Final Review Soon To Come

Last night we finished the audio for Halls of Ballz  and Darth was planning on having the video up soon.  Also coming in the next while are a review of Jump Rope and Crash-up Derby.  LAP Slipstream and I have worked on adding some appropriate humor to  the video's.  Once the video's are posted, please let us know if we succeeded in making you smile or if we have failed miserably.

Blog Interview with Darth Human

I am going to be interviewing Darth Human for this blog and although I have a set of questions I will ask him, if there are any questions you have for Darth let me know and I will include them in my interview.  This will be my first blog interview, hopefully with many more to come in the future, and it will be a good time to ask in-depth or clarifying questions to the Forge Zen: Darth Human. 

You can either post the questions here or shoot me an email: cbevans33@gmail.com with your questions.  I'm interested in probing questions and after spending a few hours forging with Darth the other day I think I have a better understanding of what makes him tick.  Don't be shy, help me make this a quality interview.

What we do when we are not Forging

This weekend LAP Slipstream and I took a break from the digital world and decided to see if the skills we have learned online would translate into the real world. We took a group of scouts out shooting to attempt to earn their rifle shooting merit badges. After a while we felt the need to break out the bad boys and blow things up. Archaic? Backwoods? Perhaps. Here is a peak of what we were doing and the force of explosion that can launch a log into the air when impacted with a .223 round: http://youtu.be/Rdfv_Ssx0U4

Worst Game Ever Played

Last night LAP Slipstream and I were busy working on the daily challenges in Reach and we were talked into playing a map by a friend of ours that was supposed to "challenge" us and provide unlimited enjoyment killing Elites. WRONG!!!

Let me tell you. God Mode is booooring! Really, can you imagine blowing things up with rockets and not being able to be hurt? 20 minutes later it was time to quit. The good news is we are working on some quality screenshots and concepts to enhance this blog and hope to have them in place soon. This will greatly enhance the viewing and readability of this blog and hopefully enhance your visiting experience.

First Review - Bunker Complex

A giant hats off to Oakley Hi Def and his incredible map "Bunker Complex."
Bunker Complex is designed as an invasion game type, but the map is playable on multiple game types. I could see how it could be a great slayer or possible infection map. What do you think? I'm going to keep posting topics and questions until somebody bites and responds!!

Halls of Ballz

You've seen the preview. What do you think? I love the short hall with all the balls coming down at mach 20. you can jump, use your armor shield, or just follow a teammate through the gauntlet. What would you change? Let us know your ideas!

What to expect from this Blog

We anticipate that on this blog site we can answer your questions more fully, get design ideas, explain our vision of forging and also provide some fun and humor.

One of the ideas that we have had is to create some blooper and poop video's associated with the content we have/will post on our YouTube sight. In the near future, w

e will also be spotlighting players who have helped contribute to our maps.
