Marooned: Delays Unleashed

That's right. The force isn't the only thing unleashed this time around (though the unleashing of the force has had it's contribution to the unleashing of delays, respectively). We're almost done, there have just been a few set backs, and they keep piling up. My new goal is Wednesday. I'm hoping to have it all done by Wednesday. You should be glad that Fable 2 and Fallout 3 aren't coming out sooner, 'cause man, we'd have more delays if that were the case. It's gonna be a busy Fall, that's for sure. I had 4 games on pre-order, 3 now, and still just a few episodes to go before the finale, and then it'll be like 5 months before we post new episodes.

Next up, recording! I just wish we had a pair of small-diaphragm condenser mics, though. Monday, if all goes well, we're going to be going into the studio (aka my living room) for our "credits song." Sadly, all we have are dynamic mics, which are good for vocals, guitars, and drums, but not cymbals. The highs don't come through as clear. It'll sound ok, but I'm really picky about this stuff. Either way, I'm excited to get this thing recorded and hear a semi-polished recording of it. Then I'll need to redo the guitars, since the existing track is pretty sloppy, but still on beat, which is all that matters for a scratch track. I still want to go in and add at least some ambient guitars in some parts, just to make it a little more interesting. KISS (keep it simple, stupid) only works so far. I like the technical aspect of things. Anyway. I think that's it. I'm gonna go find that black lightsaber. God bless!
