I was working with Unity for the better part of yesterday. Hours on end, forgoing food and rest.
At about three o’clock I woke up seriously pondering wether there was a script attached to my bed.
Even as I said to myself “there are no scripts attached to anything in real life”, the question lingered on. “There must be some script governing my sleep, I should open it in Unitron.”
It was really surreal.
Kinda funny too, so that’s why I shared it.
You’re not alone - I’ve been having nightmares about being unable to bring down the polygon count of my son! I swear - there was triangles everywhere…
Damn, i seem to be mentaly stable…
This is too bad… i wish could push some “real” polys according to my needs… 
in tenth grade i made a single level in max payne (power to the max 
) for a school project explaining the proces of creating a game and how to become a game creator, i sat up for a weekend just modeling and modeling i think i managed to get 3 hours of sleep that weekend, but i managed to model my whole school … except for the second floor of 3… i honestly managed to forget it… (which was kinda lucky as i had to resize the whole thing as i had forgotten to check how tall max payne is… seriously, that bloke is about 2,3 meters tall, and more then a meter wide… )
after my 40-50 hour streak of modeling i was seing everything in polygons, honestly stuff even had a wireframe, it was wierd in a kinda cool sureal way =P
Im just amazed by the rendering power of my eyeballs, and when going for walks wonder how to recreate all the shrubs and unique textures that pass by, the alpha channels of the powerlines with the birds preening their wings due to the change material script…
Everyday that passes it seems more possible that we’re living in a “Matrix”, and somewhere theres a big grunty mac driving it all…Perhaps its possible with “layered” Unity engines…

I’ve felt very similar effects, but also, when I was a kid and me and my family was driving somewhere I could think wow, that’s some cool parallax scrolling 
That’s freaky, and right up my alley I have so many weird dreams about texturing environments and trying to somehow preserve the “performance rate” of my surroundings before it breaks down into glitchy pixels. I of course like most 3D artists walk around looking at objects and picture how to best break them down into their components ( polygons, textures, and lights) and that definitely seeps into your subconscious, but nothing screws up your dreams more than a heavy session of scripting. I’ve had dreams where situations would crash or dissolve because I couldn’t script them fast enough. The weirdest dream I’ve had like this is when I was really into Max/MSP (a visual programming environment where you link snippets of code together with lines simular to patch cords in analog modular synthesis). In the dream I was going around trying to patch these cords into people’s heads and attaching them to their surrounding objects in a desperate attempt to try and keep them conscious and talking to me so I wouldn’t be left alone.
Cool thread WarpedAxiom
sometimes i have to remind myself that there’s no real world “undo” ; )
And what a shame it is.
I’m aggrieved that there isn’t already.
I was out walking with a friend yesterday. He was telling me a lengthy story about his weekend, when a new romantic interest had visited him. He told me he was going to do a “memento”-thing with the story, and told me right away, that for a number of reasons, they didn’t have sex. My response came somewhat mechanic
“var hadSex = false;”
About the world being as seen in matrix, about ten yers ago, I and some friends of mine had a series of jokes on the matter. Among which, this philosophical question: “If every person on the planet threw a brimful of sand up in the air, would the world crash?”
Nah, but it would probably lag like a bitch.
A great quote I saw in somone’s sig line on another forum was “Go outside – the graphics are great!”
And it’s fast too!
I printed off some jokes a couple years ago that fit with this thread, I’ll type up the best ones…
“You might be a game developer if…”
When someone asks you what time it is and you reply “oh, 0000 1001 o’clock” you might be a game developer…
If something unexpected happens to you, and you momentarily think to your self, “I didn’t script that” you might be a game developer…
If you’ve ever woken up with your keyboard imprinted on your face, you might be a game developer…
If a beautiful girl tells you she’s done some modeling work in the past, and you ask her what 3D package she used, you might be a game developer…
If you are sitting in a bar and think to yourself, “nice texture map” as you look at the wood grain on the table, you might be a game developer…
If you own more toys than your children do, you might be a game developer…
If you can list beer, soda, comics, video games, and game magazines as tax deductions, you might be a game developer…
If the last time you drank pure water was 6 years ago, you might be a game developer…
If you’ve ever found youself in a bar studying cigarette smoke patterns rather than looking at the girls, you might be a game developer…
If you’ve ever looked outside at a brilliant sunset and thought, “nice graphics”, you might be a game developer…
If you find yourself watchin a fireworks display and thinking to yourself “I could do better than that”, you might be a game developer…
If you refer to soft drinks as “power-ups”, you might be a game developer…
Too true.

Ever try to command-z something stupid you do in real life? Or think copy/paste would be great for a repetitive real life task?
I do 
Peter
yep, ctrl+z for stuff with girls, copy/paste for jobs/school, and ctrl+alt+delete for getting up in the morning
reminds me of the first time i played GTA III extensively… then just after, went for a drive and I can tell you it was a surreal experience!
Thankfully, I do not drive myself :lol:
