So... I've been a slacking Mofo. I apologize... AH! That's Awohali talking, not me!
I'm currently NOT on AIM, even though I should be, to try to earn back my vote in the chatting challenge. Jenny's going to win it, though, so it's not a huge deal. I'm deigning to not sign on AIM tonight because I've been trying to read through all of Saul Alinski's writings (Interesting stuff, even though I disagree with him on basically every conceivable notion concerning politics) and I haven't sat down to read in three days now :/
So what have I done lately? Well, I just made a torch out of ducktape and a metal pole for the video that I just shot outside at 1 AM... It's currently uploading to Youtube, so I'll get that posted ASAP! I'm planning on moving forward with my live action idea, and the stop animation will be both supplemental to that story line and as a way to reenact game events and special moments.
Speaking of special moments... I really feel like so far, the cast hasn't connected like it did in Spies 7. Maybe it's because I'm not as social a character, but I feel like there aren't nearly as many in jokes or running themes in this game as there were last game...
Speaking of people's identities (Sam, don't hate me for this!!) I think that Mary is Spies7Vladimir, that Gertrude is Spies8Beatrix, Cory is Spies7Sophi, and there are a few others I want to comment on but don't feel confident enough about them to do so yet. Those are the ones I've felt good about for a while, so there you go ; D Also, I'm pretty sure that I accidentally found out via Facebook that Chance is Spies6Ariel because within 5 minutes of making a post saying he was back from out of town in the Spies8 forums, he made a status update on Facebook saying essentially the same thing -_- Facebook is bad!!
I don't intend to ever use accusations, but if there's a tight vote and someone I suspect is someone I think I've figured out, I won't hesitate to go for it. Call it cheap, (It kind of is) but the Spies must be eliminated!

I love these videos! How did you make that torch? It looked so real. I always laugh once or twice when watching them haha.
As for your super secret special project... I know that stop animation takes forever and a half. Hours and hours to produce even a minute of footage. Maybe a project like that would be better suited for after the game when there's unlimited time? There's a finite amount of time for you in the game, and with your busy schedule and laziness affliction, I don't want you to miss out on the actual game because of this haha.

Haha, thanks! I taped a BUNCH of duct tape to a metal pole and lit the tape on fire... It actually burned really well... It was hard to get it to light at first, but once it got going, it started going crazy... Youtube advice is FTW ; D
And yeah... That might be what winds up happening... If I could just turn my phone off and ignore all friends for a week, I'd have enough time to play the game a lot and still manage to get an animated video done, but as things are, I barely have enough time to play the game as much as I want to :/
I shall work something out, though, maybe just a 30 second fun clip or something.
