Took two days this week to spend some time with my dad at our cottage, or as we frenchies like to call it, our "chalet". He works out here building a high speed Internet service using Wi-Fi technology, which I am using right now to type up this blog post! I had fun, even though I had to work here. Coming back in town tonight.
Earlier this afternoon I was watching this documentary on Disney. The show consisted of a bunch of analysts that were talking about all the flaws from past Disney movies. They were showing some intesting stuff like how the writer of the song for the opening theme of Aladdin actually submitted 2 different versions and Disney chose the version that was actually racist and that Agrabah is a barbaric village with mean vendors who will cut off the hand of anyone who steals food from them. The analyst said that in 1 country they cut off the hand after 3 convictions, but still, that's pretty weird. They talked about other stuff such as male authority versus female, asians, black people and such. Some of you might be saying: come on, it's a cartoon for kids. Yeah it is, but don't forget, cartoons don't act on their own. Adults write the stories and they don't have special rules to follow...think about that.
In gaming news, I've stopped playing World of Warcraft. After almost 80 hours of play, I decided to switch RPGs. I am now into Guild Wars: Factions. My friends started playing so I decided to jump ships before they got too far. It's quite fun, even though I haven't seen much of it yet!
In my previous post I talked about a gaming podcast. Well, the site administrator asked us to make a demo podcast and send it to them to evaluated if it is good enough for the site. We will record it tomorrow, and we are prepared, so I hope everything will work out because my friend and I are both very motivated to make a kick ass show.
I've been having trouble gathering all the voices for Prehistorik. I took an important decision and decided to make some voice acting changes. I'm trying to get back on track, but it's hard when I don't have the support I need for the project.
On that note, wish me luck!
