Yes I'm Still Alive!

Hi all!  I read, with a little bemusement, the comment made on my youtube page recently "I think you're dead now".  Well I can understand why some of you may have thought that, it's been a long time since I've been blogging here or updating on my web page.  But I'm definitely alive and well, and I've just cleared out a few cobwebs ready to give you all some updates.

Firstly, where have I been?  Well I've been having a lot of fun with the Sims 3.  It is soooo much fun!  I have World Adventures and Ambitions, and I cannot wait to get Late night.  I have been experimenting a little with sims 3 machinima - while it doesn't yet have all of the wonderful cheats and hacks available for sims 2 movie making, I have decided that I will definitely create some sims 3 machinima in the future.  I mentioned in a previous blog that I have a sims 3 legacy - it's still going (slowly) and you can read it here.  What about you?  Has anyone been enjoying the sims 3 too?  Any thoughts on the machinima capabilities?

Secondly, I have started to update my Machinima Tips page.  This will probably be a slow process too, but I'll get there ;)  I hope to answer all of the range of questions I regularly receive about making movies on that section of my webpage.

Finally, and most importantly, I have an announcement about Pleasantview.  I'd just like to clarify that while I am definitely interested in Sims 3, I will continue making Pleasantview until I have finished.  I have written 5 seasons of Pleasantview (currently we are in season 3), and if I feel like it I might even write another season.  So ... I am delighted to announce that the next episode is almost finished and will be released soon!  Episode 3.6 is called 'Memories' and features a few characters but focuses mostly on Cassandra.  Here are some pics from the episode:





That's it for now, I promise it won't be long before I release this new installment :)

  5. Ciao Giorgia :) I've only been playing around with the sims 3 if you call that new ;) Many people feel the same way you do about the sims 2 - I myself don't think I'll be letting it go as a movie-making engine for a long time. But in terms of gameplay I prefer sims 3 at the moment. Thanks for your post :D

  6. Hi LIghtmist4 Thanks for your comment :) mmm, I can't tell you about Cass and Don, you're going to have to wait and see ;) Sorry!

  7. I love Pleasantview! I don't think that Cassandra and Don will get back together though... Cassandra would have to be an idiot to like him again. Lol. I don't even hate Don. I hate Angela! I always make Dustin break up with her because she is a brat!

  8. I agree with your point Brandon, but sometimes the heart can make people do silly things can't it? ;) Many people don't like Angela, it seems you either love her or hate her lol! One thing's for sure about Angela and Lilith - they absolutely despise each other!
    Thanks for the comment Brandon :)

  9. I just started watching the series and I liked it very nice! I wonder if your computer can handle all of that custom content at times. There is a teenage sim with blonde hair Angela can flirt with if you dont put her with Dirk. I saw intesine's comment about Tessa and Beau I think that'd be cute lol. Cant wait until this next episode! Im still waiting on that kiss between Daniel and Nina! And im still unsure about that potion-very odd and mysterious. Could we have a little hint of what will happen? Whos Nina talking to in the cafe?
