My last possible chance to make a Newspost in 2009, so here we go.

I heard there's quite a bit of quarreling over what the '00 are going to be called. Personally I like the noughties, but not everyone agrees. As for '10, I heard twenty-ten is pretty popular. I like the sound of "the deecies" though. I made that one up myself. Got to love how naughty and decence contradict eachother :P

Boy the year went by fast. Too fast even. Loads of things happened. I think I'm gonna miss 2009. Nonetheless, I'm gonna make sure I have a great time tonight, celebrate the future and stuff. Any resolutions? Sure. I want to improve on my animations and music. Then post those works here on ng for all to see. I'm also planning to get my driverslicense.

Oh and happy days dude, Steam has been dishing out great offers lately. I've bought Audiosurf for 2.50EU, Bioshock after that for just 5.00EU, and my latest purchase was Max Pain 1 and 2 for 3,74EU. I'm a pretty happy guy right now =D

Earlier this year I started working on a song in honor of my mother. I decided to finish the song on her birthday, which is first Christmas day: 25th of December. I tried real hard, mixing it to the best of my ability and I ended up completing it in time. Even though she's dead now, she deserved this present for christmas.

I'm not having any expectations for the next decade, but I do have my hopes up. I hope the financial crisis recovers, and the war in the middle east comes to an end. I wish for the third world countries to be more prosper, and never to see Lady Gaga on tv again. Happy new year to all of you!

Lady Gaga, It was acceptable in the noughties.

Oh my.
That Halloween project of mine didn't quite make it. I dropped it because I didn't feel like working hard on finishing it in time. I was also limited to Audioportal music, it was pretty hard to find replacement songs. There's a pretty good start though, I think I'll send it in next Halloween.

I've been reading some Horror Manga to try and get inspired at the time and ended up finding some sick shit. Lmao, this artist's called Shintaro Kago and his stuff contains some pitchdark humor. I couldn't really appreciate his work at first, because it's so fucking wrong. But as soon as I read some more, I became addicted to the sick feeling in my guts. His style, apart from being fucking disgusting, is original, surrealistic and philosophical in a way. It's funny to see this artist's mindset unfold as you read his many different stories.

Lately I've been spending a bit of time working on an animation Wallpaperman and me decided working on. Get ready for some psychadelic shit, we're creating potjam2.

Also, I ordered Left4Dead2. Should be great fun.

Next to some other flashes I'm working on, one of which is po3, I decided that I wanted to create another Halloween flash this year. Anyone who enjoyed my disturbing horror flash from last year would be happy to hear that I'm thinking of creating part one, which was actually going to created by Lochie (aka Night-Mare) last year.

Here's something unrelated and inspiring:

Here you go; I spent this night on both the song and video when I suddenly got the idea. The song's not done though but won't show up in the audioportal anyway.

Here's a screenshot from PO3. I'm working on a lot of scenes at the same time so there's nothing I can show you that I consider "done" yet, appart from this room which comes close. Besides the graphics; which is already most work, I had to write the puzzle storyline aswel since my life is less busy than Writersblock's. Much of my time was wasted to plotting. Originally we were going to have 3 gamingstyles but we chose to go with one eventually; point and click adventure. We suffered a great timeloss when my mother passed away and I couldn't be bothered to work. Then again I must admit that I've been a little lazy in general but still this project is coming along nice and we'll still try to get it done by 5th of September.

Came back from my holiday 2 days ago.
Yes this blog is pointless.

I'm on a short holiday to Sweden. I left a few photoshops for you to enjoy. Have fun now dears.

+ This song inspired me lately.

Can't wait for CTSG animation edition to be organized :3
Also, check out this short silly game Lochie made. The music's mine, lol.

Beneath of here's a screenshot from an animation I was working on today. Animation's from a collab I joined last year. The collab progressed slowly so I slacked on this animation. Should be pretty awesome once it's done. Three scenes to go. I'm probably gonna revise some scenes after that though.

EDIT.
The motherfucker's done and sent =D

Since pressing a button real quickly seems to be my hidden talent, I thought I'd give it a shot at "Big O," a minigame in the game OCD+. I have no idea how much time passed, my fingers hurt and then finally I got down to zero. I pressed the shiny button to go back to the main menu where I claimed my medal.
Never showed up in my profile, as often...
What a pain in the ass. Oh well, atleast I still have this screenshot to proof it. I dare someone to top that btw.

These past weeks have been strange for me. While I was very happy to work on po3. my mind was dealing with different things.

My mother - who's had breast cancer about 9 years ago and was cured from it - happened to have a seeding in her lymphs and liver in 2004. Her lymphs were cured just fine but the liver couldn't be treated directly. For several years she had tried all kinds of chemos and even alternative ways that were said to help fight against cancer. In the process she had a pulmonary embolism which almost got her killed. Honestly though, she fought so fiercely against each ailment she encountered. She was so strong, It was almost as if nothing could actually harm her.

She's the kind of woman no one would be able to hate. Strong and optimistic, always, Words don't do justice. Even when she was hospitalized in May again. This time because her spleen didn't work properly, caused by the sudden growth of her cancer. It's beautiful to see how admired she is by other people, as she motivates them with her optimism and lust to fight. Even though at that time she got to hear a very negative message. As my mother had tried about every single thing, the cancer had become immune for most treatments and there was only one option left. A new and very expensive product. My mother was released from the hospital and started using these medicin.

At first it seemed to work quite ok, but at the end of May the effects were so extreme that she had to be hospitalized again. She was in pain and things were looking worse for my mother. During this time I was extremely moved by the sweet things she did for everyone else while she was laying in bed, all weak and helpless. I've told her at times that I think she worries too much for everyone, and she should worry more about herself. So yeah, as time unraveled, my mother decided she wanted to be treated at home and eventually that's what happened. Being alone was horrible for her.

It's nice to see how my mother never lost her optimism and humor during this time. Even more, she never stopped caring about all of us, even though she was the one who needed care. She was the best mom in the world. I'm proud of her, and honoured to be her son.

Rest in peace mom. I love you.

I love you all! ;D
