Video blogging is for attention whores.

Oh, I will have fun with this.

Asher Roth? Pfft.

Tell Roth I don’t love college, cause I’m not going there, cause I’m not retarded.

Instead, I run shit, like so:

I Love (John) Fraser - 2010 Graduating Class MUSIC VIDEO from Anthony Suen on Vimeo.

The Witness says it well, I am the next Tarantino.

In all seriousness, this song was something I came up with randomly during a conversation with a friend. At that time, I had realized Asher Roth’s I Love College was very easy to adapt into one’s own lyrics. That also made me realize how simple and kind of stupid the song is, which is why its so often played.

Two hours later I had lyrics down. Due to sheer boredom, somewhere along the way I decided to take the instrumental track from I Love College, use my headset microphone I use for yelling at people in games, and load up Adobe Soundbooth, which I had never used before.

But because I’m so pro, I used it anyways. Three more hours later, I had the first recording of I Love Fraser down.

It wasn’t up until a month later that it struck me that I could take advantage of the equipment in CommTech and make a higher quality recording and have the ability to edit and compile more thoroughly.

Instead, my teacher told me to go into the back room with an iMac, and use the built in microphones. Which ended up not being that bad, since the back room has almost no ambience and the iMac microphones are pretty good quality. At the beginning of May, I had finished the final copy of I Love Fraser.

The idea of making a music video on it had been circling around my head during that month, but as said prior, the cycling absence of responsibility hindered those pre-production efforts. As the deadline got closer, that being the Grad Breakfast where this video, if it were to be completed, would be showcased, I got more worried.

And then I gave up.

And then my Yearbook teacher picked it up. And she got her Grade 11’s to help out in photographing the stop motion in two periods, assembling whoever I could find for those bleacher shots, and the day before the Grad Breakfast, sit in the CommTech room for five hours sifting through 1400 photographs and deleting, fixing, compiling, placing and cueing them up to the music. 

So, pardon the mistakes. I’m truly sorry I couldn’t make this the best video ever, because of the limited time, abruptness, and intensely complicated process. Give me a break.

In my opinion, this product was much better than the non-existent one I was ready to settle on.

iSpy Team Fortress 2 coming to Macs

See what I did there?

Check out the latest blog post here: http://teamfortress.com/

So, it seems  after Valve released the news that Steam was coming to Macs, which didn’t really excite me considering I’m not fucking rich, they’ve also decided to finally port games to multi-platform usage, bringing a whole new demographic to the Team Fortress 2 community.

A whole new, never-before-spawned, new to TF2, un-grieved, un-breifed, and unskilled.

So basically, a new batch of newbs to decimate into oblivion.

Despite that fact, I was still pretty excited because of the following:

Lol, BLU Team are Macfags.

But damn, that new Engineer weapon is clearly displayed, and it has some sort of Texan-style detailing and accompanying ACOG scope or something. Could it be a spy-detecting shotgun? Will playing Spy finally be assimilated out of rational thought?

I will hope that Valve has learned its lessons in class and weapon balance and not do this, cause it would suck fucking balls. I might as well stick to Engy, camp in a corner and eat a sandwich while hoping for these new Mac players to waltz in unknowingly into my reign of turret fire.

But what’s the fun in that?

No, I’d rather see medics who don’t know how to hold down MOUSE1 to rely on, spies who decide to disguise as an enemy team member and run towards them, and the ever popular, meticulously complicated W+MOUSE1 Pyros we see so rarely these days. Because you know, it’s not Team Fortress 2 without them.

Which is true really, I’m not try to be snarky or sarcastic. Hopefully, I come off that way though. But I don’t get all this fuss about new players coming in and ruining the game for everyone else. Like newbs are something new to Team Fortress 2. Those ‘experienced’ players who got TF2 probably three months ago want to sound 1337 and criticize a player that they were three months ago. Everybody’s a newb at some point in time.

Hell, most TF2ers that have been playing for three months, still are.

I’ve been playing for three years. I’m still not as good as I could be. I can’t air frag, time my ‘sploshuns, double jump like a ninja, or eagle-stab like I so desperately wish I could. By all accounts, I’m a casual. I’ve confessed. Now leave me alone.

It’s all you whiners out there—the Valve-haters that continuously rag on every facet of every new major update and then end up getting bored and playing it anyways. The boycott solutions with Left 4 Dead 2, the new crafting system (which, by the way, had no impact, negative or positive, on the gameplay itself), every single unlockable weapon that’s been released; given, the complaints come at a recycled and ignorable pace and presence, yet they still seem to spoil the forums consistently.

Just deal with it. It doesn’t change gameplay mechanics. It won’t take away those precious hats of ours. If anything, it will make Team Fortress 2 grow in popularity, which is Valve’s intention in the first place, and its a good thing for community members too. More players means more community, more community means more feedback, more feedback means better improvements to Team Fortress 2.

Then again, this may be a temporary thing—scratch that, it is a temporary thing, and I could be arguing for a side that doesn’t care, and against a side that will forget about what they’re arguing against in the first place. That’s the beauty of online communities though.

What exactly that is, I’m not sure I’ve explained. But I’m not here to please you.

Go play some video games, they’re good for you.

What’s love got to do, got to do with it?

Nothing. This post has nothing to do with love.

It does, however, have something to do with a few witnesses who have reports. Or so I am told.

Don’t you hate it when you have a glossy widescreen LCD monitor, and you know it’d look so nice, but behind you is a giant window that reflects every single fucking ray of light that bounces off this monitor. It’s like a mirror. It’s god damn annoying. Fucking tired of dealing with this shit.

Oh yeah, check this out:

The Witness Report.

The Blooging Network has another member on its roster. Woohoo.

And as well, that guy who wants to blog too also wants to change his name, because he’s an indecisive little bitch.

But you love him anyways. His new name is:

The John Woodside Report.

Originality, my ass. Now go have fun on those two domains. I’m tired of you reading this.

Unless you can fix this screen glare. Something tells me you can’t. I’m so incredibly happy today, can’t you tell?

CAUTION! You’ve just found a well-timed sickness

What do you do?
CATCH IT / AVOID IT

That’s how you lose at games, folks. You get sick before exam week.

There is some good.

Thanks to my friend for this breathtaking video.

And you’ll never know!

I’m going tell you that right now. Just as a disclaimer.

Watch at your own risk.

Please.

Please just watch it. Thank you.

And spread it around too. Videos need lots of attention to grow into big, strong viral videos.

I’m putting aside my responsibilities for you.

So be grateful. Since I’ve been pretty much AWOL for the whole month because I’ve been doing things not involving a sore back from surfing the internet, getting an almost 1 to 1 kill-death ratio on Modern Warfare, doing school stuff (I KNOW, RIGHT?) and contemplating the potentially disastrous yet profoundly liberating thought of graduating from four years of hell—uh, high school, I can’t seem to put aside time to hit up the old Live Writer, and write some shit.

Along with that, my Photoblog is gathering as much virtual dust as my dSLR is physically.

Plus, it’s Wednesday. Who blogs on Wednesday?

Whatever, I’m a loser.

So, I’ll break it down for you in a concise, understandable manner. Because you’re all idiots. I’m not being curt, like someone who apparently knows how to blog too. I’ll skip the posting of clothing I’ll never own and dreams I’ll never fulfill. But I’ll fill you in one some key points going on right now.

First off, thanks for reading this. Over the course of almost a year, I’ve gathered more readers than I thought I would. Low standards equates high satisfaction. Foolproof.

Secondly, brobguy will no longer be the main YouTube channel link. If you’ve read my previous blog postings below, you’ll notice I’ve started a new channel with kg, that has most of our Grade 12 videos for CommTech, and possibly some extras to come. A new video (I KNOW, RIGHT?) will be up soon. Hopefully. Click HERE.

Thirdly, there is actually a lot of relevant content I could post on here that I’ve recently found out about and been following, but I am a lazy motherfucker. Get to know me, and you’ll realize that. Hey, I want to be your friend. Too bad this Live Writer doesn’t have a bullet poi—oh wait, it does. Awesome.

• Remember that really old post about The Walking Dead live action series?
• If you’ve been following io9’s coverage, it has been greenlighted, signed, sealed and filming right now. Zombie extras with makeup and all. On AMC. Alongside Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Series I have yet to watch but will agree are good because I want to be cool too.
• Plus Frank Darabont is directing. How awesome is that?
  
• I thought Piranha 3D was a joke. I guess I was wrong.
  
• YES, I am getting all this information from my io9, and basically reblogging it.
• Green Lantern; casted Ryan Reynolds? Fuck yes.
• Captain America: casted Chris Evans? Rad.
• Hugo Weaving as Red Skull? Fuck yes.
• Gary Coleman’s dead.
• Wait, how’d that get in there? Disregard that.
• But he’s actually dead. Sadface.
• Iron Man 2: Have not watched it yet. I want money.
• I watched How To Train Your Dragon, however.
• If you haven’t seen it, go watch it. It is awesome. Now. Do it.
• Scott Pilgrim v. The World: Michael Cera being likeable (I KNOW, RIGHT?). Comic action. Geek references. Fight scenes. Onomatopeia. I should pick up the graphic novel. So out of it.
  
• I am having too much fun with these bullet lists to stop, you know.
• I use this system for exam study notes.
  
• There are tons of online videos I’d like to show you, but I wont. Because the fun in online videos is finding them. Then its sharing them with friends. But none of you are my friends. How can you be my friend if I can’t even see your face? It’s ridiculous.
• But they include tit-slapping, big booties, JS+RWJ, t-shirts, avatars, a guild, and lots of other things you should learn about. Actually, you probably already know about them. In that case, get to know them again?
• Wong Fu Productions made a new short film. It’s cute.
  
• Dennis Hopper is died—died? Dead. He was in a lot of movies. He had cancer. Sadface :(
• That was an actual typo with ‘died’, but I decided to run with it. If you can figure out what I’m referring to, then you can be my friend. If not, then you’re not my friend.
  
• I went to Canada’s Wonderland with some people you may know, to celebrate graduating. The demographic there was alarming, to say the least. Then it was annoying. Then it was terrifying. And then it was annoying again. More on that later, maybe.
  
• I’ve been peer-pressured into wearing various things for various events, mainly a very important one this Friday. I spent money I probably shouldn’t have. It was not at all a great feeling.
• I make it back by tutoring English for my classmate’s aunt. One of the kids is in Grade 7, and he thinks he’s the shit. I’m too passive, cause now he really thinks he’s the shit. I should hit him.
• …Nah.
  
• I love Fraser…or do I?
• More on that later.
  
• Which means the next bullet point! Damn!
• I am a mediocre hip-hop artist.
• I now have amateur experience with audio mixing and recording.
• Final Cut is now comprehensible to me.
• I feel pro-er. Feels good, man.
• AND MATHEMATICS.
  
• The Behemoth’s first dip is so steep, that if you were in the front car, you wouldn’t see the tracks when you first dip over the peak. I brought Gravol with me. It helped.
  
• I’m wearing out this list, I can tell. Who’s to stop me though?
  
• I just read The Kite Runner for English class. Surprisingly good novel. Never thought I’d read it, nor did I plan to or want to. But it gave me chills at the intended times, and left me thinking about it after I closed the back cover. Good books—hell, good anything does that. Check it out if you haven’t already. It’s easy to follow even if you’re not a reader.
  
• I’ve started listening to Major Lazer, This Will Destroy You, The End of the Ocean, Prince, Passion Pit, The Temper Trap, El Ten Eleven, Adele, a bit of Kanye West, but he’s still douchey as fuck, Mates of State and old songs I’ve found love again in that are far too numerous to name.
• Not really, just lazy.
• I am really closing that gap between me and hipster. It’s all thanks to this girl who likes weird things like GO buses, and Peter Pan. Ew.
  
• Pudding dongle.

I stole that last one from a webcomic. Forgot the name. I’ll remember it and forget to blog about it. And then that’s that. Pretty much how things go around here.

There’s your summary of what you missed, or what I missed and can recall at this very moment.

I should be more active the closer it comes to exam weeks. Wait, what?
