Err.. New Member, but anyway, I'm a new member here, and wanted to make an announcement. Some info about me, I started looking at this forum about 6 months ago, and was real into it, but then because of business I got distracted, and have been away for about a month. My name is Mene-Mene because that is the first two words in the writing on the wall, and also because their meaning is very game like. Which means that your days are numbered, and your kingdom is about to be lost basically. I am a Game programmer (Duh) and have made 2 full games. I like SW alot, and have written 3 of my games about it. I started programming in December of '04, but "Much to learn I still have". I program in BB, and B3d, only demo's sadly. I am younger than most if not all of the people I've seen on this forum. That's all I got for you today. MM |

So, you like star wars? didn't know there was a Star Wars Forum. Sweet! ------------------ |

Welcome Mene-Mene, I've been around a while, not as long as some of the old phogeys here. I personally know very little coding, I'm here for the discussion and to help people out with projects if I can. I also am a fervent SW fan, lol, but I prefer the old movies, 4-6. Well, that's all from me. BTW, I am not in the 11-17 Age range, lol, they don't allow people that young at college. ------------------ Blind belief is dangerous. - Kenyan Proverb Computers are useless.

quote: It was lousy, but thanks for asking. I came out of it a millionaire though, and enjoying my old age. This guy once asked me about how I got all my money, so I gave him this narrative in the third person. It explains things. A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money. The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel." "I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents." "The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37." "Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars." So now you know. |

If I could, I would either close, or delete this thread, now all its doing is being spammed.

crazyish one: She doesn't really go out of her way, but when no other transport is available (aka. Mama, and Papa) she is "told" to drive me there. Sometimes if she is going somewhere, I'll ask to come along, and sometimes she'll let me. We have a good relationship overall. But she doesn't really drive me to the mall if I want to go to the mall.
Max: Wow, thats nice of you. How many siblings do you have? ------------------ |
