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Now, all of a sudden, a little over a decade from when I originally made it, I’m getting a bunch of comments.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.

All Aboard The Party Bus!

This is going to be a vehicle for a small scene I’m working on. I’m not finished building it up to satisfaction but this is supposed to be a party bus, kinda sorta based off of an adventure we had in Garry’s Mod years ago involving a party bus that would take us to a magical place called “party church”. back in the days when Yutram used to give guided tours in the party bus along the Quebec side of GMod.

This was basically a digital new year’s party we held back in 2015… hard to believe it’s been so long. We had Fireworks, dancing, party church, music that surprisingly didn’t get copyrighted. Such innocent…ish times.

I never left, but I’m back

Sorry I haven’t posted much lately. I’m finally having a day off, and my head feels much clearer. I even celebrated by having a livestream with friends. I wanted to do something a little more sociable rather than Skyrim this evening, and goofing around in Sandbox with some buddies sounded like a good romp. We visited a couple custom maps, one is a near perfect recreation of Dragonsreach from Skyrim, and we also visited an extended version an abstract map. We also did some watermelon science during our stay in Dragonsreach. I managed to get myself infected with a watermelon virus (and no, that’s not why I have amazing melons in the thumbnail). I thought only NPC’s could catch it, but apparently once you contract the watermelon virus it will either cause you to shit out watermelons, or cause you to explode into watermelons. :rick:

It was nice to have a calm day where nothing went wrong… and hopefully I’ll have one more day just like that. :melon: Perhaps if I’m feeling good I’ll finish that one video I’ve been working on for fucking ever too! Perhaps after some other form of fucking about. :zorak:

Spending The Leap Year In Gmod

I didn’t queue this.

Decided to chill in the cinema tonight. We usually have a small “after party” after we finish watching videos with activities; such as riding a crazy couch from the lobby. It was nice just to chill tonight after a rough week of dealing with mental and physical agony. I look forward to being unconscious for as long as possible. :zorak:

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.

Late Night Weekend Open Thread

I got together with Yutram today and we hit the Gmod Cinema together to watch a few things, that would normally be too shameful to take outside of the basement, but we wanted to sit some place comfy. I also worked on some SFM posters:

I made a few posters in SFM afterwards. This one is going to be the thumbnail for the upcoming videos, those will be released in late November and early December… so I wasn’t lying when I said it would be before Christmas! In the meanwhile I’ve been readying myself for the upcoming Skyrim project. All my animation ideas have been jotted down, and I’ve already done a small bit of scene prep.

I’m long overdue for calling it a night, damn imagination…

What in god’s name have I done?

Just Like Geralt!

For quite a few things I usually have to extract models from Garry’s Mod Workshop to place into SFM, and I wanted this particular version of Geralt for an image I was making. I’m not sure why but no matter what I did the torso just didn’t want to give up its ultimate bromance with Geralt’s neck. That’s ok… I didn’t want to sleep tonight anyway!

I did work on another video tonight (the above image doesn’t reflect on it in any way, this was just some last minute brainfart that needed to be expelled) and managed to get a scene done. I’ll probably continue onto the next one after I get off work tomorrow. I’m looking forward to this particular one, its a Left 4 Dead campaign Yutram and I played not too long ago, and there is enough footage for me to make quite a few fun videos. I contemplated on making one large video instead, but I find keeping things short for a short attention span world.

Gaming Open Thread

It almost always seems to be shitty weather whenever I happen to get a day off from work. Good thing I have a large gaming arsenal to take on the stormy weather!

I made some outfits in Gmod today. Nothing too spectacular, mainly just placing hats on my playermodel and a nice sixpack.

sixpack

😛 Then I did a little bit of ESO for awhile and finished the Castle Rilis quest, where you escort a Rilis family member in finding their family helm. As expected I ended up having to kill him after the fact… Oh well, at least I completed one quest.

Then we did some Gmod Cinema for awhile, catching up on some funny videos. We did have a couple other users on the server, one tried to obstruct my brothers view of the movie screen by sitting on his head. This was remedied by turning the asshat invisible. 😛

We then ventured off to the main sandbox, which has been neglected for quite sometime. And like tradition we crashed the server with our special breed of Man Hacks. 😛 Typical.

Oh yeah! Even did a bit of TF2 this morning. As usual everyone sucks in MvM, and I played for a bit with someone on the main server… Relaxing. 😛

Survival of the fattest: AKA I didn’t get trampled on Black Friday

Now that I’ve regained my energy I felt it would be time to tell people that I survived the Thanksgiving/Black Friday weekend. I had to work on both days and as expected it was pretty insane. I got off early on both days so decided to buy myself a couple pairs of boots and finish up on the rest of my Christmas shopping. All I need to do now is wrap everything and send it off.

I didn’t go anywhere today.. I spent the day in bed at the computer playing games on the Steam Controller, mostly Rocket League and even some Ground Zeroes. I had to adjust the sensitivity so that I could aim my weapon faster but all in all it worked perfectly. I also spent some Cinema time with one of my friends watching YouTube videos together. It was great.I stayed in my PJ’s all day and had no regrets.
