And as for the fan art in question, here's the awesomely awesome painting that Lyn did for me:
It's cool, right? I think I might hang it on my wall when I'm rich and pretentious.
Okay, I'm already pretentious.
Stay tuned.

Uhh... How?
So this month has been quite a month for Cliché Life Stuff. I don't know how exactly, because I haven't really done anything different from any other month. I suppose this month has really been about not only embracing my video-making side, but also about not forgetting some of the older stuff that this blog was all about. I was about to mention the word "hay-day" but the entire purpose of this post is to realise that this month has been my blog's hay-day.
I'm serious, the internet has gone insane.
You remember a little while back I made that post where I noticed some things? Well, one particular day of this month 600 people from America decided to look at that post because of this picture:
I think what happened is a lot of atheists decided to look up this picture of absolute Christian stupidity. By making this logo of a "Truth" fish eating a "Darwin" fish (a fish with legs). This is essentially the Christian community backing up the theory of Darwinism, and you can read more about it in the post.
But seriously. 600 views on that picture in one day? It doesn't even end there. Normally I get between 300 and 400 views per month on average, with an old peak of 598 which I thought I wasn't going to beat for a long time. Well okay, the Darwin-eating-Truth fish topped it in one day, but on top of that I've had another 600 independent views. WOW. My count for this month is at 1,257 views. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty happy with that. I was nearly not going to count this as a record, but the figures are there. 600 independent views on top of 600 Americans looking at that funny fish. I'm pretty damn happy.
So, is my technique of bringing in more viewers working, or have I just made more posts that fit Google searches? Maybe, just maybe, the internet has actually gone insane. This blog is only really worth looking at if you're a friend of mine.
Well fuck it, enjoy my blog, internet. It's not going to get any more streamlined to meet social needs.

Video Projects
So here they are for those of you who haven't seen them yet :)
These are what I've been working on for the past couple of months, and I'm pretty damn happy with them (beside the animation) if I do say so myself.
If you'd like to feedback, could you please comment on the video on the YouTube page, and that would be very much appreciated :)
Anyway, now it's back to do some paperwork.

40 Truths AGAIN
Okay, so someone new has been snooping around my blog. I've mentioned Lyn in my latest couple of blog posts, and now she's being all nosey and researching about me. I don't mean that in a bad way; it's nice that apparently my older stuff is worth reading through to pass time (it's not; it's really, really bad, don't look at my old stuff. Ever.)
Either way, she copied this post from me, and in it said that I should do it again and compare answers. Well, let's see what happens then.
Also, I hate myself for this. Blog quizzes are so 2009.
40 Secrets about yourself.
Be honest no matter what...
1 - Have you ever been asked out?
Original answer: Yes, yes I have. First ever relationship I was asked out, back when I was shy and naiive.
New answer: Yes, yes I have. Don't know if that should be a proud moment or not, but fuck it. I like saying "but fuck it" because it sounds a bit like... well you know. I'll translate it into proper English terms for you who aren't fans of harsh language. "Rectum copulate it." There, that's what "but fuck it" sounds like.
2 - Where was your avatar picture taken?
Original answer: Well all of them were taken in my bedroom, don't think I have one on the blog yet though.
New answer: IN MY FLAT. Not sure why that needed to be shouted. But it was in my flat at uni. It's cool.
3 - What is your middle name?
Original answer: Luke - A biblical referrence, like the rest of my name. Except my last name, that means son of rabbit.
New answer: Luke - but I'm not going to get philosophical about it because NO ONE CARES.
4 - Your current relationship status?
Original answer: Desperately single. Seriously, it's like the most single anyone could be. But meh.
New answer: Fuckin' single, baby! YEAH! Playin' the field, catchin' the ball, scorin' a goal, you know how it goes.
5 - Does your crush like you back?
Original answer: Hahaha, I've given up on saying I have a 'crush' on someone. Now it's just "Oh she's nice" or simply "I would" Cliché guy response there.
New answer: Crush? Those things still happen? Well, Linda, 24 who is allegedly from Northampton says that I'm very handsome and that she loves what I do to her. To this day, I have never understood what I'm doing to her. Mainly because she's an email robot and she goes straight into my junk folder. Talk about white trash.
6 - What is your current mood?
Original answer: Oh I'm alright, bit miffed but hey? When aren't I?
New answer: Fabulous! *coughs* I am masculine, I promise.
7 - What color underwear are you wearing?
Original answer: Ooh, cheeky, oh do stop *waves hand like a gay man* But anyway, my boxer shorts are blue today I think.
New answer: Wouldn't it be weird if I were wearing blue boxer shorts today? *checks* OH MY GOD.
8 - What color shirt are you wearing?
Original answer: Ees green, senor, my colour I've been told.
New answer: Green? Green is so not my colour. My colour is like a... an aggressive nutmeg or a seabreeze terracotta. Either way my shirt is grey.
9 - Missing something?
Original answer: Why? What have you taken?
New answer: HAH! I was a comedian even back then!
10 - If you could go back in time and change something, what would you do?
Original answer: Take a guess, genius. I'd cure lukemia.
New answer: Well, I could be cliché and say that I'd change all the stupid mistakes that I made. But then again, would I be this awesome if I hadn't made those mistakes? If I was cocky back then wouldn't I be some kind of hideous monstrosity with the capability to annoy millions? Precisely. Time travel is very nearly pointless.
11 - If you must be an animal for one day, what and why?
Original answer: Oh I wouldn't be one animal, I'd be a bald eagle, a snake, a frog, a dolphin, a kangaroo and definitely a wolf. Maybe a rabbit. I don't give simple answers.
New answer: Whoa, excuse me? If I must be? Surely you mean "if you had to be". Use the fucking correct tense, bitch! Either way, wolves are cool. So are eagles. But then again, the answer I gave before was perfectly valid. If I could be an animal for one day, what's stopping me from being a different animal another day?
12 - Ever had a near death experience?
Original answer: I nearly got molested by two drunk men. They had broken bottles. I've also nearly been in a car crash, me on the road.
New answer: Whoa dude! Keep it light-hearted. Uh, well this year I passed out on a toilet. Pretty sure if I hadn't been dragged into my bed I may have suffocated or something.
13 - Something you do a lot?
Original answer: What don't I do a lot? Catch herpes. That's what.
New answer: I swear the point of this was to be honest. In that spirit, I often dress up as a superhero and bring criminals to justice.
14 - The song stuck in your head?
Original answer: and why do birds... suddenly appear... everytime... you and I are near? Just like me, they long to be... close to yohoouu
New answer: and we'll take a bullet from heaven! Bullet from Heaven by Chris Ostler - music video that I made for that is on the YouTubes, and soon I'll put it on the blog.
15 - Who did you copy and paste this from?
Original answer: The interweb.
New answer: MYSELF. Under the guidance of Lyn, of course.
16 - Name someone who has the same birthday as you.
Original answer: No one shares my birthday. Not that I know of anyway. I mean, I'm sure someone does, but I don't care. It's my day.
New answer: NO ONE. There are people who come close, but no cigar.
17 - When was the last time you cried?
Original answer: I don't cry. One of my many flaws.
New answer: The beginning of Uni. I was all like, "shit, I actually have to look after myself, and none of my friends are here to support me." Oh, and I also cried a little bit at that scene in Gears of War 3 where [redacted] [redacted]s. It was just so sad! You could say I'm much more in-touch with my emotions than I used to be, which is good.
18 - Have you ever sang in front of a large audience?
Original answer: Oui. I did a solo at my old school for our leaving performance. "We could anything that we wanted to be, and it's not too late to chahange"
New answer: Why yes, yes I have. And the answer is right above this one. Don't think I'd ever have the confidence to do it again. For one thing, I can't sing anymore; I've lost an entire octave of my voice since that time. I can only sing one octave now, between the F below middle C and the F beneath that. Hah!
19 - If you could have one super power what would it be?
Original answer: Telekenesis. Moving stuff with my mind. Opening doors without touching them. Shit like that.
New answer: I'd definitely keep that answer. Telekenesis is just so cool. If you can train yourself well enough as well then you can fly. Which would be just so cool.
20 - What's the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Original answer: Shape if I can't see their face (I refrain from saying boobs) and then their lips. In fact, the girl's features as an ensemble. There isn't a particular part of a girl that makes me go "ooh I would" and then I look at her face and go "Oh maybe not" No, it's always "Okay, she could be hot, okay, turn around, let me see your face, nice fit."
New answer: Their personality. Hah, you thought that was a joke. No, I'm deadly serious. Most nice girls are very attractive, whereas girls I don't like and have those really weird personalities that are somehow bitchy, nerdy, depressing and all other bad traits rolled into one are usually like the most hideous creatures on the planet, and then there are girls who are kind of attractive but are just SO ANNOYING and that's like "once and never again". Fuckin' top guy right here.
21 - What do you usually order from Starbucks?
Original answer: I don't.
New answer: Apparently Starbucks exists in this country. I am still yet to find one. I always thought that Costa Coffee was the thing over here. But whatever, hot drinks are disgusting. Tea tastes like hot water with mud in it, and coffee tastes like hot water with more mud in it. People tell me it's because I don't drink the right type, so they show me the right type, and it's like, "This is a slightly more disgusting kind of mud in my drink of hot water." I just don't get it. Even hot chocolate is like hot coco-pops milk. And I hate cereal, so that's that out of the window.
22 - What's your biggest secret?
Original answer: Ooh, sneaky.
New answer: I'm a Pokémon master.
23 - Favorite color?
Original answer: I don't particularly care. I have a favourite colour for different things. Par exemple, I would have a red shirt, but not red trousers. I would cream leather seats, but a metalic grey car.
New answer: Ooh, look at me using French vocab. How fancy. La-di-da. Also, you spelt colour wrong. I'm just saying. I don't want to get all up in your grill about it, but it has a 'u' in it. That's how it's spelt.
24 - Do you still watch kiddie shows or tv shows?
Original answer: I watch man shows. Scrubs. Heroes. TV panel shows like Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You. Other stuff.
New answer: No. I still play the original Pokémon games though. They're fuckin' cool!
25 - What's on your wall?
Original answer: Currently my personal England shirt and a couple of achievables.
New answer: Well, on this wall I have a shelf with books, some posters, my personal England shirt still, and on my wall in my flat I have NOTHING. Oh, except a Demon FM poster because I'm loyal to the cause.
26 - What are you?
Original answer: Magic. Possibly in a can.
New answer: AWESOOOOOMMMMEEE!!!!!!
27 - Do you speak any other language?
Original answer: Every language on the face of the planet.
New answer: Bitch, please, French and German. Don't be gettin' ahead of yourself.
28 - What's your favorite smell?
Original answer: Smoked ham. Seriously, it's like the best smell of all time. I can sit there and sniff at my sandwich for ages.
New answer: Bacon.
29 - Describe your life in one word.
Original answer: Meh.
New answer: Bacon.
30 - Have you ever kissed in the rain?
Original answer: Oui, my first. It was alright. Not going to make a fuss.
New answer: Bacon.
31 - What are you thinking about right now?
Original answer: I'm just thinking about what I would be doing right now if I was a spy. Perhaps I'd be sitting on a bench, with good bush coverage, so that there is little chance of an ambush.
New answer: Bacon.
33 - What should you be doing?
Original answer: Work. That I said I'd be doing instead of whatever the other option this evening was.
New answer: Bacon.
34 - Who was the last being that made you upset/angry?
Original answer: Hmm, good question. Probably me, I do that a lot.
New answer: I was about to put bacon again, but bacon is the most wonderful thing ever. You can never be upset or angry if bacon is involved. "YOU WHAT?! YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH TERRY?! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU-- ooh, bacon." See? Uh, but yeah... I don't know, people getting up my grill about being skinny. They're cunts. I'm still a person of way more intelligence than them. Just because they manage to put on weight by eating less than I do doesn't mean they get to pick on me for it. Dick-ends. Like, serious dick-ends.
35 - How often do you talk to God?
Original answer: All the time. Yeah, me and the g-dogg are like that *does weird gangsta thing with the fingers and the chest hitting and the what not*.
New answer: I'd like my answer to be different here, but no, god and I are still tight.
37 - If you could have any last name in the world, what would you want?
Original answer: Jeremy. Yup, that's right, it's a first name, not a last name. Get me.
New answer: Hunt. Imagine it. Peter Hunt. It's just so cool!
39 - What is your natural hair color?
Original answer: This.
New answer: Well, it's like a... well, half of it is blonde and the other half is brown.
40 - What are you terrible at?
Original answer: Oh just about everything.
New answer: Being terrible at things. PARADOX!!!!
Wow, look at that. I think I am at least 100% more hilarious than I used to be. What an insight. Either way, it's still a stupid quiz.

DOGS WITH GUNS
Whheewww!
This vlog semi-relates to the blog post I did on like... Monday? We'll say Monday. Monday is a good day to say. Also, no Electric Teapots this week just so we have a chance to not do any kind of work this week, and it also gives us a nice opportunity to move back to uni without the fuss of having to make a video.

Salute to Stupidity: Polar Bears and Rent
I'm just going to go ahead and copy and paste a conversation that Lyn and I had the other day. While she was gone, I went a bit mad.
Vivialyn Joynson: I love polar bears!
Peter Hutchinson: and that's all the polar bears want really. The only reason people think they're being attacked is because the polar bears just want to hug everyone
Vivialyn Joynson: Hahah
Peter Hutchinson: and then they get angry when they're rejected
Vivialyn Joynson: Poor polar bears :(
Peter Hutchinson: They're very jealous animals. And their home is being repossessed. You thought it was global warming
Vivialyn Joynson: My mum's just got home, I'll be right back
Peter Hutchinson: Okay, I'll carry on with my polar bear story
Vivialyn Joynson: Although I'm not gonna risk giving you a time frame cus I probably won't stick to it this time :P And okay, I'll definitely read it when I get back :P
Peter Hutchinson: Awesome. So yeah, it's not global warming that's destroying their homes. See, whales are actually the landlords of the seas and the polar bears just haven't been able to keep up with the rent. Because you know, a giant sheet of prime real estate ice in the middle of the northern hemisphere is very expensive to maintain and they keep having to repair the icebergs that break off. It's just one thing after another. The polar bears don't really have a chance. The penguins are trying to help. But it's the whole moving thing. The whales would get pissed off if the polar bears tried to move to the south pole. They've even gone as far as grounding all of the polar bear planes until the rent has been paid. So it's just one big circle. The polar bears couldn't move even if they get evicted. You could say that we could help them, but we don't have any polar currency. No one knows what it is. The whales won't let us bank with them. This is also why our economy is broken. Whales are really good with money. Like, better than the swiss. This might make the whales look like bad people, but they're endangered; they've got to look after their investments. And this is why everyone in the world needs to learn to like each other.
Sorry if there's like a billion grammatical errors in there and some of it didn't make much sense; it was copied and pasted from a Skype conversation so I had to convert talking into sentences, and that can be difficult sometimes.
Either way, I thought it was quite amusing, and so did Lyn. For those of you who don't know Lyn, she plays Tessica in Entry #52 of the popular web-series, Granite Moths, and I must say I regret not finding her sooner because she's like the best actress ever. She's a million times better than any of us and can actually learn lines!
Either way, there's the real story for why Polar Bears are in trouble. Not all this global warming crap that the American government don't do anything about. They know what's really at stake. Obama is in league with the whales.
We must get the whale money.
Pete out.
Vivialyn Joynson: I love polar bears!
Peter Hutchinson: and that's all the polar bears want really. The only reason people think they're being attacked is because the polar bears just want to hug everyone
Vivialyn Joynson: Hahah
Peter Hutchinson: and then they get angry when they're rejected
Vivialyn Joynson: Poor polar bears :(
Peter Hutchinson: They're very jealous animals. And their home is being repossessed. You thought it was global warming

Gadget Show Live
What an awesome day this was. The Gadget Show Live was a chance for the best of the technology industry to strut their stuff and show off all of their latest tech, some of it not yet released to the public.
For example, Lenova were showcasing their "innovative" new tabtop. I'm going to call it a tabtop because they didn't. It's a semi-decent notebook that, when you fold it over, becomes a tablet. WOW. The only reason that this is impressive is that they are really the first to do it like this. All other companies have done tablets with detachable keyboards. But if I'm honest, it is about time that there is a laptop on the market that you can fold flat. I mean, I never use my laptop flat, but I'd feel a lot better about the safety of my laptop if it could fold flat. Plus then, you can have wall mounts for laptops so you can fully integrate them with your house. Say you're a software developer and you're building a programmable house. How convenient would it be for you to hold your laptop, and then put it on the wall so you can program a room! I should be in the technology industry inventing this shit.
Anyway, what else did we see? Well, in the morning Dukey and Josh decided it would be an amazing idea to play on this bike thing, and they managed to get on the leaderboard!
This was just the start of a horribly heated competition.
Soon it was time for the actual live show, which naturally didn't skimp out at all on the tech:
Yes, that is a live Twitter feed on that giant circular TV. I know how those are made now. It's quite impressive. And expensive. But either way, the show was awesome. It had a dude with lasers, a dude with a helicopter, and awesome robotic bird, it had everything! Including attractive women!
I mean, the attractive women were just part of it. They weren't the whole thing, but they were part of it. I would share more pictures of the live show with you, but my video camera only takes pictures when it recognises faces and wants to take pictures.
I'm going to make a video of this soon.
So what else was there? Well, there were robots with deadly, deadly weapons:
There was a jet-powered bike:
And there were even mega awesome super funky cracking spiffing all of the above cameras that made me WOW:
It's embarrassing that my pathetic little Lumix couldn't even take a high quality picture of those Canons. I must have one of those. It's imperative. I mean, for god's sake, those lenses need bipods! That's super cool by anyone's standard. Sure it'd cost like £10,000 + to get one of those but it'd be worth it. It'd be so worth it.
Anyway, towards the end of the day, the one thing that kept Dukey awake and active was the thought of being the number one of that stupid bike thing:
Yes, well done.
So that was good fun, and as I say I'll be putting together a video montage of the event soon enough.

WALTER
What a not-so action-packed week this has been!
Stay tuned.
Oh, and tell me what you think of the new colour-scheme. I updated it to fit my LOGO colours. If you think it still needs a lick of paint here and there, comment below, otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.

Salute to Stupidity: Alannah's Text
Okay, so I woke up the other morning and noticed that I had a text sitting around. I proceeded to read it. It was sent by Alannah at 3am of that morning. The message confused me.
Alannah: "Time is running out, it's hard when curly fries stand in the way. Do not be drawn by their temptation xo"
Me: "Umm... I don't think I have a response for that. Time is running out for what exactly?"
Alannah: "Ahahahahahahhahahahahahah! Congratulations for being a recipient of one of my sleep texts! (a.k.a. I text you in my sleep) ahahahahah! Oh dear hahaha xox"
Me: "You text in your sleep? That's amazing. And also hilarious. I definitely think you should enter some kind of talent show with that skill."
So yeah, that was definitely I think the most confused I have ever been at half ten in the morning. Either way, I promised Lannah I would blog something about this, and at first I thought of making a story, but then I thought what would be way cooler would be to make a comic strip! YES! AN EXCUSE TO DO A COMIC STRIP!
I fuckin' love comics.
Well, there you have it. Another Salute to Stupidity. It's been a while since something amusing enough to blog about has happened, so thank you Alannah for providing my life with a bit of uplifting humour :)
Oh yeah, and those images are all 1600x900, so if you want to make any of them your desktop wallpaper then be my guest. Of course I don't expect you to because they're terrible, but I think they have a certain charm to them. But yeah, if you want them, they're there. I don't care if you re-use them because like hell are they going to make any money.
But shouting LOGO and punching cameras; that's my thing. It will always be my thing. You're not allowed to use it. It's mine forever.
Oh, and seeing as I'm blogging right now I fully intend to start designing t-shirts soon just in case I get loads of money and can start ordering them/selling them. If you have any designs then I'd be happy to take a look at them. Just Facebook or email them to me.
Anyway, that's this Salute done. Who will make me laugh next? Only time will tell.

Granite Moths Screening
So on Saturday night, the lads and ladies of the Granite Moths fanbase were treated to the amazing spectacle known to you mortals as a screening of Granite Moths. It went down a treat, with the obvious favourites being towards the end of season 2, where indeed we put most of our effort.
But ah, what a journey Granite Moths has been. It started out as a harmless terrible, awful parody that people liked because it was shit but hilarious. Now look at it. It's fantastic. It turned from a grape into a grapefruit. Now it's in HD and actual time and effort is put into editing it. It's awesome. It's the single greatest achievement I've ever made in my videoing career, and it acts as practise for everything I do.
For example, Entry #52 solved a problem that would have presented itself in the future if I didn't need to do it now. And that's muzzle flash. Because one gun was used in the original, obviously this has to turn into a Gears of War-themed showdown with bucket-loads of rounds fired and loads of scenes scattered all over the place and such. It was amazing.
You know what else is amazing? The time and effort everyone puts in. I mean, I put the most in because I script it, film it and edit it, but the other guys act in it. Josh even occasionally makes a ToTheRC video. But seriously, we've filmed in my home town, we filmed stuff in Cornwall, Leicester and all the way up in Durham. We've spanned the country in search of locations, and unfortunately we encountered a problem when Cornwall needed to turn up a second time, but we didn't have the means to get there a second time so... we improvised.
But that's why this project has been such fun. We've occasionally had to completely replace characters and actually have some characters on screen twice to make a scene work. With our amazingly creative minds (I say "our" when I really mean mine) and my awesome camera and editing talents (I say "my" when I really do actually just mean my) we can create comedy and visual gold. I say we... I'm just going to move on.
But wow, what a team. Let's just review the characters in case you don't know enough about them.
P
It has been recently revealed that his full name is Pavlyuchenkow Tchchtthaaa. The spelling of his second name entirely depends on how you pronounce your static noises. Throughout Season 1, P was a porn enthusiast, and wasn't keen on letting Alec's work go to waste. Upon realising that Alec was being stalked by Slender Man, he started to investigate and got horribly mixed up in the mystery, and regretted all of it. In Season 2, it is revealed that P was in fact trying to make a wildlife documentary, and is in fact completely obsessed with catching wildlife on camera. Perhaps even of the slender variety. Now P has even ditched his wildlife documentary so he can completely focus on finding Alec and unravelling the mystery. This guy is played by me, by the way, and I've only gotten better in terms of acting I believe. This character is the parody of Jay from Marble Hornets.
Alec
He's a dick. We know that he was trying to make a porn film, but then got sidetracked by this Slender character, and is now probably possessed by him. We know little of Alec's current state, because all footage of him is from at least a year in the past. Alec is played by Peter Duke, who is lazy and never learns the script before a shoot. This character is the parody of Alex from Marble Hornets.
Jim/Masky
After Masky's mask is taken off, Jim slowly begins his process back to normality. Somewhere between Entry #32 (the entry in which Jim attacks P, the previous closest to an up-to-date event we have) and Entry #52 (the latest entry and also the most up-to-date event) Jim becomes normal again and resumes his hunt for his "precious". Jim/Masky is played by Josh Hilton, who is completely dedicated to looking like a knob all the time. He brings out a lot of the funny in the show. This character is the parody of Tim/the Masked Man from Marble Hornets.
Extra 1
Little is known about Extra 1, apart from the fact that she is female and is played by Joe Hadden. She also makes no appearances ever in Granite Moths. It should be said that this character is the parody of Sarah from Marble Hornets.
Extra 2
Extra 2 was the main actor for Alec's porn film, but has since vanished. In Season 1, P raids his house THREE TIMES and finds nothing. No current footage exists of him, but it is assumed that he is linked in some way to the current events of Granite Moths. This character is played by Joe Hadden and is the parody of Brian from Marble Hornets.
Extra 3
Another extra whom we know little about. Extra 3 only appeared a few times in Granite Moths, but it is assumed that he is dead or MIA due to the events in Entry #22 when he and Alec are attacked by an unknown entity. This character is played by Joe Hadden and is the parody of Seth from Marble Hornets.
Fucking Hot Blonde
At the very end of Season 1, we see that Alec has found comfort in a new partner: Fucking Hot Blonde, who does not have blonde hair, but has what appears to be a pink scarf. It is suspected that she has cancer, or is dead because of the events with Slender Man in her only appearance in the show. This character is played by Joe Hadden and is the parody of Amy from Marble Hornets.
Tessica
Tessica is Season 2's newcomer, being revealed as Hot Blonde's room-mate, but after the events of Entry #32 her current situation is not known. Because of recruitment problems, Tessica has been played by lots of people, including me and Josh in voice, but now we finally have someone to play as her and that person is Lyn Joynson, and this character is also the parody of Jessica from Marble Hornets.
Are we nearly done yet?
ToThePark
Nothing is known about ToThePark, only that he is just some guy who happened to be walking in the woods on the same day as P in entry #31. This guy is played by Joe Hadden and is the parody of some guy who happened to be walking in the woods on the same day as Jay in Entry #31 of Marble Hornets.
ToTheBeard
ToTheBeard was killed by Alec in Entry #49. It was a sad loss. Nothing is known of his history or background. He was played by Mitchell Bellamy and is the parody of the guy that Alex killed from Marble Hornets.
Blasky
Little to nothing is known about Blasky. All that is known is that he carried P's camera back to Alec/P's car in Entry #41. Apart from that, we know nothing. We don't even know who plays him. Seriously, whenever we need Blasky we blow a horn and then up he pops like a black Derren Brown. He's the parody of the Black Masked Man from Marble Hornets.
ToTheRC
Assumed to be Blasky, but is unknown. This is not a character as such, and more the name of the YouTube account that follows Granite Moths and posts responses to the videos. It is not known who makes or posts these videos. It is a parody of ToTheArk from Marble Hornets. We do know, however, that TTRC is trying to kill Alec and potentially help P. Although this is to be confirmed.
Slender Man
Another elusive character, but also the entity that drives the entire plot of Granite Moths. Nothing is known of him aside from the fact that he has an affinity towards people who film themselves while they sleep. This character is played by a stuffed six foot Pink Panther and is the parody of The Operator from Marble Hornets.
So that's the characters. Now it's time for a treat.
Pete out.

Batman and Bowling For Soup
Right, this post is going to be packed because I haven't done a packed post in a while. Also, because I'm not lazy I'm definitely going to be making some sort of awesome load of posts over this holiday because not only do I have time to, but because I feel like this blog is becoming somewhat neglected. Okay yes, the videos make it more difficult to fill my written posts with stuff, but still, I feel like I should do something cartoony soon. I haven't done a random story in a while, so that's definitely going to happen. No ifs or buts.
So let's do it!
Right, so let's talk about Bowling For Soup.
The day began as any does in the Land of University. I woke up, threw up, missed my assessment slot, had to re-arrange and went back to bed for three hours. At the ripe old time of 13:00 I got up and ended up being in someone's film project because I'm awesome. I then did my assessment for my animation, which went fine and I'm sure we'll get heaps of marks for it.
Anyway, after that I'm pretty sure I watched a film, and then ate some food, and then the Brotherhood arrived for our date with Bowling for Soup. So I loaded my gear into Dukey's car because it was the last day of term and suddenly he became my lift home and then we shot off to Birmingham.
Now this is the annoying bit. Because us men are men, we believed the map as opposed to the direction everyone was walking in. Bekah informed us of this trick to get us to the correct venue, but the map told us a completely different direction. Eventually I think it was Josh who asked some well-dressed women where the O2 Academy was, and it turns out that we had indeed gone in totally the wrong direction. Don't blame us men, we were listening to science. It just so happens that science had wronged us this time.
Anyway, Bowling for Soup. Here they are:
As you can see, it was just the two guys, and they were playing an acoustic set, which meant that I thought that the typical throw hand in air with devil horns (the rock hand) was totally out of place here, and yet one guy was doing it persistently. In either case, it was a really good evening and the music was insanely good. As soon as I can be bothered I'll put the video online, but I'm lazy so it'll probably not be done until I do it right now. There, it's being uploaded. Check out my YouTube channel soon.
Anyway, the rest of the week has been described by my video for this week, so enjoy that :)
I'm also sorry about how long it took me to post this.
Pete out.
