I am a huge fan of The Weepies. The first song I fell in love with was "World Spins Madly On."

Awesome, now that you have the definition of Machinima, thanks to the infamous Dictionary.com, I can explain myself.
I. Love. The. Sims 2. The Sims is actually the game that inspired me to achieve the idea of being an animator. It's cheesy but hey, I'm proud of it. I downloaded a ton of custom content such as the hair, clothing, furniture and altered the video recording settings within the game as well as the frames captured per second (which when filming makes it extremely tedious but makes it look awesome when completed), figured out how to get smooth camera movements thanks to Youtube tutorials and Google. The program that I used to piece it all together was Sony Vegas Home Studio 8 on my HP because macs just can't handle the sims 2 (let alone a lot of games are not compatible with a mac or at least weren't when I started filming), which isn't the best but it gets the job done which is much better than using Windows Movie Maker on an HP.
