My New House
On Friday (the 14th) I moved into my new house, and it's surprisingly big and spacious for a student house. Well, a student house in Leicester. The weekend in Leicester was great fun. I got to see people again, go on the radio and have a good laugh with the peeps and generally I came to understand what life would be like this year, with my new house and my new role in Demon TV.
The house, however, does have its problems.
I was just settling in, you know, finding the comfortable spots, picking my room, when I realised that a bulb had been broken in the room that I wanted. I found another room, which was practically the same but with the wrong plug layouts (trust me, plug layouts are important in a room) and so I stole the light bulb from there. Now, this being a particularly tall building, I had to stand on the bed to reach the light bulb, and it was an "only just" deal. Either way, taking the bulb out wasn't all that difficult. However, when I went back downstairs to put it in the empty bulb socket... if that's what it's called... and well, things got aggravating.
MOTHER FUCKING LIGHT BULB!
I was perched on the edge of my bed trying to get the damn lightbulb into the socket, but it just would not go in! I'm sure at least eight of you made a "that's what she said" joke. And now the rest of you have. Good, I'm glad we got that out of the way. Okay, she'd never say that. That one didn't even make sense. MOVE ON!
Okay, balance... balance... tease it in... TEASE IT! Why do light bulb shades have to get in the way so much? It's making this at least three times harder. POOF. Aha! By bending the shade outwards you can take it off its frame! How clever. Aw... but now there's really thick dust everywhere. God damn it. This better make it easier to... tease it... GOD DAMN IT.
I lost my balance all too often trying to do this. I almost decided that it wasn't worth living in this room with the correct plug socket placement, but I powered through, determined to get this damn light bulb in the damn bulb socket. I tried to find steadier alternatives, like my wheelie chair, which of course was a stupid idea because desk chairs aren't stable at all. I then moved the desk and put it next to my bed, stood on top and finally put the damn light bulb in the damn bulb socket.
FINALLY. Now I just have to put the shade back on. Okay, fold it forwards, the opposite of what you accidentally did before. It's easy. It's supposed to be easy. Why would be harder this way? That's just stupid. I SAID THAT'S JUST STUPID. THAT'S YOUR CUE TO WORK. THANK YOU. Ah... job done... Aside from all the dust that's now all over my room. Sigh. To the hooving machine!
Well after that was done, I made my bed, which was easy and then sat down to watch some Avatar, finish filming Entry #56 of Granite Moths and then render the bastard, ready to upload. I'm also reading Halo Glasslands at the moment, and if you're anticipating the release of Halo 4, I definitely recommend giving it a go since it'll explain some of the things that were unexplained prior to seeing the footage. Questions such as why the Elites would try to kill you despite the alliance that was formed during Halo 3. And I'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers. It's really interesting, and at least a million times better than the piss-poor effort Eric Nylund made of authoring his books. The stories were fine, but the writing style was so bad that I just had to read the summaries of his books on the Halo wiki. Also, if you did read Eric Nylund's books, Glasslands also picks up where Ghosts of Onyx left off. Eric Nylund was originally supposed to write this new trilogy of books, but Karen Traviss expressed interest and 343 picked the better option. Anyway, this has nothing to do with my moving in.
The light in the kitchen is one of those fluorescent strips that takes forever to turn on, and so soon I gave up using it and decided to navigate using the light of the lounge and the pantry. This turned out to be a bad idea.
Eugh, a patch of this rug is damp. But I didn't spill anything... what is that? It feels a bit like slime... Maybe someone spilled some Fairy liquid or something. I'd better turn on the light and check it out. Click.... ... ... Come on... and light! Okay, let's see what this- ah a slug! How the fuck did that get in here? Probably lived under the sink for a while. Alright, well, you're not staying in here. Out the door you go. And... fling! Man, looks like that guy didn't train to be a pilot.
I thought the slug problem had been dealt with, but when I returned later that evening to get a drink, apparently I was proven wrong.
Man, I love that Jon refrigerates filtered water. It just makes juice taste a little bit nicer. And it's cold, which is a squelch. Squelch? OH MOTHER FUCKING SLUGS! That's it, I'm leaving! You can stew there. I hope you like the taste of sole, dick hole. You can sit there and die. Normally I don't let creatures suffer, but you have entered my domain, and therefore new rules apply. Dickhead.
When I returned the next morning, all slug activity seemed to have vanished, but even so my footing was careful. That said, when I looked later on with James, the slugs had apparently multiplied and grown. I think I may have started a war with the slugs by injuring one of their princes or something. I don't fucking know. Either way we're eradicating them one way or another. It's not racist, trust. Slugs live in damp burrows and stuff. I think. Either way, they don't live in people house. People live in people houses. You know what you can legally do in America if someone unlawfully intrudes on your property? Shoot them in the face. Same rules apply to slugs. And I've got a pellet or two for them. Hahaha, pellet. See that's funny, because you kill slugs with slug pellets, but shotguns use pellets as well. Whoa, hahah. Fricking comedy genius right here.
Uh, yeah, anyway. This weekend has been well fun, but now the countdown to the end of the summer has begun with my final week in Kettering. Dun dun dunnn....

Granite Moths - Entry #56
So things are getting more interesting in the world of Granite Moths. The plot is getting thicker, P's lie is getting thinner, and the DVD Rewinder is on the fritz. It's all pretty cool.

Pete Plays Games
Yeah, so I play a couple of games for this week's video.
What's interesting about one of the games I played, Facade, is that it is a really unique AI-based game. It's based around the idea that a couple are having an argument at the time that they invite you over for a few drinks. You can either sit there and listen to them for a while, or you can engage in the discussion yourself. The AI characters then take on board what you say and form appropriate responses. It's really, very clever. And the best part? It's free! Now I know things like this already exist in the form of search engines and Siri, but they're all keyword stuff. Okay, it's obvious that this is keyword stuff as well, but then it selects the most appropriate thing to say from its extensive list of conversational items. Sometimes it can get a little jarred, but on the most part it's very fluid and you really feel part of the moment. Until the guy kicks you out for repeatedly asking his wife to suck your balls, or have a threesome, or say that her tits look great. It's all part of the fun. One day, I may even try to do an entire run-through and see if there's an ending. Ooohhh....
Other than that, Happy Wheels is fucking hilarious.

Granite Moths - Entry #55
This week, Jim's scenes from the behind show an interesting new insight into the filming of Granite Moths, and also how Extra 2 hardly ever seems to talk while he is outside.
Hmm. How very interesting.

A Bee and a Rhino
If you are an avid reader of this blog, then you may recognise the story that I told in today's video. It was from ages ago, so I won't bother linking it. Besides, the story is right above you in video form. That's all you need, right? Good.
Anyway, September's shaping up to be a pretty good month. I'll be moving into my new house soon and then going back to uni. Fun stuff.

THIS IS NOT A VIDEO
Damn straight. You might not care, but I care very much that most of my posts these days seem to be just video shares. Now, to get things straight, I am very busy with all my video work. I work on Granite Moths like, every day. If I'm not filming it then I'm definitely editing it. And if I'm not editing it nor filming it, then I'm definitely scripting it. And if I'm not doing anything to do with Granite Moths, then I'm filming for my channel, or planning for future videos.
Yeah, videos take up a lot of my time. But I don't mind, because videos are fucking awesome. Today, YouTube is the second-most popular search engine next to Google, and there is a very good reason for that. More and more each day, people are giving up on the written word and converting solely to video. They don't really even want to listen to the radio. Hell, even music is listened to in playlists on YouTube. Yeah, music videos have become the preferred way to listen to music. Quite frankly I find that bullshit, because while music videos can be cool, they're not really for watching unless done well. And let's face it, for a music video to be worth watching it has to be pretty spectacular.
Well, for me anyway.
I'm not innocent of this trend, though. Every morning I wake up and eat breakfast while watching whatever TV programme I am currently occupied by. At the moment it's Supernatural, which is awesome. Every week I watch the new episode of Futurama or whatever else is coming out and maybe I'll watch one or two movies a week as well. I also watch over two hours of YouTube videos in a week. For god's sake, Toby Turner literally makes a five minute video every single day, and Rooster Teeth make at least two hours of content to watch every week. And I really don't mind. Because they're fucking awesome. Hell, I wouldn't bother making videos if these guys hadn't inspired me to. So there, videos are fucking cool.
However, the written word should not be forgotten about. If I have an hour or so spare, then I'll pick up whatever book I have on the go and read a chapter of it. Occasionally this gets me in the mood to write something. I'm trying to script a Minecraft series with every episode following the steps of Vlad Propp's narrative theory, and that's hard. I've never had such a mental block before. So that won't be done for ages yet. I hope that soon I get in the mood and just get the flipping scripts done.
But yeah, a long time ago I said I'd make comics. Yeah, I'm giving up on that purely because I can't think of stories that I could draw. I'm just going to incorporate Cliché Life Man into my live action videos because I can. I may eventually start making new Halo comics, because they were pretty awesome, but again I need stuff to go on and I can't be bothered thinking up ideas. I've already got enough idea making going on.
So yeah, that's what's happening, video-wise. Blog-wise I'm going to writing a... an erotic fanfiction of a popular story on request of Rhys Davies, and I'm going to try and start doing the update posts again. You know, get back into the habit of actually telling you about my life rather than you watching what I do in my fake video life. Guess I'll make a post soon. But to make it clear, the summer is always a bad time to blog, because while I can make lots of videos, there's not really that many unique things that happen that are really worth blogging about. However, I used to blog about my days at school, so you know.
I reckon Inside Voice should deal with some of the update posts though. They can be quite amusing.
Anyway, I'm really quite done.

ToTheRC - Decay
This week, ToTheRC responds with an interesting message about stalker insurance. I bet half of you wouldn't mind that, eh? Covered for all injuries you may sustain by trying to breach my defences.

007 PARODY
Woooow! Look at this. This is awesome. This is one of the best things I've filmed in quite a while. It was such good fun to make as well. The fact that I got to play with actual airsoft guns for the final firefight was just super cool. Not only did I get new toys, but I got to mess with loads of new editing techniques as well, such as wall and couch hits, and even making Joe's head explode at the end there. How cool was that? Very, that's how.
Either way, this month I promise I'll start to actually write actual posts. Last month I had one post which wasn't a video share and comment, so this month will be better, trust.
Pete out.
