Alas

Months has passed since I've posted anything here on this site. I suppose the lack of updates, school, and other personal updates are to blames, but then again I'm not much of a blogger to be honest :P

So not much new to be honest with the whole recording commentary. I suppose I can do flash games to entertain for a while but I'll need help and guidance to find decent ones that'll entertain fairly and are bound to generate some good reactions as I play through it.

And if you're wondering: "How goes it with the whole recording issue you've been having for over a year?" Well, eh-heh... I needed to direct my money on more personal matters but believe me, I miss entertaining those on youtube. It's surprising to me just how much people are still subscribing to me event the last playthrough I did was of a flash game and that was back in summer time o_O I figured since the hiatus that people would begin to unsubscribe me because of my lack of content. However, I am still very grateful that I am still attracting people to my channel. Although it's not at the rate that other people have but it's still something to grin a bit about, right?

So to those who do read my blog (which I'm sure not too many do xD) and is subscribed to me, I thank my old watchers for sticking around and I welcome my new ones with open arms. I apologize that I have to express my gratitude in a blog post rather than a video but I'll be working on one just in case some don't see this blog and pretty much cover a bit of what's here. Why aren't a I doing a video? I'm a bit sick and plus my brain's not functioning properly to perform well in front of a camera xD

Though this is just an option, I encourage my watchers to watch my blogspot if they wish. If not, that is fine too because I always upload a little video to my youtube in case I decide to post any youube related updates here. But if you wish to know what goes on, and to make sure I'm not dead or anything, xD I post something up here from life from time to time. Basically write about life in general like any other mundane blogger. I'll also be posting up some of the "interesting" comments I would get from time to time. For the sakes of these people that are commenting, I will have their user names censored like for example:

Ayaa... I have quite a bit of more "colorful" comments than this and I thought would be entertaining to share with whomever is interested.

Alas, it is midnight here and I have class tomorrow. Also, the nyquil is starting to kick in @.@ I will post up another blog that's non youtube related. I guess, it's basically life :P Alrighty, until next time guys....

Laterz....

Artsy

Decided to keep that water coloring class. Since I didn't need to buy that super expensive-ass book for history, I just used the money to get the water coloring kit and a few more things at the bookstore. That shit wasn't cheap, nor was it easy to carry around. Since my college decided to go green and not give plastic bags to carry around purchases anymore, I had to resort to buying a "stay green" tote bag. Carrying around the kit AND the art box I bought would have been a bitch without it since I had to bus it home.

Soon as I got home, being the curious George I am, I opened up the kit to see what was inside. A bunch of neat stuff I'll admit, but I'm a little anxious about using them because when it comes to art, painting would have to be my weakest area. That could have been due to a shitty art teacher I had that would just throw assignments at us and expect us to already know how to do this and that.

Alas, the reason why I chose to stay away from any sort of art class until now. I thought that if I gave this a go then I might be able to pick up a bunch of things and maybe be able to draw more since I haven't drawn anything worth while in a long, long time.

First Day of Classes

Day... was... so... freaking... long...

My classes began at 11:30am and I didn't get home until around 8:30pm. Dayum. Oh well, I like my classes so far but it's a shame I might have to drop water coloring. The prices for the materials are insane. The water coloring kit at the HCC book store alone is $57.99, but the kit only covers a quarter of the materials. Oh well, I only signed up for that class for fun but it's really hard to see the fun when the materials are gonna put one hell of a dent in your wallet. It's bad enough that my books are expensive (a used history book, about $70-$80!)

Spanish class was interesting. Though I didn't understand half of what our instructor said when she strode in and spoke during the lecture, I got some good laughs from the parts I understood. Plus, I seem to have a very lively class. My other class, women's studies, though some of my classmates are a bit lively, it just feels like one of those classes where you need someone you know otherwise you'd feel like you'd go bonkers. I felt like I was gonna pass out due to exhaustion because my water painting class kinda wore me out. It was three freaking hours long.

At least tomorrow I have only one class. I have to get up earlier than today since it starts at 8:30am but at least I finish at 10:00am.

School

Classes are going to be starting soon. I'm really excited for my classes. Though it's a bummer that I haven't gotten around to getting something that could record my console gameplay, but it seems that I might have to find another means of recording commentary too since my other computer, the other one I've had since I began, is starting to crap out and is very, very slow as fuck. After I get around to transferring my old stuff to this computer, my dad is gonna take it off my hands. Not sure if he'll just keep or throw it away but I can look forward to having more room on my desk.

Taking Another Break

I'm trying to reinstate some good habits before classes begin on the 22nd. So I'm taking a break from PC gaming to do so. Also, my older brother had pointed out (in a very douchey manner via text message) that I've spent too much time playing games on the computer this past summer.

So I made a list. Shit I have to do before I can even log into steam again. I might be taking this a bit too far but it's either this or uninstall my steam browser and my games to make sure I don't play them for the longest time possible.

For those curious, here's the list:

• Sleep early/ Wake up early
• Eat regularly
• Play "Ocarina of Time"
• Play "Majora's Mask"
• Dance to 5 songs in "Just dance 2"
• Convince friends to hike Diamond Head
• Play a round of pool 
• Finish a book
• Play "Silent Hill 2"
• Submit some videos to youtube
• Go shopping for clothes

(List will be modified from time to time due to me not wanting to put a dent in my wallet.)

Easy? Maybe. Ridiculous? I won't lie, but it sure as hell is. I'm hoping I'd finish all of this before the end of the month. I don't know. Some of these I just thought of at the top of my head but the others are stuff I've been wanting to do but couldn't do so for a long time. Like the one about Diamond Head.

Oh, and why does this post get a video on youtube? It's because I've had several walkthroughs planned on the PC but now I have to put them on hold because of this. Sorry, but for those of you who've been wanting to see something from me for a long time that isn't a TF2 montage, you'll have to wait a little bit longer. :( I've still got that two hour long set of Psychonauts that I haven't gotten to rendering in a while and a few more montages to finish rendering. You'll still get some content but that's when I finally have the motivation to finish rendering. It's a lot harder to use Windows Movie Maker on a windows 7 computer, that could just be me because I'm so used to the Vista version.

I also tried to get Sony Vegas, but decided against it. Decided to use the money to buy games for some good friends that I play with since I might not be able to chat or play with them for while. 

Okay, that's all I've got to say. Laterz.

Late Nights

Don't really feel too good right now. Been having stomach aches. Must've been from that get-together friends and I had the other day. To top it all off, I can't sleep. D:

So I am in the process of rendering a playthrough. I've recorded up to two hours and so far I've rendered out only five parts. I'm going to hold off on uploading until I feel that I have enough videos because I'm going to be uploading them differently. Also, two hours equals a shit-ton of parts and I don't want to flood your subscribers box all at once.

Also, there's an issue that I have with the recording. It's that since the game I played is on the PC, knowing my luck I was destined to have my frame-rate drop at certain parts. It wasn't severe though. Another issue is that because I recorded the commentary off my baby laptop, it's going to be really soft to the point of you having to turn up your volume and/or straining your ears. I tried to make it louder but sadly what I have is the best I could do for now.

Finally, another reason why I'm holding off on uploading this set is because I haven't had to do commentary in almost a year so when I played it back, I couldn't help but cringe at my own voice. When it comes to making commentary, I'm rusty as hell! But hopefully, this playthrough will help me get back into the swing of things. After all, it's been a LONG time since I've done this.

Hopefully I'll decided to upload by next week if I'm not busy.

Alrighty, Laterz.

Happy 4th of July
