Film music+Game music and a special sneak peek

Hey everyone, I have some new music, some for the TUa Project, some for my Game project and an extra special piece for an upcoming video for YouTube. But I have something important to say first; I am sorry I posted this up again, especially since it is a pain to upload the music, but I really wanted to let you know that (like I have already mentioned in a Profile Feed post) I am working on something secret by myself. Of course you might be taking this in as a stupid excuse, if so then I defian

I'm baaaaaaack!

So, after spending a day or two moving house and a mere week without internet... *grabs bottle of whiskey*   ...what did I miss?

Ben tries out the HTC Vive - (Finally!)

Over the past week, I attended a course for Animation/Visual Effects, expecting to... well... make an animated project. And while that did happen, something else occurred during that week that took me off guard:   The appearance of the Vive wasn't hinted at or briefly mentioned beforehand, so you can imagine my surprise. And luckily, they set up the headset for people to use whenever they needed/wanted a break, which of course meant I tried it out whenever I could (approximately t

Ben24x7 attempts Time Travel using a Blog Entry

Cirevam, or was it Grapheme, previously posted a topic which came from years into the future. Whilst, as a member of RRU, no such ability exsists...   ...but I think I can do it in a Blog. If this works, welcome to the Blog Post From The Future(TM)... If this doesn't, damn it.   Eh, this is close enough;

A simple mistake in creating game levels

In this blog, I'll be listing a problem in game design and how to (possibly) fix it. So, without further ado, let's begin; Areas the player gets stuck in By "player gets stuck" I don't mean a hard or complicated puzzle, I mean areas where the player can't get out of. These can come in simple forms like, for example, an empty pit with no way out, unless your players remember you included a 'Restart' button, which breaks the feeling of immersion. To find out if your game has any

[PICTURE HEAVY (sorta)] "Zilch Raiders" - Catch-up blog

Hullo again.   So, a few years back, I tried to make a Rock Raiders comic series (named "Rock Raiders know zilch", a title which was explained using the smallest Calvin & Hobbes strip available on the internet) in an attempt to one-up Arthuriel's excellent "Insane Raiders" series (which, due to my minimal sense of humour, didn't work well). Considering the fact I've only made 2 blog posts about "Rock Raiders know zilch" so far, it's pretty clear that I haven't followed up on m

The unnessessary blog post about how to make toast in secondary school/high school

Ever get annoyed by the fact when you arrive at school you either; "Accidentally" brought butter or forgot the ham and cheese then there is a way you can still make the next best thing (well, 'next best thing' for some people); Toast! Here is the easiest way to make toast during school time, wether its lunchtime or that you happen to be in a science classroom at time of realisation; 1. Find a science classroom (unless you already are in one), chemistry will do. 2. Locate the nearest bu

TeeVee Raiders United?

So RRU has reset, causing people to re-post the stuff they have lost in the event...   ...if this happens again in the next two weeks, and then a week or two after that, RRU's subtitle should be turned into "Tee Vee here, at your service".

RRU's 6th Anniversary in a Nutshell

This is for all those people out there who didn't manage to either arrive in time or didn't have a chance to celebrate the 6th Anniversary of Rock Raiders United. So for those who want an explanation of what happened here it is in a nutshell: 1. When there was only two minutes left people counted down the minutes 2. When it came around to 3 'o clock the ShoutBox was filled with colourful balls like this: 3. The colourful balls and flashy balls began to become spammed 4. Shout Box br

I'm being watched

My friend and I where going by our normal business (if normal meant me on the RRU Minecraft server whilst my friend begins writing down the lyrics to Harry101uk's Portal songs) when my friend started panicking. He received an email that lead to this: http://pastebin.com/2mN1MZBn Apparently my private 'conversation' on Steam was now leaked. The one thing that surprised me was that the person decided to add ' [REDACTED] ' over my name (apart from the first sentence, which was left with m

How to excersize your creativity when you have nothing to do

Alright, let's say you are in some sort of situation or place and either feel you have nothing to do or are just bored, you can "excersize" your creativity. First of all, look for something that catches your eye. It could be furniture, architecture, etc. Now you've seen it, think of how you could recreate it in Lego Bricks, you don't really need a pile of bricks in front of you, just use your mind. It doesn't matter if you are thinking in terms of Minifig scale or real life scale, just as l

Ben reviews 'Ratchet & Clank' - The movie, not the game

In recent times, a family member encouraged me to use the last of our free cinema tickets before they expired. After some consideration, I took the opportunity to watch 'Ratchet & Clank', in order to see what the movie industry could do with recreating a single game, rather than a movie about games overall...   Before I begin, I ought to clarify something important: I've never played or experienced a Ratchet & Clank game. You are probably thinking "Ben, seriously? You are

Voice stuff for Game project

For the first time I am actually making progress on a project I post up about! Anyway, This was made into a blog just so I could put a voice clip inside... If you have been flicking through my 'Blender Stuff' gallery you may have found this...: A character for my not-so-going-to-work-out YouTube series which I apparently dumped immediately... Especially since I never (and still haven't) gotten permission from the Office Drones model creator HJMediaStudios. Also I hadn't gotten

My computerfast begins

Right, first off 'ComputerFast' is NOT a word if you are wondering. Second I decided to not do this as a Profile Feed because it would be too long. And three... Urm.... I'll just explain... Starting tomorrow (Friday 14th March 2014) I will not be attending my computer. Lately I have been having troubles in school (not to do with bullying) and my only guess is because of how much time I spend on my computer. This 'Abandoning computer thing' will last until I give up, so if you are going to ask

Aaaaaaand we're back!

Huzzah! RRU is back (but not quite, but hey its back, yet not entirely). So yeah, its nice to be back. I'm currently drafting a blog post containing most of the fun stuff I've made during RRU's absence, but I decided this little gem deserves it own blog (actually, I'm just posting it because that's one less thing to post for the next blog). So tell me, fellow Rock Raider...     What is Rock? Landslides don't hurt me... ...don't hurt me... ...no more..

Ben24x7's Birthday Loot (26/07/2015)

I've noticed people do this before, wether it'd be their birthday, Christmas, or any other special occasion, so when my birthday passed yesterday (at time of writing) I thought I'd give it ago. Do note however I don't have pictures like others do, but I swear what I'm listing is true. Here goes;   Recived (physically); - Four cards (two containing money), Three received from family members from abroad (and by abroad I mean literally right beside Scotland) and one from a friend of my mother's.

The entry that never made it

Very recently I found out about Drill Master's RRU music sign-up and I sent him a PM to join. ApparentlyI was too late and I didn't get in. Anyways, I just made a piece of music in the past half hour and the outcome is this: RRU Composition #01.m4a It was entirely made using no Pre-made sounds and thus is the first of my songs that I fully hand-played. At a few times the Violins start to fall out of sync but it doesn't matter. Enjoy my entry that never will make it. Oh, and Drill Master, if y

The Gaben parable

If 'The Stanley Parable's' protagonist was replaced by Gabe Newell you would get this narration: "Wait a second... ...Did I just see... ...No, thats not possible, I can't believe it. How did I not notice it sooner? You're not Stanley. You're Gabe Newell. *sighs twice* I can't believe I was so mistaken. This is why you've been able to make correct and incorrect choices about Half-Life 3. You may have noticed that this room has begun to deteriorate as a result of Half Life 3 not being release
