Watching ActionCorp TV wither and die on the vine was depressing.  Chris, Sean and I have pipe dreamed a resurrection, with various combinations of us involved at different times, but scheduling always made it too tough.  (I’m looking at you, Icy)

However, at some point a few months ago, over a few lunches, (thank you, Mandarin House) Chris and I discussed how much we prefer co-operative gaming over most deathmatch stuff.  Now, to be fair, I personally like both, but Chris is more of an e-Pacifist, so when he and I play, it generally is one where we work together, not against one another.

So, with the help of an HD video recorder, Skype for iPhone, and Chris’ editing skills, we created “The Co-op Mode”, a webcast specifically to highlight co-op play in our favorite games.  It’s not a review show, it’s just showing off gameplay and how we interact.  It’s closer to a ‘slice of life’ for the game’s multiplayer features.

You can watch all our episodes at:  www.thecoopmode.com

I’ve attached our most recent show below.

Are there games you’d like to see?  Any constructive critique?  Please leave a comment for me!

I still don’t have that much interesting stuff to write. 

I’m posting a link to an interview done with Lewis and Theresa by RogueCinema.com.  They were asked about the movie “victimEYES”.  There’s some stuff in there even I hadn’t heard before, so I thought it was a good read.  RogueCinema is also the group that wrote that review of “victimEYES” on its IMDb page.

This weekend, we shot in sub-freezing temperatures in the woods for Marx Pyle’s new film, “Silence of the Belle”.  It was fun but COLD!

Christmas was fun, New Years was fun.  My brother Garth was in town and it was good to hang out with him for a while.

Cousin Damon and newly dubbed “Cousin” Meredith were in for the holidays, too.  We’re now in discussions for a trip to the left coast to visit.

Angie, the kids and I went to Nashville for a baby vacation.  It was really nice to get out of town and just wander around a different place for a while.

I suppose I had more than I thought.  Happy New Year!

I read somewhere that people are beginning to call the NBC show “Community” to the new “30 Rock”.  I may agree.  The end of the show is always some very strange vignette, usually completely unrelated to the show’s plot, but just a peek into the lives of the characters.  This one was probably my favorite.

Looks like another video game movie.  Will it be a “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” or a “Super Mario Bros.”?  Only time will tell, but with interesting source material and Disney dollars behind it, it’s already got a leg up on most.  What do you think?

That’s right.  On Wednesday, October 28th, it went from one acting project to two.

I’m really excited about the upcoming premiere for the movie next weekend.  I don’t know exactly how much I’ve talked about it on my site, so here goes.  It’s called “victimEYES” and is about a serial killer who is caught halfway through his last kill, and is only able to blind the girl.  Months later, after escaping from custody, he comes back for her.  It’s a thriller with a TINY bit of violence, but mostly just suspenseful tension stuff.

It’s an independent, ZERO-budget film that we made to have fun.  We HAVEN’T bought our tickets for the Oscars, we’re NOT preparing our acceptance speeches for the Golden Globes, but we did have a blast going through the process of making a movie from beginning to end.

I play Jason Karnes, the killer.  It was directed by Lewis Chaney, a former news photographer and now assignment editor for my station.  We shot it around 3-4 years ago, but he’s just now finished up editing, and we’ve done a bit of marketing (posters, DVDs, etc) and arranged a premiere at the Henderson Fine Arts Center in Henderson, KY. 

I’ve embedded the most recent trailer below.

Anyone ever used Google AdSense?  I’ve never tried it before, but thought I’d give them a small window on my site to begin earning my fortune.  I’m sure with the high volume traffic I get on here right now, I’ll be able to quit my job next week or so.

I’ve been away from the site recently.  No real reason in particular, but my rehearsals for the Civic Theatre show I just got done with didn’t help.  Games have been relatively slow recently, which is nice.  It’s been great bleeding more fun out of Halo 3.  Darren picked it up within the last six weeks or so, and we’ve been playing a lot of it.  He’s gotten where he’s able to hold his own pretty quickly, and can take me out in some interesting ways now, including this beauty below.  I’m the purple guy.  He’s off-camera with a rocket launcher.

I’ll be posting more in the next day or so about the movie premiere of “victimEYES” coming up in Henderson.  Until then, just visit www.victimeyesmovie.com.

Please stay through the end. It’s worth it… trust me. Darren shared this with me, and I’d be selfish not to pay it forward.

EDIT: Apparently the one with lyrics on-screen has been disabled from running embedded, so this is the same video, minus the subtitles.

These clips are awesome. I spent some time on YouTube watching several of them, but this one ended up being my favorite. They’re called “Autotune the News”.
