That took care of about ten seconds of finished video. I've been working on this thing for five hours today, and I've only got eight minutes done. I know that I'm still learning, but Jesus!

Fuck this shit, it's time for a beer!

Uh, yeah, I guess it IS "sugar free budweiser", Gaz. We Americans have an obsession with paying the same amount of money for less beer; that's why "lite" beer is so popular here.

It doesn't help if you drink twice as many of them as any sane person though...I still weigh somewhere on the west side of 100 kilos.
