Taking a vacation from a vacation

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!

BlogOrly?

Evening chaps! Can't believe that my summer vacation is already 2 weeks old! Many great things have been stirring up here at the office (and by office, I mean basement). Prehistorik is going smoothly, I've been able to catch up with my friends, I've been able to get out and play some tennis, and of course, I caught up on some videogames. I'm playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter atm. It's a good game, but very frustrating at times. My friend and I have also discovred a cool website for french gamers. Basically, this site is a database of all the french gamers who own Xboxes and Xbox360s. My friend and I would be interested in doing a podcast for that site, so I'll give some info when we get an answer. I hope you guys are on vacation or almost on vacation, see you later!

Da Vinci Code

I just got back from the Da Vinci Code. Now that I have no school, I can finally catch up on movies/games and Flash. The movie was great. Despite all the bad reviews, I still wanted to see it. Now, I am not hard to please movie-wise, and that's why I loved it. I can see why some people hated it. Some parts of it were confusing and some parts seemed badly scripted, but STILL, I think it was enjoyable and the atmosphere was really interesting. It was mysterious and yet, interesting to hear the theories about Christ. I would recommend it to anyone who isn't close-minded about Christinanity.

In other news, I've restarted playing World of Warcraft. I had to take a break from it to study, but now I am back and I am once again addicted. And of course, when I'm not playing, I animate Prehistorik!

IT'S OVER!!!

Oh God. After countless hours of work, many nights of long hard work in which I had no idea what I was doing, my college term is over. I don't think I'm failing anything, but the final marks haven't come in yet. I can finally work intensively on Prehistorik. I hope to finish the 1st episode before the end of June. I got most of the voices in so the deadline is possible. Other than that, I am considering doing a couple of touch ups on the site. Make it a bit more cleaner and maybe change some fonts here and there. I'll be updating more now, but I still wanna wish everyone a great summer and don't waste your time!!
