Nick joined Jul 27, 2002

I'm Nick, aka jacksonj04, and I'm one of the volunteer staff members here at Mod DB. I've been with the site since way back at the beginning, and did (at one point) actually mod. On a personal side, I was born in the UK and have lived there ever since, and I'm currently studying Computing and Cybernetics (That's robotics for those who don't know) at the University of Lincoln. Hobbies include Scouting, kayaking, and the ubiquitous video gaming. Here on Mod DB I am an all-around helpful guy, am one of the English language experts, and I'm also the one you should end up at if you're lost, confused, or otherwise in need of help that nobody else has been able to give you. I can't promise to put your life in order, but at least I can make sure your profiles all work properly. If you need help just drop me a PM - I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Quite often we get mods showing off every single model they've built to try and bolster some awareness amongst the players who love the eye-candy. Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but recently a few mods and games have started posting some more technical information in their news posts.

Since Mod DB has a healthy community of developers as well as players, it might be worth considering posting up something about any clever technical stuff you've done. Smarter AI, faster visual processing, new and improved workflows and so on all can help make other developers go "ooooh".

Hey nick, Long time no see eh?

I haven't been to Mod DB for a long time, I stepped down from modding HL2 games since getting a coder is really hard. I'm working on another mod now, something simpler, a RTS-TC mod for BFME2.

So What have you been up to?

Are you the forum admin?

I cannot believe you deleted the thread I was in! lol That guy soiled himself in humility brought upon by himself. I have never seen such epic self ownage in my life!

I wish I got a picture of it before it got deleted. That one belonged in my personal history book.

I just want to say as a modder that I really appreciate what moddb has done. Its great to have a really nicely presented site to serve as a hub for our mod. I love the interface, simple to use, flexible and it looks good too. And Jackson, I really appreciate your blog and how it helps me learn new things (like how to get the image go all the way across the bottom of a post) Thanks to you and all the moddb staff!
