I've officially finished Uni for the year save for a few small reflective hand-ins; I also managed to scrape a pass in maths, so that means I don't have to waste a couple of weeks revising like a petrified chimp.

What does this mean? Well it means I'm back working on FF a whole lot more. In the last few days I've been playing a lot of games and relaxing, but now it's time to grab FF by the scruff of the neck and get moving again. My first goal will be to finish push using blunkka's textures and the prop stuff that decs, omen and I have been working on :) I'll then tidy up bases and move on to new maps, or perhaps give a helping hand elsewhere when required. The troops are returning (mirv is back, which is a huge boost) in a steady fashion and now it's time to try and wrap this thing up.

Fasten your seatbelts, chimps.

I'll round off this dev journal with some Karl Pilkington quotes. The guy is either a superb comedic straight man, or the most inadvertantly amusing man to open his mouth. If you haven't checked out the Ricky Gervais podcasts, do so. You can find the old, free Guardian stuff flying around on various websites and torrents. I realise it's in vogue to hate RG these days (the simpsons episode was crap) but the podcasts are really, really good entertainment.

"He had some dogs and that, and he hit them on the head with a stick. Pointless."
- Karl's version of Pavlov's dogs

"Don't be chuckin' stuff about, if you're surrounded by glass an' what have you."
Karl's not terribly accurate interpretation of the popular saying, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

"They go from building to building, just building."
Karl's terribly accurate description of builders.

"Stay green, stay in the woods, and stay safe."
Karl on chameleons (he thinks they are showing off, and that if they were to stay put they wouldn't need to change colour).

"Treat the world like a head"
Karl on global warming.
