In This Blog: FishHook Explains Absences and Advertises a Production Group on the Blog of Another Production Group

Hello, Kidnappers and Kidnappees! I do apologize for the long absence from the KBN network, but I just haven't had anything to write about. I really haven't bought a ton of budget games recently (or any games, to be honest), but that has recently changed as my local video rental shop is holding a closing sale and I've gotten a ton of good and not so good stuff from there on a budget. So, until that dries up, I should have a semi-decent amount of material to write Trash and Treasure on. I've got three that I'm looking at right now in particular, the first one should be up in a manner of days, maybe a week.

Anyways, that's not why I'm here. I'm here because we have new sponsors and if I blog enough, HeadNinja will give me Highspots' money...OK, not really, but do visit our new sponsors Highspots.com so that KBN can make money and stay afloat. I'm actually here because I want to advertise my new Youtube page and "production company", Machinery Making Modern Music Productions. I realize it's a long title (which is why I usually shorten it to 4M when I discuss it), but anything that's a reference to Tenacious D when they reference Rush is certainly great success. For those out of the loop, watch the concert on Tenacious D's Complete Masterworks Volume 2, specifically the song The Metal. It's just a little comment Jack Black makes, but I think it's pretty hilarious.

The long and short of it is that as a future telecommunications major in college, I'm very interested in the creation of media: television, radio, short film, etc. 4M will basically be the banner that I will post all of my various class projects and all of the other stuff I do under. The first of these are the videos from the class that inspired me to be a telecommunications major: the Mass Media class at my high school, which is basically a loosely organized class made pretty much just to produce the announcements you hear every morning at school over the PA, except we do them on closed circuit television over the school. Although that's our primary goal, we've also produced a couple of commericals for class projects and for other purposes, such as advertising sign-ups for the Mass Media class next year and various school plays and whatnot. These videos will be going up under the 4M banner on the Youtube page I created.

And now, I present to you...the MV94 News Team videos. There's only 3 thus far, and I'll post 2 of them here. First of all, there's the intro for the news show, which features the entire team and gratuitous use of STAN HANSEN THEME SONG (which I selected as our theme, conveniently forgetting to mention it was a pro wrestler's theme):



Secondly, there's the commerical/skit made to advertise signups for the Mass Media class. This one may not make sense to the masses, as there's a lot of inside jokes:



Well, that's basically it for now. If I have any more stuff, I'll let you guys know and show it off here. We're working on a short film about high school security, that'll probably be next to be posted. I'm very open to praise, criticism, suggestions, and anything else you'd like to add. Also, if you wish to subscribe, please do so at youtube.com/MachMakModMus (and trust me, there will be more than school projects on here eventually, so don't be offput by my first two offerings). By the by, that URL is VERY screwed up, as I needed to shorten Machinery Making Modern Music and I hadn't thought of the very simple "4M" shortening, so I shortened each individual word. "MachMakModMus" sounds like machs (like robots or something) making a modified moose. Which sounds...awesome, and may or may not be the logo.
