January 2011 Update

Hopefully, none of you thought my "2011" announcement for UKM5 meant "January 2011". That wasn't my intention. I have been working on the project this past month, though. Pumped out a whole minute for a mini music video that I worked on during Christmas break. After I finish every scene for this project, the idea of UKM5 being a ten-minute video is beginning to sound closer to impossible--for my imagination, at least. Sorry, but anyone who asks for another sequel after this deserves to get slapped. I can't ever see myself making a sixth...

One of the two other projects I mentioned in the hiatus announcement video is still planned to be done. The other will probably never start because the Black Mesa mod will never come out, at this rate. Shame on me for thinking that they'd release it by 2011...



I had to remind myself recently that producing machinimas is simply a hobby of mine, not a job. This isn't a concept that I should have to reintroduce to myself constantly, but it's hard to think of it as an interest when some of my followers impatiently demand more like I'm supposed to be a supplier of their Gmod entertainment or, in other words, a tool. When I pump out something that isn't UnKnown Moments, some of those fans then disrespect my work and continue on demanding something related to UKM. That sort of crap makes me want to stop this hobby because I feel like I'm being pressured and rushed. It's why I lost interest in video-making since mid-2010.

After all these months, I'll have you know, no disrespect, that I couldn't care for my fans' demands anymore. I'm doing what I want to do. Any subscriber of mine who disagrees with that is not a fan worth having. My mistake in the past was that I gave in to those demands, because having fans was completely new to me. My "uprise" in popularity didn't leave me as an egotistic douchebag or thinking to myself that I'm hot shit. Just respect what I want to do. This shouldn't be something I need to clear up.
