Randomness!!!!!

Lol. Random.

How about you? ;D

Avengers anticipation

I want to see The Avengers as much as I want to see The Hunger Games and The Hobbit! XD
So much to look forward to this year!

....in other news, I posted about The Avengers on my review of Thor over at decentmoviesrus, where I'll also post my new backgrounds I've been playing with on this page to.

 What do you guys think about these new movies?
Please comment!

World of War Planes and Star Conflict (Games)

Ever since I started playing the high-quality-and-free MMO "World of Tanks" I've been hoping for a flight simulator of similar caliber. With that said, the makers of World of Tanks are currently a long ways into making "World of Warplanes" - a game similar in style to WoT, but in the air.

It's a game I highly anticipate. Which brings me to the whole genre of flight and space combat simulators, this other game being Star Conflict, it also is only in the Alpha testing stages but some years ago I once had a downloadable (no online play) game called "Space Interceptor", and it still is my favorite space flight simulator to this date, so I sure hope Star Conflict sizes up. It is nothing compared to WoWP though.

Here are some promotional items from the game.

Edit to last post (Photo Summary)

This is an edit for my last entry, "Photo Summary of my Week". I didn't get photos of where I work that week, so I did yesterday, and here they are. I work only 6 to 9 hours a week for a friend who makes Micro-Tools. I'm in the cleaning, packaging, and labeling "department", lol.
On this day we did just about everything that I usually do there, in one day, so it was nice for a photoshoot.

Labeling 

So many.... 

Inspection for particulate matter inside of the aluminum handles that the tools go on to (in the background you can see the drill I use to test the threads).

Removal of particulate matter. *evil laugh* 

 Random slightly creepy photo. XD

Hi! lol

What do you guys all do for jobs here and there?
Hope you liked the pics, I would be glad to know your opinions on the angles! :-D

Photo Summary of my Week

12/26/11 through 12/30/11
Well, there isn't much (this wasn't the most photographically exciting week), but here's what I have.

I'm a quality freak, so the first two are screenshots, which gives a better veiw as to what I was doing on the computer than does a picture of the screen. lol. Descriptions are below.

On Monday I wrote three movie reviews (Sherlock 2, Happy Feet 2, Tron) for my DecentMovies blog. Considering it takes me a week to usually write one this is an accomplishment for me. I also started a fourth (Prince of Persia) on Thursday, but didn't finish.

On Tuesday I went to work, and not much else, but I did play World of Tanks on the computer. I didn't do to bad, either, hehe.

-

On Wednesday I went to work again. I was going to have some pictures from it, but I forgot the camera (I'll add pictures in the next post) - and on Thursday I made supper, but the morning consisted of editing Wednesday's pictures as well as some cow-roping pics, so I will post all 5 in a row for Wed. and Thurs.

These first ones I thought pretty cool and were taken of the gas-range fire early in the morning while it was still dark out. I call them the "Light Side and Dark Side Ranges". Haha.

Light Side

Dark Side.
To make them red I just used the color-changer option in PSP X4. Obviously they are heavily edited.

 These two are much better in my opinion, the noise-removal actually worked on them - for some reason it didn't work on the last set. I love the reflections down at the bottom left!

I'm having trouble editing these cow-roping pics. The sky is so bright in a lot of them that I can't edit it all out. They look cool still though. :-) You'll see these sometime soon on my photography page when I'm done with them. 

-

Friday. Friday we were going to go to the beach - but didn't. So I edited the above fire photo in an even better quality way below, and took a picture of some grass (then edited it like crazy). I also edited a picture of a small girl I know (I had just found this plug-in for PSP X4U that a bunch of cool options).

The contrast is much better, and the green is a nice change from all the red and blue, lol.

^This program has an awesome Old Photo option! It looks like an 1850's photo! Though you could get me on the fact that the red cross wasn't formed until 1863...lol. I tried this on other photos, but none of them even came close to how cool this one is.

 This is close to how it started. ^

and this is an edit in the middle of two better edits....however, you'll just have to wait till I post them all on my Photography Blog this next week or so before you can see them all. ;-D

I love the semi-greyscale of the 2nd photo. It gives this subtle movie-style feel to it and I am playing with a better version of it, with blacker black and clearer leaves - so it'll look cool!

Anyway, that was basically my week, and I'd love to know what you think about my first Photo Summary! Should I have posted more photos per day/photo shoot? Should I have described my days more? Should I do this again some time?

Photo Summary and Movies

Okay, so Amy has reminded me that I was thinking about doing a summary of my week in photos. This is hard for me since I only grab the camera when we go on trips and such (thus the lack of close-up every day objects). I shall try it, however, and see how many events this week are photo-worthy (I'm sorry though Amy, brushing one's teeth would not be one of them. ;-D).
'Tis an experiment.

Anyway, in other news we went to the drive-in theater yesterday and watched both Happy Feet 2 and the new Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows (in 40 degree weather!). I will have to write some entries on those, but in the meantime I posted a review on the movie Tron: Legacy on the rating blog I co-operate. You can find it here: http://decentmoviesrus.blogspot.com/2011/12/tron-legacy.html
