Stan Radner
DARKLY Regular
Hello Darkly members! My name is Steve (Stan Radner is just a name I use for gaming) and I'm new here!
How do I start this off? Hmm...Well I live in Pennsylvania and I'm 20 years old. I absolutely love computers! I am currently going to college (second year) for 3D Modeling & Animations, Video Game Design, Programming, Web Design, and Sound & Video Editing. Phew! Sounds like a lot, right? It is but I really enjoy it. The work we are assigned is fun so I usually go through it pretty fast. I'm somewhat artistically gifted...I think. I've uploaded a screenshot of a recent model I created using a program known as Blender (really powerful program and it's free) if you're wondering what kind of stuff I do. I use many other programs such as Bryce, 3DS Max, UDK, and etc. Although I have never really tried to use Source Filmmaker...I guess I should try it out when I feel like downloading it.
I also like to workout. Why? Because I'm sort of a health nut and it's a great way to stay in shape! (Family Guy reference there!) I workout about 4-5 days a week and my lifting sessions generally last around 2 hours...except for leg day which tends to go for about an hour or an hour and a half. I've also done Varsity Track & Field (long distance runner usually 400m, 400m Relay, and the mile...my mile time being 5:21:13) for 6 years, Varsity Indoor Track & Field for 4 years, Varsity Cross Country (best 5k time being 17:41) for 4 years, and I did some wrestling outside of my high school for about a year.
I'm also a music lover. My favorite bands being Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Tool, Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Megadeath, etc. I look up to a lot of musical artists because of their achievements and struggles...people such as Brian Hugh Warner (Marilyn Manson), David Draiman (lead singer for Disturbed), Fred Durst (lead singer for Limp Bizkit), and Kirk Hammet (lead guitarist for Metallica). If you're wondering why I like Marilyn Manson, despite it's alternative rock/shock rock genre, is because the music has messages in it about society, views on religion, etc. Manson challenges our concept of reality with obscure lyrics and grotesque music videos which is what really interests me...Tool also provides the same effect although I find them to be more of a Psychedelic Rock band (my favorite songs by them being Schism, Sober, and Vicarious). Is anyone a fan of the bands I listed above? Just wondering if anyone else enjoys that type of music.
Music is also what inspired me to form my own band. It's a fun experience and the local shows that we play have been starting to bring full houses to wherever we are dated to play at (I would have to say maybe around 60-70 people showing up to our shows). My band is more of an Alternative Rock, Psychedelic Rock, and Shock Rock genre band...encompassing the main styles of the bands I had mentioned earlier and bringing it into one unique sound. I'm the lead singer by the way since I forgot to mention it. Do I want my band to get signed by a record company? Hell yeah! But we haven't generated enough attention locally and by the media to attain that yet...but we're trying! We've actually been invited to play a benefit concert this summer with about 12 other bands from around Pennsylvania that generates a really large amount of attending people.
I'm a very outgoing person as you can probably notice from how open I've been so far. You're all welcome to send me a friend invite on Steam and chat me up about anything. I love a good conversation! Anyway, I just though I'd introduce myself a little to the Darkly community.
Oh, and here's the screenshot of some of the work I do in college.

But that sick bastard who killed him got what he deserved! (excuse the language)
