    Well, not really goodbye forever. Today in the mail I recieved my acceptance letter from USD (university of san diego), I haven't really been saying much about it, but for the past year or so I have been trying to get back into school to finish my architecture degree that I started 2 years ago before I dropped out to work in the game industry. Also, this will allow me to live back at home with the people I love. In a few months I will be moving back home and working on my degree full time, and I probably wont have much time do to anything internet or game related, since I will be in the studio most of the time. I thought the game industry would be for me, but after these few years I have realized that my real passion lies in drawing perspective sketches and building cardboard models. Thanks to everyone at mapcore who has been around to bullshit with me over the years. I guess this marks my second retirement from level design, your truly an old school friend if you remember the first

    I hope this isn't an April fools joke, if so it ain't funny. But anways, if it is true. I'll say my bit.

    I may not be old school, but it was cool talking to ya for the time that I did see you in the core. Goodluck, being with loved ones seems to be a major theme in my life lately.

    yea so i also have decided to abandon game design. the fame and fortune was too heavy and even when i was at my peak i was addicted to smack....sometime in the next 4 years maybe someone will be able to capture a portion of my genius (mazy seems close) BEST OF LUCK
