Awaiting uni

So lifes passing weeks at a time, its horrible, when i was young i would live for the day, nowadays i live for the week, dreading what the futures going to be like. Maybe its just cause i spend my weekends at work and my weeks being a bum. But yeah when uni comes along i'm sure i'll get my day to day life back but for now i gotta go crissy shopping or that will just fly by 2. Have you done your crissy shopping yet? if so whats did u get me? =D.
Curently busy'ing myself with an animation titled toothbrust troubles, i chucked some screenies up in the animation section =)
Also just completed my first poster project, which i am proudly displaying on my door =) very happy with how it turned out, will chuck it up in the animation section soon =)

Xbox death

It was a busy few weeks gaming wise, iv had friends from all over letting me borrow various xbox games to have a go, since iv never owned an xbox, and there are a few really cool ones, played the entire fable, and i must say its such an awsome game, and i've been checking out FABLEII on youtube and its a must buy.. only problem is i just got the red rings of death from my ebay bought 360 =(, good thing is it still has 2 weeks warinty covering the ringsofdeath yeeew lol so sending it away and hopefully it comes back close to the release date of fableII lol. but yeah apart from playing games and watching older animations, oh and celebrating my 20th bday with a 5litre keg of Heineken(i shared a bit lol) iv been animating for a game iv been wanting to make for quite some time. be fun to see what the end product will be once everything is complete.. not that i see the end for a while to come haha.

XBOX yaaaaay!

my xbox arrived at about 12pm today, and iv been playing CastleCrashers for the past 5 hours, definitely worth the 1200 ms point =D. me and my little brother have been 'CastleCrashing' our way to what i think would be the first part of the game. if you have an xbox get into that online market place and buy CastleCrashers. So yeah didn't get any animating done today =( sob, think the game box of goodness will keep me busy for a while longer lol still kind of a PlayStation fan thought, since Microsoft wants me to give them all my money, i mean your wireless controller can't be charged and runs on AA's the charger costs 30 bucks... that's after you pays 80 for the controller.. and the live arcade is about $10 a month, or you can go on a deal plan, but i hear that PS3 doesn't charge you a cent.. but then again I'm happy with CastleCrashers so that's all good =). I've animated a short little storyboard which I'm planning on making into a nice little animation before i start animating on MotelMadness, to get a hang of the style and to work on that story telling ability iv been worrying so much about.. but for the moment I'm going to play some CastleCrashers =D

BOUGHT A XBOX360

Yeeew, good old eBay(prays, please don't fail) but yeah, bought it so i could play castle crashers and since my birthdays coming up maybe get a game lol yes I'm as poor as they come for the moment and my backpocket and uni fund just got a punch in the kidneys, so I'm hoping its worth it, i only payed 350 for a 20GB HDD xbox360 with 1 controller, which seemed like a pretty good deal after spending the whole day hunting them down =). turns out you can't just purchase the xbox360 arcade console and play online , you need a hard drive and a gold membership as well, and the RRP is about 500bucks in Australia ATM, so yeah kinda got the better one for the price of the cheaper one so I'm happy, hope it gets here soon and in one piece and hopefully fully functional haha or is that too much to ask from something over eBay?

Castle crashers

The guys over at behemoth have just finished making castle crashers, and i must say well done, and that its the reason why I'm going to storm into a store tomorrow and buy an xbox360. it was released about a week ago and i read about it and was interested but after watching a few youtube videos and watching Dan draw a poster on their Behemothwebsite, I'm convinced that i need to play it. Tom Fulp the founder of Newgrounds(my favourite site) and dan paladin(creator of synj) was a big part in the project which lasted 3 years. and I'm hell proud of them. the game looks like a full on bash as you go game, with that classic essence of the golder era of gaming, as well as a whole lot of swaav art. and I'm off to buy it tomorrow hopefully.
But if you have an xbox360 and don't have castle crashers yet watch this video on coldhardflash and spend a few microsoft points, it looks to be extremely worth it.
