Merry Christmas and all that...

What's up viewers? Happy holidays, I hope you guys are enjoying them as much as I am. And I obviously have been as I've been too busy to get a damn project on here. I've been putting in the hours at my job, even had to work on Christmas, which I spent at my parent's place with the whole massive Mervin family. Also got to go sledding and play some ice hockey at an arena. It's been awesome. For Christmas I got some great new games such as Call of Duty 5, Left 4 Dead, and Prince of Persia, alongside many other things including scuba gear for our Mexico trip, jeans, shirts, microsoft points, a watch, a belt, and even a box of Froot Loops cereal, my favourite.

Then on Boxing day I went out and purchased a new Samsung 32" flatscreen HD TV. It's awesome, and means that now videos will be much easier to make since I should beable to run the feed through my TV instead of having to run it directly into my computer as I had to before. I'm slowly making progress on the Mind Snare Machinima, but since it's so time consuming, I'm going to release my Mind Gouge Walkthrough before it, just so you guys got something to watch. I'll also have to redo my Work Space video since it got removed for a copyright violation (I used Enter Sandman and didn't give credit). It seems that Metallica is cracking down on the use of their songs on the net as one of Digitalph33r's movies was also removed for using one of their songs. It's not a big deal though, it won't be very hard to re-edit the video and upload it on my SavageShoreCreations account.
I hope that it was because I didn't give them credit that it was taken down, because if videos are violating copyright laws by having songs in them which haven't had their rights purchased, regardless of whether they're given credit or not, then half of the videos on Youtube will be removed. I know that this is the case for videos of which a profit is made from, but most Youtube videos are non-profitable, and so should be exempt. For more on this you can watch DigitalPh33r's Guide to Making Halo 3 Machinima : Part One, where I believe he touches on this subject in the second half of the video.

Anyways, I doubt that it'll be much of a problem, as my only other video that doesn't give credit for a song in it is my Recluse Mansion video which uses the song "Requem for a Dream". This video is also on my old account so the plus side of this will be that if "Recluse Mansion" gets removed too then I'll have all my videos under one account.

Happy Holidays, and keep an eye out for my Mind Gouge video, which will be released soon.
