News on the New Computer

After doing a few comparisons on other computers, I have finally found and bought my new computer, and a brand new editing software. However, I won't be able to use the new computer until I have my data from the old one transferred to the new one. The new editing software will be shipped to me in a few days. Until then, adios.

Don Bluth's Jawbreaker

Anyone who grew up during the 80s and 90s knows about the films directed by Don Bluth, like Secret of Nimh, Land Before Time, and All Dogs Go To Heaven, or some of the games he directed as well, like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Even so, we knew that the majority of his films from the 90s were disappointingly bad or mediocre in general. However, while browsing YouTube, I came across a really bizarre piece of animation from Don Bluth that was never released. And if you watch it, you will know why.

This was pretty much the biggest tripout I have ever witnessed. Only problem: I'M NOT EVEN ON ANY DRUGS! I have absolutely NO IDEA what Bluth was thinking when he made this. It's pretty much the biggest acid trip I have ever seen. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY CLUE ON WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!!!

Top 11 Villian Songs review

I LOVE watching the reviews of the Nostalgia Critic. He is funny as hell, but proves a point with some of the bad movies he reviews. And just recently, he made a Top 11 list of Villain songs. Here's the link: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/17640-top-11-villain-songs NOTE: The video has crude humor and language, viewer discretion advised.

Now my pros and cons:

Pros:
-Like some of the choices, such as "Mr. Grinch" and "Poor Unfortunate Souls", as well as a great idea of putting the new villain song from Princess and the Frog.

-His choice for #1 was a good choice too. It was a wonderfully dark song to choose, especially from a Disney film!

-Some of the songs he mentioned I had used in some of my Halloween Music Vids, so it was nice to get his opinion of the songs themselves. You can find them on my YouTube profile: http://youtube.com/f1315nj

Cons:
-Some of the songs I didn't like, such as "In the Dark of the Night" from Anastasia (for it's stupid choice of characters), "Shiver My Timbers" from Muppet Treasure Island (mostly because it wasn't a villain song, but he never saw the film so that's a bit of a mistake on his behalf), and the choice of an introductory song, which wasn't bad but was just mediocre. He should've used something like "Such Horrible Things" by Creature Feature.

-He had mistaken the actors who sang in Lion King and Anastasia. In the Lion King, Jeremy Irons did sing in "Be Prepared" up until he lost his voice near the end, so Jim Cummings had to sing the rest for him. In Anastasia, Jim Cummings sang for Christopher Lloyd's character throughout the entire song. And if you ever read Jim Cumming's profile on iMDb, he's been pretty busy throughout his career!

So that's all I can say about it. It wasn't what I had hoped, but it was still pretty decent. And, of course, it was hilarious. You can watch his reviews and other sketches, as well as reviews from other people, at http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/ Until next time, keep on rocking!

One Winged Angel Halloween Music Video

Well, I have been neglecting news and information about this Halloween Music Vid, but now I have the chance. If you never heard about this or don't remember, I had made a sneak preview of my upcoming HMV, using the song "One Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy: Advent Children. However, with other HMVs in the works, as well as school work, I have only been able to work up to at least 80% of the video. You may ask me, "Well, what's left then, you lazy schmuck?" Animation. I plan to put in some animated bits of my own using Garry's Mod. However when I used FRAPS to record it, it was a bit jumpy and shoddy. In other words, it was CRAP. I believed the main reason was because I needed more memory and hard drive space, and possibly a new video card. This is where the new computer comes in. So until further notice, I will be working on school work while trying to get a new computer.

P.S. Here's the preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fpdZZfs0Ig

Good News and Bad News

Good News: I was able to get a new external hard drive to store a majority of my stuff from my old computer. It's about 500 GB, with over 400 GB left in free space (Yeah, I have a lot of crap on my computer :P).

Bad News: I have been looking at new computers on Dell, which are less expensive than HP or Gateway. I was able to customize the computer I wanted, with certain specifications such as hard drive space, good amount of memory, etc. However, it is really expensive and I wouldn't be able to receive it until the beginning of April. Yeah, that's just brilliant >:[

So, that's about it. I've been trying my best, and with college in the way, it's going to be a while. Until then, I'll see what I can do for any upcoming HMVs.

Disneydaniel93's Birthday

Me again with another update. My associate, subscriber, and friend, Disneydaniel93, has a birthday is coming up in April. You may not know him, but you may remember his original channel name, Brerdaniel. Anyway, his birthday is coming up, and I promised him a HMV as a brithday gift from me. I will not say what song I will use, I prefer it to be a surprise to all. I'm still dealing with my old computer and schoolwork, so I'll do what I can.

Hiatus of Halloween Music Vids

Hello, this is F1315NJ. If you visit my YouTube channel, then you'll know that I haven't posted any new Halloween Music Vids since Halloween. And I have two reasons as to why I haven't made anything.

1. Schoolwork. I have been busy with the Fall semester of college, and I am currently busy with the Spring semester. My study work and homework are higher priorities opposed to making my little HMVs. I try to edit a few once in a while, but with school work, I don't have the time.

2. Computer problems. My computer is pretty much close to being obsolete. I'm low on hard drive space to store the videos and songs, and even though I have a 1 GB memory, it's not enough. However, I will try to get a new computer with higher capabilities for future HMVs.

So, that's all for now. I'll try to work on future HMVs. I have a few songs I had in mind to use, but I would rather keep it a surprise to you all, especially my subcribers.
