Not The Collaboration You Want

So I got this in my email yesterday. I assume it was quickly deleted when the person discovered it's REALLY not the collaboration he wants.


I'm so sad that the message wasn't kept there, even if it is automated spam. I was so tempted to respond by saying that I can play keyboard (get it?) and offer a lot of squeals and sneezes to his work. The other part of this that amuses me greatly is that this bandhub site is basically data mining/searching for key words (the title of my video is also a Basshunter song). Apparently the only qualification for finding someone to collaborate with is liking Basshunter. This gentlemen has the highest of standards.

Hey, maybe it's some sort of clever marketing scheme that goes completely over my head or a scam, but I still had some giggles. I am the least musical person you will ever meet. I can't sing, I can't play anything and I can't dance.

In other news....SHAUNA AND I FINISHED TESTAMENT OF SHERLOCK HOLMES!!!111!!!1!!!!!

Yeah we started that in like...October.

October 2015.

Was really fun trying to remember wtf was going on and what we were supposed to be doing. Meanwhile Watson doesn't understand personal space. I will say the monkey jewel thief comes full circle in shocking and unexpected ways!

I'll try REALLY hard to get Sherlock and Evil Within out before 2017. Just get the silly and unpleasantness out of the way once and for all. I've been working on the RPG again instead of video work though. I am SO close to having the first area done/playable. I predict another 16 hours of work, which is nothing if I'm working on it full time. I am not. Also the fact that the bloody copier took me about 2 hours to get fully functional is a little embarrassing. Emulates real printers and photocopiers I suppose. I have the level/map plan hashed out in my project and a strategy for building/testing all of them. Turns out making a game is a lot of work when you're the only one building, designing, writing, creating assets and scripting. Also, I highly recommend going into a project like this with at least a little knowledge of what you're doing and not starting out at level 0 in terms of trying to figure things out. Either way, Mesk, HKS and Nick have been invaluable resources.

Problem is this week is a little busy. I work 14 hours today to get home round 10:30pm, then tomorrow I'll be home round 9:30pm, then Wednesday I'll be home around 10:30pm, then Thursday I'll be home around 11:30pm the Friday...oh maybe Friday I'll have some time. Then Saturday I may have the daytime free, but I'm busy 5pm on. Sunday obviously is Christmas and I'll be busy with family. Boxing Day....hmmm boxing day would be a good day to work on videos while everyone is out stressing themselves with sales and shopping...excellent.
