Good News, Everyone!

Funny thing is, and man I wish Sabre was around to hear this, America has both chips and crisps. Chips being when the potato is sliced and deep fried, and crisps are where they mash them or some such, mix it with food filler (to stretch how much you can get out of a single potato), and press it into the shape of a chip.

 

So in your face, Europe!

 

... Ew.

Well chips are of course your normal trip deal, and the crisps are like Pringles, haha. Not gross, just not as good as actually deep friend potato chips.

Why is it that I see a lead-paint/crappy manufacturing/quality control horror story in the future? xD

 

Joking, of course.  Good to hear; do throw up some photos for us! :-P

 

Just you wait, I'll get some kind of bed-time story out of this and when I tell it, you best be sitting comfortably!

 

You're twenty going to fifty. Act your age :|

Good News...

 

   I went to the doctor yesterday for my (what they call) 'Mysterious' symptoms. Turns out I'm also a borderline tachycardic, which is weird cos I don't feel that way at all. It must have been that grilled cheese samich I ate before I went to the doctor's office.  :troll:

I'm about to embark on an extended vacation that will finally enable me to work on a huge amount of original writing projects that I've been meaning to develop, sell and produce since forever.

 

How many is a "huge amount"?

 

I have over thirty seven original stories and four adaptations in the form of feature films, television shows, video games, comic series, short films, novels, and prose compilations that I need to work on.

 

This is both good news and goddamn terrifying news.

I'm getting my deposit back from the flat I lived in last year, the landlady was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Plus I touched up the wall paper with white paint, it was pretty good. :)

After years of using and abusing computer accesories, I'm finally using my Birthday gifts :D

I got a new mouse and a new keyboard! Here are the models

 

$%28KGrHqR,%21gwE29UFF2qEBN7dPOUsU%21~~_

Souris Arc: It's a very comfortable mouse, and it's energy efficient since you can turn it off.

Comfort Curve: Getting used to this one, but this one do indicate if Caps Lock's on, instead of just the wireless reciever like the other one, that's an instant plus .

After lots of stress and fear of getting an important class this trimester eliminated from my schedule, I was finally revealed they are going to keep it open. Breath of relief, I can finally sleep in peace.

I just noticed that accidentally clicking the FN key was turning off Beats Audio occasionally when I tapped "B" at the same time.

 

Also, I just noticed that I had an FN key. I don't know how I missed it, but I've NEVER seen it before now.

Miyamoto acknowledged Star Fox in a recent interview. :P

 

"It’s tough," Miyamoto said. "We come to the show and we bring a lot of great franchises and everyone says, 'Oh, well, where’s this game that I want to play? Where’s something new?' I only have so much capacity. [laughs] Obviously in the past we’ve tried to work with other companies, where we’ve let them develop games for us in franchises like Star Fox and F-Zero, but the more we think about it, the more we prefer to be able to create those games internally, on our own. We’ve obviously, as I mentioned, been working on what we can do to increase our internal staff in a way that will allow us to have more projects going at the same time, so we can create new games and work on additional old IP and still maintain the other primary franchises that people want to see."

This isn't 100% good news, because it cost me a lot of money, but:

NEW MIC GET!

I have taken a step up the mic ladder. The MXL990 I used to use is an entry-level mic.

I picked up a Shure SM7 yesterday. This mic is used in radio booths everywhere and was even used by Micheal Jackson to record Thriller. Not bad for a midrange mic, eh?

This mic is also very quiet, enough that there is no way in hell my mixer would drive it, so I also had to plonk a couple hundred bucks on a preamp. It is also desinged for overhead boom stands, so I had to buy a stand too. And for good measure, I bought a couple of new XLR cables. These aren't very long, just long enough for what I need. No need for noise-adding coils of XLR cable!

Advantage of a quiet mic is that it is less prone to picking up background sounds. Disadvantage is that you have to eat the mic to get anything decent out of it, even with the preamp boosting the shit out of it. Thankfully, included in the box was a very very puffy windscreen that does such a good job that I probably don't need to use a pop filter.

Nice catch, DZ.  Though I am familiar with very little in terms of audio production and quality, I can say that imrpoving equipment is generally a good thing. :P

Oh yeah, it's been a full year of my so-called presence around here. I find it hard to believe a year has gone by, not just in cyberspace since I've done so much the past while.
