| what I have to show for it |
[Feb. 5th, 2010|07:10 am] |
Okay, a while ago I got on the MSPA music team.
I've made a lot of music that I'm very happy with. Probably only a little bit will be used, but if you want to get an idea of what I've been working on, check out the latest album. Most of it sounds like weird video game music/poorly synthed DARK JAZZ, but it's all pretty awesome. I suggest you listen to all of it, and buy it if it strikes your fancy. (Maybe? Maybe not???)
My songs specifically are "Liquid Negrocity" (which makes me laugh because it's just a bunch of shitty FL drum loops) and "The Ballad of Jack Noir" which is a vocal song I turned into a chiptune so it sounds wrong. But they're both pretty rad.
Anyway so that's what I've been up to really. And I get better with every song I make, so if you think I sound like a n00b now, I'll sound like less of one in... a few months, probably. |

So I started going to the MSPA IRC channel and visiting the forums because let's face it homestuck is the best thing ever. I found a pretty good group of mad cool people and they were QUOTING THE SHITTY HOMESTUCK RAP I MADE. (well they started after I came in b/c they recognized me!!! but they were doing it sometime before too)
MY REPUTATION PRECEDED ME
[perryb> 0radiation did you kiss a girl and like it
[Drako> teehee
[Drako> I'M NOT QUITE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS CONCEPT
[Radiation> Y... yes!?
[Radiation> Haunting the shadowy kingdom where I reign, I see.
[perryb> sorry my girlfriend used to go to starmen all the time and she's the one that recognised you and told me stuff about you
[perryb> oh!! you made that one hack, right?
[perryb> the one with the sidescroller bit
[Radiation> Yeah.
[perryb> she loved that
[perryb> so much
[perryb> haha
as perrybob says: small internet, huh

| Having a good time. |
[Oct. 21st, 2009|06:04 pm] |
I'm having a really good time with my life lately.
First of all, the Brandish 2 Fan Translation is almost done, it's going to be out come November. I've actually beta tested for the patch and contributed a little bit here and there, so I'm very happy to have it finally be close to coming out for real, and with such a goddamn badass group of people heading the translation. Still can't believe I met that guy. The Brandish fanbase is one of the best in the world on average, I think.
Second of all, after my awesome birthday sleepover last week, I had another sleepover this Saturday, this time at my friend Ben's house (different ben than any of the other bens I've mentioned on here. why do I know so many cool bens? god) and had a total blast at the St. Paul's Advanced Summer Program reunion set up by him. We went to the Keene Pumpkinfest which just barely missed the record for most pumpkins in one place by a measly 200 (there were 29,000 pumpkins) and I had a really damn cool time seeing all those awesome summer-programmy bros, watching Dr. Horrible for the third time, observing MIT undergrads play Risk for two hours with 17-year-old savants, and having girls think I'm so cute, Tobes.
Not to mention I met a girl there that I knew pretty okay before (She went to St. Paul's, I sat with her quite a few times at lunch, and she came around our dorm a lot) but hadn't talked to too much because my cool lion-smiley weird liberal friend had an unrequited crush on her and my other awesome footbally-greek-opera-conservative friend was dating her (past tense), so I didn't want to be in the middle of something like that.
asrfalteaoigjelaktj she was so cute, god, everytime she laughed she was like the most adorable thing ever, I spent too much time with her
and she's damn smart
and doesn't show any signs of being crazy or unstable (although girls can sometimes be surprising)
I think that's a small price to pay for her NOT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Anyway I should probably try to see her again, because she's a cool chick. A cool cat, actually. Specifically. She only lives like a half-hour away, I need to learn to drive or something. I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm awesome, if completely nonsensical at times.
ANYWAY
All my classes are cool, I read ahead in World Lit, Calculus pretty much makes sense and is moving at a really deliciously slow pace, Physics is difficult but understandable, and Spanish is easy because I have a bunch of juniors in my class. Really my schedule is challenging, but none of my teachers are bullshitty. They never tell us to make timelines or do weird projects or learn vocab we will never use. They give us reasonable material, they explain it, I do the work, and I come out okay. This is the only year that has really been like this and I like it.
OH YEAH AND IN BAND TODAY
AFTER PLAYING RANDOM SOLO SHIT ON THE FOURTH SONG IN OUR HALFTIME SHOW
AND HEARING MYSELF PLAY IT ON TV
THE TEACHER FINALLY CALLED ME OUT
TO COME TO THE FRONT OF THE BAND
busteeeeed
TO PLAY MY SOLO IN HARMONY WITH THE OTHER TWO TRUMPETS
FUCK YEAHs

| an excerpt from a facebook conversation from a person |
[Sep. 6th, 2009|11:49 am] |
sorry kiddo, for the awkward questions =/ tell people that i'm moving to boston and staying there for a semester first before starting school. if they ask where i'm going, say "probably northeastern but idk you know emily that could mean she's going to georgia tech and forgot to tell me". i would love to hang out, but i'm not in town. can't wait for that explanation though.
ok, so i got sent this:
Amanda Gagnon August 23 at 7:09pm Report
HI EMILY! We had the great great privilege of attending the ASP with Toby Robert Fox. We would like to tell you that we are quite happy that you are in a relationship with him. We stalked you through your pictures and you have beautiful hair...especially the fire engine red color. Don't mind us we're not trying to be creepers. You also have really cool hats. Toby is so gorgeous and is amazing at playing the piano. He makes sweet music...and other sweet things...like candy! We love him very much possibly more than you do...ok be good to Toby!!
You are a very lucky woman!
-love the ASP creeps. :)
...and sent back this:
oh trust me, i'm the luckiest woman out there and i'm incredibly aware of it. i used to sit for hours simply gazing wantonly at the many pictures of toby that i have in my meager shrine to his magnificence. having been taken from behind bushes and through windows, they're a bit out of focus, but all the better, for i know not if i could handle confronting the full force of his glory for long. even now i have to wear blindfolds as we walk down the street! </wistful>
no artifact of his life, be it an empty valve oil bottle, a broken pencil, a gum wrapper, a discarded comic, a tropical skittles bag, a sweaty cross country sock, or one of his many fan letters, goes unrespected or ignored in my chronicling of his life, his legend. now i don't even have to pick through his trash in the middle of the night!
truly, i am blessed. all of my numerous rejections of his advances were out of utter disbelief, and the dark knowledge that i could never satisfy or compare to such a godly image. it has taken much time and effort to sway these convictions, but now i feel that it is all for the best. if toby fox </nervous> deems me worthy, then who am i to argue? i can only try my very best to live up to his expectations, and maybe someday grow into a woman worthy of his attentions (if such a creature exists in this world). as for now, i'll sit back and comb his beautifully illustrious mustache for hours, conditioning it with tonics and oils whilst feeding him grapes off the vine. thank you so much for sharing in my rapture. =D
Holy crap, I am bad ass. I like having friends. |

|
| I guess I should be thankful. |
[Aug. 27th, 2009|06:56 pm] |
Time for another update for you guys.
1. Started XC. Saw someone else (not me) vomit for the first time. Pretty much like I imagined it. Thanks, TV. Also I didn't feel like barfing myself, so that's good; I was kind of worried I'd have some sort of weird reaction like how someone mentioned in science class that it can set off more than one person or something. It wasn't really nauseating at all. Thanks, EB.
2. Got grounded for a day for staying up until 3:00 in order to help reidman beat EarthBound with no equipment (he had failed twice, it was on ustream with 100 people watching) and to commentate with SimonBob, Falcon24, ozwalled, and other cool people. It was rad. reidman asked me to read all the credits out loud. I failed. I think Falcon24 told me to shut up 3 times. Good job.
3. Started and finished Band Camp. Learned the music and counts in 2 days. Spent the rest of the time playing jazz solos and harmonizing where I wasn't supposed to instead of playing the actual music. Good times.
3 1/2. MET THE GUY WHO'S TRANSLATING BRANDISH 2 IT WAS REALLY AWESOME
4. had 3 pages here but I took them out
eir mouths sewed together and their ears taped shut. It's like not just failing a quiz, it's like going into a class over 8 periods, each with a different mustache and pseudonym, and failing no less than 8 quizzes in a variety of different ways, earning suspensions and detentions on each one for racist remarks about Inuits.
I think it's just the fact that people expect me to, like, talk about how it came about and stuff that bothers me the most. Not that I blame those people... just that it's awkward and I have no idea what to say. ffffffffffffuck argh I sound like such an overconfident shithead BLARGH I'M SO DUMB FOR DOING ANY OF THIS
YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
I FEEL... LIKE...

WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE |
|
|
| fuck I haven't updated my journal in a month |
[Aug. 12th, 2009|06:54 pm] |
I NEED TO UPDATE THIS TOO MUCH HAS HAPPENED
WHAT DO I SAY REALLY
well I went to summer campschool that was cool I made a lot of friends I played romeo in the school play I looked dumb in the costume I want to write so much about this but it would DRAIN MY BRAIN and I didn't when I had the chance but pretty much I had french toast every morning I could eat as much as I want and while I was there I made this ridiculously stupid piano radio play about Ben called Space Boyfriend, he played it on his show for three weeks and it was me screaming into a microphone and it had a stupid theme song and everything and then in the second play I got to strip and dress up as a fairy it was funny I got married to a dude (who was being played by a girl so I was reverse-gay MMMMMMMMMMM)
I visited kim (aka wilhelmina carmel on starmen.net) for the SECOND TIME IN MY LIFE she's a pretty sweet babe I should treat her better I ALSO SAW BLOOPIE AGAIN AT THE SAME TIME mmmmmmmmmm yeah baby double trouble!!!!!!! we met some tigsource guys I need to post there but I have been busy lately
applied to be a radio PSI buddy DJ, I'm pretty awesome, gota a new headset and now I skype with people all the time it's kind of disturbing although there are some people I SHOULD SKYPE MORE WITH IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! this helped me discover a lot of things about many people such as how cute edobean's voice is aaaaaaaaa
since I got back I read billy budd and it sounded just like flapjack
now I'm reading portrait of the artist of a young man and he KISSES A WHORE oh my!!! SINFUL
finally logged into deviantart again I should draw something
I was on ustream for 3 hours last night with 100+ people watching me, I played through the EBFGP Dept. Store Spook GPP but instead of it sucking I hacked the game so I was using "ben's save file" and I gave him 50 naked photographs for items and I was like "OH LORD BEN WHAT HAV EYOU BEEN DOING" and DUKE NUKEM joined your party and phantos were enemies and you had to fight DUKE later and after that I played through all of my halloween hack it was ridiculous
you can watch that
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1968438
here, but it's 3 hours long so I have no idea why you ever would, unless:
a) you don't mind sitting through 30 minutes of QUALITY earthbound commentary on the destruction of the dept. store spook
b) you've never played my halloween hack before and you'd rather watch me play it fast with narration and skip over the boring parts (it'd take you more than 2 hours anyway, this is most of the enjoyment you'd get out of it probably)
c) you want to see me play illusion of gaia while my brothers scream in the background |

| Hey guys, I'm not dead |
[Jul. 5th, 2009|10:54 am] |
Hey guys, I'm back from badass school. Sorry I've been gone for the past four years, I was practicing the fireball toss with my Airskates when suddenly it occurred to me that I'd probably been spending a little too much time in the sky. My watch had broken a little bit earlier, but I didn't really care because I have a good sense of time, you know?
Anyway, turns out that it's been four years.
Anyway, this entire time, my little baby brother has been updating crap about me liking some Tech Girl or something gross like that. Gross. Cooties. In reality I have been married to the sea this entire time, and I'm not even kidding. She's the only one turbulent to satisfy me, and in my passion I bought her a giant gold ring which is the size of 1/4 of the Earth and somehow I put it on her finger and it's amazing. Jesus I have so much money. Learning how to sneeze diamonds in 2nd grade really helped me out in the long run.
Anyway, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed about what my little brother wrote every once in a while. (Jerk couldn't be bothered to keep an update schedule!) But it's okay. I understand that little whiny babies go through turbulent times and they pretend to ruin their brother's lives with diatribes so sappy they'll give you diatribe-diabetes. Holy Donkey Kong some of that stuff that he wrote was barely edible, it was so bad. I wonder how any of you managed to choke it down. I mean, really, Brandish? But whatever. Puberty's a dangerous thing. Good thing I never went through it, I went through super-puberty when I was 10 and got chest hair and muscles and have been buff ever since, and when I reach my late-fifties I'm going to go back and be a teenager for a few years and laugh at all the old saggy people but until then I don't have to worry about it. Sounds like good. I'm gonna go ride a meteorite.
Anyway, the really important thing is, guys, that I really never was lying about anything, and that everything depressing or contradictory was written by my little brother, and that everything absolutely awesome was written on the fly in the sky with golden smoke from my Airskates. My crack team of skywriter-watchers transcribed it all, letter by letter, poring over every character. Sometimes I even wrote in Chinese. Remember that picture of those fluffy puppies? I drew that.
I kept my promises, Turtle's honor. By the way, Jack's doing great. And I found out a way to look sexy when I brush my teeth, but I'm working on getting a patent for it. So I can't tell you what it is.
Anyway, here's the update you've all been waiting for:
My profession isn't knife anymore. I'm a wakizashi now.
Anyway, just wanted to tell you guys that. Here's to getting my watch fixed.
All Hail Shane. |
|
|
| see you guys later |
[Jun. 19th, 2009|12:19 am] |
I'm gonna be at St. Paul's Advanced Studies Program for the next six weeks so I won't be here, not that I post anyway. Keep it real, guys.
Also I got a haircut.
I love all you guys. Keep it real. |

| Halloween Hack |

Why did I never post about this?
Anyway, this is my Halloween EarthBound Hack. I know you've all probably played it already, but I was looking through my old folders the other day and I realized it's one of the greatest things I've ever made, so check it out. scroll down for download!!!
the name of it is called radiation's earthbound hack: press the B button, idiot
hot screens
 
 
why and when
Every year Starmen.Net (the guys who made that hot fanbook) hold a Halloween-themed all-media contest for MOTHER series stuff with cool prizes, and I always enter a ROM hack. So pretty much I started drawing and thinking up ideas for a ROM hack during chemistry class which was SOOOO EASY at the beginning of the year and it was okay and I made it in a month or something?
I'd started reading auntie pixelante like the month prior and played Mighty Jill Off and was pretty intrigued by a lot of the themes she mentioned in game design (gameplay as a storytelling device, etc.) so that kind of stuff was swimming in my head and I made a weird-ass amazing game. Not to say it embodies all that stuff she talks about (and it does so kind of crappily at times), but it's like 10% inspired by that so I thought I'd mention it.
Plus there was the whole thing where I know that I'm a funny guy (at least to people in my circle of friends) so I wanted to prove that I have a whole 'nother emotional spectrum that I can instill in people.
what does this game have to offer you?
- rearranged palette swapped areas in ways you never would have imagined
- new music and hacked old tunes (some of it is good!)
- a nonsensical plot
- really bad jokes
- p. good pixel art (I'm no master)
- an enjoyable, cohesive experience and an RPG hack that follows NONE of the original game plot and, while it DOES go to some of the same locations (it's split 50/50) the old ones have been changed so much they're not the same at all
- definitively one of the best EB ROM hacks out there (HyperBound, HatQuest, and maybe JonBound are matters of tastes. they're all great!)
- hour(s) of fun (it took my little brother five hours and he never used speedup or anything)
what is WRONG with this game?
- the difficulty is absurd. you NEED to use "spy" later in the game, because hypnosis, paralysis, flash (I tried to avoid this) and even MAGNET are very useful. a certain unnamed enemy is the bane of everyone's existence until you use magnet/hypnosis on it. use savestates. I don't care. But I've played EB so many times (like, I go to an EB fansite) that if the difficulty isn't a punch in the crotch then I wouldn't even feel it. honestly it's a bit unfair in certain areas, which is my own fault and my own poor game design and I somehow screwed the game up enough that I can't go back and fix it actually!!! but you can beat the game WITHOUT savestates, and I don't CARE if you use them so it will work out okay.
- you'll figure out THIS one soon enough
- admittedly I am one of those people that plays a game like FATHOM and goes "that was great. but it would be cool if once in a while these poets or game designers just gave us some closure and told us what this meant. because I mean, I love interpretations and stuff because it's infinite beauty but it'd be cool to just... KNOW what was been going for???"
- so really the problem is that this game leaves you to your own devices! but I also provided a MAKING OF that ruins everything for you if you're so inclined after you beat the game. But it's all shallow stuff anyway, so using your imagination is better. actually this is kind of a cool/good thing???
DOWNLOAD LINK!!!!: http://forum.starmen.net/forum_attachments/0006/8566/halloweenfinal108.ips YOU MUST USE ZSNESW TO PLAY THIS HACK!!! DON'T ASK WHY JUST DO IT
APPLY TO A NORMAL 3MB EARTHBOUND (U) ROM!! I don't know the header specs but if you're getting exploded HP/PP boxes I'll just send you a ROM of it if you ask. it might be the lame censored version though. I don't even remember.
STRATEGY GUIDE IF YOU WANT IT (ruins stuff if you read ahead, duh)!!!: http://forum-files2.fobby.net/0006/9626/strategyguide.txt
THE MAKING OF!!! (read after you beat the lame) http://forum.starmen.net/forum_attachments/0006/9549/THEMAKINGOF.zip (note: contains a lot of me bitching about how much "work" I put into this hack so I would make the judges like me more. HA HA I AM SUCH A JERK.)
please remember to press the b button!!!
should I do a letsplay of this game in a while or wait for someone cool/hot to do it, I'd feel cheap doing an LP of my OWN GAME. What did you guys think of this, anyway? |

I want you all to know that my life has been pretty ㎭ now that I can write my own internet nickname in one character. You might say, "hey ㎭, I find that... ㎭."
Of course, if "㎭" shows up as ??? then I guess you can just start calling me ??? from now on, just so we have something to go by.
As for real life I've been really lazy and not getting anything accomplished besides doing well in school, being obnoxious in plays, etc. NOTHING SUPER-COOL. |

I hate to post about Brandish all the time, but holy SHIT.
Brandish PSP has been out since the 19th.
In Japan, it's the 4th highest selling PSP RPG on Amazon and the Number 1 selling PSP Action-RPG. Period. This is even over the wildly popular Ys series. Not just over the past few months, over everything.
I haven't played it yet but apparently it has gotten fantastic reviews and I've watched some videos, but Brandish is always way more fun to play than it is to watch. I also downloaded the music and it's incredible. Best RPG soundtrack I've heard since Mother 3 in 2006.
From what I can tell, the game has been improved ridiculously, with pretty much every single complaint about the original game GONE and every sort of fleeting wish I've ever had about the game fulfilled. It's mind-boggling how well Falcom understands their fans.
But seriously, that popular!? It makes NO SENSE. With statistics like that, Atlus might actually translate it...
... That would mark the beginning of the Apocalypse.
Oh Jesus Lord Almighty, too bad this kind of thing would never happen for the MOTHER series, huh.
(Only bad thing I've heard is that there's no adjustable speed function, but with the PSP's specs that's kind of impossible.)

[Feb. 27th, 2009|12:28 pm] |
Okay, so after a year and a half or so of on-and-off working on a screen shot Let's Play, I finally finished my one of EarthBound. People really like it and I loved making it, I think it's one of the best things I've ever made and DEFINITELY the longest things I've ever written. If you like EarthBound or Let's Plays or just funny/cool things made by me in general and you don't have ADD then you owe yourself to at least try reading it, I know it's not for everyone but ffffffffff, it's like 999 of my comic punchlines without any of the dumb drawings inbetween
read it here
it's so long that I don't expect everyone to read it, but as far as screenshot LPs I think it ranks up there with some of the best |
