So… it’s a good thing I had the song file in that original folder!ĭon’t ask me where I got it because I don’t know and it was probably illegal. However it wasn’t possible to do screen and audio recording at once through the older tech. That got the video in its purest quality! Needless to say I was not able to get the kind of quality I wanted out of this.Īfter a few more attempts, the best solution wound up being a QuickTime screen recording. At first I attempted to record it externally with my iPhone: Thus the true quest to save my magnum opus began. That wasn’t much of a possibility for a computer that hasn’t been updated since 2012.

It all began that night when I opened up the old Mac and watched this animation in Scratch for the first time.Īs it turns out, the only way to pull projects off of Scratch was to go to the program’s website. The journey to get this to you here today was far more complicated than it may appear, however. I even went so far as to put the little floating heads in the sky to represent Sasuke thinking about his past!

It’s incredible to me how I actually grasped the concept of timing scenes to the music so well (mostly). Crunchyroll has it uploaded here for you to see, and I’d recommend doing so to understand how much I tried to replicate. Now for those of you who don’t know, the video is based off the fifth anime opening to the original Naruto series. So much so that I went through a lot of trouble to get the final (though unfinished) animation into a format where you all can see it today. I couldn’t imagine anything good coming out of this animation from 2012 Jason… Yet I was blown away by just how great of a product I pulled together. Not only was there a “fan animation” based on Naruto, it was made in the primitive programming language animator Scratch.īack in the day I used the program religiously, and even made some animations that went into official school broadcasts at Adams Middle School. Flashbacks to a true period of weeaboo sensibilities that left me doing things like watching all of Dragonball, Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT over the course of a few months in middle school. My immediate reaction was a hell of a cringe. In my “fun stuff” folder, I found these three files partitioned off: A project with so much love and passion put into a creative route I’ve since abandoned that it was actually astounding. Sifting through the garbage brought me to something that I ultimately came to refer to as my magnum opus. Oh, and when I say memes, I mean trashy memes all saved up on my desktop. Then I wrote about Armagetron Advanced, a game I really loved playing back in the day.īut I found a whole host of other things from the oughts and early twenty-tens, including elementary/middle school assignments, the first chapter draft of some fantasy novel I tried to write as well as memes or projects that provide a very distinct look at the kind of trash I loved growing up.

wallpapers, which I tried to coincide with the release of Smash Ultimate. My personal favorite so far regarded the Super Smash Bros. It's free, you instantly start playing, the learning curve is quick, and there is infinite room to improve your tactics because there is always someone cleverer than yourself.Ever since I booted up my old desktop Mac a few weeks back, I’ve written a few posts about some of the goodies I pulled out of it. I write this review only because of my surprise this game isn't far more popular.

Ironically most of the kids who play this game weren't even born when the movie came out in 1982. Windows/Unix/Mac all play on the game grid. My only slight complaint is that some are a little discouraging to new players.Īdhering to the overall theme of the movie itself, Tron is played cross platform.

Some of the nicest fellow players I've encountered yet online. That non-violent aspect makes the game light hearted unlike those FPS. Double binding, digging, and maze navigating are skills you gain over the hours/weeks/months of immersive playing. The physics to the tron light bikes are pretty incredible making for a game where experience gives the edge. Not since Ambosia's Avara have I played such an addictive arcade style game online for the Mac.
