Final weeks

I'm currently bathing in disgusting final exams juices, so I haven't even opened Flash yet. I can't wait for school to finish, so I can really sink my teeth into the first Epi of Prehistorik. This week I printed out a huge poster and hung it on my wall, its really nice, so I'll post a picture asap.

Yesterday I watched the season finale of The O.C. I've watched every season and I really like them all, even though this one was weak in many ways. And the season ends pretty dramatically, with the death of a major character. I'm curious to see if the see how the show will survive next season, now that all the kids are getting seperated to go into different colleges. We shall see!

Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to wish every mom a happy mother's day! I don't think to many mothers check out the site though.

I have been getting more voices in for Prehistorik: Episode 1. Everything is going smoothly and I hope to have more time to work on it soon. I've also brought a picture of the whole prehistorik cast to the a copy store, so I'm getting a huge poster of that tomorrow.

E3 Week!

I'm a huge gamer, so I thought it was important to talk about the E3 in my blog. E3 is the biggest videogame exposition. Every year, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft announce their upcoming products and during the week, people can test them. This year was a very important E3, because Sony and Nintendo showcased their new consoles, the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3. Both consoles are playable and all I can say is, you can count on me to be camping in front of a Best Buy for a Nintendo Wii the day it launches. The Wii will reinvent gaming, by making the controller in the shape of a remote and instead of aiming, stearing, piloting with an analog stick, users just have to move the remote. Almost like a virtual reality machine. In my opinion, Nintendo definately delivered. A huge surprise from Nintendo was the announcement of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the third installment in the Smash Bros. franchise. They released a trailer, and in it, we see....Solid Snake. Yes, Snake will be a playable character and I can't wait to see what other third party characters Nintendo will be able to offer. I also liked what Sony showed with the PS3, however, the 500$-600$ price tag turned me off. I am no longer considering buying it at launch, maybe when the price lowers. Even then, it will depend what games are available for the system. As for Microsoft, they announced some cool games, including Halo3! Can't wait to play that one as well. But the 2007 date showed at the end of the trailer was a bit deceiving, but understandable.

This week is a pretty busy week because classes are coming to an end, so I must prepare for the final evaluations. I had the time to work a bit on Prehistorik. Music and voices are coming in slowly but surely, and I can't wait to start animating the whole episode. More as it unfolds my friends.

Pico Day!

Last Sunday was Pico day, a day to celebrate Tom Fulp's birthday, the founder of Newgrounds.com. Pico is a character that he created to make a couple of games in Flash. At the time, these games were revolutionary for Flash and people quickly fell in love with Pico. Now, every April 30th, people submit Flash animations and games that feature Pico, kinda like a birthday present, which I think is really cool. Some of these submissions are still on Newgrounds.com's front page, so check it out! In other news, last Thursday I had an oral presentation in my English class and we had to teach something we learned in our college program. I presented how to make a Flash animation in 3 steps. I did not get my grade yet, but I think it went great.

Also, I've been working hard on Prehistorik: Episode 1. The script is written and the voices will be recorded shortly. My good friend Glenn Zeruth is working on a theme song for the series, and from what I've heard, it's amazing so far. In other crappy news, my throat started to itch pretty badly today and now my nose is stuffed up...hope this won't develop into a cold.
