I am EXTREMELY Compulsive...

...and that tends to lead to an excessive amount of stories that don't have enough depth to expand upon...but then again, it wasn't my compulsion that started the idea, just made it happen...

So yesterday, I was sitting around my room in front of my laptop while my younger brother was playing Halo. He turned to me and said "Hey Mike, you know what would be awesome ?" So he tells me about this obscure, nonsensical idea. It's not even a minutes worth of anything, and it is so obscenely stupid.

I look him straight in the eye, and say "Let's do it"

And thus, on that very day, My new series, currently Entitled (Might change very soon as the first episode is ready to go) Jason's World. It will be a shorts series, filled with episodes of the dumbest things you could think of seeing in a halo 3 environment.

So, this new series will launch Monday, September 22nd, with it's first (and currently only) episode. Please subscribe to my [URL="http://youtube.com/scrubotheclown"][COLOR="Blue"]Channel[/COLOR][/URL] if you like what you see, or actually are waiting for this series to start on Monday.

Till Then!!!

To The Few Readers I Possibly Have...

I have begun finalizing the script...for a good six episodes...I still have about, say, six or more to write, but things are looking good!

The best part about the writing first is that I know EXACTLY what I want to see in the film. I have started filming little clips myself, but they are small little things right now, no more than two characters at a time, which is so rare in my scripts that I should be killed for it (seriously, my ambitions for this thing are CRAZY...I've got way to many scenes with 16 people in them...) but whatever, I shall suffer for it when I film later...

Also, I will be re-doing that shit teaser that I put up just recently...I just got a better program than Windows Movie Maker, and I will also have the Scrubo Productions intro done and finished, the one that will appear in all of my works...

Furthermore, I am doing a lot of flash animations for the episodes, and some for the re-worked teaser...also, one for a trailer I am putting out sooner or later (maybe Octoberish...I'm not sure yet...) and then some other ones for the episodes...

So, I'll leave you all with this for now...it is going to be an AWESOME Spring...

FINALLY!!!

I got a new 360.....

I learned more about Windows Movie Maker....

I figured out some cool things in Audacity......

I enjoyed using my Turtle Beach X1's for halo...in more than one way...

And what do I have to show for it?

THIS!!!

EPIC PHAIL!!!!

So....my laptop works, and it captures....now I am just searching for some nice software, and learning how to use what I have....

In slightly-more-related news, I think I am ready to start some filming....-goes to turn on 360.......little red light starts to flash- Oh shit! That's right, I forgot that my FUCKING XBOX IS NOT WORKING!!!!

I don't have the three red rings, I just have one, puny insignificant ring, coupled w/ error 74 which equals pain in the ass just LIKE the red rings....Basically, the error is caused when a chip that reads the A/V cable comes loose, or when the A/V cable fucks up....I would LOVE to assume it is the latter, but most LIKELY, it is the former...so in other words, I can't even get out a fucking TEASER any time soon....although, there is always another way, but mooching off my friends can wait for a little while.....

So for now, I have NOTHING to offer.....god, this pisses me off >:(

Some good news to leave you off with....I am going on vacation today and won't be back until the 18th....

Some bad news to negate the good news before you go......This vacation means all xbox fixing plans are 7 days later than they could be........

FUCK!

And now We're actually in business

So, my laptop got fixed again....my motherboard needed replaced :(

and I found out there is a way to upgrade pinnacle studio 10.5 (what came with my capture card) to work with vista...so I un-installed, re-installed and repaired 10.5, then downloaded the patch for 10.8, which is vista compatable...right now I'm working on getting a strange occurence off of my 360 onto pinnacle studio, so all looks good

If all goes according to plan, first teaser should be up by next week (i'm ambitious aren't I?)

Well, looks like it all begins....

...And We're In Business...Almost

Well, I have the catpture card and all the connection things I will need...but now a new problem arises...I was trying to capture a few things off the xbox and apparently my Laptop (w/ Vista) isn't capturing because of compatapility issues with Pinnacle...

Ok, so on to the desktop...everything is installed and...My proccessor sucks so fucking much that it can't run the program...So my attempt at capturing as of now is Epically Failing...

But, I'm already looking at gettin a new rig, so things aren't so bad!!!

In other news, I am still looking for some actors. I have gotten a few replies, but I don't have a full cast as of yet....and I really haven't heard back from some of them yet, but it's ok. If you are interested, send me a message at Scrubotheclown@gmail.com with a subject about acting in Machinima...

Well, that's all from me for now...next time you hear from me, it might be about the first part of the Machinima, but that's me being hopeful :D
