Delay

The production of Episode 7 of The Citizens Mind is currently on hold on account of an affliction of my chest and throat. Not fun.

A Fine Line

Guess what! Episode 6 decided to actually upload! *is happy*
It only took 9 seperate attempts...



Be entertained!!!

In other news, those games I got off amazon arrived in the last week! *more happy!*
Here's my initial assessments:
-Metro 2033: Extremely atmospheric, beautiful environments, the feeling of claustrophobia and fear in the tunnels of Moscow is unreal. The amount of detail in the environments almost makes my gaming rig rapture on itself. Only downside being that those aren't real russian accents...

-Fallout New Vegas: Excellent! Excellent! Loved Fallout 3, am engaged to New Vegas! Though it may bear resemblence to Fallout 3 in gameplay, the atmosphere and mood of the setting I'm loving, plus the mind-feck nature of some of the random encounters are just friggin' epic! I love the connections it makes with the original fallout series as well. I play on hardcore mode, because vanilla New Vegas iz for tiny baby man!

-Silent Hill 3: Scares the living s**t out of me, I tend to play it in 20 minute to half hour chunks every day or so to gather my composure. Already a fantastic survival horror game in my book. Every bit as good as it's cult following would tell you!

-Silent Hill 2: Haven't played it yet. Hoping to get to that tonight.

-Mercenaries Playground of Destruction: One of my favorite ever PS2 titles and was the one I was most looking forward to playing...and my PS2 won't read the fecking disk!!!

-Splinter Cell Chaos Theory: I remember this game fondly. Definately the high point in the series in my opinion. My favorite soundtrack in the series and I felt it expanded on the splinter cell formula in all the right ways in terms of graphics and gameplay. After having played Double Agent and Pandora Tommorrow to the brink of boredom over the last year, Chaos Theory feels every bit as refreshing as the first time I played it.

That is all gentlemen.

Sunburn

Alright! Back in the creative, metaphorical music-video-making saddle!



It took me several weeks to do this as I only have access to a decent gaming computer about 2 or 3 times a week. That includes faceposing and finding the appropriate addons (and getting to grips with Henrys Animation Tool, probably one of the best Garrys Mod machinima tools ever created). I've been wanting to do a Muse music video for a while as they're my favorite band ever (if you've seen my DeviantArt profile this will already be apparent). So I thought, what better way to get creating machinima again.

Also, yesterday I went on Amazon and am now eagerly awaiting the delivery of:
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Metro 2033
Fallout New Vegas
I got nostalgic over Christmas so bought a truckload of PS2 games as I'm getting tired of playing Double Agent, Hitman and Black over and over and over and over and over...

Godamnit Royal Mail, go faster!
