Here Comes 2015

Well, a new year is just around the corner. Do I have any resolutions?

Nope.

All in all, it wasn't a half-bad year. I'm almost done my first major writing project (no, I'm not going to make it in time...sickness, work and general laziness prevented it, but man did I get a lot done). I have a couple of part-time jobs to keep me busy. I have a car. The only damage that's been done to it so far was not me and happened when I was parked...and upstairs sleeping (it's fine...we got it worked out). I finished...um, a lot of LPs. I think I have a list here somewhere. And another big thing happened a couple weeks ago, which I am very happy about.

I don't really do the sappy stuff, but I wanted to at least extend my usual thanks to everyone who watches and supports my video production endeavours. From the people who comment, give encouragement, tease me and even team up with me to do videos, I truly appreciate the experience. Creating videos and sharing them with both people I know and complete strangers has given me an outstanding confidence boost.

And seriously. If I can handle YouTube commenters, than I can handle anyone.

Back when I posted my first LP on this channel, Dungeon Siege, I was so nervous about people hearing my voice. Before any of this, I only did a couple text LPs (and everyone thought I was a man. It was pretty hilarious and I didn't bother correcting anyone. People still think I'm a pre-pubescent male at times). I'm not a bad speaker when I'm not scared out of my mind, but every time I started a video I would have to muster the courage to do so first. Now I can turn on the recording without a second thought.

I plan on continuing LPs next year. I have no idea what's in store for me (obviously), but hopefully I'll find some new elements to add to the LP table. Meanwhile, here's a little of what you can expect next year...starting in two days...

More Hunted, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, Alien Isolation, Skyrim (Dawnguard)
Deus Ex, Thief 1, Dead Space 1, F.E.A.R. 1 (ORDER OF PLAY TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON)
Bioshock 2 (ugh)
More Gamecube titles (so far only Lost Kingdoms on the list)
Content featuring: Shauna/SerenityZero, Nick/Demidronik, GameVoyeur, IskatuMesk, GeneralDelta, Michael/Lamaxism (because I'm going to convince him to do an LP with me) and most likely a few others.
AND a couple of titles that I will be announcing in this video that I will hopefully finish tomorrow er...today. WHAT? HOW IS IT 1:30?

Anyhow...I'm not nearly interesting enough to do those AMA type things that are so popular these days, but if you have any questions or requests, feel free to comment here or send a message on YouTube.

Have a Christmas

Oh whatever else you celebrate. Or if you celebrate nothing then Have a Thursday.

I suddenly realized why scheduling content at my job was so messed up this week. Things are usually posted on Thursdays. Well then.

I'm not going to be uploading anything today, but I should have a preview video done sometime before the new year. Meanwhile enjoy a jittering santa. LOTR:TTA will resume Boxing Day...er Dec 26 and I will post a few more Hunted videos. Alien will resume in the new year because I'm still out of encoded video. I may also have some Left 4 Dead 2 videos for you. We'll see.

Too Sleepy for This

I ran out of Alien Isolation videos. I have about 5-6 videos worth of footage on my drives, but I haven't had time to go through and edit them. For the last couple weeks I've been like IT'S FIIIIINE, but then I looked and I'm like...well crap. I need to edit. So I will do that and hopefully have more up in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, enjoy the last of UT3, more of LOTR:TTA, and the beginning of Hunted. Also, if you haven't seen this, then you should go watch. I am quite happy with how this video turned out. It is acting as my year end recap video. I will be posting a preview of 2015 quite soon.

Also, I started my next LP that I put up a poll for. I will announce what the result was in the previously mentioned preview video.

Christmas Came Early

And I got 700 subs for it. I have a video to post to celebrate...which I was going to post for the holiday anyways, but now I'm posting it early. So um, I need to make a few minor changes, and then I shall post a thing.

I'm really tired. Like I might actually pass out on the keyboard. So I may post a thing tomorrow. But it is coming.

Yay you guys are all awesome.

End of the Year

Whelp, almost to the end of the year. I am unsure of how much recording I'll do this month, but I know for sure what I'll be releasing.

I am almost out of Skyrim videos. I have two more to post (some of my 60FPS tests) and that will be it for the year. You can expect more of those videos in the new year.

I have about seven more Unreal Tournament 3 videos, which I will probably post within the next week. Expect Hunted videos to begin next week (I estimate they will appear around December 15).

Alien Isolation will not be finished this year as we still have a lot to record. I will, however, continue to upload what I have. Shauna and I have been having trouble coordinating schedules due to work. I am excited for the episodes coming up. Some of my favourite parts so far have been in these next couple of episodes (including STAIRCASE MANOEUVRES and my solo adventure where I spend about 10 minutes freaking out alone).

And last but not least, I have Lord of the Rings the Third Age. These uploads will also run into the new year as I have about 45 of them...it was a long LP.

OH and I will have a special "year end" video that I am currently (kind of sort of) putting together. I'll be doing a little recap there and a preview of some of the LPs I'll be doing next year (or continuing in some cases).

Questions

Little girl comes up to the counter during a party and asks "are we allowed to hurt people down here?" I was really tempted to say "nothing is true; everything is permitted," just to see how she interpreted it. That said, I'm not ready to lose my job. 

Sometimes I wish, little girl. Sometimes I wish...

Meanwhile my coworker is trying to recover the leagues from a busted hard drive. He just screamed YES, I'M CREATING LOGIC, with no context and continued working.

Started the release of Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, yesterday. It is a long LP, so expect it to run into the new year. I also expect every single video to be flagged for minor copyright as it uses music from Lord of the Rings (duh). There's really nothing I can do about that though. Almost done with Unreal Tournament, and then I will start uploading Hunted. What we have done of Alien is almost fully edited and will continue to be posted throughout the month.

I have a couple of Skyrim videos left from the Dragonborn batch. I will be doing a few transition episodes before I start the Dawnguard DLC. I expect those to be posted in Jaunary however.

Oh yeah, I also have an entire Bioshock 2 LP. Cause...um...it's...

Yeah, actually I'm not sure why I subjected myself to that..

UPDATE: My coworker has started mumbling profanities. I'm pretty sure logic is no longer being created.
