Here it is. (my first wide screen video too!) Sorry, it’s somewhat blurry; I tried new export settings.

I beat Prince of Persia over the weekend and it was some of the most fun I’ve had with video games in awhile. The environmental design is eye candy, the characters are enjoyable, and the gameplay/combat system is a pleasure to repeat. I look forward to playing through the game a second time. YOU should look forward to my full review of the game on Cats of Thondor soon!

See here.

I’ve recently been improvising on the piano to a music piece from the game, Final Fantasy X-2. It’s a very soothing and sensitive piece called “Eternity” and I’ve come to love playing it.

I knew I wanted to record it, but I simply had too many ideas I wanted to incorporate into a single cover. So I’ve decided to do it in three separate arrangements!

Here is part one of three. Enjoy!

Just completed the Endless Setlist 2 on Rock Band 2 (84 songs in a row). Can’t say I’m entirely happy though. Out of the 420 stars I could have gotten (5 per song), I managed to four-starred “Chop Suey.” (I’m sort of a perfectionist) System of the Down, go burn in hell… Though, as much as I’d like to take it out on them, I just simply suck at that song, damn it!

It took me over five hours to finish the set list and my left hand aches; it’s bedtime.

I wasn’t kidding in my previous post titled, “A Fierce Battle Is Approaching.” Apparently, a temporary employee for a Walmart in New York was killed on Black Friday during the store’s 5:30AM opening. He fell to the ground and was ignored by all the anxious customers entering the store. Police and witnesses state that he was probably trampled on by over a hundred people before someone could come to assist him. The full story can be found here.

It’s all really sad. Someone’s life is worth far more than some discounted item.

I hope everyone had/is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. Just keep eating – the night is still young!

In preparation for Black Friday, I found an article with a ton of ridiculous pictures of stores preparing for the upcoming onslaught. This video was with those pictures and is equally as ridiculous.

I just realized that YouTube has changed to widescreen for all their videos. Kind of weird seeing the left column of the site so wide. I guess I’ll just have to get use to it. I suppose this means I should experiment with widescreen settings for my upcoming videos.
