A Few Good Men, Halflife style

Ever thought you could remake a film, using a first person shooter? Possibly remake a scene from classic military flick “A Few Good Men” as if it was actually a scene in Half-Life 2?
R. Glass of Seattle went so far as to spend two months of his life making it using the HL2 engine, in a process made famous by Red vs. Blue — a process for animation called “machinima“.
A Few Good G-Men takes the voices of Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise, gives them to new characters and resets the scene in a HL2-style courtroom. It’s neat. Makes me want to go buy the game now.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
