Why I named it loving metal.

If you guys are wondering why I named my blog that, it's because I really love metal.  To me, it's the only genre that actually puts energy into a crowd.  Metal concerts tend to have a lot of awesome effects and I would know, I've been to one before (Metallica to be exact) and it was AWESOME!!!  I wish they would come to Buffalo more often but they haven't since then.  All I really listen to is metal.  Other genres bore me or make my ears bleed (country and rap...ewwwww).  But, I guess it all depends on your personal opinion on the matter.  But what really makes me mad is when someone says that metal takes no talent to play.  Obviously, it does take talent because without it, how do these bands like Metallica, Slayer, Annihilator, Volbeat, etc. get as popular and famous as they have.  Because they had talent at what they did.  I mean, me and a few friends are influenced by these great bands.  We started a band ourselves and personally, I think we sound pretty good.  If your wondering, I play the drums and for someone to say that it takes no talent to play metal, they've obviously never tried before themselves.

Funny part in scary game...is that possible?

If this doesn't make you laugh than what's the point in even watching the video.  I decided that I would post two videos of the scariest game ever made this week for your viewing pleasure. This part of his video game walk through is very funny.  Have to watch to see what I mean.

SCARY GAME IS SCARY 0.0

This game is REALLY scary.  It's actually been called the scariest game ever made and it is understandable why it's considered so.  However, if your not the one playing it, then it's more funny than scary because watching other peoples reactions is hilarious.  Check this video out this guy pretty funny.

Week 3 of Animation

Is it just me or do these weeks seem to fly by at a very fast speed?  Well, it looks like this year is going to go by very fast.  I learned quite a few things this week.  Flash seemed very complicated at first but after being given the tutorials it made it a lot more understandable and fun.  What I personally would like to learn in the future is how to make two to three minute long videos.  I just think that would be so much fun especially if the video comes out very well.  On that note, math really bugs me.  I doubt I'm the only one in the class, but I find math to be very tough and confusing and also, kind of useless at times.  I mean, some of the stuff we have to learn in math is ridiculous.  Are we ever going to actually need half the stuff we learn in math?  I personally don't think so.  Which is the main reason I decided to switch from algebra two/trig to the applied course because I suck at math.  But even though I won't be switched over into the class until Monday, I know that I'm going to have an easier time once I do switch.  But aside from school, what I thought was probably going to be the game of the week turned out to be more than that.  The 2-0 Bills took on the 2-0 Patriots at home and were down 21-10 going into the half.  Just another Bills vs. Patriots game again I thought. But than the Bills came back and surprisingly won over the Patriots!  Needless to say I was very happy.  But now they take on a 1-2 Bengals team who has one of the best defenses in the NFL right now.  I hope our defense can come through this game, we're probably going to need them to even though our offense is just about ranked first in the league.  Keep your fingers crossed for a great 4-0 start from our Buffalo Bills.  I hope they win, after all, they beat the Patriots.  If you beat the Patriots, you can just about beat any team out there.  In my time as an avid Bills fan, I've never once witnessed them in a playoff game.  Maybe, just maybe, this is the year.

What I learned this week!

This being my first week at Boces, I wasn't expecting to learn a lot.  Heck, I wasn't even expecting that I would even get into the animation course at all.  But I digress.  Me and my classmates learned how to utilize adobe illustrator and we were also taught how to scan this week.  But I wonder how fun it would be to be able to create a moving character on the computer that I can call my own.  However, one thing that frustrated me this week was probably the vast amount of papers I had to sign including the fact that I got into Boces late which warranted me having to try and catch up with the class.  Hopefully, the rest of the year isn't as hectic as this week was.  On that note, I shouldn't be Mr. Gloom and Doom about little things like that, this week wasn't that bad.  Hey, I got in did't I?  I didn't think I was going to even make it to Boces.  But at least I'm here.  Plus the Buffalo Bills won their first game of the season with a strong 1-0 start beating the Kansas City Chiefs 41-7.  I'm just wondering why they can't play like that all the time!
