Words I believe I invented.

Well, I figure I've done my part for the community/world; without particularly being noticed for it.

Thats right.

I claim I invented the widespread internet used words;


Megative

1. The opposite of Negative
2. Can also be used as Megatively
   

Awesomic

1. Awesome, but also sonic.
2. Something awesome happening fast.

Boredomity

To be bored for what appears to be eternity.

Frekerized

Anything created/thought of/pondered by ME.


Do I have proof for this? maybe so.

http://www.freewebs.com/freker/

A site I used to use back in the summer of 2005 when I was at college, before either the new series of Doctor Who begun or the Hitchhikers Guide film was made...
Note the used words; 'Awesomicly frekerized'.

Distinct use of 'Boredomity' on front page, awesomic further down. Made to replace Freeweb site.

Also for those lucky enough to use Live Spaces and know me

Compared to the other dates of the words in Google, my word mentions are about the most clearly used and earliest dated.

Now with this page, Google should bring it up as a top result too. Let the whole world know!

Take that Internet!

Mission Trying to Draw Differently

Over the last few years, I've noticed, I've developed some BAD habits with my current drawing style. It wasn't until reading Scott McCloud's 'Making Comics' that I realised this.

Also, I've created a sudden love for the artwork of Bruce Timm and Shane Glines. They both worked for DC and Warner Brothers as character designers. Their work is brilliant and instantly recognisible. My theory is, if I'm to be an animator, then I must immitate other peoples styles because I must do as it will be my job in the future.

But also, I want to develop a much more improved style than I currently use. It wasn't until looking through my portfolio and storyboards for uni that I realised I stick to a 'safe' template for character design. I don't want to do that anymore, I want to loosen up.

I've had a few ideas for series and developed a few ideas that were tucked away in my head. However, they all need varied styles. So, the quest moves on to attempt to develop a new trademark style that blends in with the current artistic style of animation these days.

Anyway, any doodles which I think are successful I will post on the MTTDD blog which link can be found here.

God of War is in the Monitor....

Part 1 of if videogames were retro text adventures series.
This is your fault, Darren.

SideQuest

Thanks Darren ;D

There are no original ideas.

And this is one of them.

Cloverfield; The Game Possibilities

Well, weeks ago, I saw Cloverfield. It was amazing, just yesterday I saw Rambo, that was also quite amazing. Ten minutes ago I played Crisis Zone which was also quite good.

HOWEVER;

Cloverfield+Rambo+Time Crisis= Wow.

Now, just in deeper detail, those of you who have seen Cloverfield...(and those who have the misfortune to come across this blog)
I'd just like to talk on my theory how Cloverfield would be an awesome lightgun game.

Now, if you've seen Cloverfield, the main genius is that it is based on the fact that the government is rewatching recorded video evidence evidence for the case designated; Cloverfield.
Basically, something colossal, starts destroying New York in the old Godzilla charm but actually made as if it was real and happening.

Now, people have talked about a Cloverfield game, but constantly talk about the 'lack of plot' (which is rubbish IMO)
Now, take the fancy camera angles of Cloverfield (with the handi-cam feel) and shove that into a Time Crisis like gameplay.

And basically you would get a fictional game called 'Cloverfield: Operation Hammer Down'

Make the levels separate recorded tapes off of the army's headsets all managing to figure out weaknesses with the creature and the 'offspring'. Some soldiers you will play as will die, some will survive, or some the helmet would just be found during the aftermath. Maybe, clues should be left in the behavior of the soldiers head twisting or crazy, shellshocked whispers as the camera bobs and occasionally distorts the picture whilst you try to shoot something. Maybe some could defy his own orders and actually get involved with saving the public or running towards his own family.

I'm no game designer, but this is an awesome idea IMO. The film Cloverfield is basically a 'Film on Rails'; telling the story from one perspective. A Rail shooter would be perfect; on the internet, others have said that a FPS or a strategy would work, no, Cloverfield is MADE to be the most awesome next-gen rail shooter in videogame history.

For a basic idea of what I'm on about; Watch the above clip and imagine blended with the crazy military scenes from Cloverfield. Or, like, watch the clip below (But, y'know...only if you've seen the movie)


I mean, come on, there could even be a section where you briefly see 4 people dodging and running past cars whilst one holds a camcorder.
This could be very awesome. Maybe one of the best film licenced (minus Lego) games, ever.

The Matrix has my PS3

Ah, yeah. My PS3.
This week I bought a copy of the film 'Operation Condor' one of the most funniest Jackie Chan films I have ever seen. Looking forward to finally owning a copy of it, I put it in my PS3.

And everything went green. Thats right, that green like from The Matrix. Obviously, some problem with the scart lead as if I pushed it down a bit, I would get the right colours, then lose the sound and next of all; It went blue and red with odd purple at the background.

There seems to be some obvious error in DVDs being played on PS3 and I hope it gets solved soon. Of course, this would make watching The Matrix trilogy a lot more involving.

'Latrid'

Just what are computers beginning to mean to me?
I beginning to hate my computer and the internet as a whole.
Yes, there is a lot to do on the internet and a lot of free things to get, almost all digital.
I've ended up collecting things, just for the hell of it, but they all seem meaningless, the websites I go for news and downloads daily, pointless.
It all has no meaning, I'm not sure where my time is going and enough isn't enough.
I don't particularly socialise on the 'net, because I don't believe in it.
I have 4 days off a week and most is spent on this cursed internet or just the laptop.
I'm doing nothing creative, nothing really worthwhile, things that will NEVER get me anywhere in life.
Its a whole love/hate relationship with the internet, its not fun. It appears fun, but it isn't, its just timewasting.
Problem is; I can't stop, I can't damned concentrate on anything else either.
I'm really beginning to hate the internet and what it stands for, because, fantastic as it may be, it just stands for nothing.
Maybe I should start monitoring the time on this evil, timewasting thing, because, I'm ALWAYS bored on the internet, never happy enough, always wanting more.

This of course; does not affect consoles, as Earth Defence Force 2017 is one of the finest, original games I have ever played.

Internet Mean Time

Well, I've come up with another concept. Maybe a little un-original, but y'know that old argument about 'time being man-made'?
Well, I'm thinking of there being a separate time zone for the internet, people on the internet. You see, apparently; 'Time flies when you're having fun' right, thats valid.
BUT
I'm not always having 'fun' on the internet. But boy, does time fly.

Heres my following theory:


Its not any work of genius or anything, its just what I think. If I don't look at a clock whilst on the internet (only browsing), the time goes faster than playing on the XBOX or the PS2 etc.
You no longer see hours pass. Things are counted in half hours and odd minutes when you glance down (up on my desktop) and see the time. You NEVER hardly ever see the clock turn to an hour.
Okay, fine, so I wasn't looking at the clock, yeah, but at least I have a basic idea how long I've been playing a game when I'm on a console.
Recently I've been having 'little talks' on MSN that last over 2 hours or so.
For example, one of my friends saw most of Doctor Who series 3 online, whilst I just 'browsed' on the internet, really doing nothing fun at all.
Doctor Who episodes are 45 mins each approx!
That means, 13 episodes...(he only saw 12) must come up to about 4 or 5 hours or so and we talked between the show and I had done NOTHING!
So judging by that, the internet has no time.

Internet Mean Time, right? Gottit?

Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3...

Heres a test on this little thingummy jig I have at the bottom of my Firefox window. Yeah, I know, the blog hasn't had anything added onto it for ages. I'm currently in the midst of working again (during the summer hols) Selfishly saving up to buy;

1. A Xbox 360 Premium console (For EDF, firstly)
2. A PS3 (I don't care what people are saying, Naughty Dog and Insomniac are still part of Sony and getting one of these is the only way I'm going to play their games.)


I also want to buy a copy of Crime Traveller and Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) Reeves and Mortimer version.
Right, lets see if this bugger works!



This made me lol, click for larger.

George and out-on-a-limb

Hello, long time, no post.
I'd just like to say and discuss about the dire 'cartoon/funnies' pages in the Sun, especially the cartoon, 'George and Lynn'.

I've started reading my horoscopes and I've come across this cartoon, mostly featuring two scantly dressed women chatting about their husbands. I soon realised that neither of these women were called 'George', in fact, I don't think I've even seen George.
Just two women, in spas, baths, having massages and with breasts out slagging off their husbands.


After examining the above panel, see if you agree with me...has some artist illustrated an erotic lesbian romance story and some ex BBC Radio comedy writer been asked to fill in the speech bubbles?

Genius, I was going to do this

EDIT: Well, I did!

Biscuit Tricks

I tell you, ten minutes ago, I sworn I found the Holy Grail.
There it was, shining in all its glory...the White Chocolate Digestive...oh wait, no, no. Its just a bloody upside down Jammie Dodger in bad lighting.
Realizing this; I was immediately pissed off and to make it even worse; I wanted a white chocolate covered digestive.
I typed up 'White Chocolate Digestive' in Google. Apparently they do exist...now, why, oh why, can't I buy them?
You would of thought that a White Chocolate Digestive would be very popular. I mean, they have Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate and even Mint covered chocolate digestives.
Just imagine the taste of a White Chocolate Digestive dipped in a lukewarm cup of tea...ahh, heaven. But those hypocrites decide to release every flavour of chocolate digestive but White Chocolate.

F**k you, Jammie Dodger, just f**k you, thats for acting like a tempting, beautiful, explosion of taste that would be a White Chocolate Digestive biscuit oh yeah...and killing Johnny from 2 Pints. B**stard, I'll never look at you the same way again.
