I am still around

I am still around, but I just haven't been updating my blog.
I probably won't be updating it at all, because of college, work, and I'm creating a business called (no logo) Downloads. http://www.nologodownloads.com

I don't know if I will ever update this blog again, but I at least wanted to give a closure if there was anyone that was wondering.

TV Turnoff Week is now Mental Detox Week

I will be completely off the Internet next week, because Mental Detox Week is between April 21st and April 27th.

It has been a while since I blogged, and I'm still not going to blog much on here, but I have four blogs to manage.

Have a nice day!

The Monster Rancher on DVD petition now has 250 signatures!
I can't wait until Digiview Entertainment finds out about it!

3-23-08 (Cloverfield Spoof)

The first official trailer for the movie Colderfield has been uploaded to a number of video sites (curiously ones that give money back to the content owners).

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1172168/3_23_08_cloverfield_spoof/

That's the one I like the most, because I get money after 20,000 views instead of having to have people click on links to get me cash.

Make sure to spread the video (if you think it's good)!

At its current state, the movie is about half of the way through editing. I only have to add a couple of the "flashback" scenes, the credits, and just clean it up.
Surprisingly, to edit down the film (1:45 to 1:14) took about five hours, while the trailer (including making the various images and converting it to MP4) took about three.
I'm guessing that I have about ten hours of work left, which means that I have fifteen to twenty.

I'm hoping to get a second trailer (that's a spoof on the second Cloverfield trailer) up on the internet on Friday night or Saturday morning.
Look for the movie on 3-23-08.

Assassin's Creed Videos

Shalom everyone! I just want to tell you that Assassin's Creed is coming out on the PC very soon (and a crappy version on the DS...) and, if I owned a PC that could play it, and if I didn't already own the PS3 version, I would buy the PC version, because it has some cool extra levels in there that the 360 and PS3 versions don't have!

Here's a bunch of videos (and fan made videos) of Assassin's Creed:

Statistics SUCKS!

Okay, I am in this online college class called Intro to Statistics, and it is a pile of Shiite!
First of all, the professor tried to use this place called Eduspace, that costs $56, instead of Minnesota's Desire2Learn, which is free!
Then, he doesn't even teach us anything at all! All he does is tell us what we're supposed to read in the book and correct our papers!
Finally, he doesn't update the website, so we don't know when our assignments will be due until the day before they are due!

My Ethics and Public Speaking online classes didn't (and don't for Speaking) suck! What the hell is wrong with this guy!?!?!?!?

I'm still here! AmishGramish.tv

I'm still going to post information in this blog, but not as much as in AmishGramish.tv, because that's a higher priority because I can make moneys off it and I spent actual dollars on it...
Anyways, AmishGramish.tv is just a website about the crazy things my friends and I do and the AMVs that I make.

I hope that anyone who reads this blog would go and visit my other site!

Shalom!, Update, and Waffles 001!!!!

Shalom everyone!
I just want to tell you all that I am going to start posting here a lot more often because I'm going to take college classes next semester and I'll have more free time!!!! (a little more, but at least I'll have that!)
I'm going on a cruise between Saturday and Saturday, to Jamaica, Mexico, and another place! (It's on Carnival, so I hope it's good)
And I've decided to keep track of all the times that I see people talking about waffles on TV!
Okay, so the first one I'm keeping track of is 30 Rock, where in the episode aired on Nov. 15th, Somebody to Love, Tina Fey walks in and asks her roommate "Are you making waffles?" and she ends up getting into a strange conversation with some of co-workers about the waffles.
I'll upload the video within three months.

Yeah... I won't be on much...

If anyone reads any of these blog posts, I won't be on very much for a while...
Why, you ask?
Well, I got a job at the Best Buy in Fargo as a cashier, so if you see an amish looking guy, just make sure to ask them if they are Amish Gramish.

I also have Assassin's Creed on the PS3 (WOOT!!!!) now, and I'm going to be playing a lot more games than I usually do, because Haze is coming out soon and I need to beat a lot of other games I already have and/or will get.

Well, blog to you later!

P.S.
I am active on www.gametrailers.com now, so if anyone joins, make sure to say that AmishGramish sent you! That's where I'm on a lot of the time...

The Official PlayStation Magazine is BACK!!!!!!!!

Future US has picked up the rights to publish the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine, thusly called: PlayStation: The Official Magazine.

I'm hoping that either they just re-name PSM, and keep all the staff members, or they can just make two PlayStation magazines, but that wouldn't be good business.

Here's to the new official U.S. PlayStation magazine!

Live Earth and today's "all time record high temperatures"

I don't know if we did get these "all time record high temperatures" that we were supposed to get across various parts of the nation, as I haven't watched the news since 1:00 P.M. But, there was one thing that I noticed that couldn't have been better.

Live Earth is scheduled for Saturday or Sunday, and is all across this world. It is similar to Live Eight, and all the other thousands upon thousands of these Live things that have sprung up in the past couple years.

Well, to get to the point, Live Earth is about global warming, and here we are, a couple days before Live Earth, with very, very high temperatures. This thing is going to be thrown all across the media, which is good, and a lot more people are going to be aware of ways to combat global warming.
This should help out everyone's knowledge of global warming (even though it helps increase it for a small amount of time), and I'm probably going to be watching a bunch of it also!

Now, all we have to do is hope that those watching and learning aren't all hypocrites, so we can actually get some things done with the combating of global warming.

(dot) .hack//TOMORROW is now up on Vimeo.com

A couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon this little website called Vimeo.com. It's a video website, that's relatively unknown. It seems a lot better than YouTube, but it's just a lot smaller, and YouTube has become too much of a behemoth.
Well, here it is:

Highlander: Search for Vengeance

Here's a trailer for the new anime based off the Highlander series (SWEET!!!!!) called "Highlander: Search for Vengeance."

TV Turn Off Week, Days 5-7

Well, it's taken longer to respond than I thought, but at least I'm posting it!!!:

Friday, April 27th, Day 5:
I slept and, before that, I skipped half of school to get a physical.
I also started to memorize hiragana, and I am actually getting pretty good at reading Japanese now, but I don't really know what's being said...

Saturday, April 28th, Day 6:
I slept, read, cleaned, and worked.
I was getting pretty bored, because I was tired of reading, and I had slept so much, I wasn't tired enough to even take a nap before eleven...
The post-prom started at 12:30, but I'm just going to talk about it now.
It was pretty fun, but I couldn't play any video games *tear*.
I won a new camera! It's a lot better than my old crappy one!
I memorized some more hiragana, and I was able to write "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto," but I didn't put the katakina, or whatever that one is, for Roboto, because I'll get to that later.

Sunday, April 29th, Day 7:
This was the second hardest day, because I had less than 24 hours until I could watch TV again.
I went to sleep at 4:30, and woke up at 11:20, because I had to go to Morris to go eat with my family and visit with my brother, who's in college.
I also learned some more hiragana, and slept.

Well, that's it!

I found out that I didn't need to go on the web, play games, or watch as much TV as I used to, because I can do so much more with my time if I didn't do as much of these.

.hack//TOMORROW - Funny bloopers R us

It's currently being reviewed by the members of MetaCafe to make sure it isn't offensive, but I think everyone should be able to watch it.

Here's my old video, They Might Be Final, Here Comes The Fantasy!:


They Might Be Final, Here Comes The Fantasy! - Funny bloopers are a click away

I'm in the TGC Blog AGAIN!! AND I'm in the MAIN Headline!!!

Here's thatgamecompany's blog: Mwahahaha HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

It's about when I brought flOw to Anime Detour, but they said it was last week, and it was actually over a month ago...

flOw is a downloadable PS3 game that's available NOW!!!!

(I'm Amish Gramish, if any of you haven't noticed...)

Monster Rancher DVD Petition has EIGHT signatures!!!!

The Monster Rancher on DVD petition has Eight signatures now!!!!

I haven't done anything with it for a couple weeks now, and it seems I should start again!!!

I'm going to post links on a bunch more Monster Rancher related AMVs and clips, and I might even make a video advertising it!

As always, the link for the petition is here: Monster Rancher on DVD Petition.

For all of you who don't know what the petition is about, it is for bringing Monster Rancher on DVD in the United States and Canada, because all we have is the first 9 and first 12 episodes on DVD, and it's very hard to find them, even on eBay, and the first season was released on VHS, but it's probably even harder to find those.

TV Turn Off Week, days 2-4

Sorry about not posting about TV Turn Off Week for a while, for my 0 readers, but I've been busy with internet stuff and friend stuff.

Okay, I'll get back to my story:

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007, day 2:

I started reading more of Ledges and I hung out with friends for almost the whole day (not counting school) and went trash picking!!! (It was trash pickin' week, the week that's after Spring Clean-up Week)

I got a bunch of stuff, including a chair that can easily be fixed, a desk (which my dad ended running over with a vehicle of some sort, and a bunch of really freaking old books.

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007, day 3:

I slept until Youth Group, which starts at seven, and we played some weird Frisbee(r)/football game until 8:20. Then Berg, Im, and I all went to Dairy Queen and ate some ice cream! (Strawberry Waffle Bowl for me!)

All I did that night was just read some magazines and more of Ledges.

But I did realize something that day: I realized that I rely way, way too much on TV, the radio, video games, and my computer. I could do a lot more things (involving learning Japanese, which I haven't done anything with since Sunday) if I didn't watch as much TV, play as many games, etc.
I knew this even more so, because I read 100 pages of Ledges in the past three days, which it took me one month to read the first 100!

Thursday, April 26th, 2007, day 4:

I went home, slept, ate, cleaned, and read the last 70 pages of Ledges and some articles in some magazines.

Yeah, that's all that happened on Thursday.

I should (hopefully) have more info up tomorrow!

TV Turn Off Week - Day One

Last week was the beginning of TV Turn Off Week, in case none of you knew about it.
Well, I'm going to post what my experiences were last week:

Monday, April 23rd, 2007.
It was the hardest day for me, because I wasn't used to having a TV/computer/radio to turn on and go watch TV/surf the web/listen to with me whenever I had periods of time that lasted more than a day that I didn't go on the, well, you get the idea.

Okay, I didn't do much, I just read, ate, and slept.
And I went to the bathroom.

Well, that's day one for ya!

Catch you tomorrow!

KEN KUTARAGI WILL RETIRE IN JUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ken Kutaragi will retire in June!!!!!!!

I can't wait for this to happen, because he is one of the biggest arse faces in the entire gaming industry!!!!

He once stated that video games can't be art.
I guess he never played anything by Team Ico, such as Ico (which is where they got their name) or Shadow of the Collossus.

I just can't wait for June!!!!
