Comm Tech Post pt2.

2010-01-20T13:23:00.000-08:00

Well, that's nice, it didn't even want to upload my video for me... Turns out theres a 100mb rule here, and my video is 121 mb, so now i have just encountered enough errors for me to stay sane. Unfortunately, the video will not upload, so I have attempted to upload one of my more favourite scenes from the video, the Music Scene. I don't want to upload my video to youtube yet, as it is unfinished.

And yes, I have tried shrinking my video down to the worst quality, and lower than 100mb, and it still will not upload, so that's another factor to why I chose this scene.

So without further adieu...

The Comm Tech Post

2010-01-20T12:55:00.000-08:00

Well, like I said earlier, I had to do a "podcast" assignment type thing.

So, I've decided to upload the rough cut of the video I have been working on so far. Keeping in mind, its still ROUGH, there's a codec issue at the beginning, and I'm still working on an intro, and end credits. I can't wait until its completely done, because I have to submit it to both Universities that i applied to.

As well, if must be, you can check out my other videos over on Youtube so go check that out.

Oh, before i forget, check this video out, I found it a couple days ago, it was pretty funny.

I know I said in my earlier post that I was working on a tutorial, however, when it came time to do it, I forgot about my english presentation (which so happens to be on film) so I scurried to do that, and before I knew it yesterday, I had a soccer game at 10:00, so I was pretty tired.

"What was my tutorial going to be about?" you may ask yourself. Well, originally I planned on making an After Effects tutorial on explosions and what not, but then I had no luck with After Effects downloading, so I was going to make a tutorial on "How to Make a One Man Band" which was going to be a more humorous tutorial, but as I said, I ran out of time from my previous video (The rough cut above) and my English and History ISUs. Oh the workload, but what can you do.

Things I've learnt about blogspot over a while:

-Hyperlinking words

-Advertising other people's blogs

-Embeding Youtube videos

-Designing the background for Blogspot (if you think back to last year, I went through many different background changes)

-And a bit of HTML with the overall layout of this page

For the sake of saying things, it's been said.

End of the semester

2010-01-12T15:56:00.000-08:00

Aaaaaaaaaaaah man, reaching the end of the semester.

With that in mind, there's a ton of projects that I have to do. I still have to finish up my video, Im just missing two scenes, however its difficult to film when you're the only person in your video, and you have no one to help with tripod and stuff.

I finished my english essay, thank god, and i plan on never writing another essay until the history exam, and thats it. After that, im done with essays.

Then i have a History presentation this friday, and an english presentation next thursday, stuff is starting to get tight.

So within a few days, i should have a video up here, a tutorial using sony vegas. Im still contemplating what i should do, so far, im thinking explosions; exploding snowballs.

This tutorial is worth marks actually. I have to send my teacher the link to this site for him to view the tutorial so he can mark it and such. I knew blogspot would come in handy someday.

As for gaming, i haven't gamed in time. Of course ill spend maybe a half hour-hour and a half playing ps3 or something or a mix of console and computer games, but i think my attention span decreased with games, because i find myself getting bored pretty quick.

Anyways, that's all i wanted to write really.

Wait what?

2009-12-13T13:35:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I haven't posted here in a while, sweet.

I don't know, I just don't have much time for blogs and that stuff... too busy with school and stuff.

All this stuff posted here feels like so long ago and feels like a complete different person wrote for it. I don't know man, I just don't play many games now-a-days, just like Left 4 Dead and some Modern Warfare (1 and 2) and some other Valve games like TF2 and shiit.

I kinda realized how i went through a stage of wanting to do all this; now its like... holy shit, I really wasted my time haha.

Sunnava Shitstorm

2009-04-30T19:12:00.000-07:00

Holy frijoles, time flies by.

Well, i kinda want to keep this one short.

Basically school and shit has flown by really fast, its almost getting to like since its been a year that i've been registered here, yeh know?

As much sense as that didnt make, you should understand.

Its just that today, something funny happened.

Well, what happened, was that at the beggining of second semester, which is like February, and after my vermont trip, so like end of february actually, we were assigned text books and blah blah blah.

What happened was that one day when i brought my text book to class, i put it under my desk, in the tray thing. I left the class without it.

Up until today, i was stuck with a lost text book (how do you like that figurative language?). Me and my buddy dylan are working on our speech thing for tomorrow, when mr. B, our ancient civ teacher asks us to take down the recycling.

Dylan and I arrive at the garbage bins. Dylan goes and empties his, then when i go to empty mine, to my surprise, a lot of paper came out.

So after pouring it, i closed the lid, but something caught my eye. I started to walk towards dylan, when i thought about what i saw. I opened the box up, and to my surprise there was a textbook.

Now, we all know that it was mine, because why else would i be telling the story.

So yeah, thats all i really wanted to say.

Im really tired, and dont feel like having proper grammar this time, so theres lots of mistakse :)

Other than that, i've been playing castle crashers, banjo kazooie, Dawn of war, UT3, COD4, Fable 2 and some other games, RE5, and etc etc...

All the way till now.

2009-03-02T19:52:00.001-08:00

Alright, that was weird. I just hit enter after the title, and I accidentally published the post.

To be completely honest, nothing really has changed since the last post. Besides the fact that it was my birthday on February 26th.

I haven't blogged in a while, because there has been nothing to talk about. Before I used to just talk about random shit, but why waste other people's time?

So I guess I'll review Dawn of War II.

Dawn of War II is a great game, but don't let the name throw you off; its a Warhammer game. Yes, we all know that Warhammer may be a nerdy game, but this isn't like the Warhammer everyone knows. If you know what Dawn of War II is, then you're in the clear, and skip a few lines. This is not medieval at all, this is based in the future. The game is called Warhammer 40K or 40,000 whatever. So to put it past everything, it's basically like Warcraft 3 and Starcraft mixed. You have your hero units, and you have your normal units. However, it's not entirely what you may think it will be. The game itself is classified as an RTS, but you do not build anything. It's a great game for new people to the RTS genre, so they can just pick it up and play, and learn to get better. In a classic RTS like Starcraft where you build buildings and such, can frustrate someone, however, this is pretty basic. Ill start with Campaign. In Campaign, its pretty simple, just do the objective. Do I have complaints? No, the game is pretty damn straight forward. I'm not too far myself, but all I know so far is that Im the space marines, and Im flipping back and forth between two planets right now, and i know theres a 3rd out there. So anyways, multiplayer. At first i was disapointed. You go to custom game, and you will barely find anygames. I think the reason for this, is because it runs on Xbox Live, and people may need to pay for a Gamertag, i do not know of this for sure. Another thing, is the game was just released a couple weeks ago, so it is still new, but still, shouldn't that mean there should be more people online? Anyways, i just started to play more online today, and i found that there were a lot more games up and running, and i finally tried Ranked games. Ranked games are your standard matchmaking.

Alright, into gameplay. I know you're wondering, if you dont build, what do you do? Well, heres where it gets challenging. You have to capture little objectives on your map, which gets you more resources. Requisition is basically your gold, and Power is your vespene gas, or lumber, or whatever the scarce material is in a standard RTS. When you capture these points, it increases the number of points you get per minute. In a 3v3 match, this is good, because it benefits the whole team. Plus, you do not share resources at all with your team, meaning if you spend 500 req. on a tacticle team, it doesnt take money from them; which is pretty straight forward. There are 2 game variations, Victory Capture, and Annihilation. Annihilation, just kill everything. Victory capture, there are 3 victory points, and you start with 500 points, and when it reaches zero, you lose. What really sucks, is when the other team has 2 points captured, and heavily guarded, and you only got 1; then you're boned.

There's not really much more to add to this really. Its a really fun game, there's 4 races, with 3 different heroes. I'd have to give this game an 8.5/10. It's really fun, but there are some tiny things that they could add, like, a control changing option, i dont want to hold ALT to rotate the map, i want to press the middle mouse button. Anyways, its a great game, good price too, pick it up if your pc can run it.

Christmas Holidays

2008-12-31T12:32:00.000-08:00

Sure, its been a while, I know, but still, Christmas holidays were good.

Now, I'm not saying i got a lot for christmas, because I didn't. I only got CoD WaW for Wii, and Entourage season 4 which i just finished the a couple nights ago.

But i did create a video with my friend, if you havn't seen it yet, the link is here.
I'm also happy, because the creators of Awesome Video Games, FFSTv, (far from subtle, not for F*** sakes) featured us on their channel. Here's their original video.

Incase im not on their channel anymore, i took a screenshot :)
Anyways, that's all i wanted, my friend Aleesha is txting me, and now my friend brandon is Voice chatting me and my pants won't stop vibrating.

School's tough...

2008-12-15T19:49:00.000-08:00

Damn, well, there's a lot going on right now, besides work.

English is pretty bull right now, I just finished doing like 2 projects at once, which were due today (monday) and i have a unit test on tuesday (tomorrow).

Economics i gotta get my shirt designs ready, and ship them out, and start selling them! I got a lot of positive feedback!

Welding... Man, grind grind grind... worse than WoW.

Guitar isn't even funny how ridiculously easy it is. Our play test is Packingston's Pound
Even if you say it looks hard, I can play it 2-3 times faster than the guy is playing it there with no sheet music, and no mistakes.

So, all in all, the title of this blog is wrong, because school isn't too tough, but it is a pain right now.

January is gonna be hell, because i have to do a 15 minute speech for english, and a 30 minute spiel on "Virgin" and all of it's companies.

Of course, with this MNC project (the economics) I am partnered with my friend Marc (check his blog out here)

Anyway, that's really all I guess. I gotta get back to studying for this english unit test. I don't like bragging or anything, but i never studied for my last english unit tests, and i pulled off 70's, but that's just me, I don't try. I could probably get a 90 if i studied hard enough, but there's not enough time in my world (:

Oh yeah, crap, i also got an Economics Macro test tomorrow, but luckily its all open book, but than again, it is going to be hard. And that's another subject i didn't bother studying...

Welding is the only one i bother studying, and I shouldn't even study that hard for that class.

Guitar is like, oh crap, quiz you say? What ever shall i do hahah.

Anyway, back to studying, then Fallout 3 or WoW

Wrath of the lich king is pretty good and the graphics seem improved believe it or not.

Hey, It's almost been a month!

Well, I have been busy believe it or not. I don't know how my friend Marc does it. To the people who read this, like 0.1% of the population, check out my friend Marc's blog, it's 10x better than mine, he updates it frequently, and he has some comedy to his. I don't know how he does it. We both work at the same place and everything, and he still manages time.

Right now, I am really tired, that's one reason why I haven't had time.

Second, I went to Montreal to visit my friend eZek0, then he came back to my house. Ahh, good Soul Calibur 4 times.... NAAT! Lol, there was an arguement after every match.

Also, eZek0 got me addicted to Heroes... Great show, great endings, always making you want more. If you don't like the show, I am sorry, but, you fail.

Ahhh, where was I? Oh, YOUTUBEEEEEE WOAAH A WOAAAAAH! Check that video out RIGHT NOW!

I don't know about you, but that's one of the most addicting songs I have heard from Davedays. If you haven't heard of him yet, check him out right now! Like RIGHT NOW!

He inspired me to make a song, better than my P.O.S Mortal Kombat, which wasn't that bad, it just became off beat at parts, and had some other malfunctions, hahaha.

My song you ask? Well, Brandon and his neighbour/my friend Jordan told me that I should do something like Davedays, and well, I can't sing for shit, so, I have something planned... After my next couple of paycheques, I am getting a new pc, and that way I should be able to record stuff with my camcorder, without anything messing up.

MY OLD SONG? Shit man, I don't want to give that out, but hey, here it is.

For any broken links or anything, here:

Well that's all for now, I gotta go to bed, I am tired.

2008-08-01T16:22:00.000-07:00

Hey, as you all are wondering, why haven't I posted in a while. Well you see, I have been pretty busy.

First, I went away last weekend with my dad to his friend's cottage. Pretty damn fun. I went ATV-ing, swimming... etc. Very nice people up there too.
Second, on Monday, we picked up our new vehicle, the 2008 Kia Rondo. Very nice vehicle i must say, however, I checked my e-mail that day, and found out that my drum set was in as well. Also to note, Anthony, my friend from Prevost visited that Monday as well. OH YEAH, on the sunday/monday, Nick and I stayed up all night trying to beat Sonic the Hedgehog. I should really say I stayed up all night, and I shouldn't say tried, because I wrecked that shit... once I got 50 coins that is.
Third, I dunno really. I have been playing WoW, back on my old realm, Korialstrasz, on my warrior with my good friends. I'm just happy, because everything is going good. All my friends are playing too, which is sick. I still do play on Lethon with my friend Jon tho.

Can't really add more, Just very happy that I finally can play my drums.

Another 2 days, another post.

2008-07-21T06:54:00.001-07:00

K, this is turning into a baaaaaaaaaad habit.

Ugh, where to start. Like really, this is the hardest part, deciding whether i should go with Video games first, or like what i did, if it even matters.

I guess i'll go with games, although i don't have too much to say.

Battlefield 2:

This is the only thing i have, and i kinda want to complain, but i cant, because im mainly just pissed off at the clan a bit, because yesterday's "drills" weren't appealing.

Also, youtube news. Yes, youtube news.

Well It's not going to contain all of news from youtube, but like other stuff too. Lets get some stuff out of the way. Smosh's new foodbattle is coming soon. AVGN (James Rolfe The angry video game nerd) is allowing the fans to write up his new episode, which is pretty badass. E-mail the nerd at nerdfans@gmail.com. Be sure to add in your name. I've been subscribed for a while, but i really enjoyed it, was Mattg124's new oreo moment video. I have also added matt to the left there, to my "other awesome blogs." SXEPHIL is with a bunch of other youtubers, such as kevjumba, and Davedays. And that's all i guess i can say here. In real news, Miley Cyrus took a picture of herself in a white t-shirt, and sent it to one of the Jonas brothers. I really don't care, because I'm the same age as her, and I see many of the same teens my age around me, do similar things... but stupider.

So, In main news, check out Mattg124's Youtube channel, under the name of Mattg124, and also, check out his blogspot too, at http://1mattg2goats.blogspot.com. WHY YOU ASK? Because he is a fellow Canadian, and I would like to see a Canadian get pretty high up on youtube, other than The wine kone.

LOL ABSENCE!

2008-07-19T11:06:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I know, I haven't made a blog in a while, and let me tell you why.

Well, On Wednesday, I decided to hang out with Jordan instead, and we all went swimming and stuff, because it was his birthday. He also got the Wii, and I helped him out with that a bit.

Thursday I barely remember. I stayed at home playing CoD4 and stuff and talking to my friend Anthony. That's all i remember. Later that night, Jordan came over and played Wii with me at my house.

Friday, I had to babysit my cousins, which was fun. I got paid big time, and by big time, I mean, I wasn't expecting that much! I also had a baseball game, and to my surprise, we won! I stayed in the rest of that night, because I was tired. But I watched that movie Welcome Home Rosco or something, with Martin Lawrence. Pretty good movie.

Naow! I am making a blawg today, because I won't be home until later tonight.

Why you ask?

Its my Grandparents 50th Anniversary, and at 4:00 we are going to their house, and surprising them, by picking them up in a LIMO! Like holy shit balls in a water fountain!

I'll let you guys know how that goes.

In my gaming news, I have some updates:

World of Warcraft:
Well, it always happens. I join a new realm, then my friend will leave. Luckily, there are two people on that realm that are my good friends, so, the one guy, Jon who has a level 70, made an ALT, and plays with me, but he's lower than me, not by much however. If you're wondering what I am, I'm a level 25 Tauren druid. Almost 26!! Lol. I have a 43 Human Warrior, and a 41 Dwarf Paladin, and many others above level 20, but these are my mains, I guess.

Call of Duty 4:
Well, I have been playing it a lot lately. It's a great game. Beautiful graphics, great gameplay, short loading times, everything I like. I usually play 1v1 against my friend Anthonyo117.

Dungeon Siege:
Well, Anthonyo117 likes to play it, and I really don't. I would much rather play WoW or Diablo 2. We have gotten farther. The good thing about DS, is that there are two campaigns. There is one for offline/single player, and one for online. However, you can play both online. Anthony and I just use Hamachi, and play a network game.

Battlefield 2:
Wow, I never felt the urge to play that game in a long time, since today. That's right, today, I played for about an hour. It's a pretty good game, I just don't fancy the waiting times. That's what pissed me off the first time. And also, Highway Tampa, one of my favourite maps, never loads. I gotta re-install it or the patch, or get a new one.

Dungeon Runners:

Well, G4 said it was a good game, so I am going to download it one day, and play with Anthony. BEST OF ALL! ITS FREE!

That's about all for gaming news and stuff.

Yesterday's update., plus today.

2008-07-16T08:21:00.000-07:00

I don't know what to say.

Well, anyways, yesterday when I went to my friend Jason's house, we were outside all day, so there isn't too much to say there.

However, I got to meet more of his friends, like Taylor, Blaire, and Nolan, of which i have met before.

At about 9:00 or so yesterday, we went back to Nolan's house, for Jason and Blaire and Chris and Taylor's purposes. Earlier, another one of Jason's friends, Nathan left to go back home.

I left Nolan's at about 9:30, and got home at about 10 or earlier. I had to walk back to Jason's, to grab my bike, then when I got home, I had to put my bike away and stuff.

I don't know what came over me, but I had the worst headache ever, and even worse, my mom thought I was drinking and shit, which I wasn't. Luckily, my dad had a headache too, and my mom's friend, so she knew it was allergies.

I came back to my PC, thinking I was going to blog this, but then, I started to get dizzy and shit, so I went straight to bed. Ugh... Horrible HORRIBLE dreams.

TODAY!!!!!

Well, I have the choice of going to Jason's, or staying home. As much as I want to go to Jason's, I am still not feeling too good, so maybe Thursday I will.

Jordan phoned me before I started this blog, and it's his birthday today, and he got his Wii, and since I have one, he wants me to help him set it up, but I haven't had my shower yet or anything, so I probably won't go until after.

Well, That's all for this really, I can't really think straight, but I will try to update later tonight.

For the sake of saying things, it's been said.
-Qw3rty

And Off I go!!!

2008-07-15T07:34:00.000-07:00

Well, I pretty much won't be here for the rest of the day. I'm heading over to my friend Jason's soon. First I gatta shower and shat.

I'll have another update after I come home, which won't be for a while, and I mean, not until like 8 9 or even 10.

LAST BLOG for the day atleast!

2008-07-14T15:29:00.000-07:00

Well, I decided to add some mega changes, from fonts, to even the background.

I didn't mind the default background, not at all, it was great. But I look up to Digital Ph33r's Background, because it's so bad ass!

Anyway, I hope you guys like the new background and everything.

One more quick update

2008-07-14T14:19:00.000-07:00

I beat Tetris again today, and I though that I would record it. Well, without further adu, here it is.
The quality sucks, I know.

Here it is on youtube.

It probably has better quality, and it has more of an explanation.

SON OF A BLOGSPOT!

2008-07-14T13:59:00.000-07:00

Lol Hey everyone, this is Brennan/Qw3rty. I WILL be referring to myself as Qw3rty, because, I find that it is easier.

Now, Lets get some things out of the way.

1) Have I blogged before?
Yes I have. I still currently blog on Xfire.com, which i will give the link out to my previous non-exciting blogs(haha).
2) I don't want to find a boring blog, is yours going to be boring?
Well, I'll let you decide. A couple of my friends have read my Xfire Blogs, and were impressed, and continue to read them, making me want to move on.
3) How did you find out about Blogger?
Well, my good friend Marc/Capin Tater/Potato28, whatever he goes by.
4)Any other cool blogs you read?
DIGITAL PH33R BABY! And Philip DeFranco.
5) What are your blogs about?
Any thing interesting that happens in my day. Websites I find, or given to me. Music, much more.

And, I really don't know how to end my blogs too well.

But this isn't the end, I have much more to say.

**THE REAL BLOG***

What really happened today, was that I had to wake up extra early, at 7:00 am, to go to my grandparents, while my dad took my car to the Auto Shop, for a safety test. It passed the test, lol. In the mean time, I was out back with my grandma, trimming hedges. When my dad came home, we went to Purolator, or however it's spelt, and I picked up my box, for my Rockband drums. Yes, they shipped the whole drums and everything. After that, we went back to my grandparents, and I had a shower, then I had to get my healthcard re-done or something. We went to marks work warehouse after that to pick up some stuff for an anniversary. Happily after that, we went to LONG AND MCQUADE! And my drums will be arriving in Montreal in 15 days, and will be shipped when recieved. Finally, after waiting since may 25th. We also took a Saturn Astra out for a test drive, and I have to say, overall, we were impressed. I just didn't like the inside as much, it felt to plasticky, but overall, it was very European like, which i liked.

Now, I'm sitting on my ass, typing all this.

Earlier, I said something about Xfire blog, here is the link: http://www.xfire.com/blog/liketysplitz/

And just a side note, it's a good idea to read my previous blogs, to see how some things came about.
