Voices for Japan

Though a couple months have passed since the devastating earthquake in Japan, we have not forgotten the struggle the nation is still enduring. Here these voices have come together to send a song of hope to them, a hymn of faith and change.

The collaboration was put together by TroisNyxEtienne.

(Also singing along side me is my friend and "co-worker" Raikujo who gets cookie points for singing through strep throat. He's an angel!)

I am very honored to have been apart of such a wonderful, thoughtful effort, and I wanted to share with you guys. <3

Remastered Scout's Mom Soundpack!

So this one time I made a soundpack for Team Fortress 2's Scout's Mom that all the gmodders and machinima makers I adore could have more options than turning up the pitch on Scout's voice. And this one time, I finished the soundpack just in time for Mother's Day, which was a nice way to present the piece to the public.

Then I saw that the quality of the audio was a hot mess. But what was I to do? With over 190 lines, I didn't have time to edit. And the laptop was all the way over theeeere... 

So then, this one time, MaxofS2D was all "Hey, I can edit your audio for you :3".

And then I was all like, "NO WAI".

And then he did, and it was all like "AWESOME!" and I was all like "AWESOME!" and Max was all like "AWESOME!" 

Sooo, here's hoping you still think it's awesome too.

The new remastered version here, hosted on Max's domain:

This version will also be posted in the original video.  

And then I was all, "K, sleep now." 

And then I slept.

Happy Mother's Day!

Whether you're a mother, have a mother, love a mother, played Mother, or just like to say the word "mother", I wish you all a Happy Nearly-Belated Mother's Day!

As I've been spending most of the day with my own maternal figure, I've made this post a little later than I thought I would. But like a nine month gestation period of thunder and lava, I'm hoping it'll be worth the cervical splitting pain!

Here for your listening pleasure are the results of the "Scout's Mom Says..." Mother's Day Contest. I've chosen three winners whose line will be put into the Scout's Mom Gmod and Machinama soundpack.

Fair warning: since this wasn't going into the game, it's as rough as rough gets. The volume is low, but that's the only real thing that bugs me regarding quality.

Hope you all enjoy! :)

Now How Do I Work This Thing?

If you're reading this, then congratulations! 

To me! 

Because this being visible to the outside world means I have not made the internet implode upon itself by attempting to start a blog. Good job, me. Have a treat.

But at any rate, welcome to my unimploded space on the web! After a slew of allergy attacks, late hours at the job, freelance research, and countless nights of just being too deliciously lazy, I've at last found the time and energy to start this so called... "buh-lah-guh".

No doubt most of you were brought here via my YouTube Channel. If not, welcome anyway!  

I'm still trying to get a feel for this, so bare with me...

I recently had two wisdom teeth pulled and will be out of commission for at least a week or two until my jaw feels well enough to move around for voice over. Think of the stuff to come as over compensation. 

Not to mention I'm getting the other two pulled in July, so just copypasta all this pain for a month and a half from now... Boy oh boy!

If you're still reading, I commend you. As a reward, here's a new voice over exercise I whipped up in honor of the upcoming sequel to American McGee's Alice. After waiting MORE THAN HALF A DAMN DECADE for it, I'm super psyched for Alice: The Madness Returns!

 

In other news, I'm editing the Scout's Mom soundpack. In a perfect world, it'll be done by Mother's Day. I'm nervous about it, but hopefully there are some gmodders out there who could get some use from it.

As for the Female Spy being feature on Team Fortress 2's official blog? I'll save this from being anymore TL;DR by just making a video on it.

Let's see where this thing goes. Hope we all have fun while we're here.
