Off Topic / Voiceover :3

« on: February 01, 2017, 02:10:36 PM »

Hi guys! Not sure if any of you remember me, but I'm a relatively old BL'er, and I used to do some occasional voice-related things around this community. So I just wanted to share with you guys that I've just launched my professional voiceover website! I've been hammering away at this voice thing for a while now, and I'm thrilled to have all this branding and demo material presentable at last.

Check it out!

Off Topic / Starting my voiceover career this summer! [EDIT: New recordings!]

« on: May 31, 2016, 02:19:02 PM »

Hey BLF fam! It's been a minute.

I'm working in LA this summer, and putting professional effort into getting my voiceover career started! I wanted to let my favorite community know, if you need any voiceovers done for videos, projects, whatever, I'd be happy to help out!

I cite Bones4 and Facechild for references—I'm a delicious and beautiful soul to work with.

Off Topic / I'm not a teenager anymore :|

« on: April 20, 2015, 02:27:44 PM »

I know I haven't been super active around here lately, but I just wanted to let you all I'm 20 years old today. I've been a blocklander for...7 or 8 years and it feels REALLY weird to say that I'm 20. Have a great 420, everyone!

it am me

Off Topic / I went on tour with a band last weekend.

« on: January 20, 2015, 04:17:20 PM »

Had the pleasure of joining SoCal ska band The Skariginals on a real short tour up from Los Angeles to the Bay Area this weekend. Spent one night in bum forget nowhere Merced, played a really long set, and partied extensively that night.

Next day, we headed to Berkeley and played at 924 Gilman! Footage from that show linked below, note the bitchin drum solo. Visited Stanford that night, then went by Monterey Bay yesterday for clam chowder and adventures on the beach. Got back last night!

Footage from 924 Gilman

Had some fans from Fresno drive all the way out to see us in Merced, that's me with the hoodie on, I gave my drum sticks to the little girl. She was dancing the whole show.



Great weekend, guys, just wanted to share.

Off Topic / 5 years since Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan died — made this drum cover for him.

« on: December 28, 2014, 11:11:55 PM »

The drummer of Avenged Sevenfold died five years ago today. He was a tremendous inspiration for my playing, and I made the last minute decision to shoot this cover today. I hope I did the track justice, and that Jimmy might forgive some liberties I took in playing this song.

Sidewinder, from City of Evil.

Cheers, guys. Thanks for always taking a look at my videos when I share them, means the world. This one especially.

Games / Steam Account Trade Scam Warning

« on: December 08, 2014, 02:56:45 AM »

I know these are nothing new, I just wanted to keep you all posted on the latest almost clever attempt to phish steam accounts. Here is the message I received. Note the URL he sent—steammommunity.com instead of the legitimate steamcommunity.com URL.

I did not click the link. I've reported the profile, but just in general, be smart about this stuff. Obviously. Best wishes, everyone!

Off Topic / I produced a musical!

« on: November 26, 2014, 07:56:28 PM »

This is probably the biggest project I've undertaken in my life. This show was over a year in the making, was produced on a $650 budget, and was designed and performed entirely by youth under the age of 23. I was the producer. It ran for two weeks in June, and we filmed the whole thing.

Check it out.

It was put on by the theatre non-profit organization I'm currently running, based in Seattle. If you're, for whatever reason, interested in the organization as a whole, check out our pretty website.

Off Topic / Clickbait Headline Generator - You won't believe what happens next!

« on: November 17, 2014, 09:56:38 PM »

http://community.usvsth3m.com/generator/clickbait-headline-generator

This is too much fun—it's also alarmingly aligned with real articles being pumped out by the likes of BuzzFeed, Upworthy, etc...

23 Toothbrushes That Look Like Rihanna!

Best part is, it'll generate a fake webpage for the articles with a random stock image. Sometimes the images line up well with the headline, sometimes it's just confusing.

Off Topic / [MEGATHREAD] Scary, Gross, Creepy, Thrilling Stories

« on: September 24, 2014, 03:47:33 AM »

Hi guys! I'll make a fancier OP at some point, but I wanted to start the exchange of some of the best stories around the internet. This was spurred by a recent binge on /r/nosleep. Please share only the best of the best here, whether that be scary, gross, or just downright creepy. To save scrolling (unless the story is relatively succinct), please link to stories and provide a brief general overview of the subject of the story (please no spoilers). I'll start with a couple stories, please use this same format for your shared stories. Stories can be either personal experiences carefully written out, or stories from reputable authors. Please no quick accounts of something "2spooky4me" where you saw a door move on its own. That's bullstuff and you know it.

Hi guys! For one, I'm moving to LA from Seattle on Friday for school and stuff. Tonight I've managed to have a few drinks, and I will now answer any questions you fine people have for me.

But first a few questions from me:
