Steam hijackers 2

Woah, it’s been a while since I posted anything at all. First off, these people HAVE to try harder, least the last guy did that cool third person speaking but this guy couldn’t even spell..

Secondly, it’s been a while since anything from us right? Here’s the low down of what’s up including myself in third person.
Michael - Busy/lazy, been working all the time and in his spare time he’d like to make video but instead he plays TF2 or gets drunk.
Rob and Zach - Both have background projects but really they’re hugely busy with work, Mass Effect 2 is out this year remember and they’ll be working their asses off no doubt.
Brian and Lars - They’ve been doing things for their blarsa.com website, it’s really cool actually, I enjoy listening to the music.
Filipe and Ben - .. I actually don’t know… I think Ben’s doing college stuff still and Filipe is working, maybe they can update us in the comments.
James - Though he’s not an official core lit fuse member, he’s a friend and he managed to secure a job at Bioware also, so good luck to him for that!

I might continue updating the blog even if I have nothing of machinima interest if you guys would prefer that to total deadness. If not, I can be caught at Facebook.com/michaelkc or twitter.com/michae1kc. Oh and I’ve got the unreal editor open right now, so it could take about 3 years for me to get something out, stay tuned!

Steam hijackers

I understand a lot of people now are more wary about giving their account details away for anything but there are people out there who are just too naive trusting, so I’m doing my part to help this community from people who want to steal your accounts! Be strong newbies and do it like Uncle Michael does.

I went through the forum today and I figured I’d go watch a video in the machinima forum, one of things I very rarely do given the fact I’m in a machinima group but anyway, I watched this one by Psyborg (Jonathan Phillips) and it’s got some nice dialogue that feels real and true to the half life world. A few things which would improve it would be better sound quality for the voices and the womans line to be a little louder but other than that it’s a cool short from him.

In other news for Lit Fuse. I’m currently* writing a script for a short series using the Unreal engine again. I know a few of you wished for more Source engine videos, but that’s Zach’s and Rob’s field. I’m sure Smooth Few Films could quench your Source thirst for now. Oh and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

Black Mesa Source and Zombie Panic Source

Our good ol’ friend James ‘Monkey Junkie’ McVinnie has been crazy busy with trailer making, much to the amusement of Rob and I on MSN, he’s actually released them in quick succession. Though not being a ‘full on’ team member of Lit Fuse, he’s very close to us and does amazing work with a lot of commitment once he gets into the project. You might’ve seen them before but here’s what James has brought out recently under the Lit Fuse name.
