Designing my winter break away

It is a winter wonderland here in small town Thomas, WV. The days are long, full of holiday cheer, laughter, and merriment. Oh, and a shit ton of design work. As you may or may not know, I’m a fairly accomplished professional designer. I’ve been designing fairly steadily for about five years now, and have created dozens of websites.

My first big project is Games Cast TV. The...

I learned how to operate Final Cut Pro, Sountrack Pro, iMovie HD, and GarageBand all on beginner to intermediate levels. My experience with Sony Vegas 8 and Audacity really helped in the use of these new software programs, since I already had the fundamentals down. The first film is for my Introduction class, and it was all about using as many features, functions, and effects within Final Cut Pro as possible. It’s not really a high quality work, but for a...

I’ve been going through a few different games lately, most of them are older games! However, all of them are pretty damn fun. KOTOR 2 I’m super excited to get my hands on this one, because I’ve been wanting to try out the Restoration Mod for ages. Now I get to! I’m installing it right now, actually. Woo! Mercenaries 2 The first Mercenaries was one of my favorite console games of all time. The destructible environments, the ability to hijack anything, the warzone environment, a huge arsenal of airstrikes, artillery, and bombing runs. the ability to...
