Eyestrain is teh funz!

 For no real reason other then to do anything, I actually took the time to update my website. I finally took away all traces of all CMS utilities. Now I have nothing left but a minimalist template and stupid text content. On the other hand, I finally took the time to actually double-space after all punctuation. And it loads super-fast - a product of having absolutely no images whatsoever. It took me forever to come up with the color scheme, which is pitiful for only having two colours.
 Now all that's left to do is to update the title page.
 You can take a look. I plan on having some downloadable content available sometime soon. Maybe a techdemo for my game?

HA HA HA!

Le Tresor Interdit

For no real reason, I decided to put another video on this blog. Well, it actually did have a purpose. Mostly, I wanted to test out ZSNES's movie dumping abilities. After that, I decided that I also wanted to test Blogger in Draft's new video upload ability. Appearently, it converts the movies to MP4.

I'm sorry, but for some reason the first few seconds of audio don't work. I have no clue as to why.

Look, The Final Frontier is Finally Finished!

 I'm not a Trekkie, per se, but I found that Star Trek has once more become Awesome. Strange, I know.
 What I'm talking about is, of course, Star Trek: New Voyages. It came upon the media for it's infamous episode, with it's principal shooting just completed, "Blood and Fire", which was introduced to me by a lesbian friend of mine (The only reason why I have any dislike for lesbians is that they only tell me after I start to make my moves, seriously). Why the infamy? Because Captain Kirk's nephew starts a new relationship. With a male.
 Normally, I'd just turn my back from this kind of media. Gay romances never seem to make good movies, no matter how heartbreaking Brokeback Mountain was. But there is some interesting points in history that makes that particular episode interesting. First, the script is heavily based off a rejected Star Trek: The Next Generation script. Gene Roddenberry himself, the creator of the franchise, endorsed the idea, saying that it was something that they should do. After all, the original idea was to have the show confront modern-day issues (Ever notice how the early Klingons reminded you of a mixture of Russians and Japanese?). Paramount was being bitchy after Gene died though - "The bastard's dead, we don't have to do as he said."
 I was rather surprised to see how well New Voyage was produced. They managed to modernize the original Star Trek while retaining the ghetto-fabulous effects and sounds. Some of the actors actually do a very good job of incorporating some of the cannon cast's acting quirks into their performance while somehow managing to make that character their own. And while the updated visual effects (like the ships and more fantastical settings) are a bit 'generic', they ended up looking very good.
 The storywriting deserves some good note as well. The episodes are amazingly well written with incredible plot convolutions. Some things are totally unexpected. The last episode released, "To Serve All my Days", explores the character of Commander Checkov better then any of the episodes produced by Desilu. And even though there are warnings throughout the episode, you never really expect what happens to him at the end. Want to know what happens to him? Go download it. It's free.
 I'm a bit annoyed at how long it takes to produce these shows, though. Luckally, the next episode is almost complete. That would be "World Enough and Time", as pictured above. It actually has a cannon cast member, George Takai, return to his role as Mr. Sulu. To make up for his old age, he's been thrown across time. The new Sulu actually battles the old Sulu! Needless to say, I am waiting with anticipation for this next episode to premier. Heck, it's momentum gave it the priority to have a live stream for it's initial release, along with an after-party in Hollywood.

 Now I leave you to click on the title to be teleported to the Star Trek: New Voyages website to download and watch the first episodes, along with these final words:

I have too many lesbian friends.

P.S. To Stephen, Surkit: Yes, I am making fun of you. Seeing you question my sexuality is just too funny.

Zzzzz....

 I'm sorry for my long absense. I've been writing about a million personal issues in this blog, but like any nearly-sane individual, I didn't publish it.

 So in repentance, I show you this video:
