Cub takes over the Permit Office

A short textual recap of the Succession-style coup Cub just carried out (Timestamp: Grian s10 e21 14:40-29:30)

Grian, Scar and Skizz all receive a mysterious summons to a disciplinary hearing to discuss ‘restructuring’ at the Permit Office.

Scar and Skizz turn up thinking they’re in trouble with Grian. Grian, who has received two warnings for completely unfair reasons like ‘not doing his job’, knows he’s in trouble with Mysterious HQ Person (Grian, terrified but curious: Is it Doc??).

Waiting nervously, all three of them agree that their collective efforts are a shambles, a mild blame game ensues, also a horse is here and they can’t kill it because Judge Bdubs would object.

A flying figure approaches.

To Grian and Skizz’s surprise and Scar’s delight, it’s Cub.

Cub times his slow-falling potions to sink slowly and dramatically to the ground in a completely horizontal position. (Cub: Hello, boys) (Scar: Hello, God!)

Cub has a red tie and a gold name tag and performs an immediate show of dominance by taming the horse and handing out golden apples.

Scar: yeah that horse was—

Cub: it’s my horse now

Grian, eating the apple: He’s trying to butter us up. Skizz, don’t eat the apples.

Cub: Grian, I have some excellent news for you, my friend. You’re fired.

Grian: I’m what—

Cub: And also rehired! To a lesser position.

Grian: So I’m, what, assistant permit manager?

Cub: assistant TO the permit manager.

Cub: that’s me.

Cub: I’m sorry you had to find out this way

Grian: [into his hands] I’m so relieved I hate this job so much

Grian: IT’S NOT FUN AND I CAN’T CONTROL IT. LOOK AT THE SHOPPING DISTRICT. THERE’S POP UP SHOPS EVERYWHERE.

Grian: even I’ve got a pop up shop!!

Cub: Grian and I share a similar sentiment, which is that the permits shouldn’t exist

Cub: which is why we both have these jobs

Scar: But… but it was you two who came up with the idea of permits in the first place!

Cub: yeah

Cub: but you were supposed to enforce it

At this point it should be noted Cub has variously a) claimed he's been sent by the higher ups and he didn't want to do this but, boys, he has to, b) claimed he is one of the higher ups, c) claimed he's 'quite high up but not so much' d) vehemently denied that there exists anyone who has a fancier name tag than he does

Cub forces them into an immediate tour of the shopping district

There really are pop up shops everywhere

Cub: Alright, here's some TNT.

Grian: er! wait! I dunno—!

Cub: What.

Grian: Maybe we should give people some warning?

Cub: Hm

Scar: We did! We have a thing! I built a redstone countdown clock! [waves at the contraption of stacked red-yellow-white pillars he spent several weeks on]

Grian: Scar, that HASN'T MOVED SINCE YOU BUILT IT

Scar: It does move! It's just going slowly!

Cub: We need to move faster.

Scar: I can adjust it. This is 2024 advanced redstone. I can change it. [flies off]

Skizz: Can he really—

Grian, resigned: He's just going to mine it. [Scar mines it]

Skizz: Can I take a shot at him?

Cub: Fire away, Skizz

Grian: I'm not sure about this new management!

Meanwhile Cub has been contemplating the nearest popups in a critical way.

Cub: I'm going to be honest, I'm part of this glass collective, and even I want to see this one blown up.

Grian: Look, boss, what if we put a big billboard up that says 'Pop up purge'... certain date.

Cub: Hm.

Cub: That's very reasonable. I was just going to blow stuff up, but if you want to do that, I think it's a good choice.

Grian: How much time are you giving them, boss?

Skizz: Well, that's what the timer was—

Scar: I HAVE A TIMER! IT'S COUNTING DOWN!

Cub: We want to do this lickety-split. Let's go two weeks.

Grian: [repeating to himself under his breath] Two weeks!

Scar: I'll program the redstone!

Cub: You program it in, Scar. Grian, you make the billboard. Skizz…

Skizz: Yeah?

Cub: …you keep on keeping on, baby.

Cub: You've been the background of this whole operation, Skizz.

Skizz now dramatically attempts to get them to a high point so they can look at the layout of the shopping district, a simple task stymied only by the fact Scar and Grian both refuse to take any instructions unless they come from Cub

Cub then orders that pop up shops will be confiscated to Scar and Skizz's enforcement office. Grian very curious about the punishment for permit violations. Scar suggests banishing violators to the far reaches by Doc's 'shooty-offy cannon'. Cub approves this exile penalty enthusiastically.

Cub: Alright.

Grian: There's a storm comin'.

Scar: [looks up at the blue sky] Really?

Skizz: Us. He means us.

Grian: It's more like a moderate breeze.

Skizz: Well, that's official, we're under new management! And the tone I’m getting is that Rub-a-Dub-Cub is not messin’ around.

Cub: You guys gotta get to it.

[Actual in-game storm starts]

Grian: There is a storm coming.

Scar: A storm of pain!

Grian: [to Cub] I'm so relieved. I couldn’t keep control of any of this.

Cub: It's alright, Grian. [PEAL OF IN-GAME THUNDER] We'll keep people in line.

Grian: It feels like the permit office has taken a really dark turn

Cub: Nah, it'll be fine. People will care about their permits! [MORE THUNDER] People will comply :)

[good-chimes]

How did the GIGS Bigfoot hunting stream go, you ask? Well at one point Scar realizes he has a box in his inventory that can set off a full-scale firework display, so I would say pretty well, if you think the point of the game is 'make a very loud noise so Bigfoot can find you' and not 'stay very quiet so you don't get murdered by Bigfoot'.

Grian: Scar! Why would you do that!? Scar: I was trying to see what it would do! Grian: What do you mean! Of course- [in a voice that is hanging onto patience by its fingernails] What did it say? Did it say something like 'firework box'? Scar: It said 'firework'… Grian: It said 'firework'. Right. So. On a scale of 1-10, how much did that meet your expectation? Scar: [sighs happily] I loved it.

Grian cracks up. They are all hunted down and murdered by Bigfoot.

G.I.G.S. PLAY LETHAL COMPANY

STREAM RECAP

Skizz, Grian and Impulse appear in orange spacesuits in a down-at-heel salvage spaceship. They are met with a glowing red display informing them they have 4 days left to meet profit quota.

Impulse makes a good-faith attempt to read the training manual, but this is aggressively ignored by the other two, and even Impulse gives up completely when Scar arrives.

Grian hates that they all look the same and demands they change suits.

They all succeed in changing their suits to exactly the same shade of orange as they have only unlocked one color.

Grian deals with his frustration at being thwarted by jumping over the railing of their ship as it starts to land shouting WHEE!

Skizz: Did he just jump?

Grian: [has sustained enormous amounts of fall damage] MY LEGS

Eventually they discover the main point of the game, a mysterious abandoned facility.

Grian: HEEEEEEE [jumps over the railing into the depths of the facility]

Grian has died.

Grian’s ghost commands the ship to leave early.

The whole party are left by Grian to perish on a hostile planet.

Skizz: So, what did we learn?

Scar & Impulse together: Nothing.

Grian: Falling hurts?

Impulse discovers a valve he can’t pull. Scar asks if he needs a man to come down and pull his valve. Scar finds he cannot pull the valve either and suggests maybe we need someone else to come down and crank it.

Scar: Should we have left Grian to his own devices? [This is slander, Grian has begun to find valuable items for the crew.]

Scar and Skizz are eaten by sand monsters.

Scar and Skizz attempt to abandon the others but Impulse and Grian make it back in time.  

Grian: I can’t believe how bad we are at this.

1 day left to meet profit quota.

New planet! it is raining. Scar and Skizz get lost on an old rail track for about five minutes. When they return, they find the mysterious splattered corpses of their dead friends.

Both of them stand there inspecting the mysterious splattered corpses of their dead friends beside an inexplicable jar of pickles. Scar picks up a corpse. Skizz retrieves the pickles.

Scar get splattered by exactly the same monster as the other two, in the same place, doing the same thing.

Skizz: I saved the pickles!

Impulse’s ghost:  Really? 😒

0 days left to meet profit quota.

Argument over the value of pickles all the way back to the company planet, where a small window with a bell is apparently where to sell their stuff. Impulse tells the others to ring the bell and stand back. A dark force scythes out of the window and consumes their scrap. They return to orbit.

Ship: YOU HAVE NOT ACHIEVED YOUR PROFIT QUOTA. WELCOME TO OUR DISCIPLINARY CLASSES.

The airlock opens and sucks the whole party out into the airless void.

Impulse: Noooooooo!

Scar: Did we get spaced!?

Grian: [in a tone that suggests he thinks the Company have a point about incompetence] We’re being disciplined. In space.

Scar: I don’t like our boss.

Grian announces that he has a NEW STRATEGY. We stick together, we find stuff together, and we leave together.

Grian immediately runs off after landing.

Impulse: I think he’s dead.

Scar: Have faith in him, he’s British.

Grian: [reappears] The profit quota is 130 credits. We can do this if we do it PROPERLY. [These are rich words for a man who has jumped unnecessarily to his death several times.]

However, Grian is absolutely determined they are going to succeed. He finds a whole scrap engine. Meanwhile Scar, wondering if he will ever find anything of value, is delighted to find and recover an ominously glowing light.

Skizz: [hearing the new hum] What did you do?

Scar: I salvaged a lightbulb!

Impulse: YOU TURNED ON THE RADIATION, SCAR.

Scar: That wasn’t me, that was…Grian.

They have collected a big metal cog, an engine, Scar’s ominously glowing lightbulb, and miscellaneous junk. Skizz has died again. In site of Grian’s agitation for efficiency, they are still a few credits short of the quota. They are once more sucked through the airlock into the cold void of space.

Impulse: AUGH!

Skizz: OH NO COME ON.

Grian: [disgusted] We deserved it.

New planet again! They are definitely going to do things better and more efficiently this time.

Impulse: I’ve bought four flashlights! We should see a rocket landing to give them to us.

The rocket arrives playing a jaunty ice-cream truck tune. Skizz welcomes it by standing under it and yelling.

Skizz is killed by the rocket.

Scar: That’s so sad. [steals his flashlight]

Scar has found a horn

Grian: I think—

HORN NOISE

Grian: I think I’m going—

HORN NOISE

Grian: …

HORN NOISE

Grian: I’m going back to the ship.

HORN NOISE HORN NOISE HORN NOISE

Skizz: Well at least I always know where Scar is now

HORN NOISE

Grian: [back at the ship] SCAR I’m going to have to ask you to DROP THE HORN.

Scar will not drop the horn. They travel to company planet to sell. Visibly at the end of his rope, Grian finally convinces Scar to put down the horn.

Grian immediately steals the horn for himself and starts using it.

The next mysterious abandoned facility has nothing to offer but a very difficult parkour jump over a dizzying drop.

Grian: We gotta do the jump.

Impulse successfully makes the jump and gets to the other side. A giant braineating slug instantly drops on his head. The others assist him via encouraging shouts of ‘look at that idiot!’. Eventually it is decided there has to be a rescue party. The other three make the jump and try ineffectually punching the slug (Scar: BANG HIM. JUST BANG HIM!) The slug finishes eating Impulse’s brain and starts eating Grian’s. (Grian: IT’S ON ME). Scar attempts to pick up Grian’s body. The slug lands on Scar. The slug eats Scar’s brain while Skizz runs away and starts the ship.

Skizz: [having abandoned all his friends to die and failed to pick up any scrap] A grade D? This is outrageous.

Scar picks up the horn again in revenge.

They return to the company planet. Grian rings the bell several times to sell their stuff.

An eldritch tentacle monstrosity eats Grian.

Impulse: There was a bell. You knew he was going to press the button too many times.

Scar: WHY DO WE WORK FOR SOMEBODY LIKE THIS.

Newly resurrected, Grian proposes for their next run on a new planet they buy some flashlights. Impulse proposes that they save the money as they will probably die and need them on a future mission. Skizz proposes they buy Impulse some OPTIMISM and BELIEF IN HIS TEAM. This motion is carried.

Scar proposes they all take a moment to remember the airhorn and how fun it was. This motion is summarily discarded.

Grian jumps into a sand creek in his great excitement at the arrival of the ice-cream truck supply rocket and slowly falls to his death shrieking HELP ME.

Impulse: I’M HELPING [Impulse also slowly falls to his death]

Skizz: Here’s the ice-cream truck!

They were too slow and the rocket has left without giving them the flashlights.

In an act of protest at being a ghost, Grian starts playing a Switch game with the music up and his mic on.

Scar dies to another carnivorous slug and Impulse and Grian’s ghosts tell the ship to take off and let Skizz perish on the hostile planet, leaving once more with no scrap and a mission grade of F.

Scar: We’re all dead.

Impulse, the man who originally threw away the instruction manual: Maybe we should read up and see if there’s something we missed about this game.

Scar: I liked the air horn.

Impulse: … What if we played Phasmophobia instead?

A summary of the latest Scar stream:

Scar leads a group therapy yelling session about the new vex face

Grian in chat: anyone got any wither skulls?

Grian in chat: for funsies

Oli turns up wearing the Tag hat

Scar gets lured away from the group by Oli

He’s going to kill you, Scar, everyone else immediately tells him

I’m a man of song and whimsy, Oli claims

He’s a man of song and whimsy, Scar points out to the group

Oli murders Scar for Tag

Scar now has the Tag hat and an assigned murder method of “fireworks”

Grian turns up, apparently sensing murder

Grian suggests they make an overly elaborate firework machine. He and Scar spend the next half hour trying to remember how to do it.

They want to kill Scott

They have messed around for so long that Scott logs off

They end up in Trouble Town

Grian immediately steals the deputy badge that Jimmy keeps on display, and that Scar has been trying to earn for weeks

Grian builds two-thirds of a wither and threatens to put the last head on

Real-life Jimmy yells at him via voice message

Real-life Jimmy is in the bath

Grian builds two-thirds of a wither several different ways

Real-life Jimmy leaps out of his bubble bath and finds a computer to log on and yell at both of them

Scar shoots Jimmy with the firework machine in a series of comedy not-quite kills.

Grian: “Scar, put the rockets in your off-hand! Get him!”

Jimmy: “Scar! Why do you follow orders so easily!”

Grian: “Because I’m the deputy around here!” -flashes his stolen badge-

Scar: “Yup!”

Scar shoots Jimmy one last time with the firework machine, blowing up both of them up

Grian is left alone in a sea of Scar and Jimmy’s belongings

Grian: I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Grian: WHAT DO I DO

Grian: I CAN’T EVEN LAUGH ABOUT THIS

Grian steals Jimmy’s sheriff hat and coat and puts them on

Jimmy turns back up

Jimmy: So this whole time, you’ve dragged me out of my bubble bath just to Tag me?

Scar: Yes

Grian: Yes

Jimmy orders Grian to take the hat off

Grian ignores this, puts the coat on as well, and declares triumphantly that he’s the sheriff around these parts.

Jimmy, Tag-hatted, while Grian is in full sheriff outfit: “I have nightmares about this”

Scar has to leave the stream

Grian: “Before you log off—”

Grian throws him the deputy badge

Grian: “Scar, you’re my favorite deputy”

Scar: “I’ve been deputitised!?”

Scar: “I’ve been deputitititised! Oh my gosh. This is wonderful.”

Jimmy: If he’s going, are you still going to release the wither?

Grian: Scar, reconvene here tomorrow for the wither.

Jimmy: HOW DID THIS GO SO WRONG

How to create Glossy Text Effect?

[theblvck-widow]

Glossy Space Text Effect

This is going to be a bit of a long tutorial, so it will be under a "read more." Just a tutorial i'm bringing back from an old graphic site I had years ago but is done on Photoshop CC.

Needed resources: Photoshop Stars Pattern Dirt Pattern

1. Firstly, we're going to open up Photoshop. I'm using the size 2560x1440 px with a Transparent background. 2. Fill in your background with the paint bucket tool with the color, #1E1E1E. Rename your background layer to "Background". Now place the layer in a new group (ctrl+g), rename the group "Background." 3. Now select your background layer again. At the top, go to layer > layer style > gradient overlay... Match your settings to mine. You're going to fill the gradient going from #161626 to #010101. If you don't know how to change your gradient's colors, follow the quick tutorial here!

4. Create a new layer and fill it with white (#ffffff). We're going to add another Gradient Overlay Layer Style to this as well. This time going from #E93080 to #902985.

5. We're going to place this pink/purple gradient into another group (ctrl+g) within the previous group we made before. Name this group and the new layer "Background 2". Set the Blending Mode of the layer and the new group to Overlay.

6. Now we are going to create the star background as you see in the preview. Download the star pattern as listed in the needed resources and load them into photoshop (just double click on the pattern file and it will be added). Create a new group (ctrl + g) and name "Stars". Now, create a new Pattern Fill: Layer > New Fill Layer > Pattern. Select one of the star patterns and change the Blending Mode of the pattern fill layer to Color Dodge. 7. Add 3-4 more Pattern Fill Layers with the other star patterns. Play with the "scale %" on the patterns. This will trigger different effects among the different patterns. Make sure your Blending Mode of each of those layers is set to Color Dodge.

8.Select your first "background" group. Now, Download the dirt pattern pack if you haven't already. Load the patterns into photoshop. Create a new layer and fill it with black or Edit > Fill > Black. Add a pattern overlay layer style like we did before but with the dirt pattern this time. Set your settings like mine (below). Change the fill of the layer to 0%.

9. Next, download this pattern and open the Photoshop file. Once the pattern has opened, go to Edit > Define Pattern... and name this however you like. After saving it as a pattern, you may close it. 10. Create a new layer and fill it with white, Edit > Fill > White and apply a Pattern Overlay Layer Style with the line styled pattern you just opened and saved on step 9. Make sure the fill of this layer is set to 0% and the Blending Mode of the pattern overlay is Overlay.

Here is how your layer palette should look so far:

11. Now we're going to splash a little bit of color on the background. Create a new group (ctrl+g) and name it "Colors". Select the brush tool with a big soft rounded brush. Add vibrant, bright colors all around on the background. REMEMBER: Make a new layer for each color you add.

12. Now we're going to merge all of your color layers. You can do this by selecting each of your layers and Right Clicking > Merge Layers, or you can right click on the group name "Colors" and select Merge Group. Both methods work. This will bring the color layers all together into one image. Now we're going to apply a Motion Blur Filter to the new merged image you created. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Apply the settings as 0 degree angle and 2000px.

13. Change the blending mode of the merged color layer to overlay and the fill to 50%. Make sure all of the layers you've made so far, are under the original "background" group we created at the very beginning.

14. Now it's time for the fun part - the text. For this tutorial, I am using the font "Pacifico". Create a new group (ctrl + g) and label it "Text". Write your text in white.<br> 15. Keep the original text layer(s). We will be duplicating them a few times throughout this process. I put mine in two seperate groups - one for each line of text. At this time, duplicate each text layer once. Apply some layer styles on the duplicated layers. Go to Layer > Layer Styles > Blending Options... Mine are set as followed (I am keeping the side preview square for you to reference back to if you mess up a value):

If you have more than one text layer, Right click (on the layer you just applied the styles to) > Copy Layer Style and then Right Click (on the other layer you need to apply the style to) > Paste Layer Style. The layer style should now be applied to all of your text layers. 16.Duplicate the original text layer again. Place the duplicated text layer(s) at the top of the other text layers.

Now we are going to apply some more Layer Styles.

17. Now duplicate the last text layer(s) that we just finished working on. Place the duplicated text layer(s) on top of the other layers. Now we're going to apply a Gaussian Blur Filter with a 20px Radius. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Change the blending mode of the blur layer to Screen and the Opacity to 50%.

Now you will notice it looks like the text is glowing. 18. Now duplicate the original text layer(s) again, placing the duplicated text layer at the very top of all the other layers. We will now apply some more layer styles.

In order to change the curve of the "Gloss Contour": Select the one that is premade that looks most like the one in my image (above) does by clicking on the arrow. Now click the actual image of the curve and a box will open. Drag the bottom of your curve up a little until you can change the input and the output. Then proceed to change your input and your output to 50%. A quick Image guide for this can be found here.

19. Duplicate the original text layer one last time. Place the layer(s) on top of the other layers again and apply more layer styles.

Your image should be coming along like this:

20. Now select each individual text layer by holding down your control (ctrl) key. Do not select the group names. After you have selected all of your text layers, they're going to be a blue color to let you know they're selected. Then Ctrl + Alt + E. This moves all of those selected text layers into a merged image that doesn't distort the text. DO NOT DELETE YOUR TEXT LAYERS OR GROUPS! This will get rid of the effect we have just made on your text.

Now duplicate this merged image 3 times. 21.On the first duplicated merged layer, apply the High Pass Filter with a 5px Radius. Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. Change the blending mode of this first layer to Overylay.

22. Now select the second duplicated layer and apply a Plastic Wrap Filter. Go to Filter > Filter Gallery > Artistic > Plastic Wrap.Set your settings like mine:

Set the blending mode of this layer to Soft Light. 23. For the third and last duplicated layer, apply an Emboss Filter. Go to Filter > Stylize > Emboss.... Set your settings like mine:

Set the blending mode for this final layer to Overlay.

Note: In the preview (above), I have 4 merged layers. But my original is marked invisible. You don't need to have this many. I just do this so I can distinct which ones are duplicated. 24. Now it is time for text highlights! This part may get tricky, but hang in there. Select the Brush Tool with a soft rounded brush and white (#ffffff) for the paint color. Paint on the edges of the text. For a less harsh white highlight, paint above the text. Leaving just the glow of the brush to be on the text. This will leave a light highlight.

25. Make sure if you have more than one text layer from the original start of our text tutorial, that they're merged and one file now (Ctrl + Select Files > Right Click > Merge Layers). Select your original text file on your layer palette. Right Click (on the thumbnail) > Select Pixels. This should select your text and make little lines around your text. Now select the highlight layer that we painted on with white. We are now going to make a Layer Mask. Go to layer > layer mask > reveal selection. This should have elminated any extra white blobs around your text. Change the Blending Mode of this layer to Overlay.

Note: If your highlight layer/group isn't already, move it into your "Text" group before continuing. Be sure it's at the top (right below the title of your "text" group). 

26. Before starting this next part, make sure your foreground and backgrund colors are set to black and white. You can reset these by just hitting "D" on your keyboard. Create a new layer and select the Lasso Tool. Set the Feather in the toolbar to 50px. Create an oval over the text.

27. Now we're going to apply a Cloud Filter to this new layer with the lasso tool selection. Go to Filter > Render > Clouds. Place the cloud layer in a new group and place this group behind (bottom) all the layers in the text group. Now we are going to make a selection of the original text like we did before (right click on the text layer (if more than one layer, make sure they are merged together as stated before) > select pixels). We will create another layer mask but select the Cloud Group, Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection and change the blending mode of the Cloud group to Color Dodge.

28. Time to add more highlights to the text. Create a new layer and select the Brush Tool. Paint on the text with a soft rounded brush in white.

Now make a selection of the original text like we did before (right click on the thumbnail > select pixels). Create a Layer Mask with the selection on this new highlight layer, layer > layer mask > reveal selection. Change the blending mode to Color Dodge and the Fill to 35%. Place this highlight layer on top of the other one we made inside the "text" group. Mine is inside of another group called Highlights. It's not necessary to put the highlight layers into their own groups. Again, I do this for organization.

29. Now we're going to merge the "Background" group we made at the beginning. Do this by holding Ctrl + Alt + E. This will merge the layers into an image again like we did with the text. 30. Apply the Spherize Filter. Go to Filter > Distort > Spherize and the amount of 25%.

31. Make a selection of the original text layer again (right click on the thumbnail > select pixels). Select your background layer that we just spherized, and then layer > layer mask > reveal selection.

32. Duplicate your original text layer (yes, it's back). Place the duplicate in a NEW group (ctrl +g) called "BG Highlights", BG meaning Background. Place this group under (not inside) your "Text" group. Now copy these layer styles on to your new duplicated layer:

33. Right Click on your layer(s) and select Rasterize Layer Style. This will add a harsh white glow. Now merge the layers if you have more than one. Filter > Blur > Motion Blur with the following settings: 

34. Now we're going to duplicate that layer in step 33 that we just blurred, and blur it again. This time with the following settings:

Set the "BG Highlights" group's blending mode to Color Dodge and the opacity to 70%. 35. Create a new layer and select the Brush Tool with a big soft rounded brush. Choose a vibrant color. Paint on the picture. Then set the blending mode to Screen and the fill to 75%.

36. Create another new layer and paint on a new color. I have created 3 layers of a lilac purple, blue, and a dark pink. Create a new group (ctrl + g) and name it "Paint" and place it underneath (not inside) your "Text" group. Change the blending mode of the new "paint" group to Lighten with a fill of 30%.

37. Create a new layer and fill it with black. We are going to apply a noise filter to this: filter > noise > add noise. Match your settings to mine:

38. Now we're going to blur this noise layer a bit. Filter > blur > gaussian blur. Match your settings like mine:

Then set this layer's blending mode to Screen.

39. Now add a Levels Adjustment Layer. This can be done by going to layer > new adjustment layer > levels. Match your settings to mine:

40. Create a Clipping Mask on this levels layer by: right clicking > Create clipping mask. Create a new group called "Noise" and place both the "Levels" and "Noise" layer inside of the group.

41. Now, some last adjustments before finishing this tutorial. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Photo Filter with the following settings and change the fill to 50%:

42. This time we will be adding a color adjustment layer,  layer > new adjustment layer > color balance with these settings: 

Now a look at what your layer palette should look like & your final product:

That's it for this tutorial. If you have any questions, comments, or something isn't making sense just message me!
