New mod kits are always exciting to discover. I just started learning how to use Skyrim's Creation Kit. With such a great supply of learning resources, I feel like the old days of learning how to mod for UT99. The above image is a screen of my first attempt at "creating" something.
Dungeon crawling in Skyrim was great fun for me. I decided to play around and build my own dungeon. What you see here is the beginnings of my first dungeon. While creating this i hit upon an awesome idea for a mini story arc revolving around Sheogorath. Stay tuned for more.
DM-Malevolence for UT99 was one of my favourite levels which I ported to UT3. After getting about 90% of the way my hard drive died and I lost the level. I had given up until a fellow fan asked me to try again. Because he asked so nice I decided to get back on it...
I was asked by my Design Lead to write a post about how I planned to bring Duke Nukem's classic level, Hollywood Holocaust, to life with current gen technology without ruining the original layout. I tackled the problem by imagining 3DRelms having access to today's tech...

Am an avid fan of TV and Movies. I'm a sucker for anything Science Fiction and Fantasy.
My favourites are anything by Fincher or Nolan, Firefly, Stargate, Solaris, Inception, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (original trilogy), Aliens, Predator(s). Sadly the Alien Vs Predator series did not live up to my expectations. They should never have been set on earth in the present.
The only music I used to listen to were orchestral scores and movie soundtracks. In my tape/CD collection you'd likely sumble upon, Clint Mansell, Hanz Zimmer, John Williams and the like. That all changed in my final year of High School...
My Friend was listening to the Deftones on his discman. After listening to "My Own Summer". I fell in love! Now-a-days I'll listen to anything!
Below are some books which I'd recommend to anyone interested in a good read:
Kane And Able (Jeffrey Archer), Enders Game (Orson Scott Card), The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins), The Code Book (Simon Singh), The Thrawn Trilogy (Timothy Zhan), Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury), The City And The Stars (Arthur C. Clarke), Foundation Series (Isaac Asimov).
I'll never forget my first multiplayer experience: 8 way free-for-all "Marathon 2" sessions during lunch break in high school.
From that point I was hooked on computers and gaming. Playing everything from Dune to Doom. Games which have stood out for one reason or another include: F.E.A.R., Marathon Series, Halo series, Skyrim, Batman Arkham Asylum, Quake, Unreal Tournament series, Team Fortress,
