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:

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!

Over 10,000 Video Views on YouTube!!!!!!!!

As of a couple weeks ago, I have over 10,000 video views on YouTube!!!!!
About 8,000 for They Might Be Final, Here Comes The Fantasy!, about 1,000 for .hack//TOMORROW, and about 1,000 for the Monster Rancher on DVD Petition video!!!!!

I need to do my homework, so I can't upload an image of it...
I actually think I uploaded an image of it earlier, but I don't remember...

New thatgamecompany Game: Flower!!!!!!!!!

thatgamecompany, the company behind flOw (PS3), has released a trailer for their latest PlayStation 3 game, and it's called Flower.

It looks like it could be pretty fun.
I have never seen anything like it!

Well, without further ado, here's the official trailer:

dot .hack//TOMORROW now over 1,000 views on YouTube!!!!!

There are now over 1,000 views of my Anime Music Video .hack//TOMORROW on YouTube!
It is currently sitting at 1,016, and it has been favorited 11 times!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
That is more than one for every 100 views!!!!!!
They Might Be Final, Here Comes The Fantasy! (higher res) has nearly 7,000 views and it only has eight favorites!!!!! But, Monster Rancher on DVD petition has nearly 900 views with nine favorites, so it's about the same, but I didn't really edit any video...
And, it has almost 300 views on MetaCafe currently, so let's just hope that it keeps getting more and more views!

Anyways, here's the video for dot .hack//TOMORROW:

(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:

Random Crap Vol. 2

Hello, this is my latest blog category called "Random Crap."
This is where I just post random crap about things.

This time, I would (again) like to thank all of the foreign visitors I have gotten so far.
The foreign countries include, in alphabetical order:
Argentina
Australia
Brazil
Canada
Egypt
France
Greece
India
Israel
Italy
Kuwait
Mauritius
Morocco
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Panama
Portugal (Hellz Yeah!)
Romania
Saudi Arabia
Singapore
Spain
Thailand
Trinidad and Tobago

Ukraine (Vanya Khoreschenko)
and, last, but not least, United Kingdom

That's right, TWENTY SEVEN COUNTRIES!!!!!!!

Thanks to all of these foreign visitors, who mainly clicked on the "random blog" link up above, and those ten or so people who googled something to get to this!!!!

.hack//TOMORROW has almost 400 views on YouTube, and They Might Be Final, Here Comes The Fantasy! has almost 10,000 aggregate views on YouTube, MetaCafe, and Veoh! (5,600 with the higher res, and 1,800 with the lower res, both on YouTube)!!!!!!

WAFFLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also want to remind you all to sign the Monster Rancher Petition, which now has thirty signatures!!!!

Okay, now onto more random crap:
I'm going to be heading over to "Boys' State" in Morris, MN at about 8:00 A.M., and it's now 2:45 A.M. here in Barnesville, so I don't think I'm going to get very much sleep.
It's basically where students from each state get together, meet up in their state of residence, and form a fake government. It's sponsored by the American Legion, so if I have fun, I'll have to thank them a lot for letting me go to this!

My dad and I also got some cats a couple weeks/about a month ago, so they are getting bigger and bigger, and fluffier and fluffier.

You all know what happened to my dog, and if not, just read either "Good Night And Good Luck" or the other one about Bode.

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 now on MetaCafe!!!

.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

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!

.hack//TOMORROW on YouTube

My latest AMV, which is called ".hack//TOMORROW" is now up on YouTube.

The anime is .hack//SIGN, which I used five different episodes of, and the song is "El Manana" by Gorillaz. Manana means tomorrow, so that's where I got the name from.
My AMV is about friends and the love of Subaru and Tsukasa.

It's a lot better than my other AMV, but it is off by a couple frames, but it's kind of hard to tell, unless if you are focusing on it.

AMV is now on MetaCafe!

They Might Be Final, Here Comes The Fantasy! - Amazing videos are here

MetaCafe and Veoh have a lot better resolution than YouTube, which is why I am partly annoyed by YouTube.

Well, my video has an average of about 2.8 on these sites, and I didn't think it would be that highly rated... Well, when I fine tune it,it apparently will get an even higher score!?!?!?!?
But that'll be within the next year or two.

And the best thing about MetaCafe is if any video that the poster made gets over 20,000 views, the people who made the videos get PAID!!!!
A lot of money has already been shelled out, and there's a lot more where that came from!

How game developers and musicians can get more $$$$$$$$

One very simple way for video game developers and musicians and their respective companies can get a lot of money is if you take a game like, let's say LittleBigPlanet, and you let people upload their own levels to let other people download them.
But what they could do with these games is sell people songs (that may or may not be played only on that game, i.e. also put on the console for unlimited playback) and let them use these songs during the levels. One element that would probably make this a little popular or more popular is if the gamers were allowed to use certain songs at certain points, or even certain portions of songs at certain points in the game.

Something like this can be done for a lot of different games.

This would be replacing the soundtrack, if it even had any.

It costed about $250K to have a full song in a game back in 2005, which is why most games either feature songs that are re-made by another company or the songs are cut in half, but if the songs weren't put in the game, and were made available for download, game developers might be able to let us have full songs (at our dime) without being charged the full 250K. In order to do so, they would probably make a deal with the music companies that would probably have a minimum price paid to the music companies and would have a set amount of royalties per song sold.

The world of downloadable video game console content is going to go through a lot of changes in the next 10-20 years until it finds a stable point, kind of like what just happened with the internet. I.e., it doesn't have many new things that pop up every year.

Well, I think the price of games will drop to $50 by the end of 2008, and the microtransactions will make up more and more of the amount spent on games. I also think the price of microtransactions will drop, i.e. SingStar, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution, and all other song games that will (probably) have songs for download will see the prices drop to about $1 to $1.50 each. They currently cost a little more than $2 on Guitar Hero 2 for the Xbox 360.

And for those who say that portable consoles (the PSP and DS) will rule the industry by 2010, just shut your faces up!
The home consoles will always be in control, because most people who play games on home consoles don't buy handhelds (and that won't change much, either). And also, the game software for home consoles will always be larger than portables. The games/360 ratio is over 5 per 360 right now, and neither the PSP or DS has more than 4 games per console. (The PSP and DS were released before the 360 came out).

Two to three weeks...

I haven't worked on my AMV for the past two days, and I won't be able to work on it much tomorrow, if I even get to work on it.
I won't be able to work on it this weekend, unless if I move the (very) large computer to another house.
So, I might have a couple days to work on it this weeks (three to four hours each day) and I might get more days of work on it next week, so it will probably be a couple weeks until I have completed it.

Working on NEW VIDEO!!!!

I am working on a new video now!!!

I spent about eight hours working on ripping DVDs onto my computer and converting them to a file that my trial version of Sony Vegas (I'm too poor for $90...) can use.

I finally found one, but each episode takes up almost 6 GB of space.

Well, I have about 30 seconds of the 4 minute AMV done, and I will (hopefully) get it done this weekend!
