Comm Tech Post pt2.

Well, that's nice, it didn't even want to upload my video for me... Turns out theres a 100mb rule here, and my video is 121 mb, so now i have just encountered enough errors for me to stay sane. Unfortunately, the video will not upload, so I have attempted to upload one of my more favourite scenes from the video, the Music Scene. I don't want to upload my video to youtube yet, as it is unfinished.

And yes, I have tried shrinking my video down to the worst quality, and lower than 100mb, and it still will not upload, so that's another factor to why I chose this scene.

So without further adieu...

The Comm Tech Post

Well, like I said earlier, I had to do a "podcast" assignment type thing.

So, I've decided to upload the rough cut of the video I have been working on so far. Keeping in mind, its still ROUGH, there's a codec issue at the beginning, and I'm still working on an intro, and end credits. I can't wait until its completely done, because I have to submit it to both Universities that i applied to.

As well, if must be, you can check out my other videos over on Youtube so go check that out.

Oh, before i forget, check this video out, I found it a couple days ago, it was pretty funny.

I know I said in my earlier post that I was working on a tutorial, however, when it came time to do it, I forgot about my english presentation (which so happens to be on film) so I scurried to do that, and before I knew it yesterday, I had a soccer game at 10:00, so I was pretty tired.

"What was my tutorial going to be about?" you may ask yourself. Well, originally I planned on making an After Effects tutorial on explosions and what not, but then I had no luck with After Effects downloading, so I was going to make a tutorial on "How to Make a One Man Band" which was going to be a more humorous tutorial, but as I said, I ran out of time from my previous video (The rough cut above) and my English and History ISUs. Oh the workload, but what can you do.

Things I've learnt about blogspot over a while:

-Hyperlinking words

-Advertising other people's blogs

-Embeding Youtube videos

-Designing the background for Blogspot (if you think back to last year, I went through many different background changes)

-And a bit of HTML with the overall layout of this page

End of the semester

Aaaaaaaaaaaah man, reaching the end of the semester.

With that in mind, there's a ton of projects that I have to do. I still have to finish up my video, Im just missing two scenes, however its difficult to film when you're the only person in your video, and you have no one to help with tripod and stuff.

I finished my english essay, thank god, and i plan on never writing another essay until the history exam, and thats it. After that, im done with essays.

Then i have a History presentation this friday, and an english presentation next thursday, stuff is starting to get tight.

So within a few days, i should have a video up here, a tutorial using sony vegas. Im still contemplating what i should do, so far, im thinking explosions; exploding snowballs.

This tutorial is worth marks actually. I have to send my teacher the link to this site for him to view the tutorial so he can mark it and such. I knew blogspot would come in handy someday.

As for gaming, i haven't gamed in time. Of course ill spend maybe a half hour-hour and a half playing ps3 or something or a mix of console and computer games, but i think my attention span decreased with games, because i find myself getting bored pretty quick.

Anyways, that's all i wanted to write really.

Wait what?

Ok, so I haven't posted here in a while, sweet.

I don't know, I just don't have much time for blogs and that stuff... too busy with school and stuff.

All this stuff posted here feels like so long ago and feels like a complete different person wrote for it. I don't know man, I just don't play many games now-a-days, just like Left 4 Dead and some Modern Warfare (1 and 2) and some other Valve games like TF2 and shiit.

I kinda realized how i went through a stage of wanting to do all this; now its like... holy shit, I really wasted my time haha.

Sunnava Shitstorm

Holy frijoles, time flies by.

Well, i kinda want to keep this one short.

Basically school and shit has flown by really fast, its almost getting to like since its been a year that i've been registered here, yeh know?

As much sense as that didnt make, you should understand.

Its just that today, something funny happened.

Well, what happened, was that at the beggining of second semester, which is like February, and after my vermont trip, so like end of february actually, we were assigned text books and blah blah blah.

What happened was that one day when i brought my text book to class, i put it under my desk, in the tray thing. I left the class without it.

Up until today, i was stuck with a lost text book (how do you like that figurative language?). Me and my buddy dylan are working on our speech thing for tomorrow, when mr. B, our ancient civ teacher asks us to take down the recycling.

Dylan and I arrive at the garbage bins. Dylan goes and empties his, then when i go to empty mine, to my surprise, a lot of paper came out.

So after pouring it, i closed the lid, but something caught my eye. I started to walk towards dylan, when i thought about what i saw. I opened the box up, and to my surprise there was a textbook.

Now, we all know that it was mine, because why else would i be telling the story.

So yeah, thats all i really wanted to say.

Im really tired, and dont feel like having proper grammar this time, so theres lots of mistakse :)

Other than that, i've been playing castle crashers, banjo kazooie, Dawn of war, UT3, COD4, Fable 2 and some other games, RE5, and etc etc...

All the way till now.

Alright, that was weird. I just hit enter after the title, and I accidentally published the post.

To be completely honest, nothing really has changed since the last post. Besides the fact that it was my birthday on February 26th.

I haven't blogged in a while, because there has been nothing to talk about. Before I used to just talk about random shit, but why waste other people's time?

So I guess I'll review Dawn of War II.

Dawn of War II is a great game, but don't let the name throw you off; its a Warhammer game. Yes, we all know that Warhammer may be a nerdy game, but this isn't like the Warhammer everyone knows. If you know what Dawn of War II is, then you're in the clear, and skip a few lines. This is not medieval at all, this is based in the future. The game is called Warhammer 40K or 40,000 whatever. So to put it past everything, it's basically like Warcraft 3 and Starcraft mixed. You have your hero units, and you have your normal units. However, it's not entirely what you may think it will be. The game itself is classified as an RTS, but you do not build anything. It's a great game for new people to the RTS genre, so they can just pick it up and play, and learn to get better. In a classic RTS like Starcraft where you build buildings and such, can frustrate someone, however, this is pretty basic. Ill start with Campaign. In Campaign, its pretty simple, just do the objective. Do I have complaints? No, the game is pretty damn straight forward. I'm not too far myself, but all I know so far is that Im the space marines, and Im flipping back and forth between two planets right now, and i know theres a 3rd out there. So anyways, multiplayer. At first i was disapointed. You go to custom game, and you will barely find anygames. I think the reason for this, is because it runs on Xbox Live, and people may need to pay for a Gamertag, i do not know of this for sure. Another thing, is the game was just released a couple weeks ago, so it is still new, but still, shouldn't that mean there should be more people online? Anyways, i just started to play more online today, and i found that there were a lot more games up and running, and i finally tried Ranked games. Ranked games are your standard matchmaking.

Alright, into gameplay. I know you're wondering, if you dont build, what do you do? Well, heres where it gets challenging. You have to capture little objectives on your map, which gets you more resources. Requisition is basically your gold, and Power is your vespene gas, or lumber, or whatever the scarce material is in a standard RTS. When you capture these points, it increases the number of points you get per minute. In a 3v3 match, this is good, because it benefits the whole team. Plus, you do not share resources at all with your team, meaning if you spend 500 req. on a tacticle team, it doesnt take money from them; which is pretty straight forward. There are 2 game variations, Victory Capture, and Annihilation. Annihilation, just kill everything. Victory capture, there are 3 victory points, and you start with 500 points, and when it reaches zero, you lose. What really sucks, is when the other team has 2 points captured, and heavily guarded, and you only got 1; then you're boned.

There's not really much more to add to this really. Its a really fun game, there's 4 races, with 3 different heroes. I'd have to give this game an 8.5/10. It's really fun, but there are some tiny things that they could add, like, a control changing option, i dont want to hold ALT to rotate the map, i want to press the middle mouse button. Anyways, its a great game, good price too, pick it up if your pc can run it.

Christmas Holidays

Sure, its been a while, I know, but still, Christmas holidays were good.

Now, I'm not saying i got a lot for christmas, because I didn't. I only got CoD WaW for Wii, and Entourage season 4 which i just finished the a couple nights ago.

But i did create a video with my friend, if you havn't seen it yet, the link is here.
I'm also happy, because the creators of Awesome Video Games, FFSTv, (far from subtle, not for F*** sakes) featured us on their channel. Here's their original video.

Incase im not on their channel anymore, i took a screenshot :)
Anyways, that's all i wanted, my friend Aleesha is txting me, and now my friend brandon is Voice chatting me and my pants won't stop vibrating.
