Takers, anyone?

I'm still taking requests for my Second Santa storyline. In the meantime I have Modern Warfare 3 and Xbox Live to tend to. Am I going to Bitch Bitch Bitch about it? Not really. No, there's nothing that new about the game in comparison to MW2 but nothing horrible, obviously. If there were something horrible I'd think there wouldn't be 100,000+ people playing at the same time in the same type of match. So there you go: MW3 = MW2 + A Few New Features

Speaking of 100,000, I have 196,373 views on this site now since its birth. Yippee. *cue firework*

Bitch Bitch Bitch: The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

This is even shorter than the last one because I can only come up with three words after approximately two decades of listening to this particular man sing songs of nostalgic value to me:


WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

Bitch Bitch Bitch: Switch

This edition of Bitch Bitch Bitch involves a transgendered-themed movie called Switch.

I'm going to keep this as brief as I ultimately can because I don't remember much from the movie, though I do remember a few key spots here and there.

Switch (Jimmy Smits) is a 1991 film starring two people you'll never see in movies again and has Lorraine Bracco in it for some reason (Perry King and Ellen Harken) and the title pretty much explains the premise: a man-whore is killed by scorned woman, and he is reincarnated as a woman. There's a scene where he tries punching a burly woman (as a woman) and ends up getting his ass kicked and there's also the child-birthing scene that I can recall but nothing else note-worthy.

Simply put, this movie is supposed to be a comedy but there was nothing remarkable or even funny in the movie. Again, I'm basing this off of one viewing some 7-8 years ago. Before I looked it up, I could have sworn it was a black comedy of sorts that was more black and no comedy.

If you get the Mystery Science Theater 3000 joke I made here, you get an ethereal high-five.

Second Santa Story #2- Shawn

This is for Zerakis. Enjoy. :)

Second Santa Story #1- Charlie

This is for wishtobepreg at the Haven. When I'm not too pissed off to scale it down to a size that won't compromise the caption, it'll also be there as well.

Merry Christmas to all who may celebrate it. :D

On a sad note, I don't have a caption to post to commemorate the holiday. I am, however, still accepting requests for my Second Santa storyline.

The Second Santa storyline consists of this premise: For those TG boys and girls in the holiday cheer, a lesser-known, more discreet and suffice to say superfluous Second Santa comes down and makes their innermost desires come true. The methods of change depend primarily upon who's being changed-- for example, if that person wants to become a woman in realistic terms, Second Santa would give them hormones, corsets, etc; on the flip side, if that person wants to become a woman full time through a bodysuit, one would be provided for him (or her should she desire a wiener) through Second Santa. And so on and so forth for basically any theme you could imagine.

I'll be taking requests here (via comments), on Formspring and within the Haven. Look for me in these places. There's no deadline (even though the storyline takes place on the evening of December 27th).

Have a Merry Christmas!

Discouragement

I recently made two captions for two of the members of the Haven but because of the limit on file size at the site in question I wasn't able to upload either one. So now I'm kind of pissed and discouraged from making captions for the time being.

The caption's theme was Second Santa Day. Ever wish Santa dropped something....special....off for you? That's what Second Santa does on the eve of December 27th. Who is Second Santa? No one knows. But he or she leaves transforming gifts for those who are even slightly curious about the female gender.

Is there a gift you want Second Santa to bring to your home this holiday? Comment below and I'll see if you can be part of

THE SECOND SANTA STORIES

Note: I might be late in delivering the final product. It'll reach the Haven first before it hits here.

Bitch Bitch Bitch: Pomplamoose's Cover of "September"

For those of you who aren't in the know, Pomplamoose is an indie music duo comprised of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn. They have a Wikipedia page despite me never hearing of them before.

Now I say I haven't heard of them before because I seriously haven't until they were featured in a Something Awful article. Then I did research on them via the Wikipedia article I've already made a link to and found out that they also did 2010 Hyundai Christmas commercials. Back then I've thought of the both of them (who I thought were just commercial jingle singers) as bland and boring with the woman's voice sounding like she's yawning rather than singing. That's what kills me about most supposedly 'indie' songs sung by women: a vast majority of them sound like they're yawning. This is one such example.

Recently, I've watched their video for their cover of a band I can't remember right now's song "September" and, needless to say, my opinion remains steadfast. They're still bland and boring.


 Now, suffice to say, I don't think it's a bad cover. The girl is cute to look at (she has nice eyes) and the addition of using toys for music is cute in itself, and the song isn't a bad rendition of the original....but it lacks the soul of the people who originally wrote it, a certain vibe that makes the EARTH quake and the WIND roar with the passion only equaled by the FIRE of the vibrant personality within. God, I wish I could remember the name of the band....I'm just gonna say it's the Bee Gees for now.

These guys, not so much. The ones that wrote the original, they sounded like after the song, they would want you to keep dancing to yet another 'funkadelic' tune or to pass the fine champagnes and stuff. Pomplamoose is the type of band that strikes me as finishing a song and then sitting down to eat tofu and rice cakes.

Anyway, the key thing to derive from this edition of Bitch Bitch Bitch is that I'm not knocking the song nor its cover, but the Bee Gees had a type of emotion to their song, most evident in "Low Rider", where it was always about a good time and something that doesn't make me fall asleep like half of Pomplamoose's songs. Bland band, good song.

Hope for new captions soon :p



(Note: I know it's by Earth, Wind and Fire and NOT the Bee Gees. That's a joke.)


EDIT (2/12/12): I'm just as surprised as you when you typed 'Pomplamoose' on your search engine and got this page.

This Is Frank

And here I am with a new caption. Hope you enjoy. :)

What's For Dessert?

Guest caption from Sasha (tgcomix) at the Haven. Enjoy because A.) it's good and B.) I told you to. :)

Saturday, December 10, 2011

Uh-Oh

WOW. I just realized how long it's been since I last posted. Here now is a list of reasons why that is:

1.) Skyrim. Recently got that, am not finished with it.
2.) Computer. 'tis on the fritz and on its way to getting repaired (or, rather, debugged)-- however, this requires files to be backed up and such and the family is still in the dark about what I keep hidden deep within the computer (namely, these captions).
3.) Motivation/Inspiration. I'm not having those in spades. Hell, I'm not having either at all. One thing I don't like doing is the same story over and over again and that's all that I've been coming up with as of recent. When I say the same story, I don't mean in terms of theme (e.g. bodysuit, Great Shift, symbiote, etc.), but rather in terms of situation (how the central character within the caption encounters said change).
4.) Did I say Skyrim already?
5.) Depression Bouts. Maybe it's the changing of the seasons or whatever but they happen more frequently around this time of year. When this happens....well, I don't want to get into it. What you need to know is that it leaves me in a lethargic, confused state that makes me less of a happy, more sad hybrid.
6.) Addendum to #3-- when I say I have no motivation/inspiration, I mean I don't have any for a caption. The story I've made mention of that I'm currently working on has been getting more attention as of recent.
7.) I got lazy.
8.) Since my computer got riddled with viruses/backdoors/rootkits/etc, surveillance on my computer time is becoming a little more strict.
9.) My fellow captioneers are doing the work for me. What I mean by that is that one of the reasons I was motivated to start my new caption blog was that because other blogs grinded to a screeching halt in terms of caption frequency. That hasn't been an issue as of lately, so I'm usually not...what's the term that I want to use that'll sound less creepy....."sexually motivated" to do any captions.
10.) SOPA. I stayed quiet because of that stupid ass bill. It's yet to pass and revisions are going to be made on it today or tomorrow, I forget which. I know there's an alternative bill out and I may have to stay quiet for that too.
11.) I got nothin' else.

I've activated my apology beam and every one of you will get hit by nightfall by my sorry lasers. When will I have captions? I don't know. I'm not going to say a date or a time because I'll most likely shirk it. You'll know when you see a caption on your newsfeed or your blogroll or whatever it's called under my site name, that I'll say.

Until then, I've begun firing my apology beam.

Bitch Bitch Bitch: The Video For Lacuna Coil's "Heaven's A Lie"

Today I'm going to start a segment called Bitch Bitch Bitch in which I scathingly review things I don't like. I've done something like this before (with Wednesday 13) that I'm going to tag shortly after I finish this post. Today I'm kind of pissed at myself for buying (and downloading onto the Xbox) Lacuna Coil's video for "Heaven's A Lie".



Don't get me wrong. I like the song. I like its subtle message of not forcing opinions upon others (I would say I'm doing the same thing but I'm not going to outcast you or persist it further if you disagree). I like the melody. What I don't like, however, is the video. There's two videos for this: One is extremely low-budget and just shows the band on a staircase. This is excusable-- this is their first known video. The second is the one I'm reviewing right now, the more high-budget one.


Maybe I'm being a little bit anal about the content of the video. I prefer artistic perspective and humorous antics over just a band being shown playing a song (example: I prefer Tool videos over anything made by Paramore). And Cristina Scabbia is, indeed, beautiful. But her beauty should not be the center of the majority of the video-- otherwise, the band comes across as self-indulgent and narcissistic. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's being done about this video: implying that Lacuna Coil is self-indulgent and narcissistic, even though they may or may not be.

The video starts off with Cristina walking towards the camera and throwing some ninja star, to which Whats-His-Face (Andrea Ferro) dodges in the next frame. The scene then cuts to what appears at first to be a two-story unfinished shed where the band has both singers on alternate floors. When Cristina sings, the camera makes damn sure that it gets every sexy movement and alluring coo to a T. This is basically the entire video from then out:
Chorus: Two bands on two different floors
Verse: Schmexy shoot!
Chorus: Two bands again, with the camera violently shaking
Guitar Break: Guitarist, drummer and bassist and whoever the hell else is surrounded by bullet-motion
Chorus: The band again, fade out with Cristina eyeing you every which way you go.

What the fuck does any of this have to do with the message of the song?

Oh yeah, there's this scene too, which is just another special effect. That's pretty much what this entire video is-- Cristina and special effects. It's like an easily amazed 12-year old who just hit puberty directed the video. I can understand when special effects are used to do what is virtually impossible in real life or to create otherwise non-existant entities and animals and such. What I don't understand is when special effects are used for no fucking reason at all. "It just looks cool" is a shallow response to that. And I expect Lacuna Coil to be a little more artistic than that.

Whatever, I guess. There's probably much more awful videos than this one. Some, with awful songs. Thankfully it's not both with this one. But come on, man. I payed 160 Microsoft Points (About 2 US dollars) for this where I could have just spent it on another House episode. I would expect, if not an equivalent amount of visual and audible entertainment and engagement, SOME of it. 

New caps soon. :p

:(

Yeah, I know. I'm behind on captions, particularly requests and capbacks. There's a reason: I recently came down with a cold and am currently nursing that. I'll be on here once the influenzic asshole goes away. Til then...um.....

Vengeance For The Changed

This here is a caption from Wraithstrike. As always, I hope you enjoy it like I have. :)

Light?

I'm over what was getting me down...for now. It's not solved but hell...that's what happy pills are for! Unfortunately, my followers, I have not created captions. I will in due time. Hopefully by the end of the week. Right now I'm financially fucked and need to do something about it swiftly...ideas for that need to come first, I'm afraid. Ideas for my story come second because I really hate leaving things unfinished. Somewhere in the midst I'll find a guy and turn him into a woman....I mean, Miss Terry certainly isn't done yet ;) I'll keep you posted. Bye for now :)

Darkness

So I'm in a really bad place right now in which I'm finding it really hard to be ambitious about anything anymore. I feel like a bag of putrid shit everyday, my inspiration is null, and my motivation is sapped. As a result, I'm gonna be offline for a period of time. Do not mistake this, however, for the end of this blog or my captioneering. I just need a break is all...if I make captions between today and the time I decide to come back, I'll post them up. See you guys whenever.

Untitled

I can't think of a great title for this because, to me, this isn't really the best caption I've ever done. The story kind of goes all over the place....still, liking the bodysuit idea.

Formspring!

Now, like many of my fellow TG captioneers, I have a Formspring.

Ask me shit!

I may or may not post questions up here. We'll see what happens. :)

Varsity Blues

This caption takes a less sexy, more serious tone...it ends well, yes, but I believe the message within bears more importance.

Oops

I know I said I would have TG captions soon the last time I posted. Truth be told, I never got around to it. But seeing how you 'Thunderbolts', I'll call you, were patient enough to wait this long, you deserve to know why.

As you're all aware, Halloween season is coming up. And when that happens, costumes, masks and the like are all sold in places either desolate or ho-hum otherwise. Such is the case with Goodwill. If you're not familiar with Goodwill, it's an American-based company dedicated to helping the down-trodden and the mentally handicapped with things such as employment opportunities, donations, and selling back donations at rather cheap prices. I think there's three of these particular stores where I live and I came across one where someone had donated a female mask and a wig. I got both for under three bucks and have been busy ever since. If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of masks and costumes and whatnot especially after Halloween. The only downside is that it's a plastic mask that ends up making me feel dizzy and headache-y. But what the hell do you expect-- the mask was at least 1.50 cheaper than the wig.

I'm going to...attempt...to make TG Captions over the weekend so I feel productive and you guys feel better. I hope that keeps me from being crucified. Or spanked. ;)

Plug Recap Two

For those of you not in the know, every week I advertise a TG caption site or something of a similar essence on this blog. I don't do this for money or respect, but rather for the TG community so more blogs can be discovered to the newly initiated TG caption fan. Here now is a repost of every site I've plugged to date:

#1- sp2000

#2- Alectra

#3- Sasha (tgcomix)

#4- Nadine

#5- Sci-Fi Kara

#6- Josey14

#7- Jennifer

#8- World of TG

#9- MindyZ

#10- Rachels Haven

Plug of the Week, 9/18/2011- 9/24/2011

I'm not sure why I haven't plugged this before, but it's about time I did-- earlier I've mentioned something called "the Haven". For those of you curious as to what that is, here is the link to the Plug of the Week, Rachel's Haven.

Rachels Haven

You won't see anything past the login screen but registration is totally free for those with an inner girl inside. Create an account and enjoy all the Haven has to offer :D


Now, I usually have captions to follow Plugs with....but not today. Kind of slacking off on that aspect, really. Don't worry, though, there'll be new ones before you know it. Before I know it, that is. Patience for my motivation is key.
