I really need to give these a try, they seem awesome..  Btw, Event Horizon was a great movie!  

[SiD]

Probably one of my favorite horror/sci-fi movies to date, outside of movies like the thing or alien.

 

And yeah Dead Space is an amazing series. DS3 leaves the horror elements a little. There's way more action. But 1 and 2 are great.

Hey btw, I am really wanting to get in to doing this also.. Could you pm me or reply and let me know what you use, and maybe give me some tips?  Thanks man

I am still a bit amateur with this shit. hah. I'm saving up for some proper equipment as I move into new territories. I would like to eventually do the whole podcast/vlog thing and I know I'll need a good mic and camera for that.

 

I'll PM you a list of things I currently use and give you some of the better tips that I know of so far.
