Friday Evening Open Thread
I went over the Deadpool footage again today, and it’s become too short for me to do anything with, and it was filmed in an older resolution. As a result I’ve tossed the footage. What footage that was left was good, but there are better Deadpool videos on YouTube and I know this one would have been just another one for in the pile. Instead, I returned to working on the ending for the Like a Dragon video. I found some more models, and plan to change the scene a little bit — mainly the background. I found something better to use other than a Coven of Eggmans.
I guess I’ll have to save The Three Eggmigos for another project. Oh well, on the bright side the new background characters I have in mind fit better into this universe — moreso than those freaks in the front anyway. 😛
Destructive Destructiveness
I’m currently in the process of evaluating some long forgotten Deadpool footage from an old livestream! So far I’ve narrowed it down from almost two hours to just a few minutes. This one will be like the Yakuza one in the sense that it will only have an ending, so some script writing will need to be involved to close the visual gap.
I also put together the video thumbnail for Saturday’s Broforce video! It’s simple, but that’ll match the footage.That’s one nice thing about Broforce content; it pretty much writes itself.
It’s In The Can, Man
The video is prepped and ret-2-go! All I need to do now is put together a thumbnail in Krita, and then it’ll be ready for prime time. I’m gonna go reward myself with some delicious sleep.
Open Thread!
I’ll Have Something This Weekend!
I accomplished quite a bit yesterday during my little zennning. I finished some SFM rendering, and compiled a few image sequences. I’ve put them all together tonight — all that’s left to do now is to play with the audio… and I’ll have a video for Saturday!!!
I’m not sure if I’ll start on another Broforce video, or return to finishing the end of my Yakuza video. Heck, I might even look at a different set of game footage if I’m up for it.
Monday Evening Open Zen Thread
After two days of zen I think I’m ready for five days of pain. I made it a zen repeat of yesterday, minus the gaming. It was another day of tea drinking, tea ordering, and hot white chocolate matcha to give my evening a sweet finish. I didn’t realize how low I was on my puerh teas, those (and black tea) are super important for my morning commutes. I don’t do coffee, and puerh has the right amount of caffeine to kick start the hyperactive part of me.
Japanese Games Keep Taking Over My Weekends!
Yesterday I was in 80’s Japan, and today I spent most of my gaming time in Painted Feudal Japan looking for cat statues, treasure, and animals that haven’t been fed yet.
It was a nice contrast to a sleepy grey day. I also made a homemade noodle bowl for breakfast, and have been enjoying tea ranging from matcha to sencha. I even mixed some matcha with some raspberry white hot chocolate I recently bought. When mixed together it looks like a green tea latte with sakura petals! The matcha pairs well with the sweetness of the white chocolate and the tartness of raspberry. I would have snapped a picture, but the lighting was all wrong, and I want to snap a pic in drinkware better fit for a photo shoot. All in all it was a calm day, well deserved.
How’s About a Game of Pool?
After a rough week I wanted to return to 80’s Kamurocho to release a little stress through my digital fists, but got distracted by numerous rounds of Pool… I didn’t win a single match, but I came close on most of them. The damn AI was always the one to beat me to the damned 8Ball. One of my Yakuza work friends was telling me the other day that he couldn’t get into any of the mini-games, and I’m not sure why. It’s kinda cool to have games within games, it adds more depth to the game and it makes you feel like you’re just out for a fun night on the town!
Meanwhile… I’ve been slowly testing model swaps on other characters, like replacing Bob’s model with Ronald at the local shrine. He’s gonna set me up with allllll of the happy meals. I’ve been sharing some of my screencaps with my work friends, and their reactions range from amused to questioning my well being. Heh, if anything, escaping to these other worlds is helping me cope with all the terrible shit that’s been going on lately.
Friday Night Open Thread
I’m not in much of a writing mood tonight, so here’s a thing to laugh at.
Open Thread n shit.
The Melons Of Summer
It’s officially the season of the watermelon! I’m thinking of buying something watermelon related this weekend to celebrate my first weekend of summer. The weather has been pretty comfortable these last couple of days, perfect iced tea sippin’ weather, and not hot enough to put off video progress! I haven’t decided if I’ll cram some video work in over the weekend or not… I did get quite a bit done in tonight’s sitting, the clip I’m currently working on is going to be about 25 seconds long. I think it’ll depend on how much I can complete tomorrow. Sadly this project has no watermelons in it, but it will have explosives!
