An Urgent Kerygma News Cast

The first part isn't the best, but it's still got some funny parts. Then at the beginning of part 2 there's a two and a half minute shot of us just walking towards the camera from an extremely long distance, so skip it if you want. You can clearly see my friend David running along the tree line in that scene though.

Otherwise, it's all hilarious. By far, the funniest parts are the portrayals all of the mysteries of the Rosary, the birth of Jesus, the scene where I fart during the Annunciation, (listen for it) the crucifixtion/Resurrection, and the bloopers. I'm the blonde kid with the deep voice. I don't know why I sound so monotone, I really don't sound like that in my head. Weird stuff. Enjoy!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

EDIT: And if I remember right, my pants are unzipped and wide open in every single 'news cast' scene. Just for fun.

EDIT: And in explanation of why a lot of the rosary mysteries are really crappy, we didn't let the actors know ahead of time what was coming. We just had them pantomime it once it was announced. Some of them were obviously planned, but the a lot were not and just came off the top of the actors heads.

EDIT: A couple times there's a mention of someone's name and laughter ensues. This is because lately me and my friends have had a recurring joke where we'll put a person's last name into a sentence as if it's a word... Such as one part in the movie, "The Andrew SCHERER power of God is... Overwhelming" or "I made one rule for you guys, and now it's just BROGAN." This is why in the bloopers we were cracking up so much at the part where God is scolding Adam and Eve, because Justin (Jesus, God) used 'Brogan' without us even realizing it.

Another example of this is our friend who's name is Houston Buckett.. We'll often go "Dude, I'm cumming Houston Bucketts!" or just say "Houston Cum Bucketts". This is why in the credits, his name is listed as "Houston C. Buckett".

EDIT: The part where I was definitley laughing the most and crying and so much my stomach was hurting was at the birth of Jesus where the camera was just shooting my legs and Justin crawls out of my vaginal canal... I tried to keep it together, but I lost it as did everybody else, as you can hear. Then the kicker was when David, you see in the bloopers, gets on his knees and crawls back into my vagina.

EDIT: And the part for the Transfiguration where we replace Jesus with a tree (even though that isn't at all what the Transfiguration was) and Kenny turned the lights on too soon and I scramble for safety as the tree falls after me

EDIT: This movie offended my teacher so much she was on the verge of tears.

But everyone else in the room I had rolling in laughter

Here's the low down.

In my New Testament class, we had to do a huge project covering multiple items on a large list our teacher gave us, and we could do it in any format. Scrapbook, powerpoint, booklet... or a movie. So me and several friends got together and made a movie. I wrote the script, directed (which is extremely hard to do with five rowdy teenage boys), and did camera for maybe a fourth of it. We filmed nearly all of it today, while we were actually working and filming for a couple hours and messing around for the other six.

The role of Jesus is being played by our friend Justin, who doesn't go to our school and is also a semi-renowned Atheist at our school (Amazingly, I've been able to keep my Atheism a secret all year, except for a handful of people I trust) because extremely religious students are always picking fights with him and trying to prove him wrong. The role has already cause a bit of a controversy, but it's all good.

I seriously have NOT laughed so hard in my whole life. It is all so ridiculous, with horrible props and settings and extremely sudden changes in camera angles and positioning of people/objects. The best part is that our group consists of people in four different hours in the same class, so this movie will be shown to FOUR different classes.

The religious nuts will surely have our heads. Also, I'll be sure to post the full, edited film whichs runs about 25 minutes, as well as the dozens of bloopers.

Here is a sneak preview

Don't worry, it's not a vlog or anything. Just an awesome beat I made with Fruityloops Studio set to some equally awesome pictures. A few of them are inside jokes, though, such as 0:28, 0:44, 1:05, and 1:10

I really am proud of this video, it being my first ever (Besides a crappy for fun remix I did. Don't look at that) video and my first ever song on FL. I do make a cameo appearance at 0:33 though, I'm the blonde guy who's totally caught off guard by my friend taking the picture. Enjoy and comment please =]

I saw this a while ago when Watchmen came out, but I just now felt I should acknowledge it for how awesome of a trailer it is.

Before this trailer, I was iffy about the new Terminator movie. I was with Peter Griffin when he announced "I just don't get why we need another Terminator...", but my opinion has been totally changed.

I was in Watchmen with my dad, my brother, and one of my friends, and right when the trailer started I shouted "NINE INCH NAILS SONG!" because I could tell by the intro instrument, whatever it is. Now the reason I liked this trailer so much isn't simply because it's NIN, but it's because the song makes the intensity of the clips being shown really draw you in. The scene where the music quiets down, and Christian Bale unchains the android who thinks he's human was the single part that really sent shivers up my spine...

Here it is

Just a quick note, wanted to see which of you guys have an AIM account or YIM, which I barely use. Lately I've been getting more into AIM, even though I've had it forever... Just more of my friends have been getting it I guess.

Anyways, my name is below if you want to add me. I'll talk to anyone, about anything. If you ever have a problem in life, feel free to contact me and I'll help as best I can :)

(Surprise, a blog that's actually about video games! A lot of it will consist of pictures though, since I am so fond of this subject)

EDIT: WOW, Gamespot messed up a lot of my pictures and whatnot. Oh well :/

But lately I've been thinking about how awesome boss fights are. And getting mad at how scarce they are these days.

In all my years of video games, bosses are always a huge aspect of them that stick out in my mind. Games like Quake II, Call of Duty, Halo, Grand Theft Auto, and various fighting/racing games are all fun, but... They lacked the real challenge and fun that bosses bring.

Specifically, several games from my past I still remember to this day for their bosses. Banjo Kazooie and Tooie had some sexy ones, such as Lord Woo Fak Fak...

Some other obvious old school bosses of mine were from Castlevania 64. Yes, I actually LOVED that game, because it was the first Castlevania I'd ever played. Back then, it scared the Jesus out of me. Now that I think about it, I must've spent hours playing that game, and watching my brother play it.

And moving to modern days, I'm quite proud of the Resident Evil series for their many boss fights... Although I have not had the honor of playing any of these :/

The most interesting one, though, seems to be Del Lago... I LOVE fights that take place in water.

But back to the point. Several great games have included multiple boss fights. The ones who just throw in two or three are sissies. I like at least 5-10 boss fights in my games. If not, you better make up for it big time. I'm not sure what it is about this subject that gets me so hot (If you can catch my Tokyo Drift), but I think it's simply the 'epic' feeling you get from the experience. Even if it's not one that's bigger then you, as seen in the above three... It's the thought that this is finally an enemy that is stronger then you, and can actually kill you! Enough with the one-shot kill bulls***, boss fights are where the real fun is.

Of course, several games really work without boss fights. Games like Half-Life 2, Fallout 3, and Goldeneye. Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games of all time (discount things like the Super Behemoth, even though those were amazing), and it got off with no bosses. If more games could do that, that would be fantastic. But please, developers... Don't forget about the bosses. Several times, I have been disappointed in a game for not going out in a bang... Instead, they either send you a wave of enemies or just make you go through a bunch of complicated objectives until you get to the end. Make it something to talk about :)

... And my final point will lead to my favorite game of all time, which should be obvious by now...

Shadow of the Colossus.

Definitley, the game that is all bosses. Back then, I had not yet fully realized my love for the boss. I just know that during the summer of '07, I was obsessed with this game. Seriously, if you haven't... Go buy it. I bought it with good expectations, but not really knowing what it was all about. Quickly, it became nearly a "mystery"... A huge desire growing inside of me, yearning to know what the next boss would be like. Sixteen of them, all equally amazing. My favorites were the 13th and 5th... Both flying colossi.

Upon this, I have just noticed that my favorite bosses tend to be ones that fly or swim. Strange... :P

Consequently, the discarded colossi such as this are driving me insane:

So, finally, I have realized this is more of a rant on random s**t then an organized blog. Oh well.

If you guys have some favorite boss fights of your own, or even entire games with excellent bosses, let me know :)

Peace.

So with heavy excitement, yesterday I saw that nin.com has some tour dates up! And of course, since this is either their last tour (doubt it) or their last for a few years, I HAVE to go to it. I immediatley texted several friends, and I've got a crew of guys who want to go as well. Back in August there was a concert nearby that I was going to go to with a senior friend, but my parents unfortunatley said I was "just barely too young to go." So hopefully now, I will be "old enough" to attend :)

May 27th is the date, I believe.

Also, like I know I have stated several times before, I have been VERY distant from Gamespot. I am sorry. And I've probably lost a bunch of my Gamespot friends. I have, though, told several of my friends of the epic and hilarious moments I have had with OT, and have even attracted some over to it. Who knows... Maybe they'll join.

But I do know, though, that I will be much more active as summer starts to roll on by... Which is coming by faster then ever!

Peace ;)

And I don't like it one bit.

The second I read Reznor's latest blog, hinting at a terrible doom, I was up in flames screaming to all my NIN friends about the possible end.

It can't happen.

:cry:

(Sorry, I couldn't help but put in my witty two cents in the blog title)

I've never seen Afro Samurai before. Suprising as it may be, I did NOT get my PSN/Youtube/countless other sites names (Afrojitsu is also another variant if I can't use a space in my name) from the anime Afro Samurai.

So today I was at Best Buy and saw the first season on Blu-Ray for $20, so I bought it.

And I'm lovin' it.

I also got the Electroma movie by Daft Punk, have yet to watch it, and the third season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, which should be fantastic.

I'll post a blog soon on what my normal life's been up to lately.

...Has been very kind to me.

I got Far Cry 2, Call of Duty 4, and Rainbow Six Vegas 2, all for the PS3.

I also got It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia seasons 1&2 DVD, Fight Club Deluxe Edition, The Dark Knight on Blu Ray, Annie Hall, 'Hopes and Fears' CD by Keane, 'Lunar Park' book by Bret East Ellis, a really cool hardcover journal I'll be writing stories in, and $360. I plan on buying the official Sony Bluetooth headset and a Dualshock 3 controller for the PS3 (I only have one, and it will help heavily whenever I have friends over), but after that I don't really see anything else I want to buy.

I've really been enjoying all the games I got, but especially Far Cry and CoD. The single player for Far Cry is great, and the multiplayer for CoD is even better. Vegas might be my least favorite, but I really like the strategy and cover aspect of it.

The actual Christmas day was also fantastic. I hung out with the family, ate plenty, played board games, played Littlebigplanet with my brother and dad, and got my mom to watch a few It's Always Sunny episodes =P

I've also been hanging out a LOT with friends over the break. Thanksgiving break was really 'meh', was bored most of the time, but now I find myself busy almost every day... Like last night, I had a couple friends spend the night. We watched Kill Bill, Cloverfield, and Fight Club... Stayed up until about 5. We also got a lot of laughs from my drunk-out-the-ass dad, who had us crying with laughter most of the time. He doesn't try to be funny when he's drunk; He's just drunk. My favorite quote: "My mom used to always do my laundry. I'd just throw my s**t on the floor, and she'd just clean them. F***in' magic! But did I ever say 'Thank you'? No. I said 'B*TCH! This shirt is wrinkled!"

Oh, and I have a girlfriend.
