Filming and Nothing Else

So I haven't done anything aside from work and make a movie with my friend. It's a parody of the game Deadly Premonition and the end result is better than I would've thought:
CLICK ME!

Into the Frying Pan

So I had this issue with Heretic 2 where the game kept crashing after I finished a level, so I had to cheat passed it and respawn all my items and now I'm back on track, so I'll finish up that game soon hopefully. I just got Martian Gothic in the mail the other day and so far it's rather creepy and you definitely have to THINK to play the game. So I'll get down to playing more of that... eventually... Heretic 2 caught my attention.
I have been using my Jupiter-8 vst more now and now I do actually love the thing to death. At first it was a love-hate (more hate) thing, but now I'm finding more good things about it so yay.
I did watch some E3, like two days. The two things that really pleased me were Rage and Metal Gear Rising. MGR is one reason for me to get a 360 and yes I'm well aware that it is a multiplatform game, but it ain't comin out for the mac so yea. Diablo 3 is the only other new game I'm excited about and it IS coming out for the mac, so that'll be cool to get when that comes out.
I just found out that Urban Outfitters carries Bed:Stu boots in their stores so I'm going to have to venture to the UO near me and see if they have any, otherwise maybe they can order some... I hope.
So after my mind exploded because of my game idea, I've started to regain my sanity bit by bit and what I'd really like to do is create a low polygon 3d game as an homage to all the 3d 90s games that I love so much like the Jedi Knight series, that's just counting Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith, as well as Heretic 2 and maybe some others my mind is too focused on what I'm typing right now.
SAN FRANSISCO IN A COUPLE WEEKS!

My Mind Is Imploding

So I decided to work more on the concepts for my game and suddenly I got an ambitious thought, that ambitious thought led to me looking at other indie games which led to an overload of my mind in wanting to do a billion different things so as of right now my mind is kaput. I need to figure out what I really want to do and then start doing concepts for that and then figure everything out from there. I just hope this all clears up after some sleep.

Two Updates That Anger Me...

So yesterday my friend told me about the Mortal Kombat trailer. I wasn't expecting much except for the movie to take place in the MK universe and there was going to be a tournament blah blah blah. What I got was a steaming pile of skunk vomit. Let's go through this:
-Jax and Sonya aren't cops, they are Special Forces. STRIKER is a cop.
-Reptile is not a human with a skin condition, he's a lizard from Outworld.
-Baraka is not a human, he's a Tarkatan, also from Outworld, he was born with the swords in his arms and grotesque appearance.
-I hope to God they address the issue that Scorpion (Hanzo Hisashi) is already dead and that's why he has a feud with Sub-Zero, yes Sub-Zero killed him.
-Johnny Cage is dead at the beginning of the movie, that's just lame.
I bet with Rayden he'll be some guy that gained the power to use electricity so he calls himself Rayden... NO, Rayden IS the thunder god. Like Baraka he's born that way. Now... with all my nerd rage out, I will say that it does look good and it's interesting to see Scorpion as the main character as opposed to Liu Kang. So I may see it and try to leave my MK nerdiness outside the theatre.
Next up there's Rock Band 3, I hate Rock Band and Guitar Hero style games, so when I find out that Rock Band 3 is going to have synthesizer I was pissed. I hate that synthesizer has to be a part of this bullshit. Now people will probably ask me to play some stupid song that was on Rock Band 3 and for that I'll punch them in the face. Thank you Harmonix for now making me hate even more. I thought I was going to have a nice happy summer, but no, you turned this summer into shit.
I can never be happy.

Fashion

So browsing the internet I finally found some reasonably priced boots, I am very happy. They are Bed:Stu's, straight out of Brooklyn. Durable with a vintage appearance. I'm also looking to get some new pants, practically every pair I have has a hole in the left knee. I did find some new ones so, that's cool, just need to figure out my new size, 34/34 is too short on me... waist is good. I'll be venturing over to Goodwill some time soon to see if I can find a trench coat of some type, then (if I find one) it'll be over to target to find needle and thread to sew my fox hide onto the collar of that bad boy. I also gotta get a few shirts, but that's pretty much it.

RPG Gaming Madness Nonsense

Hooray, Blogger is working!
Anyways, so, I've been chasing after that dungeon crawler, action, adventure game idea again. Got some sprites and tiles, and I got some ideas written down. And with Outer Limits (now registered) I have some musical ideas going through my head. To help aid me in my quest for a good game I downloaded Avernum, then deleted it because it was so boring, and Eschalon Book 2 which is supposedly good, so we'll see how that works. I'm also getting back into Heretic 2 for some aid. I finally beat the first boss, huzzah, yeah, I was pretty stupid.
I also started playing Warhammer Online with my friend and we're going to try Skype for gameplay convo since typing is not always best >:l
I just ordered Martian Gothic and Bushido Blade for PSX, a new backpack, and Kraftwerk 1+2. My Novation synth will be sold soon... tomorrow to be exact, and with that money I will be getting a new MIDI controller because the NANOKey is very flimsy and has gone shit on me before (this is my second one), so I want to get something more stable and just all around better. I'll also be taking it to college with me.
See you next update.

Outer Limits Review

So, I just bought Outer Limits by Native Instruments and Zero G and for the one hour that I was messing with it, I am bum over noggin for this thing. Every sound is so haunting that it delights me. I could create dozens and dozens of horror soundtracks with this. I've run into one issue though and that is with registration, it said my key was invalid so I have to get that dealt with. So for those of you that don't know what Outer Limits is (I'm guessing all of you) it is a virtual instrument full of dark ambience sounds that is just down right awesome. I don't think I've ever been happier with a purchase to be honest. With this I could definitely make the next greatest horror game soundtrack. I don't see this being used with movies or TV shows like I do with games. Maybe it's just that video games influence my music, but whatever, I definitely want to start doing some video game soundtracks now! Heck, maybe I'll actually make a video game, psh, yeah, and David Lynch will make a movie that won't have weirdness in it. For a virtual instrument the price is pretty cheap, I got this at Sam Ash for $160, that's $40 cheaper than MSRP. The patches seem to be very pressure sensitive, unless my MIDI controller is just very flimsy (I have a KORG NanoKey). I realize that most of this review is very fractured because I keep breaking to rave about this thing, but it's true, it is the coolest virtual instrument you can buy... if you're into dark ambience or something like that. While going through the patches I realized how each patch is so unique. I feel like the people that made this slaved over making these patches, even the patches under the group Minimalist seem that way. Oh yeah, groups, there are many different patch groups that come with this software. The patch groups are all labeled by what they sound like, I guess, I mean, some of these patches are just so different that I couldn't even put them in a specific category or group. I don't know what else to say about this other than excited gibberish, so I'll close by saying if you are into dark ambience or are looking for something different than your typical virtual instrument get this.

...
Wow, my first review in like forever, and for a virtual instrument no less, and it sucks... well... deal with it.

I Should Get Back To This, Yeah?

So I realize that I've left all of you, now let's be honest, I bet two or three people read this blog, and I decided that with summer here I should probably return with a vengence... so I will. I'll try to make at least one post a week, ok?
Right now I've been playing Warhammer Online and I've been getting into it. I don't think I'll actually buy a subscription though because once I get to college I'll probably stop playing and play some other game(s) because I just won't have the time for an MMO. Aside from WO I will get Martian Gothic, Bushido Blade, and Crime Killer for PS1 just for some old time fun. I love old games.
Other than that I got a job, graduation is thursday, and I go to San Francisco at the end of June so.... not much to talk about. Hopefully you guys stand by my side.
