News: Been thinking of making Vlogs.

Posted in News on August 9, 2009 by HolyJunkie/Jakob

Not sure how or when, but seeing others do the same things, which I rather enjoy watching, I’m thinking I could try it myself.

However, I’ll need a certain few things:

First off, something to talk about.

Secondly, better charisma.

Thirdly, I usually think in-between sentences, such as how I’m doing right now.

It does take a huge amount of effort to make a good vlog, I’d find. The best I can think of is a bloody script, or some kind of teleprompter. Unless I’ve got something I’m willing to talk about, I can’t improvise speeches like Hitler could.

Seriously, you gotta admit the guy’s pretty damn good at continuously babbling. I personally want to not waste words, while not seeming boring at once.

In such cases, I’d need to improve. Which means I’ll probably be practicing in front of a camera and post the results.

Your job is to tell me that I suck, or moderately suck, or slightly suck, or not suck at all. Of course, you’ll never ever consider option 4 as an actual option.

If I manage to pull up the lack of laziness to do such a thing, expect full-blown video logs rather than random antics of me doing crazy crap as a character I made up in two seconds, such as Gas Mask Junkie, and Modern Rorschach, or myself with multiple-personality.

Which reminds me, you ever notice how in every Jackie Chan movie, Jackie Chan’s character is inevitably pulled into some kind of situation where he discusses some made-up Chinese legend that’s somehow relevant to the plot?

I believe he does it in every Rush Hour. I believe he does it in the Cartoon he was in, he did it in Around the World in 80 Days. He did it in other movies as well.

There was this one movie where Jackie Chan took on the toughest mother-fucker in the world, and got hit, beaten, broken, and thrown down more times than you’ve had hot meals… I’m not kidding…

And yet, he STILL manages to pull through. That character he portrayed was fucking invincible! seriously! I should make a vlog about that, actually.

Anyway, expect them if I ever get around to it.

Happy Canada Day!

Posted in News on July 1, 2009 by HolyJunkie/Jakob

This will be my post for the day.

Canada Day is the day on July 1, where Canadians celebrate who-knows-what.

We drink beer, and lots of it, and then we go hump lamp posts and eat cheese and Canadian Bacons and-

Wait, I’m thinking of the Playoffs when a Canadian Team is kicking ass…

Okay. Canada Day. We celebrate the creation of Canada, by drinking beer- and lots of it- and then go hump lamp posts and eat cheese and Canadian Bacon… And also to chew on Terry Fox’s leg in respect.

We all want a piece of that leg. Shaddap.

Happy New Year!

2009. Halo Wars, Mythic Map Pack, Halo 3 ODST, many more on Channel 4.

New Year Resolutions: … I don’t know. Not yet anyway.

It’s a little less than an hour before New Years (for my Time Zone anyway…) so I’ll try to think of something.

Got an email from Jakob as well. He says he’s somewhere in Eastern Russia. Why? he didn’t say. Ah well.

Merry Christmas!

We wish you a merry Christmas, here at Jakya Studios.

(Jakob: Yeh. Merry Christmas. Don’t be fucking up this great day for anyone, will ya?)

… Very subtle, Jakob.

(Jakob: What? It’s true! You really shouldn’t be ruining people’s lives on this day… or any day… Actually, don’t screw with people on any day. But this day most of all.)

Never thought you’d have morales.

(Jakob: I need food. That’s why I’m up here in the first place.)

Ah. Merry Christmas, Jakob.

(Jakob: And to you, HJ.)

THE LOOT:

New artistry gear, including a really cool humanoid mannequin, new pens, mechanical pencil lead, but above all:

Photoshop CS4.

Only a few minutes with it, and I can easily do things I could never hope to dream of trying prior to getting it. It’s just that awesome. Even made a bunch of Halo 3 panoramas, which I’ll probably throw into a gallery in the DEAD Comic blog.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and anything remotely related to December Holidays.

Halo 3: Recon

Posted in News on October 10, 2008 by HolyJunkie/Jakob

Hey, HolyJunkie here. This is a news post regarding something going on at Bungie. They have released a trailer for their next game. The link to the trailer is below.

Obviously one of the coolest trailers I have ever seen. It was released this morning. Here’s the Projects page with just about anything regarding the game itself:

http://www.bungie.net/Projects/whvidldshbyjsdo/default.aspx

No, I don’t quite know the code to hyperlink stuff Sorry.

(Jakob: You know, I would’ve said “Shut the hell up!”)

Whatever, Jakob. I actually am looking forward to this. Jakob obviously isn’t, just like every other game I actually show to him.

(Jakob: I’m no gamer.)

Can I make my opinion? … Thank you.

Anyway, I’m really anticipating this game. For once, you’re not a supersoldier capable of blowing up the universe twice over. This time, you’re an ordinary ODST soldier that apparently survives a 99.99% death chance landing while in a drop pod. He’s got an SMG fitted with a custom sight and a suppressor (M7S, note the S) and he’s apparently going to be led through the city in the trailer by the infamous “SuperIntendant”

Personally, this is starting to sound like a mix between Halo and Marathon. I will so love that, seriously. Lone soldier against hundreds, led by an AI that’s questionably functioning correctly.

KEEP IT CLEAN!

Initiating Blog Mode.

Eh oh el.

I guess there’s no resisting the whole Blog universe. J got his own for Journal-keeping pusposes, and I got this one for the same.

Expect me to write my daily/probably-not-so-daily stuff in here. I’ll even throw in a Halo 3 comic (with legal text that tells the reader that I do not own Halo 3, nor will I ever claim to own Halo 3. Halo 3 belongs to Bungie and Microsoft and stuff. I’ll come up with abridged version once I figure out how to get that copyright symbol…)

Anyway, morning. Will post later.
