Bad news from Bwian

**Bwian** · 02-22-2006, 21:54

This is a post I was hoping I was not going to have to make...but it is unavoidable.

For those of you who were following what I was up to ( the Metal Mayhem mod mainly ) you will know my modding efforts were cut short by a motorcycle accident last November. Not to go into too much detail, my right hand got trapped under the bike and got mashed into the tarmac.

Nearly 4 months on, I still cannot spend any serious time at the PC without pain, and my fine muscle control is still sadly lacking. Anyone who has tried to model in Max with a twitchy hand will understand how frustrating this is. I can't do the stuff properly, and it just sucks the fun right out of it.

It looks like I have done lasting damage to the tendons in the back of my hand, and I have no idea when...or if.... things will get back to the point where I can actually mod again to the sort of standards I can accept.

In light of that, I am retiring from active modding for this game.

Take care, and the best of luck recovering.

That's terrible news, Bwian

MM was a mod that really defied all the expectations. I can only wish you a full and speedy recovery.

Oh god. So sorry to hear about that. I'm an illustrator so having damage done to my right hand is one of my worst fears. Sorry to hear that happened to you :( I hope that it's just temporary and you would eventually recover. Good luck and godspeed, Bwian.
