Along with that arcade stick I recently picked up (as mentioned a few posts ago) with the little bit of gift-cash that had come my way at the beginning of the month, I also invested in some new video editing software. I was finally able to ditch MS Movie Maker.

I ordered Sony Vegas Movie Studio which came with Cinescore and Architect DVD authoring software.

I went with this program, as I've used Vegas before when it was released by Sonic Foundry, and found it really easy to use. So far this version is very familiar, and has a great layout with nice options. Good enough for my home movies and things like that at least. I'm not looking to produce short films or anything like that

So with my new software I put together a nice little video of me doing incredibly poorly at Taiko Drum Master.



I also learned that I need a non-slip mat under the drum. You may notice at about a minute in I have to turn the drum back to face me. It's hard to tell because of the camera angle, but there was one point I was almost hitting it side-ways, which didn't help my accuracy.

Anyway; enjoy my mediocrity


Ultimate Alliance 2 - I'm moving forward, and have completed the first mission after choosing the anti-registration side.

On the game forums, there was some complaints of glitching, one of which I did experience. I'll be keeping a couple save game files going just to be safe. Aside from that, the game is fun so far. It's not perfect, but it's enjoyable.


In my last post, I put up my review of Secret Agent Clank.
