Extreme Blogging - Steam Halo Vs. Explod NAMM

So Now Now I Haven't Even Posted It On Twitter


I just finished eating a chili-cheese dog and I am now drinking a Coca-Cola Classic while I type this blog.
 

Gaming Addiction

 

Consumer Whore:

   
In my last blog I posted the games I had bought during the Steam Holiday Sale. Well, I ended up buying a few more...
 
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
Command and Conquer: Kane's Wrath
Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars
Fallout 3 - Game of the Year
Jade Empire
Killing Floor
Silent Hill: Homecoming
Street Fighter IV
 
I need to get me one of those Press accounts that has access to all of the games for free...
 

Streaming games over the internet:

 
Here are a few choice words: Blurry. Unresponsive.
 
I will say no more.
 

Games recently finished:

(note: I use a 4 star rating system - not fun, occasionally fun, mostly fun, super fun.) 
 


Halo 3 [ 1/07/2009 ]
(Yup, I really hadn’t played it yet. Great weapons but annoying allies & enemies.)


VVVVVV [ 1/11/2009 ]
(Ridiculously difficult platforming with some interesting gameplay mechanics. Fun!)

Speaking of VVVVVV...
 

VVVVVV!

 
Sometimes I play video games. Sometimes I talk. What's really crazy though is that sometimes I talk and play video games at the same time. It's insane.
 

  
See?
 
That's an 8 part playthrough of VVVVVV, although only 3 parts are up at the moment. I'll be uploading a new part each day. Take pleasure in my frustration.

New Music


I haven't had a lot of time to work on music, but while my computer wasn't working I spent some time with an iPhone app called Bleep!Box. Here's what came of that: 
 

THA - Explod



  
Download MP3
 
It's not just a happy tune, it's also my ringtone.

I was in NAMM


I'm going to be at the NAMM convention in Anaheim tomorrow. It's a trade show for music production stuff. Synths, guitars, midi controllers, mixing consoles, etc. I shall be taking pics and recording videos, so perhaps some of that will get posted in my next blog. I'll be messing around with uStream, though probably not live. I'll simply be using it to capture and upload videos at the show instead of having to wait until I'm home to upload them. 
 
If any of you have interest in a certain piece of music equipment, such as a Haaken Continuum or Gibson Robot Guitar, post it's name and I'll see if I can find it at the show and fondle it.

@Hamst3r:  Say hi to Sonic Foundry crew at the Sony Stand.  Ask them if they have any new plans for Acid.

@SeriouslyNow: I shall deliver them a crippling fist-bump for you, because ACID and Sound Forge are good programs.

Awww. How are you getting into NAMM? I would love to go one year. Anyways give us an update if the Beat Thang is around this year. The name is ridiculous, yes but the hardware they showed last year looked incredibly promising. Also DS's Mopho keyboard looks awesome as well.  
 
EDIT: Ohh, hands one impressions of Teenage Engineering's OP-1 would be awesome as well.

@sup909: Funnily enough, I can't get into NAMM, but I know several people who know other people who can get into NAMM. I've been twice now that way. I go as a "Retail Employee". :P
 
Anyways, I took pics and videos. Some short vids are up on my Youtube channel. Pics are up on Facebook and Twitter. I think I have a few more I haven't upped and I'll repost the stuff my friend took with his superior camera device.
