City Seventeen Outbreak

Just a quick update to show you a picture I edited today:

By the way, that’s the “citizen zombie” skin I made. I haven’t uploaded it anywhere because there’s already a similar skin on GarrysMod.org, although it’s got some flaws.

And on a totally unrelated note, Batman: Arkham Asylum’s sequel has just been confirmed. And, judging from the teaser site, it’s gonna include Two-Face.
The original was one of my favorite games of this year, so I’ll be looking forward to this one.

“Chessboard” – LOST Season 6 Spanish Promo

I bet some of you might have already seen this on the Internet, but still, sharing it justifies my break of “bimonthly posts” streak.

SPOILERS AHOY

Oh hey guys, look what I got

Early Christmas 2009!

Gave myself a little expensive treat after the crazy week.
From left to right: Modern Warfare 2 for PS3, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Season Two and Lost Season Five (both having just been shipped), and also Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End. Rug not included. Almost completely wiped my savings, but it was worth it.
I’ve actually had Modern Warfare 2 for a couple days now, beat the Campaign and all, and I can tell you it’s amazing. Try it out if you haven’t, you owe yourself at least that much.

Temper Tantrum

I wanted to integrate this into some sort of Robot Insurance-esque comic series, but I’ve been too busy to do it. Maybe I’ll retroactively add it later, yes?
Still studying. First test is tomorrow and I feel I’m far from ready.

Trick or treat

I said I’d try and that I wouldn’t promise anything.
Yeah, it’s been a pretty hectic month and the worst is just around the corner, as in a week I have my first college exams – and I’ve barely studied so far. Thus, expect little to no news from me during the next two weeks.
I also missed Halloween with all this work piling up. It’s not much of a tradition around here, but it’s as fun a holiday as April Fools, because you get to mess around with everything. I might have not got anything made in time, but today I was working on this little fella:

Headcrab Zombie Mythos!!I bet you can’t recognize due to all the blood and, uh, exposed ribcages on the chest, but this little undead fella is actually… me!
I decided to skin a headcrab zombie to look like me, just for fun, and I came up with that. I personally think it’s pretty nice – even if it’s hard to recognize, it’s still a nice change from the usual white-clad zombies.

The skin’s hexed and ready, but I was trying to make a SNPC – that is, a working Garry’s Mod NPC. Still, I’ve been having trouble and had to ask for some help, so I’m not sure if this will ever be released.
Still, lemme tell ya… it’s pretty fun to blast my undead self’s headcrab off.

So, well, wish me luck for college. I’ll try to post news, but it’s not gonna be easy.

EDIT: I’m now thinking of doing Zombie Looshkin and Zombie Nemi (the original orange skin). I won’t do Delirium because his skin sucks is of a Rebel, not a citizen.

Whatever Happened to Mythos?

Based on real events.

Nah, just kidding!

It’s been a month, eh? Sorry about that, really. I wanted to make this post earlier, but I didn’t have time.
I’m in college now. It’s been actually pretty fun, but also a wild ride – I have little to no free time; in fact, I barely have had time to study (and I’ve wasted that time anyway). And that’s why, instead of doing all the things I’ve promised, I’ve been absent.

I can’t promise that it’ll change anytime soon, but I’ll try to post some news, okay? Have fun, guys.

May the Force be with Obama

May the Force be with him.

The Force is strong in this one.

A promise is a promise

Mythos (Stubble)

Like I said I would, I’m finishing up the blog’s new and revamped About page. It’s missing one profile and I’ll probably tweak it up eventually, but it’s good enough for you to take a look. ;)

EDIT: Chrisordie’s profile is now up.

Back from the dead

It’s been one month since my last post – sorry about that. I’ve had a lot in my plate recently; in fact, for me, August was like a whole season of Lost in terms of twists, turns, sadness and despair.

But now, I’m back in action!

As you can see, I’ve finally started to change the blog up a bit. It’s got a new theme – Garland, which coincidentally is the same theme as PoB’s. Honestly, I didn’t even notice until I’d picked it; it felt oddly familiar, but I only realized it was PoB’s after comparing. Still, Michael doesn’t mind and he didn’t make the theme, so it’s not like it matters.
I’ve already done a quick reorganization of the categories, but it’s not really a job well done, so I might have to go back to that. Next up is the About page, which, for the past two-or-so years, has never actually been made.

Keep your eyes peeled, good changes are to come. I hope.

Unforeseen Consequences

Hey there. Yes, I know, still no changes to the blog – I’ve been busy. Yes, in fact, I am always busy.

Anyway, I took some time from my oh-so-busy schedule to indulge in a little experiment. Remember Control? For that comic, I had the idea of demonstrating Alyx’s point of view when the G-Man activates her ‘programming’.
Well, today, I was sitting here in my desk, busy as usual, and then I suddenly realized: why not remake Control in audio form?
I happen to have Audacity, a very neat audio editing tool, and GCFScape, a program that allows me to extract files from Source engine games, which is what I use to make skins and stuff like that. And some of those files are the audio files from the games, from voiceovers to sound, so… I had all the right tools.

A couple hours later, I ended up with this .wav file. It’s nothing too fancy, but it was a fun endeavor and, personally, I think it didn’t turn out so bad. So, if you’d like, take a look – or rather a listen – and download the file.

I would get a Space Upgrade for the blog if it wasn’t so expensive.
