P PLAYS SLENDER



So, ToTheRC has stolen some footage of P playing Slender. It looks like our handsome hero can't even do a shit now without Blasky getting all up in his wine coolers about it.

Who knows what will happen in the near future?

MEET THE HEROES



Yeah... I need to get better at posting my videos. I also need to get better at posting in general. It took me two weeks to write my account of Nickleback. But hey, I'm a busy man.

Anyway, this video is hopefully going to lead into a new line of shorts that I'll be doing. Remember the LOGO Saga? I'm going to try and tie them together. It's going to be cool.

Nickelback

So last Tuesday I went to go and see Nickelback. I would've blogged about it earlier, but hey, I'm a busy guy. As such, this post might not be very long either. Anyway, let's get on with it.

To start off with, I wasn't too keen on the idea that a band who isn't as good as Reel Big Fish would cost more than their gig, and twice more to be precise, but I was pressured into it. Like, actually pressured into it. I didn't have a choice. Not even a little bit. I was like, "Forty quid? Aaahhhh... I don't know..." and then somehow by the end of the conversation I had said yes. I do not remember saying yes, but apparently a positive notion was expressed, and therefore I had to cough over the required £40. What a fucking rip off for music. I'm glad I didn't pay any money for any of their albums.

As ever, the journey over was eventful. Josh's shitey one hundred year old sat-nav did little in the way of directing us to the ... NIA I think it's called, but either way the TomTom didn't know where on Earth that was, so we drove to Birmingham and used our instincts. That, and we followed the signs. But, it was fun, and that's the point of all of our road journeys.

Anyway, on to the actual gig. We arrived as Daughtery were playing. Joe and I figured that daughtery was like adultery but the other way round and centralised around one particular gender. I'll leave you to figure out which gender it is. OI! No peeking. Just work it out. It's not even that hard. Haven't got it yet? Females, you tit-box of epic proportions.

If you had the answer before I said it, then I do apologise and you can have a gold star. Just email me your address and I'll send one on a crow. People still use messenger crows, right?

Anyway, back to the actual gig. While we were milling around, Bekah decided to pull a funny face. A funnier face, in fact, than Josh's:


Don't think that's happened in a long while. Maybe Josh has lost his touch. At least Joe's smiling.

Anyway, if anything was going to make the gig worth going to, it was this:



MUSIC AND VIDEO! ALL IN ONE COMBINATION! It's like they had me in mind when they decided how to make the gig inventive. I know big gigs are probably like this all the time, but hey, I've never wanted to pay £40 for music before, so this was pretty big for me. I guess it makes sense, though, if they didn't do something like this then I'd have been really disappointed. Believe it or not, but I don't care much about seeing bands live unless they're not popular enough to be in a big, crowded venue like the NIA. Small bands are just fucking awesome. Anyway, Nickelback actually out-did themselves.

If any of you are nice enough, though, I've found what I want for my birthday:


It's super cool, right? A standing piano, but with cogs and shit on it!

Anyway, it definitely was worth the money in the end, and the fact that they managed to impress me made it all the more worth-while going.

New Semester!

Wooooow. So a new semester has just started, and you know what that means? It means that, once again, I'm really fucking busy. Let me briefly talk about last week.

So last week was freshers' week, which is a week in which the freshers get free stuff and drink a lot of alcohol and get the fabled "freshers flu" just in time for the start of lectures. It's pretty fun. So on Monday morning we got up at stupid o'clock and got onto campus at 9 o'stupid to film stuff. I can't really remember what even happened. I know we got lots and lots of footage and lots and lots of chinese food. Seriously, all we had to do was walk up to the booth and flash their number at them, and they gave us noodles or egg fried rice or something. It was super cool.

The second day was fun. Demon Media set up their own stall and we were standing around all day talking to people. The Wednesday was pretty much the same as well, but I had fewer people to work with, and for a few hours I was entirely alone. Over the two days we got 300 to sign up to Demon Media, and I must have talked to at least 200 of them. At the start of the two days I had barely any clue what to say to people, but by the end I had developed a routine that included the fact that we have £4000,000 worth of equipment, and that I don't know anything about the paper, and that it's really fun. I also said other things, but you know.

The Thursday was probably the most fun day of all. This was bodge day, when we got all of the Media Prod students to film random stuff and record random stuff. My first group were great. They had to make a wildlife documentary in the style of Blue's Clues with the quote, "look in the sky, a flying pig!" and they did an absolutely cracking job of it. My second group were shit, but my first group were really fucking cool.

Anyway, so that was freshers' week, which was amazing.

So now it's time to crack on and do new stuff. This term looks to be pretty fun. I've got to make some stuff in After Effects, do some TV stuff... you know, media shit. It looks like the projects will be better than last year anyway.

So yeah, I'll talk about other stuff soon.
