I guess I'll start a convention of making these yearly - it seems an appropriate time to update this "about" page:
Since the last update, I have turned 25, gotten a raise from Koei, and finished my first commercial video game.
I've started to play more video games, and actually finish them - and it feels good!
Also, it's been a while since I upgraded my computer systems... so I feel that urge, poking at my wallet again... but I hope to put that off at least until next year. :)
I guess we'll see...
My goodness, I never did get around to updating this as I promised in my previous post to this section. :(
I am now a 24 year old full-time employee of Koei Canada, a small branch of a Japanese multinational video game company responsible for such titles as "Dynasty Warriors" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I'm enjoying my work there, and it's paying me more than enough money for the time being, so I'm in a pretty good spot in life right now.
This time, I won't over-promise on adding content to this page - I don't think it's that important a page anyway. :p
So there!
My name is John Kooistra, and I am a 23 year old undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo. I have a middle name, but you won't need to know it until you meet my family...
My father's name is also John Kooistra, just as his father's name was John Kooistra. My mother's father's name was John, and one of my father's sisters married a John. Thankfully, he kept his name, keeping the number of John Kooistras in check.
Since I'm going to be late for class if I continue to update this, I'll cut it short... but I'll update it later... oh how I'll update it... It will be updated like you've never seen before... just you wait...
