Posty title

So I recently uploaded the unused footage of Cobra George clip.  I'm really having fun making them.  I also have another one finished that I plan to upload soon and halfway through making another one.  Hopefully I'll have that one cleared up on the weekend and I can then focus on a larger more involved clip.   All of them of course feature George.

I'm having some stupid issue with my video editing program.  Seems after a few clips it just goes stupid and hangs, letting me do nothing.  So I have to scrap my progress and restart.  So I've started saving before moving a new clip.  Fairly annoying.  Then again my pc has been having its own stupid issues too so I'm just ignoring it all and letting it act stupid.

You may notice the quality of the video clips change slightly.  This is because I'm using different cameras to see which one I like most.  It doesnt help that the lighting in my friends room is weird.  Its bright enough but something is causing the cameras to not work at their full level.  Might have to put up some lamps for extra lighting.

I've thought up some live action clips to do too.  With a bit of effort I'll be able to make some truly stupid stuff that should be fun.  I dunno if I'll invest time in learning how to add in special effects since my system really is fucking retarded at the moment.  Anyone who wants to donate me an I-Mac though for editing, feel free lololol

My cat is healing quite nicely.  Got another appointment tomorrow for him, so theres some more money out the window that I dont really have.  But oh well.  Hope you are enjoying the clips and I'll be uploading some comic strips in the next few days.

Sickening

So I'm pretty frustrated.  Took my cat to the vet today after a week of him going half crazy.  Constantly scratching his ears, tore up parts of himself here and there because of it.  Not ignoring that a couple weeks back I took him in for an infected bite mark.  So I had to leave him there all day today which was fairly horrible for the both of us I'm sure.  More for me since he would of been asleep for most of the time.  I pretty much didnt sleep and took him in the morning.  They said to call in the afternoon and see how he is.

So I called up and they recommend I leave him there overnight because he's still very groggy from everything.  Now this I've never done before.  That cat is super important to me so leaving him in some strange place, even if he's mostly zombied during it, isnt something I like.  And then the cake was served, the bill will be $900.  Not the most I've paid in 1 go, last one was $1300 for a massive issue he had quite a few years back.  So adding the $300 I spent a couple weeks ago on him, and probably 1-2 more checkup trips which will be around $100 or whatever each, my wallet has decided it hates me.  Goodbye to the sound system I was planning to buy my parents this week that I'd been saving for.  Not working at the moment isnt helping either.  Thats a shitload of money.  But I'd still pay if it was $2000.  Time to cut back on a few things I was planning on getting till I get a job again.  Financial death has come for me.

Stooges everywhere

So the other day I handed Jed my edited clips for the next portal video.  I enjoyed watching them again since it had been months since we played I'd forgotten half the retarded things we did.  Even one area where I died that I'd forgotten, it was so unexpected my jaw dropped.  So we'll just wait for Jed to do his little bit and hopefully sometime next week it'll be up.

One of the gifts I was getting for my mum has been scratched off the list.  I placed my order last week and was told $90 for postage, which is a little obscene but I grinned and bared it.  So yesterday I called up asking about where it is in the world since it wouldnt let me track it.  Then I'm told they havent shipped it yet because they need to contact my bank for whatever purposes and needed their number off me.  Thats cool.  How about tell me this when I placed the damn order.  So about to put it through and the lady says $150 postage.  I'm like you're fucking kidding me.  Apparently thats the cheapest UPS shipping for this, which is bull.  Told them to cancel the order.  More annoying is they are the only ones who stock this that ship overseas.  So poo.  At least I got one of 2 other gifts I got her.  Second should be in tomorrow hopefully.  I'll take picpics.

In the meantime heres another comic from my friend, Royce!

Cobra George

So its been like 15 years or whatever but my friend and I decided to finally make a second action figure video.  Its set so only people here can see it cause I love you all, even the really ugly ones.  I'll have to confess I fucked up as I wasnt used to that specific camera, so my finger was always over the speaker holes, which were placed at the top for some stupid reason, so you'll hear little cracks and pops and sometimes the volume getting muffled.  I'll keep an eye out for that next time. Friend is the same guy who drew the comic in the below post.  So yeah, enjoy the shitty clip.

New magic

So the past couple days have been fairly eventful.  Today I found out a folder I sent back to be replaced was received by the useless company and they sent me the replacement on the 9th.  So hopefully in a week or two I'll have it.  I still have not received the stuff I bought for my mum but I'm hopeful they'll turn up tomorrow.  If it doesnt then I'll have to wait till monday which is a real bitch.  Company said if its not here by wednesday then to call them.  Luckily they're Australian so I have less of a reason to stress.  Unfortunately yesterday I got my dads gift and the piece of shit doesnt work.  The switch broke after my second test of it so I have to send it back tomorrow for a repair.  Thats like the worst thing that can happen, a gift coming in dodgy.  Oh well.  More patience is required from me.

A few entertaining things happened.  I mentioned the other day how my friend and I plan to make some more videos of our old action figure days, reminiscent of the first video I uploaded on tuesday.  Today we filmed one and it was a blast.  I'll edit it all together tomorrow and hopefully it turned out as good as I hoped.  Damn camera sometimes wouldnt focus on a close object, but I guess that'll add to the cheesy non professional look I was hoping for.

One other thing that surprised me is he also wanted to start up a random comic.  We'd spoke about it in the past but all my ideas were pretty bold ones that would need a lot of effort in drawing the whole story out.  And since Jed and I already have one of my ideas running, albeit slowly, he wanted to do one that pretty much had zero point to it, just done for fun.  So we tossed some ideas in for quick simple comic strips.  Sometimes they'll be random, most times they probably wont be funny as we arent going for academy jokes.  Its just BLAH on paper.  So heres the first one.  We'll be slapping up more since these are pretty easy to churn out.  So at least maybe 2 of you might gain some entertainment from this.

I've placed his blog link here before but here it is again so you all know who I'm talking about.  He likes to collect and draw too.  If the character in the comic has a passing resemblance to Yuri Sakazaki from King of Fighters, its because it might be here.  We havent thought up a name for the comic yet, but we tossed around some like Yuri's Adventures etc.  Its not going to be completely about her but she'll be in it.  If you have any ideas feel free to slap them up.
