Brandon's
Blog, Supplemental:
I
won't get Orcs in SPACE! 2 done by Monday, but it will be
darned close. I had something
else take my attention at work.
I'll have many great screenshots
for you though. Just letting you
know so you won't be disappointed
come Monday :P
And
yes, that was a geeky Next Generation
reference.

Happy
Monday! I’ve started work
on Orcs in SPACE! 2.
Yes, I know. And I don’t
care. MWAHAHA! My goal is to get
it done by the end of the week,
but we will see what happens.
Here are teaser screenshots from
the first scene:
WeGame
is hosting its very first contest!
The contest is called “Diggnation
Best Kill”. To compete,
upload a video of your “funniest
kill” from a video game,
post it to the group “Diggnation
Best Kill”, and the
one that gets the most “likes”
wins. There are 14 prizes, the
grand prize being an Alienware
laptop, second place prizes being
iPod Nanos and third place prizes
being $50 gift certificates to
ThinkGeek.
Read the full details here.
While not technically
a machinima contest, it will give
you a chance to exercise your
machinima-making skills. We hope
to host a purely machinima contest
sometime in the future.
Nathan
has been kind enough to send me
the movie scores for all the movies
he has scored for me. You can
now listen to them in the mp3
player below. Here are their individual
links:
Thanks to everyone
who “dugg” Inventing
Swear Words 4! It didn’t
get to the front page of Digg,
but it got pretty close—to
the third page, I believe. If
you haven’t dugg it yet,
you can digg it here.
If you haven’t seen it yet,
you can watch it here
and the trailer here.
Due to numerous requests, I have
released the two major songs in
the movie as music videos, which
you can watch here:
Also due to requests,
I uploaded an mp3 of Hat singing
“If you wanna be happy for
the rest of your life” to
the mp3 player below. You can
also listen to it here.
Join the Official
Oxhorn Brand Movies Group on
WeGame to leave me a message and
see all my movies!
You can also join
the Official
Hat Fan Club on WeGame, if
you think Hat is just too cute
for words. I don’t think
so, and Hat certainly doesn’t
(he thinks he is rather manly
and awesome) but that doesn’t
stop people from thinking he is
cute, for some reason.
We made a short
machinima movie for Diggnation
featuring Kevin Rose and Alex
Albrecht, which you can watch
here:
And here is our
Weekly Video Review 04 (I got
Jeff SO good this time, hehe):
The Games
section of the website has been
updated. I’d give my web
designer a big shout-out here,
but he wanted to remain anonymous.
Well, thanks anyhow O Mighty Web
Designer! Ye doth rock-eth!
I’ve released
a new store design! I thought
I’d get more done, but I’ve
been darned busy. You can see
it here in my store:
If you have any
cool ideas for store designs,
let me know on my forums.
That’s it
for this week! See you Monday
with, if everything goes according
to plan, a new movie. Here are
this week’s blog highlights:
Oh,
one last thing: I’m not checking
my YouTube comments anymore. Sorry
guys, I really tried to be the guy
who responded to all his fans, but
I just can’t anymore. I sort
of stopped checking while working
on ISW4, and now my inbox has 140
unread messages. YouTube only lets
you answer ten at a time before
you have to wait 30 minutes to respond
to any more so… yeah, I’m
done. You can always chat with me
on my forums :)

Inventing
Swear Words 4 is released! You can
watch the full movie here:
If you like the movie, please "digg
it" for me by following this
link and clicking "digg it":
I have also released a short trailer
for the movie which is fun in its
own right:
Stop by the forums
and let me know what you thought of
the movie! I tried to get it done
in time for Valentine's Day, but I
decided to wait until today so that
I could release a more polished version.
It took me three weeks to make this
movie. I thought it would take me
a shorter time, since I am now making
machinima full-time, but I guess three
weeks is what it took. This was a
complicated movie though, and I hope
to make shorter, less complex movies
like my Short SHORTS! coming
up here soon.
I'll have new items for the shop
themed after ISW4 next week. I'm taking
suggestions! Let me know in the forums
if you have a good idea for a new
shop design.
Nathan Allen Pinard has sent me the
complete background scores for my
the movies he has composed music for,
and you can now listen to them from
my mp3 player. Thanks Nathan!
Lastly, here is last week's version
of WeGame's Video Review:
02.11.08
I'm hoping
to release ISW4 on Valentines Day--this
Thursday. That is my goal, and I am
making great progress. If I don't make
it by Thursday, well, it will at least
be done soon!
Here are some sample screenshots from
the three scenes I've finished this
week:
WeGame.com
has begun producing weekly reviews of
the content submitted to the site. I and
my coworker Gorndt have been hosting them.
Check out the last two episodes here:
I'm hoping
to make some changes to the site in the
coming weeks, including a new, better forum
and (finally) finishing the Games and About
Me sections. In the meantime, chat with
the community on my current
forums, watch my previous three Inventing
Swear Words movies in preparation for
Thursday, check out WeGame.com,
browse the shop
and I'll see you soon!

Happy Monday! I've been working
hard on Inventing Swear Words 4. Here are
three teaser screenshots. Never mind the
green X's, they wont be there in the finished
version.
Last week I released a little
movie chronicling my move from Seattle
to San Francisco. You can watch it here:
I've received many messages
of concern from fans since I announced
my move who are worried that Staghorn
won't be in any of my movies anymore,
since Mark, my friend who does Stag's
voice, lives in Seattle. Let me assuage
such concerns! I recorded all the vocals
for ISW4 with Mark before I moved down,
and for all future movies, well, I guess
I'll just have to fly him down here! And
yes, Mort will be in them to, because
I do Mort and Ox's voices.
That's it for now! Time
to dive back into ISW4.
