*caution* *bragging Mom thread*

[texasmom]

My sons (10 & 12 at the time) made a cool map for the Halo X-box livegame, making it look like a D-Day beach (I think they called it storming the beach).  They made it for themselves, so they could make a video of themselves storming the beach.  I guess once you load it into the live-thingie other people can play it as well.

Anyhow, I met someone today who's played it & loved it. So that was cool to meet someone who remembered playing the map & liked it.  Anyhow, no point, just bragging.

Not when it comes to their children.  Unless they have attended juvi, or cost their little league team the championship by being the last batter and striking out when the bases are loaded.

BTW texasmom, nice to hear your children putting some creativity into that FPS; you learned them well.

That is really cool.  Do they still make them?  Building maps/skinning and creating mods is a great way to break into the gaming industry.

They made the storming the beach map to make a video themselves mimicking the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan with their little halo men.  It really looked incredible when they were done with that.   I told them they should do the same thing with all of their other favorite movie scenes (all war movies), they haven't done it yet.  I'm supposed to get some device to allow them to transfer their saved clips from the xbox to the computer & get a program that allows them to edit, add music, voice overs, or whatever. I haven't even looked yet to find out what that program/thing is though.

Usually they're on their bike or in the pool for the summer, so they haven't made any more maps, other than goofing off.  They sometimes take one of the warehouse buildings & turn it into homes, fully divided with rooms, makeshift furniture, etc.  Then they 'lounge' around watching the 'big screen tv' or whatever.  The rest of the time they spend trying to find glitches in the games.  It's fun to watch them goof off with those.

I've always wanted to creat a map of my own for a game. I'm trying to learn how to use the program to make one for "Killing Floors".

It's ok Dux, we're proud of ya anyways.
Only games I can make maps on are games from 1995-1998, they get too complicated anymore.

I did one of these things, and it did not involve juvi. 

I was always better at defense anyway    

I think my mom still loved me...possibly.

Would it help if I imitate her?

[Dago]

I bet she carries a print of the map in her purse to show people!
