Thanks for the Recordings!! (04th July 2009)


Aww you guys are legendary.

Thanks a bunch for sharing a brief insight to your favourite retro thing in 10 seconds (or more in some cases - which I totally don't mind at all! XD)

I've received 10 entries so far and that's more than enough for this show. Heck I might do Part 2 of this in future and have more entries sent in!

I have messages ranging from all sorts - Forest Gump, Spiderman 1985 cartoon, Thomas the Tank Engine, Power Rangers and even Metal Gear Solid!! You're going to get a bang out of the last one for sure!


Most of the recordings had BGM customised into their dialogue, some even went beyond that and applied a bit of creativity to make it memorable. For the ones that didn't have BGM I've added music relevant to their favourite retro thing to spice the audio up a little. = )

Thanks again and hope to see you all in less than 7 hours time! *thumbs up*





SEND ME YOUR RECORDINGS! (02nd July 2009)


Hey you! Wanna make yourself heard on this week's DJ Darkspeeds show on the retro hour? Well here's how!


<sup>i) Download AUDACITY and make sure you have a PC MICROPHONE/HEADSET (with built-in MIC) to do the recording.

ii) Record a quick intro of yourself (e.g. name, where you're from) and tell us your favourite retro cartoon/TV show/movie/moment. Recordings must be no more than 10 seconds!

iii) Here's an example: "Hi I'm Evan Stanley from the West Coast and my favourite movie of all time is Milo and Oatis!" (Be creative! Add a tune from your favourite retro show during recording to act as BG music! This will spice up your recording!)

Have a blast guys! I'd love to play your entry live on the show! You only got 3 more days to go so do be quick!

Dawn Of New Mobius - Creating a Comic Page (30th June 2009)


Yo! Check this out! Some behind the scenes stuff for my dedicated viewers.





Your support on the 'Dawn Of New Mobius' series has been fantastic so far! Thank you for that.



Happy 18th Birthday Sonic! (30th June 2009)

Yes indeed, he's always been an inspiration to me ever since I immersed myself in Sonic Jam on the SEGA SATURN.

Thanks for the awesome stories, thanks for the timeless journeys; I shall continue to be proactive in the Sonic fandom as well as fans of my own original cartoon and comic series.






Michael Jackson - May you rest in peace.

Here's my mini tribute. The album below is the one I own and the music in that compilation album is quite a blessing.

But yes the news was a shock to the world, totally understandable.





However let's move on people, life and death - that's the way the world works. Cheers Michael for all the wonderful songs and love shared to the world in need.






<sup>Concept preparations of a Sonic Archie Universe fan comic series (One full issue concept consisting of 20 pages - 50% complete)

The Grand ASHWORTH Fortune CHAPTER 9 (BIG CHANGE IN PLANS!!! - Allow me to explain - I have to make a sacrifice to bring the story out in a cost effective manner. In other words I want to focus more on getting the story out than applying high amounts of effort and technique to produce quality pages) Aim: FINISH CHAPTER 9 in SKETCH FORM!!

Concept preparations of 'new series' CLOUD RAIDERS (One full issue concept consisting of 20-22 pages - 15% complete, still in the creative planning process)

Concept preparations of 'new series' GRAND HUNTER (still also in the creative planning process...)

Sonic Adventure 2 Fan-Comic (final 16 pages to go - I lack the motivation to do it at the moment to be honest, I'm more inspired to contribute something back to Sonic Archie Universe for the time being)

Apply for 'Higher Duties Host' position for the brand spankin' new Meridian VIP Room at Burswood Entertainment Complex (potential for a full-time position earning my $55,000 AUD per annum! Oh and if you didn't know kiddies I now work at Perth's premier casino/gaming floor)

Look for a girlfriend - partner? (Very unlikely but am considering for the experience)</sup>






Wow, the feedback I got on 'JustAskMe' was tight. Thank you guys so much for sending in those questions for me to answer! I will be sure to make an update when I publish my next journal! Don't be afraid to send me more! I even got questions via private notes on DA!

I'd appreciate your patience kiddies! Hope my answers will give you greater insight into who I am and what I can offer to the community. Much love to you all!
