My posts are becoming more and more frequent...

Anyway, exam results! I have (I think) 11 GCSEs, a Diploma (worth 7 more GCSEs) and an AS Level. All passes, 4 As and 2 A*s. So I did really well!

EDIT: In other news:

*My headphones (which you'll remember I broke) are now repaired. I've resumed making POM2 songs and may make an album, so that's really helpful to me.
*I am now officially a brony. Yes, you heard me.
*I go back to school on Tuesday. I look forward to making new friends, panicking over homework, being nagged for forgetting to charge my phone etc.
*YouTube F1 Season 3 has started! W00T!
*Not long until Madness Day, and the release of my MSC collab with ToastedToastyToast.

Such fun! ^^

Going on holiday today, for two weeks. That means the MSC Collab (and the umpteen other things I have going on at the moment) are on hold for now. Sorry about that.

I'll be back...actually, scratch that. I'm back.

Let's get my depressive rant off the front of my user page, eh?

As you know, a little while ago I announced a collab with ToastedToastyToast, in which we would make a scene creator together. This would remove all the coding issues I've been having over the years, as he'd be doing the coding and not me.

Well, with two months to go until Madness Day, we're finally getting things underway. I've compiled an .fla full of stuff to go in the scene creator and I'll be sending it to him shortly. If you guys have any requests for things to include, now's the time to tell me.

EDIT: I'm also beta testing ToastedToastyToast's new game. I dunno what it's called but it involves robots.

EDIT 2: ToastedToastyToast's created a forum for he and his buddies to hang out in. If you wanna sign up and earn some khama here's the link. I've already signed up, so feel free to.

EDIT 3: I've been flicking through the reviews for MSC4. It has a 9.51/10 review score, which is absolutely amazing. The support I have from my fans is incredible; there's a large number of reviews that just say "Make MSC5!". So you know what? After this collab with ToastedToastyToast is out of the way, I reckon I'll start work on MSC5 early. See if I can get it to you guys as a Christmas present ^^

I'll update you guys soon.

I'm seriously starting to worry about my mental state. My sister keeps yelling at me about this, that, and the other, about every little thing I do or don't do. I've told her about my mental condition before, but I reckon she just thinks I'm making excuses, that I'm making it up. Everyone in my family seems to think that. But I'm not.

Just now she was going off on one about me not getting a job (this site IS my job, dumb bitch), and about me not clearing away my leftovers after breakfast. So I got pissed and hurled my headphones at the floor and now they're broken. It's like my Game Boy Color all over again.

I'm worried that sooner or later I'm going to lose it completely and do something mental. Or violent. Or both.

I just needed to get this shit off my chest. Thanks to all you guys for sticking by me.

EDIT: Ooh, 10000 medal points! That oughta help cheer me up! ^^

EDIT 2: It's brilliant stuff like this that keeps me sane. Go watch them. They are brilliant.

EDIT 3: Got pissed off with Need For Speed: Underground last night and hurled my controller at the floor. Nearly broke it. Now I'm banned from computer games for the whole weekend (I'm assuming that includes NG, so...bye ^^')

There's so much stuff going on at the moment, I feel I just have to share it with you guys. So here goes...(deep breath)...

Firstly, as you may be aware, today is Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th anniversary. Being the huge Sonic fan that I am, I decided to celebrate by making an AMV...about Sonic's darker side. Well, actually, I made the AMV back in February/March and only submitted it today. Anyway, here it is:

[UPDATE] The prom went on until about midnight, I got home at 1am T.T I've only just woken up and I still feel tired. Still, it was fun: I danced, I drank J2O, I set fire to pretzels then ate them ^^

{UPDATE 2] Summer of Sonic 2011 turned into a real bummer...because we didn't pre-register tickets (we were on holiday at the time), we had to queue up to get in. We got there expecting a small queue...it was MASSIVE! We waited an hour before deciding to call it a day. So thank you, TSS. Thank you for nothing.

Team Shadica has a new member! Which reminds me...check out our website ^^

My upcoming updates for MMSC1/2/3 may include graphical updates, changing the old style of heads/bodies for new ones. I may also change the background image; I drew it four years ago and it's starting to look rather crappy.

I think that's about it.

[UPDATE 3] Moar news! Here's a crazy idea I've been thinking about...MMSC5 on your iPhone/iPad! Think about it...you can take the Madness with you wherever you go, and I actually make money from it! Everybody wins! Sure, I can barely handle ActionScript, let alone whatever form of coding the App Store uses - plus I don't have the tools, and they're probably really expensive - but it's a good idea, right? I even did a mock-up of how it might look, using PowerPoint:

Do you guys like my new profile picture? It looks a bit more professional, and makes Mystery look a bit more original. Also I didn't make it in MS Paint for a change XD

Anyway, there are two BIG milestones slowly approaching:

*First, as of today MMSC3 is currently on 432,500 views. Soon, it'll reach the magic 500k mark.
*Second, in September next year MMSC1 will celebrate its fifth anniversary.

And throughout it all, the support I've been getting from you guys has been amazing. I want to thank you all.

So, whichever milestone is achieved first will be celebrated with a BIG update for my first three scene creators (that's MMSC1, MMSC2, and MMSC3). What's included in the update is a surprise, but if you guys have any suggestions for improvements I'd be happy to hear them.

For now, though, it's back to Fable III. See you all later! ^^

EDIT: Can people PLEASE stop spamming my comments pages with links to indecent videos! I DON'T WANT TO WATCH THEM (I'm not interested in solo porn, since it's not really porn). I don't care if someone's paying you to do it, it's spam, it's annoying, and since I'm only 16 it's technically illegal for me to watch them. Thank you.

Late last year I posted a "What's Coming in 2011" news post, detailing my upcoming projects for this year. Six months on, I figured it would be good to give you guys an indication of how they're getting on.

*MADNESS SCENE CREATOR 5
As you may know, this plan has now changed; instead of making MMSC5 this year I'm doing a collab with tri-circle (now calling himself ToastedToastyToast). My personal intention is to learn new techniques from the collab in order to make MMSC5 for real next year. We've barely started work on the collab, but worry not; I'm sure we'll be able to complete it by Madness Day (at least, that's the intention).

*GP4 CRASH COMPILATION
My GP4 crash compilations are still going strong. Since December I've submitted five new crash compilations; my latest video, GP4 Crash Compilation XI, can be seen here.

Season 2 of YouTube F1, with PhoenixFirebreath, ended last week. To watch all the races from both seasons of YouTube F1, and to read more about Phoenix and my other YouTube friends, click here.

*PIXEL ART
I've created 16-bit versions of 12 Formula One cars from the 1990 season, but I haven't bothered to submit them yet; I'll do that some other time.

*SONIC THE HEDGEHOG RETURNS
My SatAM/Archie fanfiction is still in the works; I've started work on four episodes but I haven't finished any of them yet. On the other hand, Mystery: Ultimate Darkness, a collab with my friend, is well underway. I'm submitting an episode to deviantART every Saturday, and since today's Saturday, I've just uploaded a new episode. Check out the episodes so far here.

*TEAM SHADICA
Again, not much else to say, really. Check out our website though. Its visitors seem to find it kinda useful ^^

That's it. Now, I'd better get going. Portal 2 awaits!

Except for three exams, and my prom (23rd June, same as Sonic's 20th anniversary, which sucks), my time is now my own. This means I can get to work on my MSC collab with tri-circle (now calling himself ToastedToastyToast).

Also, the first part of Mystery: Ultimate Darkness has just been released on deviantArt! Go check it out! It's a bit of a long read, but it's good ^^

I've just been trawling the Internet out of interest, and found at least four sites hosting my games without my permission. Worse, at least one has been passing them off as their own and not mine. I'm not amused.

Now, I don't mind other websites hosting my games. What I do mind is them taking the credit for making them. So I'm taking action. Watch this space (and several others)

Just a few things.

Firstly, after this week I have a two-week Easter holiday, then a bunch of bank holidays (thank you Wills & Kate!), then I go onto a reduced timetable, then finally on May 25th I finish school for good. That gives me more or less THREE WHOLE MONTHS to work on my project with tri-circle. So good news!

Secondly, I intend to start finally writing my Sonic fanfiction over the holidays. Mystery: Ultimate Darkness, a collab with a friend of mine featuring both our characters, will start being uploaded on deviantArt in May, followed by Sonic the Hedgehog Returns (my SatAM/Archie Comics fanfic), then ultimately Mystery: The Legion, my own personal fanseries focusing solely on my fancharacters. Can't wait.

Thirdly, I posted my latest crash video on YouTube. It's a collab between me and PhoenixFirebreath, and it's awesome.

Finally, I commend Tom Fulp for his elaborate April Fools prank, which succeeded in confusing me.

So, yeah. That's what's been happening at my end.

Also, a Final Fantasy VII walkthrough. Just for the sheer awesomeness of seeing sped-up footage of a cross-dressing Cloud being chased round a room by a bunch of pervs, while the Benny Hill theme music plays. I BOW BEFORE MY OWN AWESOMENESS.
