Happy Day of Birth Miss Davis
sleepingagain | 2:05 AM on 10.07.2009 16 comments




(I know I'm going to get some grief from Ashley, but I am going to say it)

Its been a while since I befriended my lovely little friend, and I still find the best thing about her is no matter how amazing her work is, she’s humble. Its not too often when you find people out in the world with a mass amount of talent but still are not the type to boast about it at every moment.

I figured after she became a editor her ego would make her implode, but I was surprised to find out that she stayed the same.

After her work on HAWP, I figured yet again that her ego would turn her into Godzilla and she would crush Anthony’s neck and destroy all that is good in the world but I'm yet surprised she stayed the same.

And after the run away success of “Once upon a Pixel” I figured she would of renamed “Gametrailers.com” to “GameAshleyFuckingDavisTrailers.com” but yet again I was surprised to find out that she stayed the same.

I just realized people like her are few and far between so shes going to stay the humble little person she is and shes not going to change...

So in the end im just happy to wish her a good
happy birthday!
Hopefully you get yourself some nice toys!

my adventure into modding...
sleepingagain | 1:51 PM on 03.20.2009 13 comments


So out of frustration, I decided fuck buying a cheap Madcatz controller and undertook the process of modding my own 360 controller into my own arcade stick.

#1 I don't know anything about soldering before starting this
#2 it turned out a bit expensive, since I had to buy a ton of things I was not aware I needed
#3 I Do know a bit about working with wood
#4 this was a crazy fucking idea



































What I did learn, its too damn big, soldering is hard and sure its kinda ugly, BUT IT WORKS.... video coming later

anywho...LINKS!
I bought the parts from.

and these sites helped me in the process to figure out wtf to do.

To one of the nicest people I've met in the last year, at least before her ego becomes bloated from being a editor now.

Happy birthday Ashley

Feel the Hatred: Motion Sickness
sleepingagain | 5:09 PM on 09.03.2008 7 comments




So im not sure if it came with age, or just fancy new graphics but something has happen to my ability game happily.

So I had been a avid gamer most of my life, I spent my youth dumping many quarters in to “Street Fighter 2” machines, but for about 3 or 4 years I stepped away from gaming, mainly just because I could not afford to buy anything (and im poor).

Then after a long hiatus on gaming I finally got to check out this epic “Half-Life” game everyone was raving about. So I had gone to a friends house, sat down on his PC and started to play this fucking amazing game but something odd was happening. I started to get a stomach ache and I didn't think much of it but I kept playing till I got to the point to where I HAD to lay down.

I didn't think much of it, cause I didn't own a PC at the time that could run half-life, so most of the games (rgps, platformers) I was playing didn't have that effect on me.




Then came the day I got a copy of GTA3, and I realized every time I played the game it made me feel dizzy and nauseous.

Then I realized the sad realization that this awesome game was not going to be played cause my stomach. And since that day I keep finding myself playing games and never really sure which ones are going to make me feel like shit and which ones are just fine.

But yeah, fuck you motion sickness...

Wishing for these Albums on Rockband
sleepingagain | 7:53 PM on 06.22.2008 7 comments




I am a big of a music junkie, and spend way too much money on Rock Band DLC. I am bored with alot of time to kill, so here are a bunch of miscellaneous albums/songs I need to rock out too.

And all of these picks are just albums/songs i adore



MC5- Kick Out the Jams (1969)

these are one of those albums I found as a child digging through my cousins crate of albums, and its one of those albums that started me on a path of wanting to make noise. And the fact that he says FUCK right away always made me think it was a bit dangerous as a child.



Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (1988)

To me this record has always been timeless, from the first time I have heard it, to to the last time, its still fucking amazing. I would love to see this whole record as dlc, but I would settle for being able to play teenage riot (the song in the youtube vid)



Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil (1983)

As corny as hair metal was, this was always one of those albums I loved to play just to piss off the neighbors while you tried to kill time setting things on fire.



Social Distortion – Self Titled (1990)

This album was the soundtrack of my youth, a album i discover chatting at a record store, and played on a loop for months



Prince – Purple Rain (1984)

Best sound track ever, I don't give a shit what anyone says. Prince is fucking amazing and there is nothing more I want than to be able to sing and play purple rain.


and a bonus track that i would enjoy, but no way in hell i would ever see..



Peaches-Fuck the pain away

this song is classy, thats all i got to say.
