The Greatest Movie Ever Made

I was fishing around Albino Blacksheep today and found The Demented Cartoon Movie by Brian Kendall. If you're a fan of dry Monty Pythonesque humor you won't mind this movie sucking away thirty minutes of your life that you'll never, ever get back.

See it here.

X-Box Killer

"What if Apple created it's own gaming console?" asked one member of the P&P Forum. The following was my answer.

It would be the most stable console gaming system ever and would never need to be maintained. It would also have immediate plug-n-play capabilities and built-in support for iLife. It would also be extremely user-friendly and talk to you if it needed your attention. It would also be contained within its own high-definition LCD screen (with optional stand).

It would be called iBox.

The Apple iBox would be backward compatible with all known console gaming systems; playing everything from X-Box and Playstation 2 titles to Dreamcast and that nasty Atari system everyone's forgotten about. An optional universal plug-n-play device would enable the iBox to read cartridges ranging from 8 to 64bit.

However, everyone except the gaming elite would use the system but they'd swear by it. Then Apple would buy back Bungie and the company would make all of it's games exclusively for iBox. Then just before the genre-breaking Halo 7 is released for iBox, Microsoft buys Bungie back so that it can spend the next three years porting it's once iBox-exclusive game to be playable only on the X-Box 4 as its flagship title.

Then Halo 7 for PC is released eight years later by Gearbox Software, needing the money from poor sales of its fledgling Brothers In Arms 9: The Road To V.F.W. game.

It is 2015 and Bill Gates announces officially that Longhorn will finally be released and George Broussard comes clean and states Duke Nukem Forever was just a joke all along.

impossibleFX.com

I've made Blogspot the official roost for my website today. Why? It's free and easier to maintain.

Sure, I'll still do some coding by hand but now it's because I want to, not because I have to. And with Hello from Picasa, I can use my blog to do what the website was originally created to be; an online gallery of my collected artwork.

To the right you will see links to my art galleries: Photography, Digital and Traditional, as well as links to my company, Jōb Omnimedia and the modern Christian church my business partners and I lead, Fuzion.

Also, be sure to check out the machinima web series we've created called Purple & Pink, a clever parody of Red vs. Blue and a tribute to our favorite game, Halo.

Well have fun, enjoy the galleries and write a comment or two to let me know how you feel. You can also reach me by e-mail. Take care.

Purple & Pink

I've teamed up with Jorge Martinez, Julian Garcia and Rick Hinojosa along with the kids from our Chi-Rho youth ministry in association with our company Jōb Omnimedia to produce a weekly internet series poking fun at Red vs Blue.

I had sent a single news article about our work to HaloPlanet.com and the day after the news posted, Halo.Bungie.org picked up the article and ran it. That day our servers logged 3, 435 hits and about 34 gigabytes of transfer as visitors began to download and soak-in our homemade P&P goodness.
