We’ll be debuting the world premier of “The Early Birds, The Movie: The Good, The Bad, and The Hungry”, starring Peter Danner Hess and Samantha Proffit. It’s arguably the most cinematic short film I’ve ever worked on, and there’s even talk among my partners that we will pursue a feature-length “Director’s Cut” this summer which could well find it’s way to film festivals if all goes well. What, you want to see what we’ve got so far? Fine, here’s the trailer(watch it on Youtube for higher-resolution versions).

It wouldn’t bother me if the vast majority of people were smart enough to see through the bullshit, but they don’t. The “enlightened” bourgeoisie of this country and their “ignorant” proletariat, apparently, would rather have their hands held and their decisions made for them, and for their children as well. You have the freedom to say what is on your mind in this country, and kudos to you for having it. However, fuck you for having the gall to try and abuse your freedoms in order to take mine away.

My agenda is simple. I like my hobby. I don’t want power-greedy motherfuckers elected by blissfully unaware citizens to try and twist and distort my hobby, or tell me what I can or can’t play, in order to score what they perceive as real power – the ability to tell the underlings of this country what to do, what they can or cannot do, and to mix up their poor, soft little brains in such a way that they give the rulers of this oligarchical institution thinly veiled as a democratic republic all of their earthly goods and previously established freedoms. And hey, while we’re at it, I want otherwise intelligent parents to stop lying to themselves about why their kids are miserable, antisocial fucks and do some real goddamn parenting – maybe even find a way to become an inspirational figure in your child’s life.

Like I said, it strikes a nerve.

I guess it’s somewhat unique, but I think there’s too many veggies boiling in the kettle, myself. Nintendo has a history of making developers implement stupid gameplay mechanics in order to utilize all functions of a given hardware platform – i’m looking right at you, DS. I pretty much loathe touch screen gaming, and the idea that i’ll actually have to combine that with waggling just makes me want to throw up.

Shit to do, shit to do…

Eventually, when I find some free time and have the energy, I plan on revamping the blog and cleaning things up. I’ll be adding sections for all of my video projects, updating my bio, and things of that nature. I may even start posting a bit more regularly, though don’t hold me to that. I do most of my status updates as of late on Facebook. Feel free to hit me up and send a friend request, although I must warn you that I am pretty strict about the definition of ‘friend’, so write some sort of unique note to let me know who you are and how you came to know(of) me and we’ll see what happens.

There’s lots to discuss, but my mind is pretty drained at the moment, so adieu, comrades, adieu.

In a bout of nostalgia, I have uploaded an ever-so-slightly earlier cut of Making The Theory, a documentary included with the ill-fated Video Game Theory, Volume One archive dvd(it shames me to admit that this mp4 version is actually higher quality than the final dvd version). I figured I would give it away online for free just in case someone gets curious. Eventually, whenever I can find a good way to do so, I will upload the entire archive of Video Game Theory episodes as well for the illusion of posterity.

I am not fooling myself. I know, in the grand scheme of things, this entire post is moot, minute, absolutely meaningless to the rest of the world…But it’s important to me. I want people to know where I got my start. I want people to laugh at the ridiculousness of a group of naive kids surrounding a shitty mic, talking out of their asses. For almost two years, Video Game Theory was my life. I take full responsibility for not giving the show it’s due, but I am proud of what I, what we – Dillon, Josh, and Addison – accomplished with no experience, no budget, and absolutely shite equipment. It was a tremendous learning experience.

I only wish the guys would drop by and say a few words.

Vega and Trey have an epiphany.
