After yesterday noting 'live-actor' fan efforts, today I look at an animated effort that is several years old now. The animator is using stone-age versions of now very popular graphics and animation packages like Blender and Poser.

Things I learned from fan-movies:

The actors are either 1) middleaged and overweight or 2) scrawny teenage nerds. I know that modern media conditioning skewers expectation. You know that in any well-funded production, the actors are generally pretty and handsome. People who take care of their bodies because those bodies are an undeniable part of their career.

September 2008 I started a journey to a new career.  I went back to school and took an accounting program at a community college.

When I completed the program in April 2011, I figured that I was pretty good at it and enjoyed so I enrolled in a commerce program starting in September 2011.  I graduated from that program in 2013.  In May 2013 I started working at an accounting firm, with the intent of pursuing a professional accounting designation.

This period there are two PS4 games: Injustice Gods amongst Us and Secret Ponchos. Injustice is the beat 'em up with american superheroes. I downloaded it but yet have to play it. Supposedly, it has a very good battle-system. I don't know anything about Secret Ponchos, but I understand it's along the vein of Attack Nuns. I decided to ignore that title.

Not so long ago, 2o2p joined my twitter followlist. I was quite surprised at that, because my twitter-account has cobwebs allover it, squeeks from disuse and is on the verge of collapsing due to neglect. I think that it is well over a year ago that I was here; having left because I felt that as a community, 2o2p had ran it's course at the time. People were beating on eachother, while other people who were holding a spot of importance in my perception where abusing their positions by throwing oil on the fire and then washing their hands off of it out of fear of losing their position.

I have a code for LIMBO on the XB1...first come, first served.

It looks like the community blogs are dead.   The last one posted was two weeks ago.

Finished my playthrough of Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 for the platinum.  I had gotten 100% on the 360, but bought the trilogy for $15 a while back on PSN and finished ME1 earlier in the year.

I count Pink Floyd as my favorite band.  When it was announced that they would be releasing their first studio album in 20 years, which was based off of material recorded for "The Division Bell" album, I was skeptical.  To be honest, I figured it would be the trash from a very 'meh' album's outtakes.

After doing some calculations and looking at my expenses through the rest of the year....it doesn't look like I'll be making the jump to current gen consoles anytime soon. At least not this year. A little bummed about that. But ah well. Such is life.

It may be for the best anyways. I honestly don't know what system I'd go for first. I'd like to get both for different reasons. The PS4 for The Order 1886, Last of Us and a few other exclusive re-releases that I never got on PS3. And the Xbox One for Halo Master Chief Collection, and the next Gears of War title.
