New website

Hey there. Just wanted to let you know I probably won't be updating any of my Blogspot pages anymore now that I now have an official website.

js-online.net

I'm moving everything over there.

New Extra Credits website and others

It's been a couple days coming, after months in development, but we've finally opened up an official website for Extra Credits. The old Extra Curricular forums and podcasts are still on, but there's also new articles, and a store page that's supposed to open pretty soon. It's under the loose name EC Network, as there will be some future additions EC had in mind.


Also, I've never really been that much of a musician, but I had made a couple mash-ups and re-orchestrations on YouTube before. Now, I've started tackling a project on OC ReMix. Specifically, combining the Neo Cortex boss themes from Crash 2/3. You can check on the progress here.

Thanks!

New blog Delay Constant

I'm pretty bad at making up names, but for this new retrospective blog I decided to name and design it based much on the Half-Life games. Delay Constant is where I will look back on things from my childhood and share them with you through intensive research. Think of it as a personal, written version of The Big Picture if you want.


Enjoy!

New Webcomic

I've been busy these days. Most of it has been on a new continuous webcomic documenting the oddities inside my mind. I've already made 5 comics, so come often or check on our Twitter.

Check out Silent Catalyst sometime!

In other news, expect some cool stuff from Extra Curricular in the future as well. There's already plenty awaiting new viewers of their podcast, including an episode guest starring Dan and James from Extra Credits.

Thanks!

New deviantART profile & Extra Credits group

Hey again. I've had yet another impulse to make something, and this time it was an Extra Credits deviantART group. To do this I made my own account, so I made myself home here.

Around the same time, I got the opportunity to install Anime Studio Debut on my school MacBook and do some stuff with it. I took that opportunity to do a couple EC-related tests with it. The first was an animation of Daniel Floyd's avatar, and the next was a picture of my "Anime Jacob" in the same art style.

Now that I think about it, try to expect something more interesting in the close future.

Thanks!

New Xanatos video CS: The Movie Trailer

Well, I guess this could be considered a retro post considering all the hype in the machinima community that came with its sudden release, but here you go: Xanatos finished a new video and it was released by Machinima.com.

As one of the extras, it was an honor to witness a new Xanatos production in progress, especially since I think there's been too little of it these past 2 years.

New Updates

Hard to believe, especially with my extended absence, that there is a lot of breaking news going on in my world.

First of all, the web series Extra Credits has been picked up by Penny Arcade's PATV, and will debut its latest episode on Wednesday.

I've been helping out in testing the premise of a podcast that will run on Extra Credits' fan website Extra Curricular. Who knows when it will finally be made into a real podcast, but our first tests can be found here. Special thanks to Ikono for everything he did to help out our growing community.

Finally, in the torn apart world of the Janus Syndicate, Xanatos has decided to work on a Counter-Strike: Source parody trailer to commemorate the announcement of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. A mishap has forced a slow in progress, but Xanatos plans to finish it by the end of this week to be released by Machinima.com over the weekend.

Hope to see you later with something interesting!
