Time for the Super Happy Fun Fun Smaz Monthly Update! Well. Okay, so it's not THAT fun, but that's my life for ya.

~Mechanix Gaming Reviews~

Mechanix Gaming has certainly got under way. The first episode was pretty successful and we had people suggesting pointers to improve the show. Episode 2 is now currently out, which reviews Bomberman for the Playstation. I have already completed a fair amount of work on the intros and outros of episodes 3, 4 and 5, right now, and even have recorded and edited all audio clips for them, too, including gameplay clips for episode 4. Right now I'm waiting for Mecha to record the gameplay for episodes 3 and 5, since only he owns the game for those. As soon as those are done, episode 3 and 4 should be uploaded fairly quickly... with 5 shortly proceeding. We have a good first series planned, so stay tuned for more. Here are the links for episode 2:

~Offline life~

You know, just when I think all of my coursework is out of the way, I keep having to go back and correct a minor error, or the teacher wants it at a later date or goodness knows what else. Still, I HAVE finally completed everything, I hope, as from today onwards. That should leave me time to revise for exams, as well as keep moderating Crash Mania in free times, especially since HP will be a bit absent for the next few weeks. The reason is tragic, you should agree, so it's understandable. I shall be putting together some kind of poem or picture for him, soon. Anyhow, I've been trying to think in what to revise for in the upcoming exams. Constantly I keep finding myself coming back to Communications the most. Now it feels as though I'm the strongest in that one, so I should move back to a bit of Film Studies again. Darn theorists. English will be a bit of a nasty one, I think, mainly because of the closed book exam on the Hamlet paper, but enough on exams. Anyhow, if you didn't see my Film Studies Coursework VIDEO the first time around, here it is again:

~Sea of Seals~

I've been trying to keep up with Sea of Seals. Klom (Flamento) recently complained about how far in-between the chapters were upladed, now. It used to be once a week, but recently I've been so caught up in other work, I keep missing my chances to write more. However, I DO want to get to the more decent parts, so have been trying to write as much as I can in recent times, and just uploading them when I finish them instead of waiting until the next week. The third Seal Piece is the most epic part in the story, so far, and I really want to show it off, really. Right now, though, settle for Captain Klom. Yes. You heard. Klom. I turned him into a character, because I needed more pirates in the story. It turns out I liked the character so much, though, that I will be bringing him back later on, making me rewrite part of the story for the better, in fact.

~Prom~

Asides everything online, I've been recently getting ready for my first prom. I've never been to one, before... so I've been suiting myself up and spending a lot to make sure I look good for the occasion. I think I'm missing something, however. Something more. If there are any suggestions on an additional accessory to have asides the suit and usual stuff, do let me know. I need something good that is unique. I'll be going with a college friend of mine called Tamsyn, so hopefully the evening will be cool and all.

~PSP~

One final thing for the journal - PSP. I finally caved in and obtained one, recently, since I couldn't save up enough for a trip to DDL's place in America (my unofficial sister) without her being in education by the time I save up enough. So asides the bit I have saved up for Falmouth University, I spent some on a white PSP and set about Crash Bandicooterizing it. =D I also had the incredible luck to find a Guitaroo Man Lives game, which is not only incredibly rare, but also incredibly good. If you ever find Gitaroo Man for the PS2 or PSP, nab it straight off - it is well worth the purchase. It's a wonderful rhythm game that game before the era of Guitar Hero and the such... in fact, it's probably more inventive with the tunes, to be honest. I also obtained Shin Budokai 2, of course, which I have played a lot on the train journeys to College.

~Crash: Mind Over Mutant~

SOOOO... if you are a Crash fan and have not heard, yet... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Under that rock, again? Those rocks are bad for you. Crash: Mind Over Mutant is shaping up to be a very interesting game and sequel to Crash of the Titans. We have little information right now asides a few nice looking screenshots, on Crash Mania, and the initial leaked press release information on the game, but everything has a that 'step up' feel from the previous game. Apparently Crash will be able to now store Mutants (one at a time) to take where ever you want around the free-roaming Wumpa Island so you can use them whenever you want. Other things that various sites have let us know have been things like some Titans being able to use psychic powers to rearrange platforms to gain to new areas and some fun deserty locations amongst those giant dandelion fields. Oh man, I so want to kick one of those giant dandelions. Anyhow, Crash Mania will have more on this new game's information soon.

~Thank you and goodnight~

I don't have much else to say. Just look out for more written work from me and possibly the odd drawing or two... or manga page! Watch the skis! I mean skies.

Yo, DDL!

That's awesome news, bud! I apologize for not being online recently, as of late; Smokey has been constantly using the computer at home and I've been using the college computers as a means to quickly upload some of my recent work that I've done for College and such. I bet I have a truckload of E-Mails.

I've been missing you, too. =3 I hope we can talk more soon!

Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm doing good, thanks. Just been busy with media projects and stuff, which is why I haven't been on Crash Mania much, recently. And, of course, I work for pretty much all of the weekend.
