Ugh! FREEEEDOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

So my freedom of 15 days off work is over, works started and all is going to hell there. Its getting better now though, I aparently cought the tail end of everything going downhill I guess. Either way we worked Sat, then me and Jen went out Sunday to Nottingham. I'll post more about it later. I just got off work, and classes will be starting up tomorrow. But i'll type things up at work so I can just copy and paste when I get home. Then - pretty much crash after class.
Later days

You Sir, are a retard -

What is You Tube known for? It is the epitome of all public copy write infringement known to man.. This is the email I just got -

"Video Disabled
A copyright owner has claimed it owns some or all of the audio content in your video World Of Warcraft Raid on Tarren Mill by NSS. The audio content identified in your video is Name Of The Game by The Crystal Method. We regret to inform you that your video has been blocked from playback, due to a music rights issue."

So a video that i've had up for 2 years now with almost 100k view, is just NOW getting nailed for "copy write infringement" (CI). Besides I thought it was CI only if you made a profit with it. Are you serious though! at least 90% of all videos on YouTube have some well known artist music in the back ground, and theres no way in hell some kid got permission to. And you don't need to pay some half-whit member of the "YouTube Content Identification Team" to do a retarded job like that. If your going to go after some guy like me who's just having fun with video - than ban that other 90%, cause if you did - YouTube wouldn't be anywhere it is today.

On the other hand - according to their web site, someone who owns permission to the copy write has to report it in order for a video to get taken down. Which would explain why YouTube is so flooded with copy write awesomeness. But that also means someone who own the rights to The Crystal Method song Name Of The Game, saw my video and went "You son-of-a-bitch" and was SO mad - they actually took the time out of their day to get it taken off a well known media source of the internet, Which I think is actually pretty cool. In any case - Piss off! and go find something honorable to do you smuck!

OMGZ NEOPETS

Actually I know nothing about neopets, but Jen has had a neopet online for years. So now that she found out they are selling Neopet toys at Burger King, its Da-Ja-Vu for me, and were constantly getting kids meals lol. DaJaVu cause when I was around 12 my mom went to every BK in Illinois for beanie baby toys. Lets just say she now has an entire plastic container (the kind you save a shit load of wrapping paper) full of beanie babys. Fast food as a kid was no "treat" for me though, and I didnt get fat so dont blame it on them! well after seeing the movie super size me, you can.

Took this awesome picture of our cat in the window last night. I love our new camera, it makes taking pictures more fun with clicky noises and ticks. Anyways here it is! Also just added a pic of my AV in SL to the right. Honestly though.. its to subtle and not me at all. Theres no explosions in the background, no sexual references defacing pop cultures in the background, AND NO COW BELL! Its alright for the first one though, I just now found that add-on. DarRrr

Me and Jen hung out for a bit in SL. And played warhammer of course, we keep trying to wake up at 8 am but that never works out... think I have to find a job that will accommodate to my sleeping needs and wants... guess thats not the Air Force huh? lol

Later Days!

Old logic with new wrapping paper = sexy time!

So after getting back from Iraq a couple weeks ago, I've subconciously decided to fall off the radar of society, and into the human natural habitat of lazyness, and it rules... lol I mostly blame this on MMO's because they're addicting as hell. My English research essay on video game addictio says so, and since I got a "B" on it, I must of said something right in it. In any case im slowly getting back into my groove of doing things and making stuff. Jen's all ready been doing a BUNCH of paintings. All of which you can see on her Manic Static blog (she still needs to add a bunch), which is cool. I've been dancing around the world of sculpties, and I think I made dinner last night! that means im being productive again!

So check it out, we always get asked to film more weddings in SL even though we havnt done it for over half a year. And we get comments all the time saying thanks for the tutorial videos which is wicked. But no one has actually shown us what they've made after watching our videos. And check it out, Tosebari Serpente in SL hooked us up with his first build - Carrot Armwarmers bitches! Which is better than the first peice of crap I built when I started (see right side picture). So hey great job, and keep it up! BTW I make saw arms and shit now... so dont think im still making these kick ass discolored wood men! DONT JUDGE ME!

As for the title: Ive decided to stay up all night instead of going to bed at 6am like me and Jen have been for the past week. I need to start getting into that daytime awake time thing again If I ever plan on not falling asleep at work :P just another week and 1/2 of free leave! w00t!

Later days!

I hate you with an iron fist....

I've never denyed the face that Macs are great. I just dont like them because of the limited about of software I can "aquire" for a Mac. With that said, I join sides with my fellow OS haters, in saying "Up yours Windows". After I installed a new hard drive a couple weeks ago, I randomly recieved a "Missing Ntoskrnli.exe" file. After googling on Jen's computer, and trying all the fixes, nothing worked. Having several hard drives I simply reinstalled it and lost nothing in the process.

This is besides the fact though. The only reason why windows is so popular and we all grew up with it, is because Microsoft was what they call "The first to market". The first big company of its type to hit the big market. Just like coke, and how many people in the South area of the US call any kind of soda "Coke". Either way, with all your money - make something worth a damn, and a product you can be proud to put your name on. Its not like this is my first run in with some BS Microsoft OS problem either.
Thats about it, I just needed to vent because I'll never understand how some products make it to market and are distributed to the masses. Kinda like the American Penny. I think once a year for the past 8 years someone has told me they are still trying to phase it out. Because the penny cost more to produce, than its even worth.
In any case! Its 1.70 a pound now!! w00t!! it was $2 bucks to the pound when we first got to the UK. Later days!

And WARHAMMER WINS...the MMORPG war

The past few days me and Jen have been playing WARHAMMER Online, its only right to finally do a proper post regarding how much more awesome it is than the slow bus of WoW. (which we also played to lv70, so we have a good grasp).

Eve looses because - even though its a great idea, sexy looking, and has one of the most wicked death penalty in the history of MMO's, it is also the most tedious games probably ever made. World of Warcraft is child's play, and after playing Warhammer, it feels like your playing a dumb down MMO for kids. While on the other hand.. Warhammer is constant war, fighting, and always watching your ass. The skill professions are even more fun than WoW's. Not to add the RVR is the way to go, and its much easier to raid the other teams side's of the world and raise hell. Granted it has just been released, so there are a bugs just like every game ever released. Speaking of which, what a better segue than now to upload my own WAR glitched pics.


So I keep attempting to get back into the graphic designing but Warhammer keeps destracting me lol. Im just dabbing into the programs, nothing to serious cause im learning it on my own which is a pain in the ass. Oh and Jens birthday was 2 nights ago, YAY! she didnt really wanna go out and do anything but I did buy her something while I was downrange. Its hard to buy birthday presants when your gone!

Anyways im going to continue to milk these free days I have off work by just being lazy for now! lol Have a good one! ...WAAAGH!!!

3D Graphics is a GO!

I just got done finishing my crash course into creating sculpties for Second Life, and damn is it a lot to learn. Making sculpties is easily one of the most intimidating things you can do in SL. Mostly because you see awesome graphics real designers do, and SL isnt use to that kind of bad ass work. Heres an example of good shit-

Now: my n00b attempt - Its a penguin with a mow-hawk thing... or just a melted down bird.

In any case, my first time building was just as bad. And if you know me, I've come from that - to now a store with random cyberpunk stuff that is actually making me money! so Yip Yip! Either way I dont think it gets worse than this atleast, so I cant go downhill very far. Not bad for my first day though!

After being downrange in Iraq for 4 months, ive fallen far behind everything that is going on. Theres nothing I hate more than joining a trend when it hits the peak. Either way I have a bunch of new 3D graphic programs I've been playing with, and i'm just seeing what I like to use best. The biggest challenge is making sure the model is even able to upload into SL. With Zbrush it seems to be the easiest, and also Lightwave, but I havnt jumped into that yet for texturing.

After hours of reading up on Sculpties and watching videos, I have to give a HUGE thanks to http://www.shiny-life.com/. Where they have some great tutorials, and the Zbrush converter you will need to upload into SL. I'm pretty burnt out with that crap now so it looks like me and the wifey are gonna hit up the WARRRHAMMERRR!!!.

Later days!

Weee!! Crap load of updates

First off I'm work until the 23ed of October!!!!! SoI'm gonna start hardcore geeking it up.
Now that I'm finally home I've been working at getting back into the groove of things. Me and Jen have been around each other each second of the day, started playing video games together again, and now hanging out in our office that we organized. To include Jen getting her new computer!! and of course it has a million LED lights on it.

I also bought all kinds of goodies for mine. 3 new hard drives, and 2 new hard drive coolers, which look more like a car stereo amp. This also means I made a total mess of the living room. The coolers also come with 2 LED fans each in front.


and HOLY CRAP, for someone like me, you don't realize how much you missed bass until you go on a 4 month deployment. I've been constantly listening to Winamp techno, house, and electronic music every moment I get. I also just got 3D max studio again, i'm looking at really getting into it and possibly make something of it, Its just shit I really enjoy and have a passion for. Just like film, I just have to learn this first.

And just like many geeks, I gotta have a variety of gaming going on. In which case me and Jen started up WARHAMMERRRRR \m/ so far its pretty bad ass, why? Because its constant war! and you dont have to wait for it. Unlike WoW (even on a PvP server) you dont have to wait for battles, more so a group to play with because War sets you up automatically.

**Major dork alert**Now with the game just releasing we have seen out handful of bugs. which is great because they're always amusing to run into. Heres 2 of which we and the wifey ran into. 1st one is a jacked up avatar running. 2ed one is a rock spell that was cased on her, and it just sticks constantly even when running around and jumping.
.
I will be updating a lot more than I use to finally! Laterdays!
