DELAYS AND DELIGHTS ~ RESUME ~ MOAR

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 10, 2012, 9:44 PM



"I like the sound of the broken pieces, I like the lights that assign where she sits, we got machines but the kids got Jesus, we like to move like we're off the name list." - Gerard Way, "Professional Griefers" by deadmau5 (feat. Gerard Way)

Heya and aloha guys! TheDarkOfNight-D or Dil here with another journal!

=============================================================================================
NEWS FROM THE LIFE OF D (Dil):

Well, how's everyone doing? And what's up, everyone?

'Kay, so I've been doing swell so far, we're well into August and already I have a mesh of busy days and lazy days. On those lazy days, you KNOW I'm working on new material. However, I'll live, and my mellow self will drag me right on through! So, yeah! As well, anyone looking for PSN IDs or so on? Mine's NeonYuna626, so if you wanna add, go right ahead! As well, if anyone has a Wii or 3DS and wants to add me to a game or their system, just ask!

So first thing's first, on some news; there was a recent "TRON Uprising" marathon that aired a few days back on the U.S. Disney XD stations that revealed a pivotal piece of information as to why there's a TRON drought. It revealed that new episodes of "TRON Uprising" will not be starting back up until October. Now, while I do love the news, I think that this is a long wait for new TRON eps, especially since the next two were supposed to be the long-awaited and ill-fated "Scars" two-parter. Kind of a downer, since we're only seven episodes in and we're already getting a delay. Seems like planning gone weird on Disney's end.

I digress though; something that WILL pass the wait for everyone is that if you follow Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, you'd be happy to know that the new season of "Once Upon A Time" is set to premiere next month on September 30th. That means, if we're not trying to pass the time to new TRON episodes, we can pass the time to new stories in Storybrooke. I await both pretty heartily.

Speaking of things being awaited pretty heartily, some of you may have heard the news that Joel Zimmerman, or deadmau5 has revealed his new album out next month. The album is called "> album title goes here <" and is set to be the follow-up to his previously popular album "4 x 4 = 12". Now, what makes this album big is the tracks that are being included; not only are some long-awaited mau5 classics being thrown into the album, but we're also getting collaborations with Wolfgang Gartner (i.e. "Channel 42"), Chris James (i.e. "The Veldt"), Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance (i.e."Professional Griefers"), and even Imogen Heap (i.e. "Telemiscommunications"). The album's set to release next month on September 25th, alongside a slew of other albums like Green Day's first new album shot "Uno!", Mumford & Sons new album "Babel", and Disney's "Frankenweenie Unleashed" compilation. Needless to say, I'm excited for mau5's new album; as an EDM listener, I know I'm gonna be treated to something big and built. Either way, hopefully it doesn't take too long to arrive!

Final thing, back when I was getting the solid "KINGDOM HEARTS 3D: Dream Drop Distance", which I will still say to this day is a solid game (and I still need to get back to it after I finish "KINGDOM HEARTS: Birth By Sleep" on the PSP), I also pre-ordered the newest Disney romp and continuation. That being "Epic Mickey 2: The Power Of Two". Now, if you've been following this sequel, you'll know it's not just hitting it's original Wii station, but other systems like the 3DS, the XBOX 360 and the Playstation 3 and so on. I went ahead and took the liberty of pre-ordering it on the Wii and the 3DS. The game looks to be an evolution beyond the original game; as not only do you have the dialogue of the story reappraising itself as a musical rather than a silent cartoon, but you also have your half-brother Oswald the Lucky Rabbit helping Mickey out. However, the 3DS version is a different plan, as the game features a plot that lends itself to old SEGA Genesis classic "Castle of Illusion", where Minnie Mouse gets kidnapped by evil witch Mizrabel, and Mickey must travel about into other worlds (this time Disney worlds) in order to beat the evil witch and rescue Minnie. Both games are set to come out November 18, and if the original "Epic Mickey" is such an amazing romp as it was, these sequel games could be totally overtaking.

And aside from that, I'll get back to you with some more news in a new journal sometime in the new week, as usual.
Anyways, I hope things are going well with everyone else, because they are with me!

==============================================================================================

"ALBUM OF THE WEEK" SECTION:


Artist: The Prodigy
Album: Invaders Must Die
Release Year: 2009

This week's Album of the Week is the most recent album by big beat legends and electro historians The Prodigy. After the lackluster album "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" dropped the group off various labels and didn't do so hot in record sales; five years later, the group made a comeback with not only a new label known as Take Me To The Hospital, but their most recent effort to date (beyond remixes) "Invaders Must Die". The new album took the group back to their roots and infuses a lot more into the group's tunes than ever before. The album delivers a hard-hitting electro edge, while still keeping to the group's true breakbeat stylings. Singles from the album include the title track, "Invaders Must Die", a song that won "Best Single" at the 2009 Kerrang! Awards, "Omen", powerful track, "Warrior's Dance", and a song named coincidentally after the group's label, "Take Me To The Hospital". Other honorable song mentions include "World's On Fire", "Run With The Wolves" (a song the group did with Dave Grohl on drums), and "Colours". With the group set to release new album "How To Steal A Jetfighter" sometime in the future, it's best to look into this album as a starter for what you're truly getting into. Chances are, you won't be disappointed.

===============================================================================================

ART / STORY NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Alrighty, some art and story news comin' down! Well, so far, progress has FINALLY been made on some writing; personally on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" short story that I'm doing for =KomyFly. It's only 5 pages in, but it's set to be a swashbuckling tail (after the next 2-3 pages finish up in the next while). However, you guys won't be peeping at it just yet, as soon as it's finished it's going to be sent straight to Komy, so... yeah; best expect it when it becomes comic form. As for my other works; I've got that "Stitch! Short" to work on, and then the start of long-awaited "Stitch! ~ Crossed Timelines" will finally arrive alongside the start of my original Disney tale, "AQUOS". As for "TREASEARY", no progress has extended beyond uploading the soundtrack, so sooner or later, character material and such will be produced before writing commences. Other than these; I'd say to expect some new writing material soon. However, it might be difficult as I have a 4-day stretch of work in the next few days, so that might hinder progress for a few days. However, it's gonna be steady as it goes, so expect new stuff soon guys!

In addition; I got some collabs I'm doing as well, mainly writing ones at the moment. Some are huge projects of mine; while others I did specifically as collaborative efforts with others. You'll see them in my writing schedule under my side projects. So, anytime you guys wanna try and write a collab together, come at me with an idea and maybe we can try it out? Or maybe you can hit me up for an RP sometime too; I do those as well. Either or; the more the merrier, and I'm always up for a collab; be it art or writing!

Lazy days, huh? Right now I've got my lazy days, doing nothing and such. One week is left of my holidays, then school starts again. But that isn't too bad. Right I've got days, where I simply don't know what to spend my time with (grammar error possibly included). Yes, I've plenty of projects to do, but I simply don't want to work on them and blah. :S
THAT...is pure lazyness. Or not? I'm not quite sure. You know those times, where you don't want to do anything? Got such days now. Before I went on vacation I was quite productive and I hope that motivation will come back soon. For example...tomorrow. :D

Recently I started to play Civilization V again because of the addon Gods and Kings. The diplomacy works better and now you can spy on the other civilizations, which can also be useful for your diplomacy. Specially when you tell somebody of secret war plans, other civilizations have. He he he...making friends in Civ V wasn't so easy yet. XD

Well, kinda. Between work and such; it's not bad. I'm done school, just saving up for college nowadays. Should be a year towards that and then some. Just hoping I can get enough racked up for what I need, especially for what I wanna get into. But yes. ;)

I've already been productive; 5 pages into that Pirates short for my friend, and then once that's done; I'll be soon into that new "Stitch! Short" finally. Feels like forever since I did something "Stitch!" related, and it still feels all up to knowledge to me. :D

Also, very nice... still lazy. XD

Oh, I gotcha. The whole wars and warring strategy for that game. I've mostly been at my KINGDOM HEARTS games. Goin' hard at Birth By Sleep before heading for 3D myself; but yeah.

:iconslushy-fan:
Ah, I see. I've heard colleges in the US are expensive, but I'm not sure how it looks like in Canada. In Germany it's quite different since we have 16 different education systems. In my case...no college tuitions. Hopefully it'll last for the next two years, since I'll probably start studying in two years. ...wait I'm kinda off topic now, ain't I?
So the lazy days are the ones, where you don't have to work and the busy ones where you have to, right?

Really, it feels like forever? Well I consider the post card and the aniversary pics as "Stitch!" related in a way. But it is good to see you being productive at least (which I should be too...wall of lazyness DISSAPEAR!).

Yes...still...watching YouTube all day and such...but just a little bit. XD

Exactly. The strategy developed very well from IV to V. In IV you had those "Stacks of doom", whilst in V you can place only ONE unit on one field, making it more strategic and exciting. :D
Let me guess: Kingdom hearts, because it's Disney related. ^_^
Uhm...but what do you mean with "Birth by Sleep". I didn't get it at all.

=TheDarkOfNight-D Aug 14, 2012  Hobbyist Filmographer
Yeah, it's kinda like that over here; but it's expensive too. Which is why I save for it come September. ;)
Also, not really; that depends on if friends come over or not. That's a deciduous decider there.

Well, in terms of writing something "Stitch!" related. Not making art, that's a usual for me. ;)

Ahh, yes. The tirades of the wonderful YouTube... I know how that feels.

Well, not just that, but it's solid story. ANY day of the week. And... that's the name of one of the games, dude? The PSP iteration of it?
Reply
:iconslushy-fan:
Ah, I see. I wonder why colleges and/or universities have to be expensive. Personally, I rather support no college tuiotions, so both rich and poor people have the same chance to go study something. Would be better for anybody, if you ask me. ^_^
Oh, I see, I see...

In terms of writing, alright! Well then there wasn't much "Stitch!" related lately.

Exactly. Plus always listening to music, walking in my room and keep daydreaming at the same time. Heck, even the story is in my head, but I just won't sit down and write it down! ARGH! Then one hour is over and nothing changed. -.-

Oh, it's one of the games title, ok...*feelings arkward for not knowing that*

Well, I think it's economics of education really, but I figure to save up as much as I can for such a thing. So, yeah!

And yes, there you go! Yeah, last thing I came out with was "Stitch and the Pool" back in October. So, it's dang well time I start writing now rather than later. ;)

One of those I always do (the music thing). It's my concentration medicine, if you get my drift. Haha!

YEAH! SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT KNOWING! Haha, nah, I kid; but yeah, the PSP game's called "KINGDOM HEARTS: Birth By Sleep", to explain. :D
Reply
:iconslushy-fan:
Indeed. It seems to be much easier to come up with ideas, while the fitting music is playing in the background. ^_^

ACK! *breakdown animation* NOOOOOOOooooo...well now I know at least. XD
