About Me:
I'm 19 years old, and a sohomore at the University of Puget Sound, in Tacoma. I got into Unreal Tournament during the summer of '05. Anyways, Im an undeclared Computer Science major. Funny, because UPS is a liberal arts school. I thought that it would be a good idea to go into the CSCI field with some background in other stuff, too.
I have always wondered how programmers created the beautiful 3D world we see in video games. I got started programming with QBasic for DOS when I was about 12 (Because Object Oriented programming was way to advanced a concept for my 12 year old brain to grasp). Unfortunatly, this made it very difficult for me to pick up Object Oriented programmming later on, because I was trying to think about Objects and classes in terms of Procedural subroutines. Of course, it didn't help that I also started learning assembly language (see below). Anyways, I think that conceptually, modern video games, like UT, cannot be understood through procedural concepts. I nearly had a heart attack when I first looked at some UnrealScript, and tried to understand it with procedural concepts. 
Now that I'm in college, and taking computer science classes (which I've got to be at in about 1/2 an hour) I finally understand Object Oriented programming. Yes! I am now housebroken of all the old school procedural Basic crap that I've been mired in for years!
However, every time I start editing some UScript, I slowly become more frustrated with Java. Why can't Java do some of the stuff that UScript can do???
Mapping/Modding for UT:
Also, and probably the most interesting of all of these, I've got a concept for a CTF map. see Map Ideas/CTF-Sentinel
Discussion
SuperApe: Hi, Bob. I've disabled the Category Category tag, as that should only be used to tag Category Pages. This is a Category Personal Page; nothing more.
Solid Snake: Nothing wrong with using ASM, but even so it's pretty hard to get into without some formal training.
Bob_The_Beheader: I'm going to be taking an ASM class this sememster
