Preview of Deceit: Episode 1

Hey guys,

Thought you might want to see a small preview of Deceit: Episode 1. As you can clearly tell, I am torn between naming my episodes (which will make recognizing them a lot easier) and just numbering them (which will save me time, but will also make them seem more bland (and, guys, bland, it's such a crappy word, right? Who wants that?)).

Either way here you go. It's not the main part (though that would help you understand it a lot better) but I want to keep the main part to myself. This is just a tiny snippit of the script. Well, several tiny pieces. And just for fun, I've assorted them randomly. Here goes:



Allen: Tanner, you there?

Kent: Yeah, I’m here. Shocker, huh? What with all the places I have to go and all the people I have to see. Hey, from the report I gave you a week ago, was that evidence enough to convict these guys?

Allen: Yep, even the U.N. General, thought that espionage, sabotage, grand theft auto, and illegal weapon possession was enough crime to convict someone, even on Tyche.

Kent: Really?

Allen: Well, actually, it was the tax fraud that really made up the general’s mind.




Kent: I pay attention to detail…And I like to eavesdrop on conversations. Did you know that Bungie is making some stupid game about some super soldier fighting off aliens, and stopping some shit with “Halo’s”?

Martelli: Christ, those guys over at Bungie come up with the lamest ideas, they’re such morons. Like that idea’d ever make money.

Allen: Girls, if you’re done with your tea party, then would you mind if we could get back on task…?




Kent: Well, the armor looks durable.

Allen: You’ll get new armor as well, except yours will be of a different design.

Kent: How ‘bout their weapons training? How’s that?

Allen: Tanner, I’m insulted that you even have to ask.

Kent: Then I’m doing my job right.

Allen: Top notch, these are my best men.

Kent: Other than me, though, right?

Allen: See, now if I say yes, you’ll want a pay raise

Kent: I get paid for this job too? Whoa, I thought all I got was essentials money.

Allen: That is all you get.

Kent: So who was the best guy you had again?



So, yes, sorry, no action parts but they look like crap on paper - er, type. You'll like them a lot better actually seeing them. And as you've probably gathered, Kent Tanner and James Allen are the main characters in the story. And if you think some parts are a little jumpy, it's because you have to read the whole thing.
Which I will be granting on request to people I like. Also, spread the news. I'm dying here. I haven't gotten mail from a fan in weeks!

Thanks,

360 Good to Go

Hey guys,

Good news. I was able to fix my 360, and I bought a new Rock band 2 disc (Microsoft wouldn't replace it). I've also picked out the capture card I want, and will be able to buy it by the end of next week, minimum. I also have picked out my computer mic.

However, I'm going to delay production for another month or so. I mean, with the new map pack coming out, why should I start a series where I'll be using the same sets repeatedly when the new map pack might have the perfect maps for my machinima. Disappointing, yet good at the same time! Of course, it'll either make all my hard work make me feel like crap or it'll make me regret waiting to make the machinima after the map pack came out, despite my intuition that it'd have the perfect maps.

Not quite sure how things'll work out, but I can assure you that after I check out the new map pack, I'll have a colorful response to it posted right here!

-Thanks,
Fantom

Three Month Min. Break

Hey guys,

Bad news in Fantomville. I got Rock Band 2, and the second I put it in, my 360 breaks! Something inside of it cracked somehow, and I took the Rock Band disc out, and there was a circular scratch on it. I put in some blank discs and the reaction was the same. So now I have to send my 360 in, and see if Microsoft will also replace my Rock Band disc. And for those of you who had received red rings or other maladies, you'll know how hard it is to get Microsoft to be honest with you.

Thanks

Feel Free to Contact Me

Hey guys,

Since I haven't really been doing that much lately, I haven't really needed to make any new blog posts. But, since I realize some of you like to read these posts, I've decided to make posts about nothing. Then I realized what a stupid idea that was, and rejected it. So, I decided to make posts almost about nothing, but with something slipped in.

In this one, it's my request for people to send me feedback. I want to hear from you guys! Do you want a preview of a script? Do you want to know more about a certain project? Do you have any ideas for new projects? I don't know, because nobody really talks to me.

So send me an e-mail, whether you're asking me to show a preview of a script, showing me a good idea, or even just saying "hi", that'd be great. The only reason I'm asking this is because I don't have a large amount of fans, so I wouldn't have to deal with a large burden of mails.

Oh, and Happy Holidays!

Poll Title Now Readable

Hey, guys.

I realized that when I made the main blog title readable, it accidentally made the poll title unreadable. So, clearly, I fixed both of them, so you can now read the blog title and the question of the poll. Which, incidentally is "What Machinima Project are you Looking Foward to More?" I'm not going to lie to you guys, I enjoy writing for Deceit the most. I gotta say though, that John Blaze, Accounting (or as the poll reads "Master Chief, Accouting) is the easiest one to make, just because it is so simplistic. It has no real words in it, just yelling and it has minimal characters.

Thanks

Counter

Hey, guys.

I actually got the counter! I had been trying to get one on the blogger gadget site, but the only ones that they had either didn't work or weren't hit counters. It was mainly population counters. So I went to another site, Easy Hit Counters. I highly suggest them. They had tons of options, and I was able to find the counter section, find the counter I wanted, get the counter, and paste it into my blog in about 20 seconds. It would probably take you a shorter amount of time, I just had no idea where to paste the counter info things.

Thanks

Blog Title Fixed

Hey guys. Well, for those of you who look at this blog, you'll notice that I've fixed the blog title color. It had been originally white, thes same color as the picture's backround, so you couldn't see the title. It had merely blended in. But now, I changed the title color to...maroon...or crimson...or whatever color it is.

That's all
