My vid is finally finished! :D

Woohoo! I have finally finished my video! This video is my personal entry to Gamevil's Air Penguin Video Contest. Air Penguin is an awesome game on the iOS appstore. It was so popular it toppled Angry Birds as the #1 app in the whole appstore!

Here's the vid:




Let me know what you think k? :'D
Now time to spend the rest of my weekend before I become the emcee at my school's Teacher's Day celebration (deep breaths).

Mid Terms are here (again)

Okay, the mid term exams are here again. Time to crack the books. The ol' grind. Exam-a-geddon. Pow, bookslide. You get the idea. But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Here:

The game is set to come with 45 exclusive levels (more fun!) which is undoubtedly gonna be set in the Rio universe at well, Rio de Janeiro .

Egypt's Internet Has Been Shut Off!

     Talk about crazy. An entire nation of 80,000,000 has been disconnected from their Internet. To combat information between protestors being set to and fro, the Egyptian government has shut down the Internet.

   

Do Nothing For 2 Minutes!

     Why are you still on the Internet? You've been here for hours!. If you're reading this though, I'm guessing that you have tons of tabs open on your browser. You know what? Rest for 2 minutes. Just 2. Can you handle it? Good. Link is below.

....aaaand 10 Billion Apps!

     Apple has done it again! A couple of minutes ago, the 10th billion app has been downloaded from the app store. Also, apple held a promotion/contest anticipating the 10th billion app download like last year when the app store was about to hit a billion downloads. This time, the person that downloads the 10th billion app will get a USD10,000 iTunes gift card, a pretty substantial amount.

5 Things That Might Just Make Me Rip Out Your Blog's Intestines (if a blog does possess any intestines)

*Highly detailed vomit-inducing awesome-looking blood-spurting image of intestines being ripped out censored for good measure*

     So you made a blog. That's great. What's that? Why I'd love to visit and follow. Dumdedumdedum. Clicked on the link already. Yay. Loading. Finally done. So let's see OHMYGOSHNOOOOOOOOO. This is torture! Must...... m-must.....click follow.........GAH!!!! Pop-ups?!?! FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU. My EARS!!! Blooooooood!!! I set up my speakers to loud!!!! god.....j-just kill me already.....i-i.....c-can't......x.x

     That is what me visiting a horribly made blog looks like if it were to be written by drama writers then sent to a director for a drama serial who then edits the script for added drama.

    It just bugs me sometimes when a person has a badly made blog. I'm touching on the design though, not the content. If it were an interesting blog, I'd overlook the problems, though 'overlook' is such a strong word. But if it's content greatly mirrors it's horrible design then that's just adding insult to injury. Now keep in mind that I'm not a highly qualified web designer and this is all a matter of opinion. So keep those angry emails locked up in your "angry emails" safe please. I'm just a human with taste. That's all. Now where was I? Oh yeah. I'm pretty patient when it comes to these type of blogs. But one day, there will be a time when I just lose it against all these blogs. For the sake of humanity.

The Citizen Connection (Chapter 5)

The Citizen Connection

Chapter 4 is located here

Chapter 5 :Rebel Assault

     
     "So, you mind telling me the whole plan? Now that we're safe?" asked Kevin.
    
    Armedius and Kevin were cruising towards the QuAd Office. Thankfully, they went off-road and into the lush forests of Zercrom. Zercrom is a huge flora haven. Unlike the bustling cities of the country, Zercrom is one of the very few sanctuaries where plants can flourish and grow peacefully. There has been a scare among the environmental citizens that the government was planning to destroy more jungles to make way for development, but the citizens campaigned against it. Alexender Markowizch, a famous environmentalist dabbled in politics and rose up in the ranks. He was soon made "Minister of Green" and had the power over future government plans involving trees and whatnot. He was often made fun of, being called "Kermit" ( for having the title of being a Green Minister). Even though he cared for the environment, his views towards citizens differ greatly. It seems that all their leaders were no good scum. Cowards looking for wealth and power.

I just got myself USD500!

     So everybody, what's up? I haven't been blogging for quite sometime mainly because my parents are finally home (so happy!) and I'm feeling pretty down that the holidays are coming to an abrupt halt.

   About 2 weeks ago I entered a contest. It's the Gameloft Video Response Contest. The grand prize is a USD500 apple store gift certificate and all of Gameloft's games for 2010. I decided to give it a shot. I fired up Photoshop and Sony Vegas 8 and began working on a video. Time was tight. I had only 3 days before I had to go fetch my parents after their return from the pilgrimage. After hours of work it was finally done. And skip a couple of days later, Gameloft announced that I was the winner. I was breathless.

Ben The Bodyguard

     Ben The Bodyguard is an upcoming iOS app that will be "protecting your passwords, photos, contacts
and other sensitive stuff on your iPhone or iPod touch". How the actual app looks like or how it works is beyond me. It'll be released next January. But I'm not here to talk about the app, no I'm talking about the promotional website.


     The website, is an animated (though you'll have to scroll down) site that looks like a graphic novel. Keep on scrolling and a Frenchman named Ben walks down a dark alley telling you awesome stuff to promote the app. The website is made only using HTML5 and other web standards. No Flash animation here. The website has done quite well in raising interest that I'm pretty interested in the app. Though why I need and app like that is unknown.


    So go check out the website and start scrolling!
