Nice.

All those years of development to be beat in a day.


Thank god for nightmare mode.
 
Hmm, just got a contract to start a very small closed circuit show about gaming and nerd related culture. Wants me to build the whole thing from scratch. This could be really awesome or really really annoying.

Closed Circuit? Is this for a college's channel or something?
 
Ha, no. I would never do anything at a college. (I take that back but they probably couldnt afford for me. Seeing has colleges seem to love half assing everything)

This guy who owns a chain of video game stores wants to start a show similar to the Gamestop closed circuit show. Budget is decent but the guy know nothing about production so working with him might be a pain in the ass.

Nothing kills dreams like stripping away that Hollywood bullshit and explain how much work and money it takes to do production work. We will see.

Amen. If you stay focused, great things can happen.

Made my bones on the show that evolved into X-Play (I'm the ninja that appears in 1:55)

This was the first feature I was assigned on the show. Great opportunity even if I knew next to nothing about DDR going into the assignment:

Wow, you really screwed up the embedding bluedotlounge.


Working for MTV, BET, CMT, ESPN etc etc is always much easier because everything is set in stone. They call, they tell me the time and place, the day rate and my check comes in the mail.

Working for independent people (which happens a lot) is always a hassle because you have spend so much time convincing how things in the real production world works. Especially with money, people think that because you can point a camera at something and upload it to youtube its makes them a director/actor/production hand/camera guy.

I love watching these youtbe "movies," where they are crossing the line like crazy and the only people watching are 50 people they know. That episode of South Park where they talk about internet money is the bible in my eyes.

Yeah, screwed up that embed job ;-)

I found the most lucrative videogame a/v production jobs are either the ones funded by videogame publishers' marketing departments or videogame news sites funded by VCs who don't know the first thing about videogames. Producing 5 E3 booth videos are enough to fund half-a-year's worth of pet projects.
 
Antiques Roadshow is coming to Mpls. on July 9th. My Mom has an 1860s rocking chair that her great great great grandfather handmade in Germany. We submitted pictures and descriptions to them, hopefully they'll call back and feature it at the roadshow or even on PBS. If they pick it, they'll pay to ship it back and forth wherever the roadshow takes place.

Also appiled for tickets; they don't charge you, but they have a lottery to get in.

The OTT is going to get its own TV show?
 
This is pretty fun.

So after a Best Buy screwup I got: Fable Collector's Edition x 2, Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare, and a $32 giftcard for $64.
 
I spent a few hours playing Demon's Souls today and was doing really well for a switch. Leveled up a few times, killed a couple bosses, that sort of thing. Then I went to upgrade my weapons and my weapon upgrade dude has vanished...again. I recall this being the thing that frustrated me to the point of getting rid of it the first time.
 
Hey all. Is Mak around?

What is Scat Porn? Or do I not want to know?

Please. PLEASE. Don't hire anyone resembling in anyway that girl who looks like she's about to eat children as one of the hosts. I believe in my heart that she was hired by a vindictive casting agent who wanted to drive customers out of GS stores.

Please google it with the safeties off, G-gal. Especially the famous documentary from a while back featuring two young ladies who originally come together only to share a treat but learn the true meaning of understanding as they get to know each other in ways most never do.
 
Since today is officially Blue Monday:

New Order - Blue Monday

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortunes
I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold

Why do they only call for bad weather on the days that I work and not for the other guys? Ice tomorrow morning. At least it'll supposedly be done by the time I go in, but still, road conditions and the cleaning of the carts when I first get them will be annoying enough.

You're a hole, jerkdish.

Gwen all you need to know, and this is probably too much: Scat = #2. Yes. That #2.

It's what the OTT's mom would be doing, if the OTT had a mom.

just cause she knows a URL is bad news doesn't mean she knows what the hosted content was. :p

I don't have many since I got my PS1 from a guy my mom knew when the PS1 games were pretty much gone from stores.

But some favorites of mine:

Raystorm - Shmup
Spin Jam - Puzzle (where my avy's from :razz:)
Twisted Metal 2 - Racing/Combat
Star Ocean: The Second Story - RPG
Chrono Cross - RPG

Plus there's Final Fantasy Tactics, Dead or Alive, Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Dragoon, Suikoden, etc.
