Three things!

1. Our (Phill Spies, Tan Teck Wong, and my) game, Psychopomps, has been noticed by DIYGamer! Check out their write-up here!
2. My good friend Andre has set up his own personal gaming blog, titled ControlPadBlues, and you can find that here! Please note that the design isn’t final; it’s still being worked on.
3. I’ve started down what I hope to be a long, interesting, and potentially exciting road towards developing my own games. Just starting in Flash for now, but it’s something, and it’s fulfilling. Working in film doesn’t do anything for me anymore, so I’ve more-or-less cut that part out of my life, almost entirely. This year’s Silver Wave Film Festival should be the last in which I have any of my work. Not unhappy at all about this.

Ok, so now I get it… I kept approving comments that wouldn’t show up on my posts.

Duh. The comments were made on the description pages of the media files themselves. So, Andre and Joel, I have approved your comments and they have always been on the site, just not viewable right from the main page.

Learning!

Andre tells a tale of the Escuminac disaster

This was recorded near the end of July in Baie Ste. Anne, about 30 minutes from where I live. It’s pretty much the pilot run of my then-new Microtrak II. I recorded the entire thing with low levels (too low), so I had to do some heavy compression in Logic. Even then, a bit of automation was used, as I’m holding the mic, and am therefore much louder than Andre.

Note that things like this (talkies, I’ll call them) will not be added to the player at the bottom of the page. That is for music, specifically.
