Prepare for the Future

In a distant wasteland, a lone wanderer approaches...

One of my weekend side projects is now complete. I'm in the process of making it presentable (i.e. I suck at photography and must spend a lot of time in Photoshop). 

If work like this continues, I'll have to get a photo-sharing account to upload everything to. For now, the images will be hosted here; hopefully I'll have everything up shortly.

I'm quite proud of how it turned out, and can't wait to share it. Now that I have some more confidence in my craft, I should be able to buckle down and get a few more projects and complete. More on that shortly.

Rifflix Night

Like you have anything better to do.

Now that I'm back from job training, I can get back in the groove and finish up some projects I've been working on. At least, I hope so. Work's still real nasty right now, so most of my time off work is spent chillin', ya dig?

Speaking of which, Rifflix Night on Xbox Live was inaugurated two weeks ago. It's an officialized communification of a tradition my brother (Wrecklaimer) and I started a while back. We'd watch a movie together over Xbox Live using Netflix instant streaming. Inevitably, we turned to mocking the films.

It's pure gold. Ba-zing!

XBL friends MichiganSniper5 and ImperialPie joined me for a viewing of "Leprechaun in the Hood." After some screwing around, trying to figure out how to get everyone watching the same thing, we had a great time. Unfortunately, Wrecklaimer had suspended his Netflix account on account of his school schedule, so it was just us three.

Thus, a tradition began. I've received some positive feedback from friends who want to join in, and a few questions about the whole thing. Here's a general overview/FAQ:

Blu-ray Harvest

As a fanboy, it is my duty to offer baseless speculation on media or products that are months away from release. The hallowed release of the “Star Wars” saga on Blu-ray is no exception.

I may be a fanboy, but I’m a very selective one. Too many fans get stuck in a rut as Original Trilogy-defending curmudgeons, decrying anything “Star Wars” released after 1983 to be sacrilegious crap. And they’re mostly right, except for a few instances. They just need to remove the lightsaber from their Sarlacc pit and lighten up.
