I wanna play this game.
Badly.
Reckon I'll download the beta.

Also I read Kingbastard's track IDK is going to be in the soundtrack of this game. Fucking sweet.

Expect Pot Jam 2 in the portal on 4-20.

So yeah about my music... I used to work with two monitors, they were second hand alesis M1Active MKII, the first set of professional monitors I ever had in my posession. One of them broke down about 2 years ago, and that's when I decided to use my stereospeakers as an alternative. It was supposed to be for just one song, before getting new ones. But eventually I ended up making 2 years worth of songs that way.
I had my reasons for not getting myself any new speakers. You see, it was quite interesting working with a regular stereo set. It's like working from a different angle. I felt that if I mixed my songs well enough, they would sound good even though they were mixed on unprofesional speakers. Besides, the MKII monitors could handle way more bass than my earphones, but if I were to partially mix it with my earphones, I was assured that way more people could enjoy the final mix. Obviously not everything I mixed came out right, but I have definitely improved on my mixes.

Well so, I must say mixing on several bad quality speakers has created some sort of awareness towards the quality of the final mix for me. And this is nice and all, but it's nowhere close to a professional mix just yet. So what's missing? Professional studio monitors obviously.

Today I've got my hands on some KRK Rokit RP5's, and they've completely wowed me. Everything I listen with them sounds so wide, so spaceous, it's amazing! Whenever I hear people sing in a song, it's as if they're standing right in front of me. The same goes for the music itself, it sounds more real, natural if you will. This is exactly what a perfect mix is supposed to sound like!
As for my own songs? Mehhh, some of them come somewhat close, but it still doesn't sound wide enough for my liking. Oh well, now that I've got these awesome new speakers, I can wide up my songs as if it were your mother's vagina! =D

Oh, and this remix's awesome.

I'd buy that shirt and wear it proudly.

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.

I have only just gotten started gathering ideas. That's what this newspost is for.

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.
