that pretty much sums it up… More specificly…

• we’ve begun actual production on parts of the movie. since everyone’s scheduals are different (and we can’t all just quit our jobs and do this full time yet…) it’s sorta difficult to do a project this large.
• most of the site is ready to launch. we’ve got our project wonderful account activated & approved. —->
  and now we’re just finishing up certain parts (like the new forums) and re-thinking some of the features. then it’ll be time to flip the switch and start advertising. I’ve got an idea for the first contest…
• sleeping? well, sorta… if you count those 20 minute naps I get every night…
• over the summer I took the option to switch to 10 hour days to actually have a free day to work on the site/show. so now fridays are officially Highscore (and video game…) days.

FYI Ghostbusts & Infamous are two very awesome, very addictive games…

This weekend I’m planning to get everything done, and officially for realz open up the site public.

It’ll be neat to really take the show to the world (rather than the public access stations it runs on) and see what the world at large really thinks of it.

Got some new fancy pants gear to make the show look a little better…

And some clever new additions to both site and show are in store! Don’t miss it!

Makin’ the Christmas special!

SHOOP DA WHOOP!

but Mrs. is the abbreviation for Missus.

Shouldn’t Mrs. be short for “Misters”?

There’s no R in missus.

Or I could post about that crazy new japanese technology that’s letting peoples dreams be displayed by a computer.

Or I could post about the detroit bailout getting approved and what It means for the economy.

I could rant about the massive layoffs and their effect on the videogame industry.

I could post about the niffty conversation Tom & I just had using the new google SMS feature.

But I’m not going to.

I’m going to post the quote of the day.

“We’ve got enough blankets to feed the homeless.” - my mom

Soak it in.

It’s December 10th.

I’m in Pennsylvania.

Something is wrong.

At first, I’ll be out at a dinner, pub, in the woods, kidnapped, or some other place where inspiration strikes me. This turns into a vague idea for an episode. Next, I’ll bounce the idea off of Devon, Eric, and possibly a few other people. We’ll rough out a plot outline and montage, which I’ll turn into a rough draft for a script. Next, Devon and Eric will go over the script in moderate detail, and suggest ideas for gags, non-sequiturs, montage shots & music, and dialog. I’ll write up a second draft, and then we’ll do it again. This may repeat a few more times until the script is considered good enough for production. Now on the day of filming, the script is generally ignored, and referred to as an outline. After several things go wrong (Costumes or props are missing, camera man doesn’t show up or is late, cast members get sick or leave early, mics don’t work, etc.) we’ll finish up shooting somewhere around 2am, everyone highfives, and goes home to bed.

The next day I’ll give everyone a call and tell them what we forgot to shoot, and we’ll come up with an idea on how to fake it and make it look ok. I’ll spend the next 3-4 evenings ripping footage and editing it in premiere, after fx, photoshop, ultra, virtual dub, audition, audacity, and/or any assortment of other programs depending on the needs of the episode. When the whole thing is done (taking up roughly 90 gigs on my hard drive), it’s compressed to divx and xvid copies and uploaded all over the internet, run through winavi, and a dvd copy is made and sent to whatever tv stations we’re partnered with at the time. I’ll let everyone know it’s done, then everyone comes over to my place, we watch the episode, highfive again, and play smash brothers while talking about what we want to do for the next episode.
