No More Gmod Videos From Me?

Well not exactly, however, it is true that my latest Gmod machinima "The Last Wave" is my final Gmod machinima. Reason why is because the release of Gmod 13 and I really dislike the new Gmod today and pretty much with Source Filmmaker out to the public I find it easier to make machinimas with that tool than Gmod. I've also been losing a lot of interest in Gmod because lots of addons were breaking, the frustration that I've dealt with for 2 years, and with Gmod 13 out there are not many tools being uploaded to workshop and how buggy Gmod is right now. Discontinuing the Gmod machinima making on my side does not mean that I'm going to stop making Gmod videos in general.

I will still make some Gmod videos in the future, but they will only be a few seconds long and going back to the Scout is Delicious era to make those kinds of videos again with better quality. I find that making short Gmod videos is a lot easier for me because I don't have to deal with the frustration of making a long Gmod video with lots of time and effort. While making "The Last Wave," I've ran into lots of errors in Gmod. The biggest error was the botkiller bonemerging. The bonemerging on the botkiller heads works fine on guns, but for melee weapons such as the wrench and knife were fucked. I pretty much had to animate both the knife and the botkiller head together to make it look like a botkiller knife. CoverOP tried to help me out with that problem, but didn't work out until Gmod 13 he figured it out. Pretty much there are lots of bull shit happening on Gmod today and its making it become crappier than ever. So starting next year, all my machinima projects will be made on Source Filmmaker.

My dream was to become an animator and I wanted to buy the shit for animating, but just didn't know how to use them and they were too expensive. Since SFM is free, I can make my machinimas using pose to pose animation. I have some great projects I want to work on using SFM and I know you guys will enjoy them. I know you guys are going to be all, "I miss ARMaster making Gmod videos he was best at it" I know I'm best at it, but I can't deal with it no more and I really want to make actual animation machinimas. In fact, me and my friend are working on a big SFM project and of course its going to be a parody of another game. I'm not going to mention what it is, but there will be some stuff popping up soon that is related to it.

I know Gmod 13 is new and buggy as shit and it will all be fixed soon, but I really want to make SFM videos that I know you will enjoy. I'll even make some SFM shorts in the future too. I have lots of great ideas for SFM videos and I want to start making them next year. Thank you all for giving me a huge support on my gmod videos and for enjoying my final gmod machinima. This is a big step for me to become a animator on Source machinimas.

Feature-Length Machinima Movies (NEED OPINION)

NOTE: Just because I used Machinima.com's logo doesn't mean I'm partnered with Machinima.com. I partnered with The Game Station.

For the past few years I've been making TF2, L4D, and of course Gmod videos and they were pretty basic and easy to make. Later on I started to make my videos look more cinematic and so far it still looks a little basic. Now that Source Filmmaker is out to the public, I have moved from Gmod to SFM to make better videos with animations and shit like that. So far I've been fooling around with it and I'm getting use to the tool and I find it very helpful for source machinimas than Gmod. I know a lot of you love my videos and every year I make them a bit different than the old videos I make. It's been about a few years and I think it's time for me to try something really different. I want to make an actual independent machinima movie.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time and now with Source Filmmaker out to the public I should have the chance to make one. I want to make these machinimas have their own story inside the source engine. I've been watching a lot of Tarantino films such as Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Inglourious Basterds and playing games like Battlefield, Rainbow Six, Half-Life, Serious Sam, etc. and they give me lots of ideas to make a machinima movie. Machinimas over an hour long would actually be an awesome thing for machinima making. I like to call these "Popcorn Machinimas." Yeah it sounds funny, but it does sound catchy for a feature-length machinima. Hell, if YouTube Poop is a odd name, but has a catch to it then this should too. So far I have not seen any machinimas on YouTube that are over an hour long (except GTAIV videos), but I found this Gmod machinima called "War of the Servers" and it does look basic, but it sort of counts as a popcorn machinima. When I saw this I thought it was good. I know it's a full version of the episodes of the machinima, but still. If you haven't seen this before, check it out its pretty good for a hour long gmod machinima. This machinima was uploaded by hollohill. Video made by Litfusefilms.


I just want to make a machinima thats worth watching and having popcorn with. It's gonna be a shit ton of work to get it going, but it will be worth it. I want to try something a little new for the machinima making community, but before I start making these popcorn machinimas I need your opinions. I want to know if you guys would like to see a feature-length machinima in the future. These machinimas will be over an hour or up to a 3 hour long machinima depending how much effort it was put into. So what do you guys think? Should I make my very first popcorn machinima for you guys to enjoy or should I just stick to normal machinima making cuz you guys think these feature-length machinimas will be too long and might bore our viewers. Post a comment here or on my YouTube channel of your opinion. If I get a bunch of positive comments I will start working on my very first popcorn machinima next year, hopefully, Source Filmmaker will be out of beta sometime soon.

Helping Out for a Gmod Machinima, YouTube Partnership, New Videos Soon

Well guys I got a few things I want to say. So here they are


1. Right now I'm helping out my bud Mendelevius with his friend's gmod machinima and so far we got a few shots done. I have no idea what the title is and what it is about, but once it is released (on machinima.com's channel) I will link it to here and feature it on my channel just for his friend.


2. I think it's time for me to explain why I have removed my videos with matched third party content and moved them to armasterclassics channel. I'm planning on becoming a YouTube Partner (NO I'M NOT JOINING MACHINIMA.COM!) I was thinking about going with The Game Station, but my pal Kippesoep told me a network he uses for partnership called Curse Network and he's doing his best to get me in. Once I have a little chat with the Curse team and get my partnership, I will start earning some money for my videos. When I get partnership that pretty much means I can't use any copyrighted music so I may have to find some people who know how to make music so my videos can have their own original soundtrack or find music that is not part of the third party.


3. New GMod videos are still coming. I just had a great idea for a gmod video that you will all enjoy.


If you have any questions, concerns, or opinions about these stuff I just explained feel free to message me via YouTube or comment here.

Audtitions for the Chorus on the Real Slugger GMusic Video

Right now I'm going to make a new Real Slugger song that is a parody of Eminem's Till I Collapse and calling it, "Till I Scatter." Even though this is a new Real Slugger song, this one is going to be very different from the last two Real Slugger songs. This is going to be a parody using custom lyrics made by my friend Travis and having Raikujo as Real Slugger to rap using the lyrics we've given him. Yes, this is going to be a parody without using the Scout's default clips from the game. Since the first Real Slugger was a big hit and people are requesting me and other gmodders to make a music video version of the first Real Slugger song, "You All Suck" (parody of Eminem's Without Me), I've thought that it would be a great idea to make a new Real Slugger song using custom lyrics and a voice actor to rap as Real Slugger and make a music machinima of it.

At the moment, we are working on the audio recordings of rapping and putting it together with the instrumental music of the rap song to make it sound like a real eminem rap parody and once we have all that done we'll start working on the gmod recordings for the music video. I'm waiting for Raikujo to record the lyrics and send them to me and I'll merge his voice into the instrumental song. Even though he's going to be our Real Slugger for the parody and maybe for other Real Slugger songs in the future, we don't have a person to read off the chorus and outro in the song. That's where you guys come into play!

We need to find someone who can read off the chorus and the outro in the Real Slugger song. If you want your voice to be featured in the Real Slugger song, you must have these requirements.

• You must have a GOOD microphone
• Your voice has to be like Nate Dogg's or better (When reading the chorus and outro)
• Record your voice using Audacity or better

Once you have these requirements done, export your voice recording on WAV format and send it to me at armasterx@yahoo.com. Once I to your recording, me and Travis will decide on the perfect voice for the chorus and outro and we will reply back saying your voice is perfect. If it's not perfect we might not reply at all, but we will give out a big thanks to the people who've participated at the end of the GMusic Video.

All you need to do is read off the chorus and outro of the song, record your voice that is related to Nate Dogg's or better, export it to WAV format, and send it to me. Here is the chorus of the song.

"Till the games are done, till the wheels are spun

Till my team has won, can’t stop the run

Till its not real fun - am I dead, not yet

I'll become human till my goal is met

Till the games are done, till the wheels are spun

Till my team has won, can’t stop the run

Till its not real fun - and my life is set

I'll become human till my goal is met"

Now here is the outro of the song.

"Until they say 

that I'm okay

If I'm insane

don't let the evil within me"

(The last line would go like this, "Don't let the e-vil-with-in-me")

(The outro might be edited. If it does and you used the old outro for your recording feel free to make another recording with the word "NEW OUTRO" on the wav file name.)

If you would like an example on what the chorus and outro sound like, you can listen to the original Eminem song here (Skip to 1:40 for the Nate Dogg Chorus). If you want to use the instrumental version to practice reading off the chorus and outro while following the beat to the instrumental, you can listen to the instrumental version here. (Outro practice @ 4:16). If you have any questions about the chorus and outro, you can email Travis at traviscareythewreslter@gmail.com. If you have any questions about the whole auditions like if you don't understand the instructions very well, feel free to email me about the auditions and I will reply with some more help. Remember, my email is armasterx@yahoo.com.

This screenshot was a bitch to make lol

Once we have the whole audio part of the song done, We'll start working on the Gmod recordings to make the GMusic Video of the song. I really want to put in a lot of effort into this video and with the help of my good gmod fellows we can make this video awesome. It will take some time to make, but it will totally be worth watching on YouTube. I know you guys will start asking me some questions about the whole Real Slugger video.

Q: When the audio part of the song is done, will we be able to hear the whole song before the GMusic Video release?

A: Sadly no, however, once we get half of the video part done I'll be uploading a preview of the music video with a little part of the song just to show you how it will look when the video is completed.

Q: Is there going to be a free MP3 of the song when the video is released?

A: Of course there will be a free MP3 of the song. If I'd make people pay to download the MP3 without permission, I would be fucked.

Q: Are all Real Slugger songs gonna be just like this one?

A: Yes, but it really depends if Raikujo wants to be part of the whole Real Slugger thing. If not, we can always find someone to replace him or we can just call it right there. I would love to keep it going because I know Raikujo has a perfect Scout voice and he really seems perfect for the role of Real Slugger.

Q: Why do these pictures of Real Slugger look so depressing?

A: Because this GMusic Video is gonna have its dark moments as Real Slugger raps.

Q: What is the whole plot to the GMusic Video?

A: The objective is the Scout wants to head back into civilization, however, he finds himself torn and “scattered” by the haunt past of working for Mann’Co Mercenary Squad. The questions are; will the Scout ever be able to restore himself as a peaceful man? If so, where does he take his aggression out? The course theme is the haunting memories of the mercenary life compared to his baseball life. So basically, the Scout returns home from the war (this is after the tf2 era) and reunites with his mother and little sister. Due to the bad memories of a mercenary, he still acts like a soldier and does some violent things if someone insults him or bumps into him when he's walking into town. The Scout realizes that he is living in a civilized society and he has to adjust, however, the others living in Boston see him as a monster so he becomes a outcast. After becoming a outcast, the Scout has to decide whether he wants to become a famous rapper in the mid 60s or  go back to being a mercenary. The music video will show his flashbacks of his past as a slugger, mercenary, and a monster.

Q: I know this is an odd question, but does the Real Slugger have a full name?

A: That's a very good question! Since you asked that, I actually came up with a name for the Real Slugger. I named him Thomas James Sanders or Thomas J. Sanders...that's what popped out of my head. Good name for a Scout amirite?

Q: If the Real Slugger songs become very big, are you planning on making a feature length machinima of him?

A: Maybe! Depends how life is doing for me. I'm not going into that topic atm because I'm going to be working on the Osama bin Laden comedy machinima first. If things go really well with the Osama movie, my life, and the Real Slugger songs in the future I might make a movie of him.

I hope those answered your questions, but if you have other questions about the Real Slugger - Till I Scatter video feel free to ask me these questions by YouTube message or email. Once again, even though this project will take awhile to make, I know that this will be the best Real Slugger video ever. With all the effort that me and my friends are going to put into this video project I know this will definitely be worth watching and will have been worth the wait.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Now go and become Real Slugger's chorus!
