...I'm at the point where I ran out of titles for posts.

Not much happening. Just sitting here at work, doing some plotting in my mind while I'm earning some scratch. You know, milking the ol' cash cow. Just got my pay check...I'm really eager to get my new computer, but I have a coupon that I can get a $130 Best Buy gift card with the purchase, which won't activate until the second week of Dec. So I'm waiting until the coupon starts, because it would be stupid not too.

This anticipation is driving me nuts. I want my computer, dammit.
Oh well, gotta just be patient.

Also, I didn't want this to turn into pretty much exclusively a production blog, but it feels like it's drifting that way...so I leave you with:

Where in the world is Bob_Bobbson?

Alright, Updates n' shit.

-Slendy Series: I have not gotten too far. I have the over all plot, broken into 3 acts (which will probably equal 3 seasons of around 15-22 'episodes') I have the ending already written (And it is awesome) and from there some seeds of how I can carry on after for a season 4 if I ever decide to. Don't worry though, if not, the Season 3 ending is very conclusive and satisfying. I also started plotting out the first couple episodes. I do not have any cast yet, no costume. Just my camera...

-Other ARG-y elements: While this will be just what some call 'Chaotic Fiction', not an ARG, I will work in a few elements to increase immersion. For example, I will make a blog, a Twitter, a last.fm and a couple other various social networking accounts for the characters involved. For the characters that it makes sense for, I will also make youtube accounts. My hope is to have the actors I get fill these out some and sort of get a chance to stretch their legs and flesh out their characters as they see fit.

-Video Shit in general: So, I have my really nice camera...what's next? My Laptop is probably about 4-5 years old now. It's slow, I've filled most of the HDD, and the editing software I am using (Sony Vegas) keeps fighting with me. I just can't get the hang of it, and it runs slow on my slow ass computer. So, I have a plan. I'm getting a Macbook Pro. Yep, some time between now and Christmas, I will pick up a Macbook and Final Cut Studio. This works great because I need a new computer anyway, I learned how to use FCP in my high school TV class, and the software is cheaper (w/about 7 other programs bundled in) than the software on PC. All I need to do is get used to using a Mac again after about 6 years...

That's it for now, Just really happy Marble Hornets came back last night. Hell Yeah.
