    Failing and Flying - by Jack Gilbert
    Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.
    It's the same when love comes to an end,
    or the marriage fails and people say
    they knew it was a mistake, that everybody
    said it would never work. That she was
    old enough to know better. But anything
    worth doing is worth doing badly.
    Like being there by that summer ocean
    on the other side of the island while
    love was fading out of her, the stars
    burning so extravagantly those nights that
    anyone could tell you they would never last.
    Every morning she was asleep in my bed
    like a visitation, the gentleness in her
    like antelope standing in the dawn mist.
    Each afternoon I watched her coming back
    through the hot stony field after swimming,
    the sea light behind her and the huge sky
    on the other side of that. Listened to her
    while we ate lunch. How can they say
    the marriage failed? Like the people who
    came back from Provence (when it was Provence)
    and said it was pretty but the food was greasy.
    I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
    but just coming to the end of his triumph.

    Happy Halloween
    Here is the Chronicles of Humanity halloween special!



    A big departure from previous episodes, it was not made with the Sims but instead Moviestorm. This is a piece of software designed specifically to make machinima without all of the gameplay elements getting in the way and I am really pleased with the results.

    The story was originally written 10 years ago (almost to the day, it was October 20th) for school. We were told to write a short horror story and at the time I was really into the Alien films. In the second film, no one believes Ripley's story about an alien that killed her crew, so I took that thought and created a story where you never get to find out if the monster is real or just in the guy's head. I'll let you decide for yourselves ;)

    It's also the first time I've done 3d modelling, the corridors of the ship were created in Sketchup and then imported into Moviestorm. I had a lot of fun doing that and want to make more scifi looking pieces for future use.

    Enjoy!

    Klingon Propaganda!
    Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!



    A very well made animation. There seems to be some mystery about it's origins, it could be fan made or it could be for something official. But then some Star Wars fans tried that a few years ago too, so we'll see :)
