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.
