Annual Post of 2013

So I figure it would be good to make an annual post for this.  I keep forgetting about it.  Although I might (And I use it loosely) post more often here.  I don't because there are times it gets random views and the posts I want to make are a bit personal.  This type of design isn't exactly personal.  Its more of a way to make things more public, which I think is pretty neat if you're looking into a more of a business/public aspect of it.
Anyway, I came here because I've had a bit of a fall out with some friends of mine.  Or, at least I think.  I don't know if they know exactly, because I'm a bloody idiot.
I've been writing for the most part, or more Rping then writing but I sort of see it as the same thing.  Writing out about a character that doesn't exist.  I was having fun with it, but as of lat, I haven't.  Before it was something I looked forward to do and I almost waited for my partners to jump online to respond so I could do it right back.  But now, it sort of feels like a large bit of disappointment and I feel disappointed in myself when I wait for someone, and then they don't respond.  Like I had wasted my entire time for a reply that never came.  And now, it's making me rethink about having 'online' friends in general.  Yes, it's nice to actually have friends, but it's such a huge disappointment when they don't and it makes me feel like an absolute dick when its because something just made their mood terrible during the day.
But, I'm getting out of it, I suppose.  Just going to sort of drop it, and go back to normal writing stories and editing and everything.
Also, I remember vaguely remembering saying that I wanted to go to college.  Well, I did sign up for a fall 2012 and spring 2013.  Did not go as well as I thought it would.  Because I'm not a 4.0 gpa student I wasn't able to pay for my second semester.  So it wasn't exactly a great start of anything.
As a plus, though, I know what I want to go to school for, and how I might go after it, I'm just nervous about it because I'm not very great at writing essays and everything.  They just make me 'bleargh' and gives me a sort of stage fright.  I think it's because I don't know exactly what it is they want and so I don't know what to put in it.  I know its supposed to help you be on your own, but I seem to not work that way, oddly enough.  And I don't know why.  I can write something like this post, and it not seem to be troublesome but when it comes to writing about something specific, I just get the worst sort of 'word constipation' and I can't think of anything to put.
And I think that's enough for tonight.  Or morning.  The clock says its 1 in the morning and I just realized I'm a bit tired.

Why, hello there stranger

Omg, Last post was in December?  Jeezus.
I kinda blame Tumblr in that regard.  That website has been... Well. An amazing piece of work.  I've been practically living on it.
My blog is: wuollet.tumblr.com
It's mostly personal although I do have various fandom related things on it.  This blog is more personal then that is.  That's mostly my fan blog, I guess.  So, there have been a few updates since December.

Writing:  I've been writing a lot more.  I mean, I had been on a difficult hiatus there for awhile.  But I have been practice writing.  have a separate blog for them.  mtphobeswritingcorner.tumblr.com I believe is the link.  Not sure and I can't check because Tumblr servers are down at the moment.
And also, I've been RPing on the Blog.  My babies, Daniel Flynn, and Jack.  Daniel has kinda been off and on with two other characters and Jack, while only two characters also, is in a life or death struggle with a Spy he pissed off.  I never thought I was attached to Jack until I realized he was going to die.  But it's all well now.  Talked it over with the other RPer and he's going to get away.  Hopefully.
Oh it makes me cry just thinking about how close I was to not being able to play him anymore.  In my mind, he was still a babe.  I just started giving him a personality, and a life outside of tormenting the Spy.  And I had to kill him?  It was heart breaking.  I'm thinking of creating a separate blog just for RP with Jack and Daniel.  But that will happen after the response I get back for the RP.
Those two know how to keep a person waiting.  Darn it.
And I'm working on a fluff type story of Sniper and Medic.  I'm currently working on part 4 (yay) and hopefully have a part 5 started soon (double yay).

Gmod Video:
That kinda went down the pooper.  I had gotten a pretty good jump on the 2nd part, but I messed up on the Medic posing and he just kinda collapsed and I just didn't have the heart to continue on it.  That was in... January, I think?  I do want to do another video, of course.  It's just I can't think of anything within my abilities I could to as a start off.

So.  I'm back to writing.  And I have to thank a wonderful woman on Tumblr, Knightspendid.  She's a wonderful person, and gave me a reason to keep writing.  (had a bit of a rough patch feb-april) And as much crap she posts, and gives reasons for people to unfollow her, I won't unless we both shut down out blogs.  It'll be sad when she does, but it will happen eventually.  It's inevitable.
I just wish I could meet her in person.  Along with a few others.  Hana Bakemono and LizzySledgeHammer to name a few.  Both wonderful people.

Well, Tumblr is back, and now I'm an emotional wreck because Jack, my baby, is being tortured by the Spy, Maurice.  And he cut off his finger.  Oh my poor baby.  What have I done to you.

WIP Nightmare Christmas

So, I got myself into making a GMod video.  I really wish I had thought of it for Halloween, but any who. 
*rubs hands together*
I present the current status of Nightmare Christmas:


It has a lot more work.  There's more to be had, alot of noise is needed.  It's way too quiet.  I still need the Pyro and Sniper parts put in.  I had worked on one scene and it ended in failure.  lol.  So I'm going to have to redo that part.  So this is, part 1 of 3.  I'm guessing.  I'm not 100% sure myself. 
Anyway, sleepy time.  I stayed up late making it.  And then I got up early.  I'm tired. xD

Been thinking...

I've always wanted to make a movie.  And I've been in a relatively good mood for the past week, which is surprising a tad as it usually lasts about a day before I crash.  And I made some screen shots in Garry's Mod which inspired me greatly to make a movie. 


The first was actually inspired by For a Few Dollars More.  Where Spy is Colonel Douglas Mortimer, Sniper is the Man with No Name and Engie is El Indio.  The Movie I thought of making was a complete remake of the last scene.  Where El Indio gets killed and Mortimer gets his revenge. 
I really love the posing I did, I just wish I had worked on the expressions some.  

The Second would be an original.  It involves a demonic sort of Medic killing a Heavy by tearing out his heart.  Which Camper Van Helsing (lol) would come in and attack.  I don't fully have a story in mind for that one.  I don't know if I want Medic to live, or die.  (The double horns were a complete accident.  I was trying to get his mask on and I had my reticule on the 2nd hat, instead)
Yes, they both take place on Hoodoo.  Because I was too lazy to change maps to get a better background for the Medic pic because I was messing around with my first idea.

After I had thought up the second story, I realized I'm a very morbid person.  Especially when it comes to RED Medic.
But I'm entirely opposite when it comes to both Snipers and stories I come up with him.  I always make him a family man.  He throws out his crud jokes, but he's an all around nice guy.(Now CBS is an entirely different situation)
And of course, I still have my love for dual identities which I give to the BLU Medic. 

Well.  I'm out of ideas to ramble about at the moment.  I'll think of something for tomorrow, or the day after that.  I always do.

Tumb1r... Or is it Tumblr?

I appologize for the lack of saying-ness.  I've been trying(and failing) to finish up some of my stories.  I'm currently working on three.  My Badlands Story Arc, a Medic Vs Medic story and trying to finish up my The Hidden Arc.  Are they called story Arcs?  Not sure.  I just assumed that Story Arc means it takes up multiple chapters to finish.  Maybe it only relates to Comics.  *shrugs*

Anyway.  I'm currently working on them, and failing spectacularly because I found Tumblr.  Oh dear god, what I had gotten myself into, I'll never know.  D: 
It's a nice little blog set up, I admit.  But the people I'm following on it... It's just... Lets just say if I wasn't a fan girl because I didn't fantasize about certain characters enough, Tumblr turned me into one.  Oh that sounds so dirty. 
*facepalm*
That, my friend is Tumblr.  I blame Tumblr, 110%. 

*Sigh*

But I'm working on my stories.  Getting a lot of inspiration for my original story.  I don't have anything down yet, but I take notes.  A lot of notes. 

I've also stumbled upon a wonderful Spy story on DeviantArt.  I admit, I was not a big fan of this type of story, but once again, I blame Tumblr.  It's called Training. 
Training
It's about a Spy who joins the TF Industries.  It's his first three weeks in training where he breaks the rules of not making Friends with other trainees.  There's much MUCH more to it but I don't want to spoil it.  :D  I mean, the author said there was 9 chapters and she's only on the 5th.  And the 4th was just mind blowing.  I was literally, reading with my jaw on the floor.  I mean, just thinking about it is bringing tears to my eyes.  I rarely get this excited over fan fics, but this was great.  It's not something I would, or could, write.  I'm not the very emotional type of person who could not put what they feel in expressive enough words. 
And there's another one that I especially like, about a Sniper.  It's not The Sniper, Mr. Mundy, but about an OC Sniper.  I believe it's called Trench Warfare.  Very, very good.  And I more often then not dislike OC fan fic characters because they are usually... Can't think of the word.  Usually, over-powered in a sense.  They usually have the power to seduce the Main character if it happens to be their favorite.  Other characters are in love with them, it's just really stupid.
But she makes it different.  I mean, thinking about it now, she did do what I just described. (lol) But at the same time, She uses the other characters.  She actually creates a story behind it all.  They just don't 'love at first sight'.  She has them all bond. 
Sadly, I think she stopped writing it though.  She's on the 6th chapter and she said that she stopped because she wasn't getting enough views and comments on it.  Which I think is stupid.  Hell, I have so many stories I'm not sharing on DA, and are never going to see the light of day outside the small times I flip through the notebook.  I do it because I have the need to do it.  It makes me feel good to write them down.  But the fact that you stop writing on it because, Waah I no get no views. 

Hmmm.  Well.  It's getting late.  Quarter to 1 am.  Bed time, methinks.  Good night.  And thanks for listening to my banter.  It feels good to banter.  :)

New Topic: Vampires and Werewolves

I am currently watching Interview with a Vampire.  This movie could kick Twilight's ass.  THIS is what a vampire story is about.  Which begs the question, what makes vampires soo attractive?  I believe why I like them is the internal struggle of good and evil.  Life and death.  I've always enjoyed the game of the minds which I believe a vampire's life consists of.  A psychological game.
Twilight just... It's not even close to that.  Yea, it consists of drama but its a wolf falling in love with a sheep.  It's not natural, almost perverted.  If vampires were a natural, that is.  xD
Its the same with werewolves and but different at the same.  Vampires are the wolves in sheep's clothing.  While werewolves were the wolves themselves.

I enjoy a great psychological story.  Ones involving dual identities, and deeply guarded secrets keep that lovey-dovey drama out of my stories.  Vampires are about seduction, not about love.  Its the difference that is so drastic, that Stephenie Meyer missed the connection.  I did watch the movie and the only Vampire I liked was the guy they killed at the end.  HE was a vampire.

Well, I had a well versed explanation about were wolves and vampires but my browser almost crashed and now I lost my train of thought.  That last paragraph above this one shows it.  It was going to end that Interview with a Vampire has inspired me for an original story.  About Vampires, and werewolves and the battle of Heaven and Hell.

TF2 Halloween update... Valve, I am Disappoint.

So the TF2 halloween update finally came yesterday.  Yea, yesterday.  It's 11:18 at the current moment of me writing this.  Awesome costumes they made for the Mercs.  Nice remake of the map Viaduct, now called Eyeaduct.  And a new Halloween boss.  Monocleus.  Or something like that.  Its wrong I know, but I'm going to call him Mono.  Because he's one giant Eye ball.  Actually, it's Demoman's eye which is explained in a comic, which is also pretty neat.

But I am disappointed with how they distributed the Costumes.  Via the gift drops that was a pain in the ass last year.  And we needed only 9 that time.  This time, we need 3 pieces for 9 classes.  It sucks.  I have 1 Sniper, 1 Heavy and 2 Spy so far.  And I am also disappointed that the boss is once again a Demoman type boss.  I mean, come on.  I'm tired of Reading about Demo or Solly in the comics.  Share some of that damn limelight with the rest of the classes!
^ Inner fan girl for Medic and Sniper.  Sorry.

I kinda like the Gibus again.  Angry that they changed it again, but what the hell.  It's kinda growing on me.  Angry that the hats from last year aren't in the store.  Just because I traded my Skull last year and I want it back. They have a new one for this year.  Has some neat Styles, but its not the one I want.  And a giant Eye hat.  No Idea what it does other then move like an eye when you look around.  I mean, the HHH Head from last year at least provided immunity from HHH's 'Boo!' cry.  And also a seal mask.  No idea what that's about other then that it matches the mask that the little Steam Mascot wears.

Bah, I can't believe I was disappointed this year.  Hopefully, they come up with something different regarding the gifts.  What I did like about the gift thing is that the server needs to be registered in order to get access to the gift server and if too many people complain about it, then they get booted.  That was a smart move on Valve's part.  But they're still griefers up the whazoo.  They prefer to kill other players and constantly grabbed the gifts even after they have them. 
The only thing that bothers me about the server registrations is that once the bad servers get kicked off, the only good ones are always packed.  And those who want the entire set *coughmecough* can't get in.  I mean, I was able to play on the KK server earlier and that's how I got the two Spy costumes, but that's it.  And I got those off of pure luck.  One was dead center of the CP, everyone was running away from it.  And the second was right below me with three other players looking away from it.  One guy even ran thought it. 

I guess that's enough about the Disapointaween update. 
Random thought is random: Plushies I ordered off DA are being worked on.  Yay!  Can't wait to see them.

Birthday today

Happy birthday to me.  Its my 22 today, and I'm going to celebrate with some dinner with my family.  Haven't been writing too much because its all kinda turning to garbage at the moment.  So I'm taking a slight break.  BUT I do have another TF2 Halloween story to write up. 
Muahahahaha!
Sorry about that.  Halloween, it gets to you.  I personally think it would be an awesome Halloween story.  Maybe not as good as my Demoman v Silas Mann story, but it will be awesome.  Because Valve hasn't updated TF2 yet with the new Halloween items, Its inspired by the Spine-chilling Skull. 
Oooh.  I almost spilled the beans.  How mad I would be if someone stole my idea before I finished it.  Grr.  Anyway, currently making it and hopefully I will have it finished before Halloween. 

Oh and quite a few people like my Interrogation Story I wrote up and posted on DA.  That makes me feel special.  :)  Too bad it's not my personal favorite, probably because my fave is way WAY shorter then it.  Oh well.  Fraud is still my personal favorite.  And Interrogation also was submitted into two DA groups.  I personally didn't put them in there, but for them to get in, they needed my acceptance.  So technically, I did put them in there.  Each group has a lot of people in it so it got good coverage.  The groups are #MedicFTW and #1SniperFans.  Makes perfect sense because Medic is interrogating Sniper.  >:D 

Oh, and my Medic and Sniper plushies are being worked on!  :D  I just checked up on MasterPlanner's journal and she's 60% done with one.  Ooh, I wonder which one it is?  *jumps up and down excitedly*

Fan-girl-ism is NOT an official Title

So, my notebook is gone forever.  I haven't seen hide nor hair of it since it flew off my jeep.  So sad.  But I have been playing my PS2 recently because my internet has been acting up.  Cutting out, going out.  And I played DarkWatch again and finished it.  Forgot how good that game was.  Too bad it didn't get a sequel.  They just needed to tweak the story a bit and it would have been awesome.  The story was kinda all over the place.  I mean, You start off as a human.  You get bit by the Lord of Vampires turning you into one and you then hunt him down after you join the group DarkWatch.
By the time you join the group, your halfway through the game and you don't really hunt down Lazarus(Vamp lord) until the very end.  I could see where they had the right idea, but they weren't able to flesh it out well enough. 
Hmmm.  Just looked up High Moon Studios.  They're still alive and kicking.  DarkWatch was their debut title so it must have done better then I thought.  It probably did as when I played DarkWatch, I was just starting to get into video games.
Ooh!  I just found the music for DarkWatch.  Must download now!  Multitasking is awesome.  I might just have to ask them if they will come out with another DarkWatch.  I doubt it, but you never know...

Anyway, as I was trying to say, that I was writing a short little fan series for DarkWatch.  Starts off with Jericho as a child watching his parents get killed and then short little intermissions of him as an adult.  E.G. He knew everyone in DarkWatch already.  They just treat him different in the game because he was a Vampire. 
Man I'm such a Fan Girl when it comes to a character I like.  I like Jericho just as much as I like Medic and Sniper.  I guess you can say playing the game renewed it for me.  I like Raditz, too.  He's from DBZ.  Can't really think of any one else.  Just those 4 I guess.
I'm in such a better mood.  I might have to change my title to something more happy.  Gah, can't think of anything. I might just not have a title.  That one is just too sad.
Ah hahaha!  I thought of one.

Lost: Green Composte Notebook

I lost my green composite notebook today.  Like a dummy, I left it on the roof of my jeep when bringing my brother to school.  I saw it fly off, and I debated on if I should stop and get it. 
'Nah', I thought.  'I'll pick it up on my return trip.'  On my return trip, I couldn't find it anywhere.  It was like trying to find Waldo in an I Spy book(Hint: he isn't in one). I eventually gave up because it either moved to a spot I couldn't see as I don't have my glasses or someone picked it up. 
So, just in case someone did pick it up, I posted a lost ad in the newspaper.  90 fricken dollars, but my notebook is worth it.  Its almost my life and I also posted a reward if it is still in one piece.  I still have my blue composite but... It still saddens me.  I have three stories in it.  Two finished, rough drafts but finished and my Deus Ex TF2 story.  Which isn't- WASN'T finish but nearly there. Well, I can still work on my other two short stories I had queued up as side stories of the Deus Ex TF2 story.  And I still have to work out my *ahem* Meme story I was inspired by awhile ago.  I'm still writing so the notebook wasn't an entire loss and I start my new job tomorrow!  :D Today was a rough day, maybe tomorrow will be a bit more smoother.

Have no Fear! Steam Cloud is here! And his sidekick YT!

So.  It wasn't all I feared.  I didn't loose everything per say like I thought.  I had enabled my 'Sync with Steam Cloud' option on.  So every save I had, that was compatible with Steam Cloud was saved.  :D  Like my 30 hour Deus Ex: HR game saves?  Still there.  Thank goodness. 

And I'm getting inspiration for my TF2 story, which ties with Deus Ex.  Thanks to ThePianoGuys on YT.  They re-done a song by Adele called Rolling in the Deep.  Fricken beautiful song.


I'm thinking of using this inspiration for a prelude to the Deus Ex story.  Makes me all giddy thinking about it.  Love getting inspired.  Welp, that's all for now.  Off to write.  :D

Steam Died. Basically lost everything.

So.  Downloaded the Tf2 Beta from 2007 to try out the Source Filmmaker.  Neat little device, not going to lie.  But it killed Steam. 

Corrupted everything.  Lost all my screenshots that I hadn't uploaded to Steam Cloud.  All my saves.  Data of games so I have to re-download everything.  Everything.  I haven't felt this numb since my house burned down a few years ago. Haven't felt this angry since my little brother erased my 360 hard drive. 

It makes me wonder why I bother sometimes.  What's the point of trying to get things when some little fucking bug comes along and erases everything?  Everything I've accomplished, just disappears like dust in the wind.  Like it didn't even exist. 

But at least it didn't corrupt my entire hard drive.  If I'd have lost my writings...

Hell I don't know.  I'm upset, but I know I'd sure be depressed if I lost those.

Inspiration in the darkest of places...

Finally (somewhat) got over my writters block.  Inspired by a friend who pissed me off. 

Fraud

How I took the anger is a bit stretched, but hey.  Its my new personal Favorite.  :D

Am currently writing up a small series called: Hats of personality.  The first is called Sniper: The Anger, inspired by Pickle-Ranger.  Have a bunch of ideas for other hats also.  Can't wait to get them all written down. 

Made a few doodles also.  Writers block kinda opened up my drawing section.  Its been while so they're a little rough.

Archemides in color.  I photocopied a black and white verson, then colored it with a crayon/coloring pencil.  It was a Crayola crayon pencil thing. 

A Dorf from the Currently in Pre-Alpha Lords of UberDark

And a quick sketch of Pyro.  Drew it with a pen so I couldn't correct any mistakes I had made. 


Also, someone gave me a very nice compliment on my Hidden story.  Makes me also want to finish it and post the finishings.  :D  Sadly, the animation prodject is on hold.  I have a need to draw and write at the moment. 

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Delayed until Further Notice

So.  Been trying to work on my Animation Project but its getting to be harder and harder just because I have it being the Sniper model.  I'm having a serious beef with TF2 at the moment.  Thinking about scrapping it and starting over.  Over over as in modeling my own character.  But that also sounds like a ton of work which I rather despise. 

:(

I am working on my story though.  So my non-working time in the animation wasn't an entire waste.  Well, actually I did kinda work on the Animation.  I downloaded IPI the other day.  Its a motion capture software that can use web cameras to capture movement.  I've got my bro's Kinect linked up to my PC currently.  Got it running and such, but I haven't recorded any thing with it. 

Well, thinking about it as I type, maybe I'll just find myself a different model to use and save my Sniper anim. for later.  Idk.  I'm tired, and sad because both of my vehicular devices are broken and I'm stuck at home.  Maybe I just need a break from my PC for a bit. 

Wednesday, August 10, 2011

Broke broke Broke.

Its harder then I thought.  This... Animating.  This will be my 3rd try with the Sniper model in trying to animate him leaping off of a box.  Of course, I have it more then him just leaping off.  He walks to the edge, looks, then leaps.  Everything just keeps messing up when he gets to the edge. 
The first time, his legs jumped into his chest along with his wrists.
This.  I had taken a pic because it didn't look like that when I saved it. 

The second time, his arm bent at an odd angle and wouldn't fix its self.  I tried to 'CTRL+A' but instead I hit 'CTRL+S' and screwed up my save. 

And this third time seems like it will work, but I thought that the second time was it.  All these bugs.  They infuriate me. 
So, I haven't quite worked on it because I don't want it to fudge up anymore then I want to but I know I'll eventually get back to it. 

And entirely, unrelated but still important, I might/might not be working on this as I put in my two weeks at my current job, but the other job I want closes in 3 days.  So I might not have a job.  Which means a drastic drop in money and a increase to my free time.  Or vise versa. 
Well, I'm tired and its getting to be close to my bed time.  Actually, its passed my bed time.  Good night.

Saturday, August 6, 2011

So... I actually made some progress. Really. I did this time.

So.  I finished rigging up both Pyro and Sniper.  Sniper I did much faster then Pyro.  And started to animate with the Sniper rigging over the Pyro, because the Pyro is effectively broken somehow.  The spine somehow un-linked themselves and his left hand fell apart.  I tried to link his tank with his spine along with the grenades on his chest which failed with flying colors.  So, I effectively given up on Pyro and started on Sniper.  Which, surprisingly was a much bigger success then Pyro. 
Here's my first picture at trying to animate with him:

Yea.  I know.  I didn't do much.  But hey, This is my first time at animating.  Your work can't be a Mona Lisa off the bat.  But it is broken so I'm going to restart the Animation process.  I saved the rigging as a Separate file so I don't have to go through the rigging process again.  Thank god. 

Oh, and I believe I got over my writers block also.  I've decided to continue working on a story I scrapped about a month ago.  It wasn't going anywhere at the time and when I re-wrote the beginning again today at work, It just came to me and it was almost 10 times better then before.  I feel good about this. 
So.  I made a lot of progress.  The title was no lie like last time. 

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

So... I actually made some progress. Kinda sort of.

I made some progress since the last time I posted.  Autodesk is up and running, plugins and everything.  I imported a Baseball bat, Pyro, Sniper, Medic and the Announcer.  So hopefully I have importing done.  Rigging not so much.  I tried rigging up Medic, Pyro and Sniper each failing miserably.  And its sad because the bones are already there.  I just need to line up the CAT bones with the Valve bones. 
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I get the first leg started up and then when I start working on the foot, the knee locks up like a female dog and I can't move it.  Which makes it harder to fix the foot.  Its driving me bonkers.

Still having a major writers block.  Just because I can't get that one part in the Dirty Deeds Prologue/Epilogue better.  Everything's driving me crazy recently.  Well, hopefully I can think of something soon. 

So, hopefully either a story or a video when I get one of these problems fixed.

Yay!  /sarcasm

Lights... Camera... Storyboard!

Well, I'm stuck trying to write my story.  Since I can't seem to continue on it, I'm going to try my hand at movie making.  I've written it all out(Another script type story I had finished while working on Dirty Deeds), and I made a storyboard through Garry's Mod. 

Garry's Mod, I don't know how people can make videos out of that.  That's insane.  I ran into so much trouble with it.  Then again, I'm trying to use it outside of its abilities without the proper plugins.  

Well, a majority of the storyboard is done.  I took all of the screenies.  I was being lazy when I made them so I don't have any facial expressions on them.  They're really poorly done, but I do like some images I took with the Administrator with Spy's Ambassador. 

Its only a small section of the story I'd like to use.  I don't want to spoil it or release little details because every time I type it out, it sounds wrong.  Just wrong.  I'll leave it at TF2 Video.  Yea, that sounds good. 

Anyway, I'd like to animate it in 3DS Max, finally got it.  Its the 2010 Version, but it should work.  Fingers-crossed.  Just need to see if all the other stuff I needed works. 

Thursday, July 14, 2011

True work, is never finished...

So, I made a Prologue/Epilogue for Dirty Deeds.  Explains how it all started and that I want to make it continue, but not call it Dirty Deeds anymore.  I haven't come up with any ideas on how I want it to continue so its currently on hold.  The continuation of the story is on hold, not the Prologue/Epilogue.  I have that all finished and looking nice.  The ending was the only thing on it that changed the most.
Originally, I had the President come in and murder everyone with 'psychic' powers but saw that as too... exotic for the story, but it was the only one I had come up with at the time. Eventually, I just had it to where he plans on stopping his son, and once again, try and re-unite the people of Teah.  No psychic powers, no unnecessary deaths.  Just the president doing what he did again, years ago. 
I still need to work on it though.  The prologue parts seem too small to be of any significant details other then a betrayal.  I tried to point out that the President was a nice guy before his wife was assassinated and I don't think I conveyed that point well enough.  The visual of how he was affected when she died I believe will be a different story.  I'll have to brain storm some more before.

More and more bickering...

Just finished typing up my Dirty Deeds story to Deviantart.  Had to re-type it because I was being stupid and deleted the original.  I'm just glad I printed it off before I did that.  Took me too long to write it and I know I'd never get it back to how it was if I didn't have a copy. 
Its called the Dirty Deeds pt 1 RnR Edition.  RnR = Revised and Rewritten.
I added a few stuff that I originally didn't have.  Like, at the end, instead of him just looking at the empty frame, he takes some of his 'medicine' that he mentions in pt 3 then he looks at the frame.  Still pondering if I should create a prologue.  Originally 3 was to be it, but it didn't quite work out how I wanted it to as it was already longer then I wanted it to be and at one point took a drastically different turn.  Which remind me, I need to print it off so I have a hard copy of that also. 

My picture I need to redo.  I the picture I posted here on the blog, I'm not liking the wife.  She looks too modern now and its driving me crazy.  So I've taken a slight break to find out how I want her to look at the moment. 

And another thing.  I only just realized that the set hats were not the problem.  It was that Valve, making TF2 Free to play on the PC meant that 100% for certain that they had abandoned the console counter part.  Played a little of the F2P profile, Which is No Hats, not Wuollet24.  Its so limited that you need to buy something in order for you to experience the entirety that is TF2. It was a pretty good chance that if you were a F2P player, you are going to buy something from the store.
So thinking about it now doesn't upset me as much anymore, even though it does at a level.  It was just something I had latched on to in order for me to say, That I want to boycott.  Because deep down, before the update, I knew that Valve was never going to update the consoles.  Its just that I had that little bit of hope that maybe I was wrong.  Well, now its dimmer then it was before. 
Because, even though it might be just my SPUF paranoia coming around but they had added some files to the xbox_reslist in the files of TF2.  Who knows.  Maybe (and this is a HUGE maybe) that with all the money they make in the Mann Co store, they might had some features to the Consoles. 
And if they just released the updates, I would happily pay for them.  I don't think Valve knew that.  The xbox players are willing to pay for the update.  You just need to offer it. 
Alright, I;m off to bed.  Is 12:37 I need to get up in the morning to get back to work.
