Looks like people are actualyl freaking reading this thing. Maybe i should make a proper update....

K, i just spent 80 dollars on a digital voice recorder. Why? Sound effects. Ive always wanted something i could bring anywhere i wanted for sound effects, and now i do. And the sound quality? With a deacent Mic attached to the thing, i get literally perfect quality. I always thought sound effects were a very important part of animation and games, something that almost all flash games/animations dont do enough of. There always seems to be missing sound effects and ones that were taken from a database and have been used a million times before. I plan to give mine a little more style and depth with these sounds. Might sound small, but for some reason im excited and think it will really help. So what are you connents on sound effects, every really think about it?

So, turns out one of the guys on my socer team designs web sites, and he made one for the team. Its actually very well done. And i offored to make some content. So, im going to design a few soccer based mini games for the site. First will be a game where you simply click on a ball to keep it in the air, but with some sweet upgrades and hopefuly some nice graphics and, ofcourse, sound effects. Imma go to a field one day and get sounds of the ball hitting the ground, me foot, a whistle sound, things of that sort.

And i might be also getting paid to make a 20-30 second basketball animation for one of my old high school teachers. He's doing some kind of presentation and i offered to help. That will have to be done on christmas, when i have lots of time. I'll probably get paid somewhere bwteen 200-500 dollars for it. Not that im in it for the money, but meh.

So yah, hopefuly thats interesting enough. Oh, i also finnaly beat metroid prime 2. if anyone here has ever played that game, they will realize why its such big news. Thats games such a bitch. > : (
