:bawl: So sad! Poor, poor Johnny... :crybaby:
You know it's sad, because things like this actually happen in real life. It really kind of hits home to a point. Great job on the newer installments. :clap:
Thank you very much for the feedback, Tenshii. Yes, unfortunately that kind of thing could very well happen, hence even our beloved Strangetown is not immune to such violence.

Thank you for the feedback, Terris! Yes, how sad even our beloved Strangetown is not immune to such a tragedy.

Couldn't agree more. That's partly why I found it so moving too
Just found this, but it's great work In fact I'm taking mental notes 'cause I've got this video project to do for Uni What do you use?
Thank you for the feedback, Sadie79. Great to hear that you're working on a project for Uni. What do I use? You mean what hacks? Well I've hacked my own camera (start off with GunMod's camera hacks, for it is great for most shots, but when you want certain effects for a particular shot, then hacking the camera further is what I like to do). I use weapons from Vampcat and Palidin. I make ample use of Paul's Reaction Tester, as well as the Insimenator, and posing hacks from Decorgal and animation boxes from JD. I made hacks of my own, but I'm no where near as good as Hackers on this site, Maty and MTS2 are, so I won't be releasing them until I know they won't cause people's games to explode. Oh yes, and don't us Windows Movie Maker, I mean I used it for the first movie, but found that just about any movie editing software(Pinnacle, Adobe, Sony) is better than movie maker. Have I answered your question? If you need help, I'll be happy to share what little I know.

Oh yeah, I can imagine Strangetown being boring, only because there are no braindead soap-opera storylines. Riiiight...
Actually, it's my favourite Maxis hood, since it houses the most memorable characters and has quite a few offbeat stories attached to it, more so than any other Maxis hood. (Last time I played a game in Pleasantview I ended up killing at least half the population off. Yes, I think a great deal of its inhabitants are that dull.)
Anyhoo, back on topic - you've done a stellar job on those videos, Joe. It did break my heart seeing Ripp Grunt being pummelled by Buzz, though...:(
Amen, Cynarablade! The lack of braindead soap-opera storylines was precisely why Strangetown became my favourite hood from the first time I played them, and why I'm making a movie series there. If General Buzz constantly rolled wants to sleep with anything with a pulse, I would have been bored with it, but thankfully Buzz would rather do more interesting things than bounce beds.
Thank you very much for the feedback. Yes, unfortunately General Buzz's (and Tank's) treatment of Ripp prompted me to drop satellites on them more than once. Good job in the actual game family members can't pummel one another, for that would make the SIMs game too hard to play. I wouldn't mind seeing Don Lothario get his though.

Well, I meant what movie editor/s you use. I tend to use Premiere - ironically I'm getting on better with my video project, which I thought I was worse at, but no. Haven't played much with After Effects, but I've been taught Motion, which I love despite it being for the Mac :P Took a look at Movie Maker and looked away again :lol: I'll most likely be sharing my finished work on YouTube fairly soon, just for some feedback since I'm just starting out. I can imagine something like this would take ages to get done though.
ETA: Just seen the update - I nearly cried during the first part, it touched a raw nerve since I've been through grief myself :sad5:

Believe it or not, in the earlier episodes, I used Windows Movie Maker, but when I heard people saying how bad it is as an editor, I switched to Sony Vegas. I tried Adobe Premiere, and one of my co-authors animated a few sequences for me in Flash, but I must say, Sony Vegas is my favourite.
Glad you enjoyed the chapters, and yes, I had help writing those especially tear-jerking sequences, as my co-author Avatar Arkmage habitually made grown men cry in the Harry Potter universe (Remembrance and Renewal is the name of the fanfic), I knew he was just the man to approach when writing Strangetown Conspiracy. Hope you enjoy the latest chapter.

I certainly did! Great stuff! :D ... and a few chapters ago you inspired me to rescue Strangetown from the depths of my own program files, check out the characters myself and consequently get a load of my own ideas! :laughing: Not as thrilling or intense as yours, just different... Ripp's fast become a favourite of mine, I have to say - he's adorable! :love2: One look through his memories and relationships (and those of involved sims), and I was left wanting to give the poor guy a big hug, I felt so sorry for him :(
