1- Beowulf = fucking great movie. If in high school you got the opportunity to read the Beowulf story, well this is it, only 18385% better. I read Dave Jaffe's (God of War original game director) blog and he is right, the movie uses elements of games such as God of War and Shadow of the Colossus. As a matter of fact that same weekend I watched the movie, I did fought against a boss in Shadow of the Colossus taht was a dragon look alike. The sequence was very similar, and the attack sequence something straight out of God of War. Its funny, games took inspiration form movies, now is backwards. If you have palyed this games before and you get to watch the movies...you will be surprised how similiar it is, for the rest of the public, you will think its groundbreaking, still good 3D, more interesting in story telling but not groundbreaking. Watch it in theaters, fuck pirated DVDs (this pirate theme motivated me to write an extra entry today).
2- Recorded vocals for La Virgen del Pozo (thrash band)= I recorded vovals for 3 songs of the band. It went pretty smooth there was like 10 people on the studio so it was kind of distracting and at a not so concentrated situation but it worked out. I liked the dynamic how everyone contributed and were into it, now I have 3 more songs left..I just need to write the lyrics.... again.
3- Item farming in Castlevania: Symphony of the night = Many people have played this game and just finished it, guess what?, I did that same thing months ago too. But thanks to my friend Jolge, I did enjoy the game 200% more. Why? He taught me the art of hunting for items all over the castle. It takes time, but the rewards is rather fun, actually I had more fun hunting for items than progressing into the game. Last night I finished the game without any efforts, since I had these amazing weapons that made the last boss Dracula a piece of cake. Now I can replay the game as 2 other characters or just continue using Alucard and keep hunting for more items, that will be interesting.
4- Back to Skate = Jolge had this urge to buy a skateboard, so I wnt with him to a store to help him get the right one, and he bought it. I think this is just amazing since I was gettig back into it too, but was losing hope in it recently, until now. I will get a skateboard preferably old school and start rip and shredding along wtih Jolge on the streets...of a neighborhood. Actually I was so motivated that when Jolge and I were talking in Messenger we did skateboarding art work, here was my best piece:
It shows me skate jumping into an abyss with a two hand Chaos Hammer about to Mortal Strike a Demon straight out of the gates of hell who kidnapped my girlfriend.... Beat that trick noob.
That is why this post is entitled Reviving the nostalgia element, I feel like I am back to middle school all over again, with a band, video games and skating, of course watching epic movies too. I love it, cause I am reliving one of the things I love in my life along with responsabilities as an "adult".
Well I guess thats pretty much it, besides an earthquake that happen yesterday and a reunion in Leo Burnett (which is an agency I sent a hateful email months ago). Keep posing.
