Ideas Ideas Ideas

I have an idea, the idea won't cost a penny, sort of, less than £10.
Its a video idea, a machinima series, a machinima series made in City of Heroes.

I've been sat on this idea for about 6 months, mostly knowing that I don't have the skills with the /demorecord feature in City of Heroes to make something as complex as a series, that, and I only have access to one account and I would need 3, unless I recorded all parts separate in one account and put it all together by manually editing the demo file.

There is a small script for a Pilot Episode, sort of an introduction to the characters. When I say short, I mean about 3 pages, with room to expand slightly, Its written as a learning tool, doing the demo record and demo editing and doing the voice over recording and syncing.

I don't know, at some point this week, I could record something tiny, just to prove to myself that if I put my mind to it, I can do what's needed to make this. But I need to level another character to at least 20, because Twisted Fire is the Marathon Character again this year hehe

DancingBeaver and the Nintendo 3DS Part 5: Midnight Launch Update

As I was on the phone to Ed, arranging the midnight launch of the 3DS, Gamestation phone me and leave a voicemail....

They are not opening for the Midnight Launch of the 3DS anymore :( But they are opening at 8am on friday for me to pick it up.

Im really not happy, I was so looking forward to it, walking into the shop at 12:01am on Friday and walking out with the 3DS.


Bah! Looks like I'm staying up all night on Thursday/Friday

DancingBeaver and the Nintendo 3DS Part 4: Midnight Launch & Fund Update

So, I got a phone call today, twas Gamestation, informing me they are doing the Midnight Launch of the 3DS, this coming on the day I hit the £300 mark - Its all coming together nicely =D

Well, Gamestation is opening at 11.30pm on Thursday 24th, going to find out if Ed will come down with me and possibly record it for Pure Boredom.
That's the only thing that's left to sort really, unless you count the backup £20, which I'm borrowing off my mum, because I very much doubt I need it, for you see:
£235+£35+£35-£16=£289
I have more than enough

Ah Yeah!

Fuck This!

Warning, This post contains an Epic Rant!

DancingBeaver and the Nintendo 3DS Part 3: Fund Update

Just posting to say the Nintendo 3DS fund has hit £100! Woooo!

I'm guestimating it will hit £150 on the 16th than its just a case of pulling £170 from the savings account to hit the total of £320! (£20 extra to be on the safe side, because Gamestation still have no game pricing in store...).

Also still have no definitive answer to if the Hartlepool store is doing a Midnight launch, I'll ask next time I'm in town, but still planning on going if they are and recording it.

That's all, sorry to waste you time lol

DancingBeaver and the Nintendo 3DS Part 2: Pre Order

So, I have pre-ordered the Nintendo 3DS. Decided to get it from Gamestation after considering all factors.

So, what did I order?
Black Nintendo 3DS
Street Fighter 3D
Pilot Wings Resort

Grand Total... Just under £300... I must be stupid!

But!! Its going to be worth it! Gamestation had one to demo for people thinking about pre-ordering it, So I had a go... It really works, I could see the 3D perfectly, much better than the Sky 3D demo that is in town, I couldn't see any 3D on that, but the 3DS I could without trying.

One down side though, the Gamestation website has Hartlepool as opening at Midnight for release, I asked in store and they haven't heard anything from Head Office about it, they would also have to pay the shopping centre for security cover for the opening, but they said they would contact me if they are opening, either way, I will have a Nintendo 3DS in my hand on Friday 25th March 2011!
