Skitch Q&A #1

Just a quick little Q&A Video I shot today to answer some questions that have built up over at the Forums at TGWTG.com, on my Youtube account, and otherwise. 🙂 Not too many for this first video, but feel free to ask more questions, and I could even make this a daily thing if there’s enough demand! And apologies to Lunaboy, I should’ve also noted that I’m not much of a lyrics person, so even if I was writing a more pop/rock song, Lyrics are something that I probably wouldn’t be involved in writing myself…yet. 🙂 If you want to ask questions, either comment below, check out the YouTube version, or visit my group at TGWTG.

A new member entering the household, gaming wise…

…thanks to a incredible deal I stumbled across while talking with friends, I’ll soon have an authentic Japanese 8-bit system in the house! 🙂

Specifically, the Sharp Twin Famicom, which will make it significantly easier for me to play and hear games from the Japanese Famicom (and Famicom Disk System) side of things in their true element!

Plus, the particular model I’m getting has built in turbo controllers! Hopefully it all works, and I’ll be able to put forth an update when the product arrives!

HUGE thanks go to JewWario for advising me around this acquisition. 🙂 Now I’m fully able to play all the retro Japanese Nintendo games I could want!

I have a Famicom Title (Akumajou Densetsu), but I don’t have any Famicom Disk System titles to test the console with when it gets here…any recommendations, or anyone willing to offer a disk for me to test with? Thanks for any and all help! 🙂

SpoonyOne’s Strike Commando Review, Featuring new intro music!

Noah Antwiler/Spoony One’s new review, featuring my version of his intro music. It was premiered during the TGWTG Donation Drive on Dec. 5th (my birthday!), which was a great show all around.

Oh! BTW: You should Donate at TGWTG.com, and vote for SpoonyOne as Funniest Person to Follow!

Piano is secured, sir!

The Yamaha upright is installed and good to go! Chances are that I’ll have to get it tuned in the next few weeks, but otherwise I can’t wait to record some music off of it! 🙂

MAGFesta Added to "Original Works For Clients"

That song I might have done for Sean Fausz the other day?  You might be able to listen to it on its own over in the music player section now. 🙂

Enjoy, and feel free to leave feedback on it, or any other track I have featured on the site!

MAGFest time! (In a month, that is)

MAGFest is rapidly approaching, and it’s looking to be an awesome time.  Sean Fausz, a friend of mine and contributor at ThatGuyWithTheGlasses is going to be there, and even made a video showing off many folks who’ll be attending as well.  It’s worth a watch!

Oh, and I might’ve written the background music for it…just maybe. 😉

Enjoy!

Piano might be on the way! Until then…get the vote out!

I think a little 8-bit ‘piano’ action is called for to celebrate this pleasant turn of events!  When the new Yamaha Upright is in the house, I’ll see about posting up some pictures of it or something, but that’ll have to wait for later. 🙂

There’s a new song added under “Originals Works for Clients,” entitled “Last Call at the Pixel Palace.”  It’s a work that I did for the folks at That Guy With the Glasses, so be sure to go over there and show them some love.

EDIT/UPDATE:

In fact, you should probably vote for some of the folks there for the Mashable Open Web Awards.  Specifically, by request of them, vote for The Angry Video Game Nerd for Best Online Video Web Series, and The Spoony One for Funniest Person to Follow!

So for now, listen, comment, and VOTE!

Probable Future Updates, and the Quest for a Piano!

I’m going to be adding some new music to the site later on this week as I complete out a few arrangements and works for some friends.  When I do so, I will keep you all updated as well.  This week I’m going to get at least a written article together for the first installment of Famicom Fridays, and later on I’ll likely try to do video renditions of the text articles (sometime when it’s not Thanksgiving week, naturally!).

Other than that, in the realm of other musical excursions, I’m on the hunt for an Upright piano for the home, and if all goes well, a new one might be in place within the next few weeks!  If it does happen, I’ll likely post pictures, and do some other sort of post to commemorate the event, but until then…stay tuned! Or would it be better to say ‘stay in tune’…no, that’s a horrible pun.

Quick update!

Now ‘blog.skitchstudio.com’ redirects to here, and I’ve expanded the page to make reading and posting a bit more comfortable.

Feel free to comment on the site’s layout, as well as the content of the music player to the right!

There will be more on the way in the near future!

Welcome!

This blog is currently under construction, and soon should be fully working as “blog.skitchstudio.com,” once the DNS records and such clear up…good times. 😛

Until then, “skitchstudio.blogspot.com” will have to suffice. I’ll be posting up some new info over the weekend, so stay tuned!
