ATTENTION

As you can tell I havent posted anything here in a LONG time. That's because of Twitter and the Facebook fan page. Twitter is perfect for updates and Facebook accomplishes the same things as this blog does, only it allows further interaction with fans.

New Series

Hey

I've started a new series with Empire Total War. I'll just take historical match ups and make them into a cool cinematic video. They will always be two parts. The first part will show the armies marching and the preliminary stages of the battle. After that video is out I will put up a poll where people will choose which country will win the battle. This way people can get involved and I won't have to worry about choosing a particular country to win. And then part two will be the full fledged battle.

I have already posted Part 1 of a Sweden vs. Russia. You can view it HERE.
I have part 2 finished and it will be submitted tomorrow.

However, I will not have a vote for this match up, because I just established this new standard. But in between videos I'll have a poll on what match up to have next.

Puppy!

Yo

Here's my puppy (patfan's). His names Brady, after the New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady. So yea I just through this together in 10 seconds...thought it was funny. Note: Brady is well taken care of and fed appropriately.

ALBUM IS UP!!

The J in JT

Hey

It's up and people seem to like it. Click HERE to view.

Notice: A lot of people have been offended by the British in the video. I have this to say; we poked fun at Americans, little kids and Brits all alike. This wasnt directed toward the countries just stereotypes of those gamers.

Also the ODST Rap is being written at the moment. And a new Noob Song is finished! It's about how the noob gets Hayabusa armor.

Update 9/27

Yo

Firefighters Ep. 1 is on Machinima's YouTube page. Click here to see it.

It seems people haven't grasped the concept of the series. It's where/how fans can get involved with their favorite YouTube channel, machinima. And, no, machinima does not need dialogue to be a "machinima." Hopefully in the next one people will understand what I'm doing.

I am also updating our Halo Machinima short, The J in JT. It's intentionally corny and cliche to add to the humor. The machinima is set in a round of multi-team matchmaking, skull and I team up to take out our enemies. They are the reds (snobish brits), the greens (little kids) and the yellows (older southern guys). Combined with awesome camera work and music hopefully you will all be enticed to see what we have in store next for machinima.

thanks,

patfan

Firefighters Episode 1

Yo

The first episode is up. I played with some friends from school, nevster13 and ftgnomes. The next FF episode will be out in a weeks time. Watch the first episode HERE.

-patfan

Update 9/21

Greetings!

One more day til ODST!!

With the coming of that game I can begin making the Firefight videos. For fans who want to get involved just stay tuned through twitter. I'll put a message up in advance telling you to message me with some specific call sign. The reason being so that I can find those messages easily in my inbox and send an invite you way ASAP. I'll put up 2 or 3 tweets prior to when we play giving details. I'll start doing that soon after the game comes out.

As for the album, it'll be out any day now. Tunecore, the site I use to host the songs, say that it'll take 4-6 weeks from when I submitted it. We're on the fourth week now. So when I say any day now, I literally mean that.

Also to recap our future projects;

The J in JT - a short film about a typical day in matchmaking between skullkruncher13 and patfan8326

The Greatest Ever Promotional Video - I posted a preview that you may have seen earlier. It's just a simple promo with some jokes thrown in for you all to enjoy. That release of that video will mark when the album is out.

Fallout 3 Rap
Modern Warfare 2 Rap
Left 4 Dead 2 Rap
WET Rap

....and I'm talking to skullkruncher about making a ODST Rap

That's all for now

Update 9/10/09 New series idea!

Hey

I'd like to start off by saying that I'm going to postpone production of 2 Da Haterz. This is because I just have no heart in doing this video at the moment. I was thinking of having it be fan made and have a contest. The best would be featured on Machinima's YouTube, but that's only a vague idea. Perhaps one day soon.

You guys may have heard of a little game called Halo ODST and of the new game mode Firefight. Well my idea is: I play that with friends, fans, whoever and then when it's over I'll go into theater. I'll record it with cool angles and make it into a nice cinematic experience. Not the most original idea, but it should be cool nonetheless.

Also the album should be released soon, expect an update any moment now.

-White Guys Can Rap TWO

-World at War Beat

Update 8/29

Hey

First off I'd like to mention that we're not doing the Halo Wars Rap or the Ghost Busters Rap. We decided this since they aren't really played that much anymore and that we have bigger better ideas to take place instead.

The first one is a Fallout 3 Rap, pretty straight forward. Another is a sequel to our most viewed video; Left 4 Dead 2 Rap. And for the other video will be a Rap about the new game coming out called WET.

Hope the news gets you all excited for this fall :)

The Dynasty

The Dynasty is up. Check it out here.

Our next video, 2 Da Haterz, will be the next song on our list. It's going to be a machinima unique to all the others out there. It will include footage/clips/gameplay from many games.

Stay tuned with more frequent updates at our twitter page

Patfan

Update 8/20

Yo,

The Dynasty is finally finished and I have submitted it. Soon you will be able to see it for yourselves.

Til then you can watch White Guys Can Rap: TWO. It's what we worked on when we were together (skull and I). It turned out great, check it out here.

Update 8/10/09

Yo

Sorry for the gaps between posts. I've been on vacation more or less for the past 3 weeks. I got back from Maine and skullkruncher came back and we worked on a surprise video. That's basically all we've done over the past month. But we're ready to get back on the train and start pumping out videos. Also about that surprise video, it should be released soon and hopefully you all will like it. Not saying much more about it.

Here's a mock magazine cover I made from photoshop of OXM. Thought you guys would enjoy.

Camper's/Logo

Yo,

Camper's Paradise is now up on YouTube. View Here. It's been recieved well, however the stupidity of the average YouTuber ceases to amaze me. People have gotten into arguements about who made the original etc. Others have said it's a parody of a parody. For Christ's sake People! It's a parody of a song that has happened to be parodied before. Are people really that narrow minded? Also others start calling us noobs about how we camp....ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!? The songs a joke, incase you didn't get that about our previous ten videos or if your just a huge dumbass. We like to touch topics with all our songs. For example Noobz 4 Life - about noobz; The Greatest Ever - ego maniac halo players; etc. And this songs topic is about Camping. People......are stupid.

...phew, those points of course aren't about or directed to our fans/followers they were just a means of me venting and for others to see.

AND, for the logo. The Drama Masks won, so you won't be seeing any change with our logo. However if we decide to sell merchandise, i.e. t-shirts and hats. We'll stick to the skull logo due to copyright/license issues.

Stay tuned, skullkruncher and I will be together in the flesh over the next 3 weeks. Expect A LOT from us. We plan on getting at least one music video done, a machinima series, commentaries for our conflict riddled videos and some real life short films.

Update 7/15/09

Yo

The Godfather Rap is on YouTube. It's a pretty good video put out by us, however it's far from the best. Skull made the beat so we happened to make the music video. Watch it here.

Also Camper's Paradise is up on M.com. On this video we both put much time and effort into it and the final product it quite rewarding. Check it out here.

-patfan

Update 7/10/09

Yo,

For those wondering the Godfather Rap is...well we had the sounds bites from the Godfather movies in the song track. Machinima said that was allowed and now we have a modified version of it on M.com. Watch it here.

Also Camper's Paradise should be up soon, I'll keep ya posted on that topic. If you haven't already check out Coolio's Gangsters Paradise before you watch Camper's Paradise. (picture courtesy of TranceF0rm)

Don't expect much news for about another week until I'm up visiting with skull. I'm going back up to Maine for two weeks and skull and I will indulge ourselves in movie making madness. However both The Godfather Rap and Camper's Paradise will keep you guys entertained until then.

Stay Tuned,

patfan8326

Which logo?

Yo

Remember back when I mentioned that you guys could choose our logo? Well I have two logos, one made by me (patfan8326) and the other by skullkruncher13. You'll probably recognize skull's logo since we've been using it on YouTube and Twitter. But we need an official one and we'll have you all help us decide. Remember to vote on the right hand side :)

The Godfather Rap

Yo

It's up. Click HERE to view.

It's a little out of sync as all our vids are on M.com have been, but it's nothing unbearable. We plan on starting Camper's Paradise tonight and we're going to take a more serious approach with this one. Stay tuned!
