Video is under way

So I've gotten started on the "Video Game Deaths - The Sequel" video.  Have a few games in mind already which I won't give away...but I am looking for more ideas as I feel I don't have enough to work with.  I'm constantly scouring the internet for crap to use but it's difficult.  I've gone through my entire library and only found a handful of games...so for anyone that actually does read my blog, if you can think of ANY games that have a ridiculous death animation or game over screen or whatever, please let me know.  I'll be sure to give you credit if I use your game.

Otherwise I'm sure I can make due with what I have...just won't be as long as I'd like.  The games can be from any system (preferably an older system, like Atari, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, or any retro system really) but I may have a hard time working with newer systems like Xbox and PlayStation since don't own any of the newer systems...the latest system I have is a PS2 lol.  I'm a PC guy ONLY now.  It's ridiculous how expensive the newer systems are these days...but that's another story.

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted.  I'm hoping to have it done in a couple weeks if not sooner but who knows with my time schedule...

Here is a picture of a terrible, TERRIBLE movie poster of "Mission Impossible" that was made in Thailand or something....

Latest Music Vid Done - What's next...

So you'll notice that I uploaded another "Intermission Bits 3" video.  These clips were taken from my Superman 64 video...you'll also notice that the audio from this video was out of sync toward the end.  Reason for this is that the Superman 64 video was made in Premiere CS3 as opposed to CS6 that I have now...and I used completely different settings back then.  When I imported it to CS6, it didn't like the changes and gave me a hell of a time to export it again.

I also created another music video.  The song is NeoNature, created by nervous_testpilot from OCRemix.  There were a lot of Deus Ex remixes I could find but I liked this one the most.  At first I thought I'd take this more in a serious direction and do a commemorative sort of video...but then I had a hard time finding good quality walk through footage so I eventually gave up with being serious and made it a joke toward the end.  Either way, gives you all perspectives of the game...the good, the bad and the humorous aspects.  Great game, should pick it up on Steam if you haven't played it.  Certainly worth playing through once, even if it is dated.

I'm going to take a break from Music Videos for now (though I have a ton more I want to make, in time).  I'm now working on the Valkyria Chronicles review (playing the game through AGAIN since I didn't capture any footage the first time around) and at the same time I'm going to work on "Video Game Deaths - The Sequel".  I'd say "Part 2" but I think I broke up the original "Video Game Deaths" into multiple parts...so I'll just say "The Sequel" instead.

I'm going to make the Valkyria review in a different style...going to script some of it and adlib the rest, as per usual.  I'm actually going to show ME in the video as well but mostly game footage.  I may have to cheat a little...just so I can go through the 2nd playthrough faster.  Yes, I've already researched cheats because that's the type of gamer I am (when it comes to single player anyway).  Sorry, I can't help it! It's a disease!  Must cheat if I know I can...but don't worry (Byron) I swear I didn't cheat the first play through.

Sorry I keep going back and forth with what videos I plan on making next.  It's hard to decide.  But now I think I'm set FOR SURE on Valkyria and Video Game Deaths.  So stay tuned.  Here is a happy picture for the holiday.  Oh yeah - Happy Holidays all!

Still Making Videos...

I'm almost done this Deus Ex music video I'm working on...sorry it's taking so long.  I just had to download all the freakin footage from around the web.  I could get it myself but that would mean playing the entire game over again which will only delay the video further.  It's funny, I wanted to do this hoping it would be quick and easy so you guys weren't waiting 500 years to see more videos...but these things never work out for me...EVERYTHING takes 500 years to make these days.

Anyway, it's almost done and then next I'm either working on the Phobe review or Valkyria Chronicles review.  I know I keep changing my mind on what to do next but I'm going to try and stick to my guns this time.

Hey System Shock 2 is on sale for a buck ($1.08) on Steam for anyone that actually reads my blog...and likes that game.  Good times.

Anyway that's it for now.  Here is a pic of on old man.

Update and New Videos

Okay so...as previously mentioned, I took down my latest "Jeff's Work" videos altogether...too many people at work found out about them (only took them 10 years) so I had no choice but to remove them in order to avoid being fired.  I'm not even hosting them privately.

What's even funnier is that I noticed a bunch of co-workers suddenly joined my subscription list tonight LOL I wonder why.

Anyhoo, I was going to make another "Worst Games" episode of Godzilla 2 but I'm going to postpone that for now.  Instead I'm going to work on a top 10 (sort of) list of my favorite game remixes (MP3's).  So I'll have the game playing in the background while the remix plays.

Here is the list I have going so far (the game names, anyway):

1. Deus Ex (PC)
2. Super Metroid (SNES)
3. Bionic Commando (NES)
4. Sonic the Hedgehog (various games) (GENESIS)
5. Shadowgate (NES)
6. Megaman 2 (NES)
7. Stunt Race FX (SNES....just one song)
8. Top Gear (SNES)
9. Final Fantasy IV and VI (SNES)
10. Gradius 3 (SNES)

That's it for now, but the list will grow in the future.  Just figure I'd do something different and these won't take that long to do, really.  Just got to rake in all the info about each song, who composed them, where to find the songs, give the remixers credit, that sort of stuff.

But alas, I'm disheartened that I must discontinue the Jeff's Work series yet again...until I get fired...which I hope isn't soon because I got no place else to go.

Removed Altogether

Sorry guys, for those that actually cared about them, I removed my latest Jeff's Work videos entirely.  I can't risk losing my job over stupid videos...at first I figured nobody but ONE person that worked with me would ever see them but the news is spreading so I can't afford to keep them up, not even privately.

In the event I stop working here one day then I'll be sure to repost them but until then, they're gone.  Funny as they were, I'm sure some wouldn't appreciate them.

I'll just stick to working on Video Game videos for now...I'm going to skip the Final Fantasy Tactics video again and making another Worst Games Episode - Godzilla 2.

Possible Delay

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the latest Jeff's Work video may be delayed.  It would appear that there are specific individuals who are watching my videos that I tend to poke fun at an extensive amount.   Because of this, I'm forced to edit the video to remove these parts...or tone it down a bit.

It's possible they'll find it amusing (who doesn't poke fun at themselves here and there) but considering that I work with these people, I don't want to chance pissing them off.  There are some people in the video that I don't care about pissing off (as you can tell)...anyway, don't be surprised if these specific videos go private some day.

This is the very reason I stopped making Jeff's work videos because of fear of being fired.  I only then posted them when I stopped working at said place but even then I had to remove specific names and what not. 

Soooo I'll edit it tonight and hopefully still upload tonight but that depends on how long exporting takes...usually a couple hours.

I may upload the unedited version but only share with a specific few. Once this video is done, I'll get to work on the Final Fantasy Tactics video only because I  like to mix it up a bit and I've been wanting to do this one for awhile.

Stay tuned...here is a picture of realistic looking Sonic...

OMG It has been 4 years...

I can't believe it has been 4 years since my last post...what a joke. 

It's hard for me to stick to a routine like this...making videos, updating my blog, all the while spending time with family and working, etc.  I get so little time to focus on this stuff that whenever I do find time, I often spend it playing a game or something.

Anyhoo, I'm going to TRY and keep up with this from now on...so far, I've been doing well keeping up with my Youtube site.  I've been slowly progressing at it but at least I'm progressing lol.  

Right now I'm just working on another Jeff's Work episode since they're easier and faster to produce....though demand for these episodes is very little.  It's nearly done and should be uploaded probably even tonight.

Otherwise, I have so many other ideas lined up:

1. Final Fantasy Tactics Editing Tool review*
2. Video Game Deaths - The Sequel
3. Worst Games Ever - Godzilla 2
4. NES Top 10 - #6 - TMNT II
5. Lester and Soapman - Continuation**

*This is a tool that somebody had made back in the day for the Playstation Dex Drive...what you would do is upload your PSX memory card to your PC using the Dex Drive and then use this tool to edit the saved file contents for Final Fantasy Tactics.  It was a great idea (never completed) but anyway I'll get into that later

**continuation of the "Another World & Out of this World - Deaths and then some..." video

That's all I got for now.  Stay tuned.  Until then, here is a picture of the Ultimate Warrior.
