Alright guys. My PC is sorted out and now I will update the blog every day.
Now, for this.
Guys and gals, I do this in my spare time. I receive no payment for all of my studd that I buy and has to be bought every year. It really is economically challenging. I am asking that some of you be generous and donate to me. I don't care how much or how little, anything helps!
It will go toward these things:
*Yearly editing software
*Capturing hardware
*Payments for future games to review
And much more. In addition, if enough people donate, I'll start a server for games liek Team Fortress 2.
Everyone, please help out! This will increase my productivity tenfold!
Thanks everyone!

Why Call of Duty Needs to Die: Part 1: A History
This is the first in a series of posts of why the series we've all come to know and love, Call of Duty, must die.
Please note Infinity Ward is creating their own series that is the successor to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (appropriately named Modern Warfare). It is an independent series, until the inevitible hijack by Activision.
Call of Duty is a series that has stood the test of time. It's been on the PC for over 5 years and is still a successful series. It's the textbook definition of an FPS. Started by Infinity Ward, it was created by a branch of people who worked at EA during production of the original Medal of Honor. Some of the team branched off to create their own game, which resulted in Infinity Ward being formed and the original Call of Duty coming into creation. And from this, another team branched off to create Gearbox Software (Brothers In Arms).
Now, the original Call of Duty was sold on the line that has made Call of Duty what it is today: cinematic intensity. It brought us closer to the visceral actiuon of combat than ever before. It was amazing for the time.
Here's where we cut into modern history. For an expansion pack titled United Offensive, a new company named Treyarch entered the field to create this. Viewed as the best add-on to Call of Duty to date, it added vehicles into multiplayer and an additional campaign. The original PC Call of Duty had alot going for it.
Tune in next week for a look at Call of Duty 2, a milestone in the series, and then the dramatic fall and rise of the series since.

Great Find
Hey guys. Not much to report today.
I was googling music for future videos, and stumbled on, quite possibly, the greatest music collection of all time.
http://www.imeem.com/people/lGzWPN/playlist/Od2Ojmbf/epic-music-music-playlist/
It has over 100 of the most epic music songs ever created: from Beethoven to Metal Gear.
I suggest checking it out.

On Vocation...Somewhat
Once again, sorry for the lack of posts. Been very busy lately. As Summer gets closer, I'll post more.
Good news, people of the world wide web! I've gotten my beta key to the Battlefield Heroes Beta! Thanks again to my good friend and loyal YouTube subscriber, Erghantar :D I'll be occipied with it on weekends for a while. I'd love to tell you about how it is, but it's still under NDA.
I can tell you that it's one of the funnest games I've ever played. Why? Because it's about FUN. Not hardcore shooting and weaponry, extreme gore, and too much cussing. It's about having a good time, being open to everyone, and working together to create that unique Battlefield experience.
Until next time, folks!

I'm Still Here...No, Over HERE! Ugh.
Yes, I'm still here.
I'm very busy, but you know the routine. Over the next two weeks I should be on more.
Well, my Merry Christmas video is up!
Have a good Christmas!
Make sure you check my YouTube frequently. I check it every day and it's the best way to get in contact with me if you need.
For those wondering, I am indeed working on trying to create a good Halo 3 Machinima. Elites vs. Spartans...just never happened. It wasn't a technical problem, we just had a major member of the cast move from his house and now can rarely access Live. We just decided to scrap the project. Maybe we will go back to it in the future. But, for now, consider it gone.
I am exploring my options. I'm writing stories that come to mine. I'm currently working on one dubbed 'Forgotten.' Expect it, if I can get it to work, sometime in Q1 2009.
I also am considering making a sequel to my first great machinima, CSI: Resistance. I still view that as one of my best videos. The only thing holding me back is the fact that Resistance 2 doesn't have a spectator mode like R: Fom. Hopefully this will get patched in EVENTUALLY. I'm counting on it. Expect that to be made EVENTUALLY. Whether Insomniac releases this feature or not determines if it will suck or not. Let's hope for the latter.
Oh, and one last thing: I do have a MySpace. Feel free to add me:

KEEP IT CLEAN!
