So for the past week I've been working on these new videos for my youtube channel, sad thing is they aren't about me!
As you know my family owns a store in Red Wing which I work at and do alot of their social media managing. Yet I don't really get paid for it, go figure.
Anyways, Since I run and manage my own youtube channel my mom finds it easier to have me shoot/edit/and produce video's for her facebook page for the store. Well I've done a few by myself and now she has the itch to be in alot more of these videos.
I guess thats ok but now I'm spending more time on the store videos then filming my vlogs/modds/gaming! so who's booking this stuff now?

nude photo leaks?
So I know I haven't watched G4tv in a LONG time. But when I did I use to watch "Attack of the Show". The show was hosted by Kevin Parara (sp) and Oliva Munn.
Now I can NOT stand these two people!
Don't get me wrong, they know what they are talking about but only for the fact that they have writers and people who do the research for them to put the information on the tv show. Aside from being able to read a script they don't know much and really don't offer alot to the table of the 'tech' fan.
Sure they go to events like GDC and E3 to report, but really have you seen them actually sit down and play a game of Modern Warfare or Mario Golf on tv? Because the times I've seen them play they do it for 3 seconds then segway into another topic.
Now apparently Olivia Munn's Cell phone was hacked a few days ago and some 'supposed' nude pictures were leaked onto the internet.
Hell I'm a guy so I looked them up. Everyone acted like they were the end of the world for her and she denyed that they were of her. Well I'm sorry to say they didn't thrill me. Yea they are of her, hint for next time, Don't photograph yourself in the same spot clothed then nude. Easy to tell if your faking it, much like your career.
Now normaly I should be agains this, but I'm not. I hate that chick and all she stands for, might go back to the "Dj Chrisy chris" statement she did a few years ago.
The way I see it she got what she deserved.

Video Making Process? How its done
So alot of people have asked me, "how do you come up with the ideas for your videos?".
Well about 75% of the time I just turn the camera on and shoot it all in one take. And 25% of the time I actually sit down and figure out how I want it to look.
Those times are the long ones. Like the New Years Eve video and some of the outings at bars/events. Those times I actually have people to film and interact with during the recording. Those are the fun ones.
Some of my fellow Youtubers sit down and make up scripts and storys they want to do in their videos, sorry not that type of person. I enjoy recording real life interactions. Probably one of the reasons I go to bars with my cameras and get clips so often.
I do make up some story videos up. I have about 40 of them I want to film but can't figure out how to make them. I know I have PLENTY of people that would do them with me, just can't figure out direction and the camera work that I would have to do for them.
Who knows maybe one day I'll actually do one of these videos for you guys. Untill then you get to see my pick ups and mini-vlogs I post every other week!

mods mods and more mods!
Remember a month or so ago I posted about my Rapid fire mod to my xbox 360 controller. Well I found something that is going to make it work even better!
While packing up my stuff from my apartment for the move I found 2 of my old towers that were scrapped out. Inside was about 5 ft of ribon cable not connected but just sitting there. I looked at the cable and realized it would be way easier to use as a modding wire then the thicker wire I've been using.
Now why use thin wire? well the thick wire I have been using don't make moving it around easy. To make the power conection you have to soder it to the player 1 LED on the controler, now this is ok but if you try to move the wire and position it after its done, it snaps right off.
A thinner wire is easier because it can move around freely and not snap off the soder.
So I took the wire and stripped the 16 wires down to single strips. I then took 2 and connected them to 1 wire thus making it easy to create a faster build. With these pre-made strips I'll be able to produce even more of these mods. Even make some double fire mods!
So yes, they will be the left and right side L2 and R2 triggers. I'm going to be making these up tomorrow night and will shoot some video of them.
Just gotta buy a new soder rod and some other stuff first. Yea you gotta spend money to make money.
Also as for the bullet mods, those will be available soon. I just gotta shoot off some bullets first!

Bring back good TV!
So Normaly my soap box is broken from my standing on it from alot of issues. Well here is another one!
I logged into my youtube (http://www.youtube.com/strangebrownie) account to check my messages and emails and noticed a constant add that kept popping up in the side bar.
It was an add for a NEW Tv show on Nickalodian (nick) about a young kid who is being funny in school and around his family. Oh how cute, that hasn't been done before, oh wait.... is that...
ITS FRED!?!
So a kid who has been a youtube celebrity and got his start doing independant video's on a public video feed site that signed him on to make a revenue and living off these videos now works for a company thats MAIN owner is Viacom.
Why am I pissed about this, well Viacom is one of the main creators of the SOPA and PPIA bill that wasn't passed a few months ago,but still its trying to be turned over in courts.
Now the creator and star of Fred in my opinion is an idiot for agreeing to have a 'tv show' be made by Nick. He is proof that he can be bought.
I for one would never agree to do something like this. If they asked me to make a video game review show for "G4" and have all gaming channels blocked on youtube, I'd say hell no. I would continue to support the organization that I got my start.
When MPW was under fire by other promoters I still stood by MPW till the day the door closed.
You don't turn coat on where you started Fred.
But hey good luck with your shity tv show baised on your shitty movies that were raped by a coperation thats trying to make a monopaly on entertainment.

The Darkness 2 Game Review
So I just picked up "The Darkness 2" for the Xbox 360. The version I got was the "special Edition" which gave me 2 DLC things.
1) 2 volumes for my 'ipad' or 'tablet' to read the comics. But I don't have either of these, so I'll be hooking my dad up with this since he's got a tablet.
and
2) a DLC that has the locations of all the "relics" in the game. a little "t" shows up on the screan when your near one so its easier to find and get points to upgrade your 'darkness' powers.
So onto my review of this game.
NOTICE: I'm half way done with the game and about 4 hours into it on 'normal' mode.
The game starts off just like the demo. You have the choice of watching a video that is a "previously on" type thing for those of you who haven't played the first game. But then again, WHY HAVEN'T YOU!!!
The controlls are VERY nice this time. you do have the option to have 2 guns at the same time, I don't suggest this. shooting both has crappy aim. Plus you get to have 1 power gun (shot gun, assault rifle, rifle). The left bumper controls the left tenticle arm that grabs things, and the right bumper controls the right arm that slashes/whips things. you use these to take out enemies and doorways. Very nice.
The acting is similar to the first game. I think the actor who plays Jacki is the same guy from the first game so thats a plus.
Like I said I'm half way with the game and up until this point its very entertaining. I do suggest that you go out and pick this one up. I know there are two versions of the game out the special and normal. I just got the special because thats all they had at walmart, only difference is those DLC codes.
Either way its a great game, so go check it out.
I give it 4 Darklings outa 5!

Tim and Eric Movie review
So I was messing around on my Zune account on Xbox and noticed that they were having a pre-viewing for "Tim and Eric's Billion dollar Movie". I think this ends in a week?
They have done these types of movies before where they show the before they hit theaters then have a limited release for the public till they decide they lost too much money and throw it on a DVD. Hatchet was one of them. (sorry those of you who liked it)
So onto the movie review.
Now I did dish out the 800 Microsoft points (msp) for this crap fest. Yea you already can tell I hated it. Well I guess not really hated it more like disliked it alot.
The movie wasn't the same as the TV show, which you gotta be either drunk or high to get it. I'm usually neither (I should start getting high I think?). The movie does star Tim and Eric (who play themselves) as they make a billion dollar movie with a studios money. The studio see's the film and sets out to kill them for their money.
Tim and Eric run off to manage and run a Rundown Mall. In the mall its owned by a character played by Will Feralle (sp). Yea they got him in this movie! And his nephew Played by John C. Riley!!! Wow they actually have one of the guys from the show.
Needless to say for about 45 mins they have a somewhat storyline going. The Hollywood crew finds out where they are and in 3 mins they end the movie with some chopped off heads and smiles. Similar to the TV show, I guess?
So if they asked me to see this movie again would I? Well, Maybe. Its one of those movies you rent and not own. But then again where do you rent movies now-a-days?
I did enjoy the john c. riley parts. He is one of my favorite actors and I always enjoyed his "Dr. Steve Brulle" on the TV show and his spin off. As for Tim and Eric, well maybe they should stick to the TV shows.
I give this 2 Tocitos outa 5.
