Job-less Again

Remember that job I said that I had? Satan had informed me a few days ago that it was a scam and that he quit. Some sort of pyrimid scheme, however I won't state the name of the company. -Sigh- I had my hopes up too. Oh well, I guess it's back to searching for a job again. Why does the job market have to suck so badly here in Hawaii? D:

Job

Looking back at that first post I made, I realize that I have GOT to proof read my shit. -_-' Also, I won't be posting a video every time I make a post here. I'll just post one if it regards what I do on youtube. As for any other posts, like this one, it's up to you if you want to read or not.

Anyways, Satan had recommended me for a job he got not too long ago. They called yesterday and we arranged for me to meet with them for a job interview. It was a group interview too. Sure, I was nervous but it was interesting because we all got to see their product and if I was a customer I'd definitely buy it (if I had the cash.) So afterwards, we were given another form to fill in and that was it. They told us that they would call each of us in the next 10-30 minutes to tell us whether we've been accepted for the job or not. 

While I was waiting for the bus to arrive, they called me up. First before telling me whether I was accepted or not, she asked why they should accept me for the job. I gave her my answer, and then she told me. 

My reaction was this at that moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs

So I start training next weekend. Maybe that new recorder will come in sooner? :D

But then afterwards is where things got a little creepy for me. 

While sitting on the bus, the old guy who sat right next to me was sitting WAY too close for comfort. At first I thought it was because the bus was crowded and I didn't blame him because the bus was pretty freaking crowded. But when people began leaving, he made no attempt to put some distance between us. In fact, he was trying to squeeze in closer to me. He even tried rubbing elbows with me. When he was pressing his leg up against mines, that's when I went from creeped out to pissed, to very pissed. While he was doing that, I noticed he kept looking over at my direction and he probably thought that he was in the clear to keep doing it, but when he saw me pause my iPod and look at him, the old creep looked like he was about to faint. Then I told him "do you really need THAT much room to sit?" I didn't yell or anything, but I said it loud enough. Afterwards, he immediately backed off and in less then a minute, he left the bus. 

Fucking creep. I didn't let that sour my mood though. After a year of searching, I finally got a job! :D

First things first

Ey! Aoiyo here. Thought I'd give blogspot a go since I haven't been active on Youtube for a while and I've no motivation to steal my sister's digital camera to make an update video. :P

As I (might've) explained, the past many months that I have spent un-active (however you spell that) on youtube was due to some technical difficulties with the computer that I used to use to record gameplay footage. I do still have "Just Dance 2" but I decide to hold off on that project because I didn't want to flood your subscribers box with video of Satan and I dancing horribly.

If anyone is curious about what happened with the computer, it was some error with the start-up file. From what I've researched, it's common among Windows-HP. I tried all I can to fix the thing, even brought it in to get it checked. I could get it formatted and just re-install the recording program again and go about recording like before but I was told that the corrupted file would come crawling back and I would have to pay again to get it formatted. Rinse and repeat.

So my brother and I decided to just trash our (7-8 year-old) computer and get a new one. Few more months later, I saved up enough to buy a brand new computer and I week later, I ordered a new capture card because I lost the installation disk. Yesterday, I tried to install it but it was made almost impossible due to my laptop being a Windows-7. I searched online for drivers that are compatible with my operating system and I did, but something went wrong. When I tested it out, visuals are alright but no audio no matter how much I toggle with the options.

So I decided to go with another recorder, which I am saving up for now. It's one of those dazzle thingies. If and when I do get it, video quality might improve. If not or if it improves only by a little, then at least I'll have something that's compatible with my operating system.

.....

Okay, it's getting a little hard to type out all these technical issues with the distractions in my room right now. XD Curse you King of the Hill.

So the purpose of blogspot is so that I can explain issues like the one I've been having with recording. I might also do a bit blogging but for all I know that's just going to be gaming related. Like for example, Team Fortress 2, one of my all time favorite games for the PC is now free to play. Anyone and everyone who is reading this and don't know what the game is, I recommend checking it out.

Oh, one more thing before I end this post. Satan and I began a steam group a while ago called "The Upgraded Idiots." It's for anyone interested in playing online us. I'm working on trying to get my own server but that'll be on the shelf until I can figure out the payment method. For now, when I get around to it, I'll just post up other servers that we frequent.

Alrighty, I think that's about it. Okay, Laterz.
