After seeing the movie and writing about it I started researching it on the web and I found the video games for the movie for a bunch of platforms on Amazon.com
I have an old Xbox but I plan on upgrading to an xbox 360 as soon as they get all the bugs worked out and I'll definately be buying a copy.
I searched for an Xbox version but it seems there isn't one so I'm putting the links up for all the platforms I COULD find so anyone who visits can get a copy if they want.
Transformers was awesome! It was way more than I expected. A co-worker of mine said it was like "a 2 hour chevy commercial" so I wasn't expecting much but I am a Chevy fan and this was the awesomest "2 hour chevy commercial" I have ever seen.
I used to watch Transformers as a kid but that was a LONG time ago. I stopped watching cartoons like when I was 12. Up until recently that is. My wife Shirley has gotten me into watching adult swim alot.
My favorite part was at the end of the movie when Sam shoved the cube into Megatron's chest. The thought had crossed my mind that he might do that but when he actually did it I got kind of shocked and excited at the same time. It was cool.
I guess my second favorite part was when Bumble Bee transformed into the new Chevy Camaro. The part where Sam got to talk to Bumble Bee for the first time was cool too.
If you haven't seen this movie yet go now! It's absolutely awesome!
It does almost everything my $700 camera did and I can use my old DV tapes in it. It plugged right into the firewire and my computer detected it no problem.
Here you'll see that amazon.com has one of the next models up from mine the JVC GRD770 which has more zoom and better features than mine. The reason Amazon.com refuses to show the price is that it's so ridiculously low that the manufacture doesn't want them to display it.
But I checked and I can tell you this camera wasn't much more than 200 bucks. Click on the picture to see the real price.
So since I got my camera I've been playing with Windows Movie Maker alot lately. I hate it. It sucks! You can't do overlays or make your own transitional effects. It's hard to time your editing to music. It's just a sucky program.
I tried to install my old copy of Ulead Media Studio Pro 5 but with all the new media file formats out nowadays it won't recognize anything on my hard drive. It won't even capture video because it doesn't recognize the codecs.
So I've been looking at Ulead Media Studio 8 and it's only 200 bucks so I think I'm gonna go for that. I already know how to use it and I love the interface anyways.
I'm planning on using the camera to help my friend Michelle build a Vlog for her horseback riding/training buisiness, among other things :-). She trains people to ride horses and takes people on trail rides. She even trains their horses for them if they want.
I'm also gonna be playing around with making my own videos. Some will be comedic, some dramatic. I might do some mock up commercials and I may try to do a short film soon with my own music that I created with Jeskola Buzz and my guitars.
This is the trailer for an independant film my friend is co-starring in called "Sins of The Flesh". A horror film produced right here in Ocala, FL.
SINS OF THE FLESH:
When a close-knit cult of cannibalistic humans dwelling in the bowels of a dilapidated building and feeding on fresh human flesh, abduct Evan, a seemingly ordinary man, they believe that he will be the newest addition to their murderous family.
After several attempts at forcing Evan to succumb to their dark, devouring ways, they are forced to take more desperate and drastic measures to ensure that he turns into one of them…
Sins of the Flesh is an independent horror film currently in postproduction with goals of hitting the film fests (including Orlando's "Screamfest") and eventually distribution.
Filmed locally here in Ocala, Florida, this dark, creepy film introduces Joey Nieves, Shannon Thomas, J.L. Vaughan, Becky Sinn, Alan David, Loida Garcia, Carl Summers, Ryan and Heather Kane, and many others to the world of film.
The film features AMAZING bands like Warped Tour's "Black in the Mind," "Rennick," "Mense," "Becky Sinn," "Deep Six," "Samantha Falk," and others! Written, Produced, and Directed by Erica Kane.
INTERESTED IN PUTTING YOUR BAND'S MUSIC IN THE FILM?
Send all inquiries to elkane85@hotmail.com with the subject heading "Sins of the Flesh" (A.S.A.P.) along with an mp3 version of the song.
I will be posting behind the scenes bloopers, pictures of the cast and crew and I plan on doing interviews with some of the cast so add me now and subscribe to this blog to get updates.
I had alot of fun playing with my phone and uploading videos to youtube today. The only thing that I'm really disappointed about is that stupid 10 second limit on my Razor.
That, AND the video quality is kind of sucky.
Do you know how hard it is to try and capture any sort of decent video footage with only 10 seconds of memory? It's almost impossible. The timing has to be perfect. All the clips I did today were very hard to time right but some of them came out OK. Check them out here http://www.youtube.com/user/fusebox41
So now I MUST have a new phone or better yet, a miniature mp4 video camera. That would be perfect for doing a video journal.
OK so the first thing I'm going to do when I wake up tomorrow is compare prices for mp4 cameras at compare.com then see if I can find anything locally. I think I saw a rebate coupon for one at Walgreens.
I'm excited. I browsed by youtube today to check on my rarely used account and I accidentally figured out how to upload video from my RzR directly to YouTube. This is cool. I tried doing this before but something was wrong and I couldn't get it to upload. Yay it's fixed.
There is one drawback though. My phone's video quality kinda sucks AND it only lets me record 10 sec clips. But they do have audio so that's cool.
A quick note to my Mom: You should subscibe to this stuff Mom you will get a kick out of it. :-)
Everyone loves their pets and my wife and I are no exception. Our pets are spoiled rotten. :-)
This is Dammit. Yes his name is Dammit. I named him that because I knew I was going to end up calling him that anyways. You know: C'mere Dammit! Shut-Up Dammit! Dammit! Sit Down! Well, you get the idea. :-)
We call him Boo Boo most of the time especially around kids unless we really need to get his attention then we call him by name. He usually straightens up when he hears that.
He's half brindle pit and half black lab. His mother was a full blooded brindle pit and his father was a black lab.
His disposition is mild. He hardly ever barks unless it's an emergency or if someone is pulling in the driveway.
He's great around children and he's pretty smart. He'll be five years old in Feb. 2008.
Boo Boo likes to flea nip the cats. I think he thinks they are his puppies. LoL :-)
He lets the Kitten Sammy pounce on his face and then he just nudges him away with his nose real gently. It's great fun to watch. :-) They are both ham bones.
When I get some pics of Sammy I'll upload them. He's so small. He's about as big as Boo Boo's nose right now. :-)
I called to talk to Dewayne about my arm and he gave me the night off. He didn't seem to happy about it either.
I told him I could run ovens and coordinate deliveries but I'd likely have trouble slapping out pizzas and the new girl is too inexperienced to pick up my slack seeing as how I usually do the work of 2 of our regular people.
It seemed like he was a little upset and he was being short with me. So I told him I wasn't trying to call in I just wanted to let him know what was going on ahead of time. Then his tone changed and he said for me to go ahead and take the night off to rest my poor arm.
Whew!
That sucked! I hate calling in to work. It always makes me feel guilty. LoL :)
Shirley called and told me she was going horseback riding with Michelle and she'd be late coming home. She asked me if I wanted her to come home and nurse my arm but I don't see any sense in that. Let her have fun. I'll be fine. I've got some Lortabs. :-)
Ouch! I hurt my arm tuesday at work. Ian mopped the floor and I didn't realize it was wet so I went skating like a cartoon across the floor flailing my arms to keep my balance. I must have flailed a little too hard because now my left arm is practically immobile.
I haven't slept all night. Every time I lay down my arm starts hurting worse and I can't sleep.
I'm not sure if I can do my job alone tonight. Dewayne scheduled the new girl Christina with me by myself on a Thursday night. Sometimes I wonder about his methods. Anyways I'm sure I'm going to end up asking for some help with my arm the way it is. Crap.
Shirley is at Michelles watching Trajen right now. She will be back about 1:30. I'm supposed to talk to a representative from AIU (online college) today at 1:30. Not sure If I'm gonna make it. I might try to sleep again before I have to go to work.
