3/2 Personal Reflection

Write about a time that your pride had negative consequences (or related to that, your inablity to forgive). You can also write about someone else or write about pride in another book.

How was your pride, or the other person's, similiar or different to that of Achilles?

Well, in honor of the release of the demo of Eternity's End, I shall share with you all a little story about the troubles us game developers go through to keep you entertained. However, in order to avoid pointing fingers, I shall use the online names we use down at the EE forums. Gather round, children!

So, Neelpos and I were sitting around his laptop, and playing Need for Speed: Carbon (A game about illegal racing). He was in the middle of a pursuit, and doing pretty good. In passing, I told him about my infamous hour-long pursuit in Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Julian took it as a challenge, and devoted a large amount of his computer time trying to beat my record (He even bought Most Wanted in order to match the circumstances of my pursuit!). Because of this, he began to ignore his duty as spritist for a rather long amount of time. He even began to send me messages saying that he would not work on them until he beat me. Seeing how he was trying to beat a past record of mine, there was nothing I could do except try to get a new spritist until he either defeated me, or gave up.

Eventually, the good man gave up, and all in the world was right once more.

I am curious... Is this how Agamemnon felt when Achilles abandoned him? His best soldier abandoned him to try to prove a point, and because of that, he could not make any progress in the task at hand. My best and (at the time) only spritist abandoned me to try to prove a point, and I could not make any progress in the task at hand.

Alas, though, it seems all stories must come to a happy ending sooner or later! My only regret is that, in my case, it wasn't sooner!

END OF LINE. Now, as always, here's the latest going ons with Clan Darkterror Productions: First and foremost, WE FINALLY GOT THE DEMO UP. REVEL IN IT'S GLORY. Once you are done enjoying that, be a pal and Help us finish the whole game, so that you may enjoy it too!(Better do it fast, though, because the main characters are being taken up rather quick! If you wait too long, you might end up as one of the generic NPCs!) And while your at it, see what we're up to At the new Eternity's End devlog!
