JJ2 Water/Battle, MIP 2, Dhoom

Tuesday · 19 Oct 04 · 04:23 PM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: General

I have my MIP 2 presentation in about an hour from now.  I made the PPT for it yesterday (used the same design that I created for the MIP 1 PPT), sent it to my faculty guide Prof. Vidya Pratap today morning.  I came to the institute now so that I could take printouts of the slides, etc. and I am now in the Systems Lab.

After the presentation today I am going to watch Dhoom [Planet Bollywood Review] on CD.  It seems like a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to it.

Yesterday, in between working on the MIP 2 PPT, I was playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 on my computer.  So far, I have finished the first two episodes, "Formerly a Prince" and "Jazz in Time", currently playing "Flashback", and once I finish that, I've got the last episode to play, called "Funky Monkeys".  The game is pretty amazing and so far there are two standout levels in my opinion.  The first is "Victorian Secret" in the second episode, which impressed me with its colourful graphics that were in a very different style from the first episode levels.  And then, there was "Generic Water Level", which, unlike the name suggests, was quite extraordinary!  The level has sections taking place above water and underwater (the major part is underwater) — the underwater parts had superbly designed animation/graphic effects, and the way the controls felt when Jazz (I was playing as Jazz) was underwater were really great.

This afternoon, before coming here to the institute, I played a bit of Jazz 2 Party Mode (Multiplayer) on Kamal's computer.  We used the Local Splitscreen mode, and played a "Battle" map.  This was a lot of fun too.

Well, still 40 minutes to go for my presentation...

EDIT (18:48): My presentation just got over and it went well, both Prof. Vidya Pratap and Prof. R. C. Natarajan appreciated it.  For the next phase (MIP 3) I would be writing a case or teaching material, and I want to make a contribution to the Strategic HRM course here.  I would need to work on my case well enough though, to make it really good.
