Tenacious D – Pick Of Destiny

Added on February 25th, 2007

Got to love this movie. Just watched it a while ago and while it probably isn’t everybody’s thing, I loved it. The movie tells the story of the young Jables who is the black sheep in his family and decides to run away from home. He goes to California where he meets Kage. One thing leads to another, and they end up forming a band together known as the Tenacious D.

Soon thereafter they find out that Kage’s mother won’t pay for his rent anymore, and the Tenacious D set out on a quest to find a way to pay their rent. But first they must find the “Pick of Destiny” which will make sure that they win the “open mic” contest at a local bar.

While the movie might not be for everyone due to it’s “potty humour” it’s still a fun watch, especially if you are a fan of the D. The greatest band in the world.

Some Popomundo Art

Today’s post will be about the various pieces of graphical work that I have done over the years of playing Popomundo. For those of you who don’t know what Popomundo is, it’s an online web browser based game set in the real world where your character starts a music career. It’s a game where the players strive for fame and money in a virtual music industry basically.

Jonny’s Queen     Nothing Lasts On Speed

That’s four of the eight or so album/single covers that my band, “Paranoid Android” has released in the game. All in all it’s a fun game, can get boring after a while, but that really depends on the person, I’ve been playing now for over 700 days and counting. Oh yeah and here’s the band banner as well.

My New Favourite Video Player – Democracy Player

Added on February 23rd, 2007

Until now I’ve been using various combinations of video players, VideoLAN(VLC), Windows Media Player(WMP), mplayer, QuickTime Classic, and so on. As well as having Firefox plugins to download videos from video sites such as YouTube, and of course players that could playback “flv” files as well that come from those sites.

But no more. I finally got around to installing the latest version of Democracy Player. And now I can pretty much watch all my videos, download and watch anything from YouTube inside the player itself. But that’s not all. The player has support for bittorrent as well, not only that, but there is a large number of channels for it already where you can watch hours and hours of quality video content.
