Yeah, I'm in the army so there's not much progress. I worked on another demo game before joining the army but I ran out of time. The demo would've had all the weapons and a level where you fight on top of a moving train with cars and gunners driving on the side of the railroad. A month more and it would've been done. I guess I'll finish it when I get out of army in the summer. So you guys just have to wait.

We can wait. It's no problem. How is your army stint going?
See, that's why I'm not enlisting in the US Army, we're at war with Iraq and Afghanistan. I'd rather stay at home. Combat is fun in games, but I'm not the kind of guy to go into the real army
I wouldn't have gone to the army either if I hadn't had to. It was either the army or the jail. I picked the army.
Anyway, it's actually cool to get combat training. I mean, the actual training part is hard and tough and not-so-fun, but I can already see how I can make use of it. For example, it can help in writing the enemy AI. So far I've only been running, crawling and shooting in forests and places that are in the middle of nowhere, but eventually they'll teach me urban combat too. Now that's something I'm looking forward to.
Destron... He hasn't done anything. It's Conscription ("National service" like they used to have in Britain and America during the war years and up to about 1960) It's the law, if you refuse to go in the armed forces you are sent to jail, that is the choice "Army or prison" not a lot of difference really. Fortunately for him Finland is a peaceful country so his tasks are more likely to be humane tasks like cleaning up after disasters and such like.
