Sooo....

I've been thinking, which I should not do, and come to realize that I'm slightly depressed and angry.  Well, I guess we can all thank Sony for that and the whole PSN Security Breach.  Jeez that really pisses me off.   And it was on the day Portal 2 was released.  Its been a week and a half and it just...
*deep breath*
And now, Valve has announced a release for Portal 2.  Way to shit in my face, Valve.  Give the players who bought the game for PS3 not able to get it for who knows how long.  Way to alienate a third of your player base. 
I've played Portal 2 and finished it.  Great and awesome game.  Just kinda wish Valve had waited for the PSN to get back up and running before the announcement.  I haven't played my PC or my PS3 since I finished P2.  I believe that anything that's tied to the PS3, is bad.  So that leaves only my Xbox and I've been playing that constantly.  More then usual.  I even want to play Halo and I'm not a big fan of the franchise anymore.  But I've been keeping busy with the Gears 3 Multiplayer Beta.  I'm getting better at killing people with the gnasher.  Sawed-off fricken sucks balls, but I guess I need to practice with it.  Like I did with the gnasher.  And the hammerburst, and the Retro-Lancer.  Jeez, I really want the Golden Retro Lancer.  I currently have 54 games played out of 90 needed.  Then I need to get 100 kills to get it for the Retail Game when it comes out this fall.  And Baird.  Need to play 20 Capture The Leader games to unlock him.  Currently have 4.  :p
The Leader for the Locust is the Queen, but I'm not sure who the leader for the 'COGS' are.  They're not the Coalistion of Ordered Governements anymore because it kinda dis abandoned shortly after Gears 2.  It will all be explained in the 'Fall of COG' novel coming out in... Ooh, can't remember the date but its coming up real quick. 
So, in a better mood then I was 10 minutes ago, Fuck you Valve and Sony, I'm taking my business to Microsoft.

Trying a new method to my madness

I'm always trying to keep myself open to various things in regards to Art.  Drawing, making videos, taking pictures.  I've recently come up with a way I can draw without having to ruin my piece while making it.  I'm somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my hand drawings, even though I know there is no such thing as perfect. 

I am using tracing paper to draw layers.  And when I'm finished, I can scan them into a computer. I know, someone has probably(maybe the entire world) has been doing this for a long time, but I just came up with it.  And so far, so good. 
I'm currently working on a Fan Art called 'Wedding Portrait'.  Its basically a picture of a married couple.  Its currently a WIP. 

Its not pretty, I know.  But its looking real good on my end.

I hate PC duchebags and trolls

Title is pretty much self explanatory.
From the last post, I guess its obvious I like to play the multiplayer game, Team Fortress 2.  I've been playing it on the Xbox 360 shortly after its release.  Of course, I bought it for Portal but I had finished that rather quickly.  Oops, starting to ramble. 
I play the 360 game off and on while playing the PC version as well.  I swung by the forums in Steam Powered where they have a separate area for 360 games.  Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal: Still Alive and The Orange Box; which contains TF2. 
Anyway, Someone created a Thread in the Orange Box forums called, "TF2 Console updates are...".  I scrolled over it with my mouse to see what it's first few lines were.  "NEVER COMING" it said.  I opened it to find those two words in bold, italicized, in caps, underlined and enlarged.  Along with a quote by someone who had visited Valve software.
Lets just say, I was less than please.  He took a quote, that didn't or did say they were going to update it, and made a thread to piss off people like me.  That fucking PC duchebag had the balls to post that in the console forums, while his last post before that was him complaining that his 'Teddy Roosebelt' was glitching. 
The thread had just started on it's second page and all the posts said basically the same thing.
"Guys, if we want it updated, we need to tell them and not just sit here on our asses," I replied.  Of course, that didn't come right away.  I was too pissed at the time, but I eventually edited my post to say that.  It upsets me that Valve let the Consoles get this bad.  But its all their fault in my eyes.  They complain its horrid, but that's because they've been neglecting it.  If they had stopped updating their PC version, and watched it deteriorate, they would see what I'm talking about.  Everything is a two way street.  You can't expect a great game to remain great for four years with only four updates. 

It saddens me to no end.

Do you wish to hear my rambling?

This is not my first Blog, but my second (maybe third?).  Hopefully, I'll stick to this one.

So, to start off, I'm plan on going to AI International this fall.  Media Arts and Animation.  *fingerscrossed*  Just need to get the money to turn in my application.  If I get in, I'll be posting my work here, on DeviantArt, or Youtube.  Depending on what I am doing.  I really want to go to School, just because I really hate the job I have.  Working 4 to midnights on Weekdays and 8am to 4pm on weekends makes me miss a lot of time with my Family.  It's a good job if you are going to school (sitting and not doing anything for 8 hours straight) but since I'm not, it upsets me. 

Speaking of Youtube, watching HLN on the Living room TV.  Youtube is getting a make over.  They're going to focus more on Channels rather than Videos.  Not quite sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.  It would be good for those that make awesome Videos like freddiew and CorridorDigital.  That is only a few I know of though.  Well, I guess I'll have to wait before I make judgment calls on something that I don't know anything about.

Team Fortress 2's Meet the Medic trailer should be coming out soon.  I'm rather excited about it but also somewhat nervous.  I really hope they don't 'tarnish' the image that I see him as.  Basically, he's a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde to me.  He can be a gentlemann, but he also has that sadistic side to him.  But because it's TF2, he also has a bit of a 'Looney Tunes' feel.  Like when that one doctor(Dr. Jekyll) drinks that potion and turns into that monster thing(Mr. Hyde) and harasses Sylvester and Tweety.  Maybe not that 'Looney Tune'-ey, but hopefully I explained it well.  I'm not that great with words.
