Watched my friend play through MGS4 the other day. Man... I want to say it is the best movie I have ever seen on a console, but that's just being dumb. So epic, so tragic... man... That Kojima sure does know how to work it.

Anyhoo, was watching about two hours of a Blade Runner documentary from disc 2 ( I think ) of my 5-Disc collector's box. I got this thing back in Christmas from a buddy, but only started watching the extras right now.
Alot of the stuff in that movie is so inspiring, and it really gets me depressed about how much of today's movies are all computer graphics. I mean, I like stuff like Beowulf and Speed Racer, but seeing these kinds of things in development is so amazing. It also gets me bugged how magnificently Ridley Scott and his team can remaster Blade Runner by slightly tweaking it and fixing some things, while George Lucas's method of remastering means slapping CGI on everything. Gah, its just absurd. I used to love the original Star Wars soooo much when I was a kid, but now its all filled with a bunch of crap it could do with out. I have to stick to watching my VHS tapes. And don't even get me started on that spin off series prequel stuff.

Well that's just what I think. :(

I have found me a programmer and am working on a Bullet Hell type shmup. I will mostly be doing all the artwork, and perhaps the music unless we find a music person. His engine is pretty much done I think, and I've tested a couple of rounds of the game so its pretty good work.

Also been working more on my stories and characters for a ( doesn't know the word ) game. Its kinda religious, but more on the fantasy side... you know, demons, angels, heaven and hell... that kinda stuff. I want to work on the games as a 3 part thing. First, it'll be a shmup and hack n slash/platformer set some time in the near future, then a prequel adventure set thousands of years ago, and finally a sequel to the shmup/hacknslash but more like the adventure part with lil bits of the shmup and hack n slash throw in. If that makes any sense...

I'm in a huge Blade Runner mood by the way, so I was recently looking for the PC game by Westwood on ebay...

That is it for me, I guess.
How you doin'?
