artwork and am glad that I was able to work on the project. Hopefully, I'll be able to work on more like this one in the future.
