We're about 50% done with the next installment of The Sonic Tales - the only thing stalling production right now is our busy lives. The rest of the work for the episode is left up to me, and I'm currently tied up with a big project I hope to have done for my dear friend that leaves the country in a few days. But not to worry - episode 5 will be finished soon enough!

Unless we actually hundreds of GoogleBots visiting TST every month, the visiting numbers haven't gone anywhere for some time. If anything, they've gone up. So even though no one really posts comments or in the Forums, I can safely assume that people are still regularly seeing this page. As such, I felt a news post is in order.

Although it has been a couple months since the last news post, it certainly hasn't been a couple months since we've worked on The Sonic Tales. We're hard at work producing new episodes of The Sonic Tales, even if we're not here to say we are.

Two of our cast members are going on vacation in a couple of weeks, so let's just say that my goal is to have a new video out before they leave.

Hello everyone! Quick update from RTCF headquarters here. Since I was doing some maintenance on the video player over at Kill Faz, I took the liberty of coming here and doing the same work. Here's a quick run-down of what I did (very small stuff):

- Finally fixed the footer (I can't believe I went a whole year without changing the copyright year - then again, I can't believe it's been over a year since the last episode...)
- Upgraded to the latest version of the Flash movie player (basically there's now a stop button, and full-screen mode doesn't open in a new window)
- Added a little bookmark link thing to the top of the Videos page, although it's less significant here since you can probably see all the videos without scrolling...

And that's pretty much it. But I figured I couldn't post an update with such insignificant changes! To out-do myself, I continued with what I was doing before and I posted newly-encoded versions of Episode 2! Enhance your TST downloaded video collection with either a Quicktime or Windows Media high-resolution (or low if you'd prefer) video! I removed the old links to the ones on FileFront and posted new downloadable versions hosted right here on our server. I highly suggest the Windows Media HiRes one, because it's actually just a direct copy of the archive version (VERY high quality).

So that's about it for now. Hopefully it won't be too long until we get time to do Episode 5! Perhaps we'll go ahead and write the next few episodes, because that seems to get us more motivated to do an episode than when we haven't written it yet...

Even though Music Catt insists it's not that good of a video, I posted it anyway. The voice of Tails composed yet another wonderful Sims 2 music video... some time ago, and I just now got around to posting it. She's actually already working on a new one, so that's cool. But in the meantime, the one I just posted is called "Things I'll Never Say" and is based on the popular Avril Lavigne song. I already had all the versions encoded and uploaded, so I don't know why it hasn't been posted yet. You can watch it in high or low-resolution, depending on how fast your internet connection is, or you can download it in one of the four all-purpose convenient versions. I also posted it on YouTube for popularity sake, so I linked to that version as well, although I suggest just watching here in the wonderful RTC Fusion Theater.

In Sonic Tales news, we're all willing to do the next episode - the only problem is the able part. Both Music Catt and Bob are busy with school work, and I've been suffering with what can only be classified as pneumonia for the past two weeks. But don't worry - we'll get around to it eventually. We also have a wonderful holiday-themed episode scripted that we'd love to do.

So in the meantime, enjoy Caddie's wonderful use of the Sims 2, and look forward to re-posting of old episodes in high-resolution! I mean new episodes...

I apologize for that little hiccup yesterday in server uptime. About a week ago, my paid month of server usage ran out, and due to the poor service at Psychz.net, I decided it was time for another server change. This time I found the awesome people at Webhostingpad.com and it looks like we're secured on the Internet for some time to come.

The hiccup, however, was caused by the way I have to do the server change. Originally, I had wanted to put up a "We're Moving!" sign on the old server while I entered the new DNS settings for TheSonicTales.com. Unfortunately (and somewhat luckily), my account got suspended quite literally the minute after I finished downloading all my settings and files from the old server. So, for about a day (depending on when the new DNS settings propagated to your ISP), TheSonicTales.com was plagued with the dreaded "Account Suspended" page. But I had already uploaded all the files and whatnot to the new server, so it was just a matter of time. (I actually had access to the website at school before I had access at home - stupid Time Warner.)

But anyway, everything is back to normal now. In content-releasing news, we're hard at work writing more Sonic Tales videos, and hope to get time to do them very soon. I also still have another of Music Catt's Sims 2 music videos here in the wings, waiting to be posted. I believe I also still need to re-release some of the Sonic Tales videos in high-resolution. I should have a little more time pretty soon, as my major project (that's taken about two months of my life) is basically done and only needs some finishing touches.

So I hope to see some new content soon! I'll catch y'allz laterzzz.

(Wow... that was totally lame...)
