Waiting
A week or so ago I posted about how we’re in crunch again. Well, it kind of seems like we’re not, because we’ve pretty much finished everything apart from the translations and a few outstanding bugs. It doesn’t make much sense to fix the bugs that are left before we do the translations, and we can’t do the translations because… we haven’t got the localisation kits back from our publisher’s translators yet.
So I’m sitting at my desk on a rainy, disgusting British “summer’s” day, and I don’t have a whole hell of a lot to do. I can’t bring myself to work on another game because, well, what I’m doing right now is Determinance and shifting tracks like that is something I find pretty much impossible. I can’t drink beer (don’t tempt me) because it’s too early and I’m playing tennis later. My car is at the mechanic’s so I can’t drive to see a movie. There’s nothing on TV and the aforementioned rain means I can’t even walk around like a crazy person listening to Scooter. Well… I’m probably going to end up doing that.
I even reinstalled NFL Head Coach 2006, but I couldn’t get my headset to control plays in the game (shouting “BLUE TWENTY FOUR HUT” had no efffect except to make my cat meow) so I switched it off.
It’s just difficult to get motivated about anything when what I really want to do is be getting on with putting the localisations in.

One Response to “Waiting”

Today, I slept a lot, caught up on my invoices watched part of a Bruce Boxleitner movie, booked a bunch of flights, tried to figure out what the *hell* is wrong with one of my MIDI controllers (I couldn’t) and phoned my girlfriend. Apart from eating, that was literally everything I accomplished today. This really is the most exciting period.
Translation implementation is one of the most boring things ever in the whole universe – I can’t believe I actually WANT to be doing it, but actually, there’s nothing I’d rather do right now.
