Years ago I was making a Pokemon Online game. After a long time in development, I cancelled the project, because I didn't want to waste any more time working on it, since it was using copyrighted material, and Nintendo would have shut it down as soon as it went online.
I actually got far enough along to have a private online beta test with about 11 people. The graphics were highly revised versions of the gameboy graphics, and there was quite a large fanbase supporting the game. Sadly, it never made it public, but I still have all of the work I did on it stored away on some CDs.
ANYWAY, about my computer being on. You waste less energy leaving your computer running, then you do by turning it on and off. I rarely ever turn off my computer, so the energy is consistent. The energy bill isn't sky high, because I turn off lights in my house when they aren't in use, and do all that other energy saving stuff.
It's not impossible to live on a tight income yet manage to have a cable internet connection. The house I live in is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house, with a guest room thingy that we turned into a living room, and a living room that we turned into my sisters room. Being "spoiled" would be getting new video games every week, new clothes every week, always having food in the house, etc. Anyway, this has gone way off topic. :| |
