Paper Prototyping. AKA more wasted time

If you have not found out by now that I am a very vocal and opinionated person your about to. I hate how slow this system is, I joined this class because I wanted to learn how to use flash. Not to jump through the hoops for some guys in new york. I haven't learned anything, I've just wasted my time on "paper prototypes" and "Learning Logs" and in particular "Imagining your game"

Well I say enough prepearation. Let's do something for once.

This needless complicated, overly inflated crap is not teaching us anything. Yes we may have a better game product by the end of it, but will we be able to execute our ideas without the software knowledge? An hour and a half a day isn't as much time as you would think and with that lack of resources available to use thanks to the school's incessant filtering... 95% of us still know nothing about the program we're working with.

We've only opened the program once for any purpose. I don't know anymore than extremly basic movement commands. Not enough.

I may seem like a negative nancy, that's because I am. I'm just sick of jumping through hoops, i'd rather just take a class in flash techniques then this sort of work.

Gah.

I am in a foul mood today for no particular reason but it gives me an excuse to complain about this silly class. We never seem to actually accomplish anything and it frustrates me, I feel we should be familiarizing ourselves with flash but we are still seemingly doing useless things to elaborate wheat we are doing.

This is nice to a degree of course, you need to know what your doing before your doing it but it's rather tiresome after a whole semester of nothing but preparation. I'm just sick of all this paper proto-typing and choosing a topic, I am under the impression everything would be a lot more creative and less tedious and nerve-wracking. Honestly this class feels like "fart around on the computer time" not any sort of class work.

I'm frustrated with everything right now, I have a burn blister on my lip so I can't play, my "subordinates" have surpassed me, I haven't had a social encounter with anyone throughout most of the day and I'm in the middle of a rather blah day.

Regardless I'll mess with flash some, likely get angry and throw something, then stomp off and again have accomplished nothing.
