Alvin’s Film Follies (The Part I Out Takes)

Hey, no one’s perfect!  Here are some of the shots from my roll of PanF that could be filed under G (or were precariously close to it.)

My very first shot on the roll of PanF. Who would have thought...

Alvin’s Film Follies (Part I)

A couple months ago, my buddy Jon issued a challenge: Shoot a single roll of Ilford PanF with a Nikon SLR (in my case, a F90x) and a 50mm lens (AF Nikkor 50/1.8 D), using only manual settings.  We were free to choose who would develop the film and scan it.  (more…)

Welcome To Our Newest Editor!

I’d like to introduce our newest editor, Alvin.  Alvin has been a long time photographer/videographer friend.

In the upcoming days, weeks, or maybe even months, we will be mostly going to be focussing on photography related items.

Hopefully this 2nd iteration of JWAB will be more fruitful than the first.  Stay tuned!

Earworm: Paramore – Pressure (and an editorial)

We are back! Well sort of. I know it’s been a long while since any of us three has posted anything. I myself just got married, and had to go through the process of moving, and getting readjusted. Pat, is wrapping up his HS life, and getting ready for college, and Clothed Snake moving in to a new homestead, and working some freelance gigs. Something had to give and unfortunately, this had to be put on the backburner.

Hopefully we can start providing some sort of content, as we enter into the holiday season, and maybe provide y’all with some fun and immature stuff.

To kick off our sort of return, I give you an earworm, in the form of Paramore’s latest single and video called pressure.

Nothing better than listenting to their smooth sounds, watching them jam out. As usual Ms. Williams looks amazing, with those red locks. Of course, the preverbial cherry on top, water gets dumped on the band, and, I have to admit, seeing a wet Hayley got my heart to skip a bit momentarily.

Enjoy!

 

Earworm: “Ghost” by Sir Sly

It’s back. I’m back. Baby got back. It seems as if I’d taken a year of hiatus from consistently posting on here, and it’s time I got myself back on the scene. My music library has grown, and my ear health has dwindled. Greatly. To rest my ears, I’ve taken to listening to softer music for the summer. One of my favorite songs as of late is a very calming one by Sir Sly, an indie pop band out of Los Angeles, California. Indie pop from out west has been taking over my playlist ever so slowly since Foster the People and The Neighbourhood made it to my ear drums.

And even better is the live version…

Revoltech Reveals Another RevolMini Figure: Venom Snake

Revoltech just released a photo of yet another toy in their RevolMini line.

Looks like Solid Snake and Cyborg Ninja will be accompanied by Venom Snake from The Phantom Pain. This figure is still in the preliminary stage so we’ll have more details as they come. So far it looks good. I’m sure it’ll look amazing after it’s been colored and finalized. (more…)

MGSV: The Phantom Pain Plot Leaked, Possibly Fake

image

Some TPP plot info has made its way onto the internet recently. Gaming Gentleman seems to have the inside track on what the story of The Phantom Pain has to offer. Apparently it’s of the fake variety as reported by GameSpot. I’m actually in the middle of this relatively lengthy read, but the info on hand seems very entertaining. If this is indeed false, then whoever came up with it has some neat ideas. False or not, I’ll slap a SPOILER warning just for those who want to be hands off. Those who DO want to read, knock yourself out.

MGSV: The Phantom Pain Gameplay Demo at 1080p!

The MGSVTPP 30 Minute gameplay demo Kojima released has been swimming around the net for a few weeks now. It was a great peek into how the game will look once the finished product hits store shelves (whenever that will be) and offers a glimpse into the TPP story. For those who, like me, enjoy watching MGS trailers and gameplay footy, you can check out a stream at Gamersyde for some 1080p goodness. If, again like me, you also like to have these clips on file, you can download the full video here. Keep in mind that this file is a hefty 6474.18MB aka 6GB+ so make sure you have extra space in your hard drives as well as a decent ISP to download the file. Enjoy.

All Kinds Of TPP EPICNESS!

Reddit user BigBoss9293 was on hand at the Closed Doors live demo for the Phantom Pain at E3 today. In his post he goes into detail about all the wonderfully awesome things he saw during the gameplay. He goes at length, stating:
