All right! A new website design! This was long over-due. So what’s new? Well, first off everything is organized into categories now (located along the top). Within each category are (usually) sub-categories that will take you to the various content that is found on the site. The gallery has been broken up by type and the images are hosted on photobucket now; projects contain my movies, programs, animations and translations, etc. The misc section contains nothing right now but will later contain everything that doesn’t fall in on any of the other categories.

There are some more things to come in the near future, including a history of this site (a look back at how the site has progressed throughout the years). So look forward to it!

Well, everyone, this is the end for this short little movie. I have finished all I’m going to do with it.

Work continues on the movie!

I have filmed the final live action scene to appear in the movie. The acting is so bad that it should be funny to see. I would do takes over and over to try and get the acting better but keep in mind that this movie is not meant to be taken all that seriously. It’s supposed to be cheesy. And besides, most gamers aren’t actors to begin with.

I ran into another snag earlier today. It seems that FRAPS, the software I use to capture the screen, has stopped working. I have yet to figure out WHY it randomly decided to stop. I can’t seem to fix it though.

It took awhile but I finally beat Vundo and got my machine back to normal. Production has resumed.

I went ahead and filmed the first live action scene.

Unfortunately, as you can see from the picture, it’s rather dark. I hope the rest of the live action footage will not turn out so dark.

I’m already having technical difficulties on the first day! Can you believe this?

While getting all the software installed I somehow contracted the trojan Vundo. It has proved incredibly difficult to remove completely from my machine.

To make matters worse, a cleaner I got to remove Vundo has more or less wiped out Windows. I’m in the process of restoring my computer and getting everything back up and running.

Production cannot continue until I get everything back up and running.

Time for something a little different. Instead of a computer program I’ve decided to try my fate at creating a short little movie dealing with Ninja Gaiden. I’m calling it “The Five Gamer Stages of Ninja Gaiden” and it involves what “stages” a gamer goes through while playing one of the most difficult NES games ever created.

Please stay tuned to this exciting new project!

This post is very disturbing and I would recommend everyone read it. I bring it up now because we’re entering what Sears is calling “Operation Fresh Start” (or, alternatively, “Operation Spring Cleaning”). As those who work there know, this operation involves everyone cleaning the store from top to bottom. Everything from dusting to repainting fixtures. I post this as a caution and as a “please take care” while you’re doing this stuff.

This post below was taken by an ex-Sears employee from 2004 during a topic about cleaning the stores.
