The Preppening

While waiting on the poll results I’ve already begun work on the holiday video (never too early to start these things). It turns out I already had the game footage mostly cut up! All I had to do is trim out the chaff. Tomorrow I’ll go over extracting what audio I want to animate; currently it doesn’t look like it will be as much as the last project. Quite a bit of the video footage does a good job on its own, even when I’m not stoned.

I’m going to be working on this alongside whatever the poll decrees. I’m hoping we don’t end with a ridiculous tie… I might have to make another poll. 😛

In Other News: Valve Is Still Awesome

I have to hand it to Valve… 99% of their games are awesome, they have a convenient platform to buy games on, more than one platform. Which is why I think its cool that Valve, to this day updates their older games riiiiight when you think Valve will never touch them again. Yes, TF2 had an update recently… BUT PORTAL 2 HAS VULKAN NOW HOLY SHIT.

You don’t normally see many game companies update their older products (or even make them available outside of Windows), which is why Valve will always be my main squeeze.

Now if they could just properly port SFM to Linux…

Oatmeal Weekend

A Bowl Of Sunshine

I decided this weekend would be an oatmeal weekend. I haven’t had any in awhile, and had plenty of fruit in the freezer to make a couple good bowls. Yesterday was a blueberry peach dragonfruit bowl; and today was a orange pineapple mango banana bowl. When I used to visit my grandma she always had some orange pineapple banana juice for me to drink. The taste brought back some fond memories.

If you want to make this, all you need is 1 1/2 cups of orange juice, chopped banana, mango and pineapple, small oranges (like mandarins or clementines), honey and pecans. I didn’t have any banana, so I substituted Nesquik Banana. It was all the right bits of sweet and tangy, and most importantly filling. 😛

Animation / Hobbies

We’re Goin’ To Party Church

I’ve been so dead set on finishing this that I pretty much fixated all of my spare time on wrapping up this final animation. I just need to piece it into the final project and I’ll have a full video, all canned and ready to go! All that’s left is to design a video thumbnail and I’ll be done. From there I can figure out when to release this abomination upon the world.

I’m already mentally mapping out the next project. It will be holiday themed, so there won’t be much openly posted about it as a result. Dammit! That means I’ll have to find other things to blog about! 😛

Dr Breen Is Trendy

I’m a little confused. I made this video back in 2009:

Now, all of a sudden, a little over a decade from when I originally made it, I’m getting a bunch of comments. I’m not complaining, but wtf?! This was one of my earlier experiments with animation using Garry’s Mod and Source SDK. I always thought George Carlin’s voice was a good match for Breen, and apparently there are a few others who feel the same; with just as many wondering how in the hell they ended up on the weirdness that is my street of the YouTube universe.

Who knows? I might have to try recreating comedy performances in SFM. I just need the proper inspiration.

Back To Chaos

It’s been a nice couple of days off; but it’s time to get back into the swing of things for another funtastic round of hell. In other news I did get more project work done:

I’m in the process of animating each of these characters, with only about 6 of them done for the most part. I’m not sure how long it’ll take me to finish it, but my goal is to wrap things up by the end of the week… accomplishing that is a whole other story though. 😛

My (slightly) EPIC Gaming Day

I was going to do a livestream tonight, but ran into a nasty crash. After further diagnosis I found out my webcam was the culprit, at least when used in junction with my streamdeck and OBS. By the time I finished troubleshooting it was too late for me to want to stream, but that didn’t stop us from playing a little BL3. I also did a little achievement hunting earlier in AMID EVIL for the fun of it. I finished a level without killing anyone and found the hidden EVIL difficulty. It was a little challenging corralling the enemies around the map without killing myself or accidentally triggering friendly fire, but after some trial and error I managed to traverse all the hurdles without getting stuck in any thin corridors with an entire army of douchecanoes.
