Beauty of Flight
This video was something I recorded in Flight Sim X (FSX) just for fun. The in-game footage was recorded with FRAPS (which slows down the frames per second). Since I’ve recently upgraded my computer, I was thinking of making another one of these machinimas as the quality will be that much better. New video card comes in a few days which may make those wishes an even more tempting prospect. Stay tuned. Read More
Bad Driver
I made this video as a test for the camera placement possibilities within Grand Theft Auto IV’s PC-based editing system. It’s a great editor with lots of control and a few frustrating limitations. But overall, this has been a very fun experience. For those who don’t know, the game records 20-30 seconds at a time. During that time, it records everything in the game within say a 100 foot radius around your character. While recording, you have the basic 3rd person... Read More
If you forget me
I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget... Read More
Canine Compound
Every morning, someone is out in the courtyard behind my bedroom window screaming “Duke,” in inadequately-hushed tones repetitively in some kind of valiant attempt to overcome the human-dog language barrier. Either that, or he is attempting to train a dog on the spot without supplying it with any commands. The poor dog is probably thinking, “Yes, my name is Duke. And until you decide to ask me to do something, I’m going to run through the mud here and... Read More
You All Everybody
I’m in the middle of watching a marathon of Lost episodes from Season 1 through 6 and I’m finding that even though I never really liked Charlie, the washed up heroin-addicted rock star, before, I particularly don’t like him now that I’ve just seen Get Him To The Greek’s character of Aldous Snow played by the hilarious Russel Brand. Both are British, both play the same kind of character, but Aldous actually has some wisdom and intelligence behind... Read More
A is to B
Blogging can be a rewarding and/or frustrating source of happiness/malaise. Forests require trees, fortune seems pale, fury seems petty and sometimes you just don’t feel like a good enough writer to compete with other talented bloggers using their accounts to the fullest. For example, let’s say that person A and person B both have blogs. They became a fan of each other in their personal lives and the two of them started dating. But then person B decided to...
