"To Phantom Sloth From OBEY"

So yesterday I hear my brother say, "To Phantom Sloth" in a low voice behind me as I played Banjo-Kazooie, I turned to see him holding a large envelope addressed to my nickname/gamer tag so I snatched it from him and opened it up, and behold the kick ass CD that we shall know as Obey the Altar Native: Obedience Cool.

The CD came in a small green paper slipcover with two words, "On iTunes" Of course I finished my race in Banjo-Kazooie then tossed the green slipcover and placed the cover in a CD Case giving it a well earned home.






I put the CD in my xbox and listened to all 22 tracks. Upon the listening I heard the ones I already love like "Radio Flyer" and "Written in blood", but listening to the CD has opened a new wave of Great songs like "Altar Native" and "High Noon Shadow". I had a moment of strange timing, I had thought to myself "Wow, this is great i cant believe how well he makes the rhymes works yet they really should rhyme at all." and then suddenly their song Cursive started playing, in the song he says "Why does every single rhyme I write go and flow together like i was spitting in cursive?" Haha strange.

Anyways, the new CD is currently on iTunes for a crazy low amount of $10 dollars! Thats a great deal seeing how if you bought a single song it will cost 99cents, so $1 X 22 = $22 so don't be a douche if your gonna buy a song think twice because they rule the mic and you'll end up wanting other songs, be smart now and buy the whole CD.












Oh and Obey if your reading this, next time do me a favor, sign it yo.

realthemovie.com

So finally, the site for "Real: Documentary of a Superhero" is live. Still got some kinks to work out, and some things to add, but for the most part, it's up. Check it out at: realthemovie.com.

As you can tell from reading the homepage, this site is the main way I'll be raising funds for the film. Why have I put so much effort into making promo stuff for the film, well before the actual start date? Because I'm trying to build up a presentation. A "proof of concept" for what the film will be. Why? So I can get your money.

That's the way I'm attempting the fundraising. Donations. On the site I've laid out my plans in full, and if someone thinks its interesting, they can give any amount.

Of course, the main course of action into making this plan actually work is exposure. So spread the word, aight?

Peace.

Interesting.

Sup yo, Cody here with some interesting bits of info.

The other day I was hanging out with my good friend Josh when I had noticed something about the way he was talking about making a cup of coffee, paying no mind to it at first he later talked about making a sandwich, when suddenly the idea hit me, Josh is the best person I can find to play the lead in my short film "Food: A Tasteful Documentary.".

Yes, I feel your pain. Being left in the dark about something so, delicious. "Food: A Tasteful Documentary." is a short film I am currently writing. Though the final draft for the short film will be written by both Tim and I, I am the main writer due to getting the idea for the film one day while being held in a trance of sandwich making. We plan on shooting the film as a side project sometime this year, hopefully in the next few months.



Surprise! I bring to your attention yet again one of my 3D side projects, "Boxes: To something higher" When I had got the idea about six months ago I had no plan on where to take the idea, But yesterday I had sat down and messed around with a box, and from there I had made a box/man, giving me a story for the short film I call "Boxes: To something higher".



The Gofio Podcast will be made sometime soon, Tim bought me a new headset for Christmas so now Chris and I are perfectly good to record. Tim will be getting his very soon. The Podcast will include info about the Gofio team's short films/Feature films, game reviews, recent movies watched, and anything else we deem good enough to be brought up, for example the cake we will be eating on my birthday (Jan 7th).

And for your parting pleasure, Obey The Altar Native is going to be playing live in Tuscan on the 22nd and 23rd, they have asked me to make up a short video for them while they are on stage, and of course I'm going to the concert so why not do them a favor?

VGA+Ying-Yang

Cody here, just thought I'd upload two thoughts.

You catch the VGA awards? Did you see the Watchmen trailer? Did you wanna throw your shoe at the tv? So did I! But I sat with a huge smile on my face in amazement for, Brutal Legend! Truly greatness as to be expected from my number 1 Favorite game creator, Tim Schafer.

Well to be 100% with ya, i kinda thought the trailer was "Meh", up till Eddie Riggs(Jack Black) started talking to the evil nun. Here is a link to the trailer if you missed it. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43624.html

Okay, also i want to upload my background i made for my pc(Got annoyed with searching yahoo).

Here is a tiny one so you can see what it is, but the ones you'd want to use are below

two links to my photobucket for ya, one is 1024x768 and the other is 800x600.

In-Advertising

Photobucket

Look at that poster. Really nice, isn't it? Subtle, evocative, emotional, and above all, well designed.

Yet anyone who's vaguely familiar with the Madea character (and I stress the word vaguely) will know that the films about said character are not AT ALL subtle, evocative, etc. They're basically Big Momma's House movies (and if I am mistaken, and only the trailers for the film make them seem to be low grade cheese, let me know, as I have yet to see a Madea movie).

Now, seeing this poster got me wondering what other grossly inaccurate posters are out there? Posters that do a terrible job of representing the film they're championing, whether through gross incompetence by the designer, or straight up lying by the marketing team.

This could be fun.

Star Wars Poster Pictures, Images and Photos

I know, I know, it's an awesome poster, for sure. But we're not talking about bad posters, we're talking about misleading ones. Look how fucking hot Leia looks! Her dress tarp is NEVER torn during the movie, I can assure you. Look how buff Luke is! Almost enough to get me to stop looking at Leia. But where the hell is Han? And why is the Death Star lit up like a Brite Lite?

Scary Movie Movie poster Pictures, Images and Photos

No sequel? Bullshit motherfuckers.

POSTER Pictures, Images and Photos

This poster misleads you into thinking this movie might be good.

Krull Pictures, Images and Photos

While not neccesarily mis-leading (I'm breaking my own rules fast), so many sci-fi and adventure movie posters that used art had the same problem: the film could just never, never be as awesome as the art promised. Here's another example:

Look for a post later devoted to this particular subject. And finally:

Look at the size of that fucking jeep. Godzilla's foot was nowhere NEAR this big in the movie.
