Making The Theory

In a bout of nostalgia, I have uploaded an ever-so-slightly earlier cut of Making The Theory, a documentary included with the ill-fated Video Game Theory, Volume One archive dvd(it shames me to admit that this mp4 version is actually higher quality than the final dvd version). I figured I would give it away online for free just in case someone gets curious. Eventually, whenever I can find a good way to do so, I will upload the entire archive of Video Game Theory episodes as well for the illusion of posterity.

I am not fooling myself. I know, in the grand scheme of things, this entire post is moot, minute, absolutely meaningless to the rest of the world…But it’s important to me. I want people to know where I got my start. I want people to laugh at the ridiculousness of a group of naive kids surrounding a shitty mic, talking out of their asses. For almost two years, Video Game Theory was my life. I take full responsibility for not giving the show it’s due, but I am proud of what I, what we – Dillon, Josh, and Addison – accomplished with no experience, no budget, and absolutely shite equipment. It was a tremendous learning experience.

I only wish the guys would drop by and say a few words.

Between Physical Science, US History, Intro to Philosophy, Creative Writing, and, well, WORK, I am finding myself to be rather busy as hell. Even as I type, I am listening to a lecture from my Philosophy instructor, which makes typing kind of tricky, ironically enough. We’ve had a few film group meetings so far this semester, and it seems as though everyone will be working on some rather interesting projects. My own project, “The Wynter Project”, is currently on the back burner, but we will get to it as other films are completed, so that’s cool. Goodness knows I could use the time to finish up the script.

Just a quick update on my landlady: she’s still a bitch.

There is a small possibility of an experimental fake news podcast, depending on whether or not my employers(the college) approve of it or not. I honestly don’t know what to think about this. Working for the college has proven to me, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that I HATE Bureaucracy and Political Correctness. These elements of our fucked up society are both dehumanizing and decidedly bland, and when I found my studio for real, these will have no place in my business. I would very much like to follow the early Atari methodology, in that the employees work hard because they love the work, not because they’re being forced to do it. Fuck 9-5, fuck suits and ties, as long as you make multimedia magic, as long as you maintain respect for the studio and for the contracts, you are your own boss.

Well, anyway, it’s a nice dream, a nice change from the sterility of my current phase of life.

As you can no doubt tell, I’ve had a slow night and, thus, have been sprucing up the place a bit, though not with 100 percent success. This new theme(Pixel) is pretty nifty, although I think it needs a few tweaks. I also went through and pruned all the spambots from the forum, updated the forum software, and am in the process of installing new themes.

Well, no new content to post, as of yet, but we’ll see what happens on that front…

Vanilla, in retrospect, wasn’t such a hot choice for a new forum. So now we’re back on PHPBB, this time running the long awaited version 3. I gotta say, I like it so far. Clean, simple, nice options, and it came with a nifty converter to import all the old data from our previous phpbb2 install. Very nice. So now the forum is back, more or less as it was in August 2006. The Vanilla forum is still online, of course, but it will undoubtedly be pulled eventually..

Go ahead, check it out, post, tell your friends, spread the word. Let’s rebuild the community like it once was, okay?

Call it an experiment. Let us see how far it goes, shall we?

The DVD is finally available for purchase! For more info, visit dvd.vgtheory.com.

I have the proof on my desk. I have played it in my PS2. It’s here, it works, and it looks great!
*Sorry for the low quality pictures; blame crappy software and Dillon’s webcam for that.*

I received a confirmation email from CreateSpace.com telling me to expect a proof copy of the DVD in the mail within the next few business days. With a little luck, i’ll have my grubby little mitts on an exact replica of what will be sold on the CreateSpace eStore by Friday. The proof copy is essentially made so I can check it out personally, examine the artwork, and generally ensure that everything is as it should be. If there are no major problems requiring the order of another proof copy, then we should be right on track for the DVD’s debut on 10/15/07.

It’s been a great ride, guys, but now, I think the ride is just about over. This is our hat tip to you, the listeners. Do feel free to tip your hats back at us by buying a copy or two, of course.
