Though admittedly, the week before last I really had no clue who or what the Jace Hall Show was, I found myself in a unique position to be interviewed by one of the staff writers about the meet-up last week. So, of course doing my home work, I found out that Jace Hall is actually a pretty heavy hitter and get’s to do some skits/shows with some pretty big celebrities!

But in any case, if you click the image up top and you’ll be taken to the article. It’s been one hell of a week, both full of personal success and horrible tragedies to the country as a whole and it does put a lot of this into perspective.

So, hope you enjoy and there will be some other announcements in the near future regarding my latest projects! Have a good day!

Shock Slayer finished up a meet-up video from last week and posted it up last night! It’s pretty cool but really just shows a glimpse of what happened over the weekend, but it’s still pretty cool. I really wish we took more pics and video, but the coolest part of this video is a time lapse he did of me doing some recessed cuts with my CNC for his N64 project. That starts at 5:44 on the video time line so skip ahead if you’re in a hurry (and don’t want to get sea sick).

I’ve never found it difficult to convey exactly how an experience has affected me before. It’s almost always the same key elements that are quite easy to describe in a manner of just a few words. The events of the last few days however have left me in awe and really have opened my eyes to the potential that so many like minds have to offer. So much that I can’t describe exactly what I got out of it other than I have been enlightened to a variety of new experiences that were just plain awesome!

On top of that, the bonds that have been made with just a few days of real life contact are one of the most valuable experiences to leave with and I think we’re all going to be holding on to that for a very long time now and I can’t wait to see where this leads us all in the future!

So, over the next few days, I’ll be making some posts of the accomplishments that were made while we were all together. We’ll all be posting either finished or in-progress threads on the forums and I’ll be doing a short write-up of each one after they get posted on their respective sites.

Some new big things coming up soon as well, including a glimpse of my secret project that I’ve been working on for over 8 months now! Stay tuned for some exciting news shortly!

The Crew Is All Here!

So everyone is now here and we’re in the process of setting up! 3PM we’ll be starting a live stream!

Check it out here at ShockSlayer’s Channel!

I’ll have some pics and videos up in awhile. Sorry for short post, but just want to keep everyone who cares updated!

Ashen Arrives!

Posted: 04/11/2013 in General News

Making that 7.5hr trip from PA, Game Cube Modder Extraordinaire, Ashen hanging out by the liquor shelf!

Next to arrive will be Hailraizer! He’s expected to hit traffic right about now but he’ll be here probably around 8PM or so! More updates to follow!

The Meet-Up Begins!

Posted: 04/11/2013 in General News

So at about 10AM EST, the first of the guest arrived to the Manchester Airport.

Jonathan Shine, from Hollywood California, with the longest trip made it here faster than anyone else! We’ve been going through the orientation of the basement and just talking a lot of shop. Pretty cool though to see that this is actually happening and the next 4 days are going to be amazing! Next to show up is Ashen, probably getting here around 3 or 4PM this afternoon and then Hailraizer who’ll be showing up around 8 or 9pm.

SS, Beta and Aux will be here probably around 1AM Friday morning as they can’t start the trip until Aux get’s out of work.

But anyway, I’m gonna try and update here a bit more frequently this week so you all can see what’s happening! Should be a great time! Say tuned!
