Not that I made it through last week's marathon in one piece. I crashed pretty hard over the weekend. Not sure what I had, but it basically sucked every ounce of energy I had. I literally spent one entire day reading and watching movies/tv. On that note, Kingsmen wasn't half-bad, though it ended on a...uh...super classy note. Then I went and watched some Rick and Morty so I suppose there was a theme to the evening.
Shauna will be happy to hear that I finished Summer Knight too so there's that.
I will have regular work hours, 9-5 (more or less) weekdays now, which means my schedule will be more consistent and I won't come home every day feeling like I got hit by three trucks, died and had to crawl my way out of hell, racing five demons back to my body for another go at this "life" thing. That's the theory anyway. Chances are I'll just end up buried in the mountain of writing and video work I need to catch up on. So we're switching from crawling to digging more or less.
Anyhow, uploads have continued. Recording continues. I should like...do a full update or something so there's some kind of illusion that business continues as usual. Complete with a load of giggling and screaming internally.
Currently recording:
-SOMA
-Planet Alcatraz
-Gauntlet
-Dead Space 2 (thinking of finishing this on Saturday if I have the drive space)
-Testament of Sherlock Holmes
Currently editing:
-Testament of Sherlock Holmes
-Murdered: Soul Suspect
-Gauntlet
-Bioshock Infinite (hahahaha the never-ending project)
-Evil Within (might get Mesk to cast over some of these segments or "key" segments)
-Some....special, unexpected footage intended for a new trailer (it's a surprise)
-Dungeon Siege (cause I keep forgetting I have this)
Recently finished:
-Awesome Possum (about 4 more episodes to go up)
-Tera footage (likely more to come in the future)
-Saint's Row 3 - all uploaded to LAG (but not all released yet)
So at least something is happening.
I have some initial thoughts on SOMA (we're about 3-4 hours in), but I may save those for another post as this one is already pretty long. In short, it's good, it's a lot like Amnesia games only...less terrifying and more sci-fi world-buildy computer apocalypse like. Yeah. The graphics are pretty neat and you can faff about with tons of physics objects (which have GREAT potential for silliness...but Shauna's keeping my SCIENCE in check, no worries).
Life is Strange Episode 5 next week. I'm not ready.

Let's Get Down to Business
If you don't break into song after reading the title I will be very disappointed in you.
The moment I finished typing that line, a beetle fell into my lap and I had to resist every urge to eject my laptop, which is also in my lap, away from my body while I reached for a cup to catch it. Now I have a pet beetle for a moment. It shall reunite with its fellow beetles when I'm done writing. To be fair though, I thought it was a spider, in which case the outcome would have been much worse for everyone. Especially if my brother was involved as the last time I encountered a spider (in the shower...while I was taking a shower) he offered to turn the lights off for me. Whoever thought putting the light switch OUTSIDE the bathroom was a good idea needs to be shot.
Anyway, I am writing to you today not to tell you of my crippling fear of spiders, but of what the heck I'm doing with my LPs in the next little while. My answer is: I have no clue.
I had work last week, and then the black hole of awesome that was comic con that absorbed my entire weekend, covering for my boss who is out of office this week (did this for one job...now the other...) and some medical stuff. The good news out of all this, other than feeling like crap most of the time, I am completely healthy! I actually would have preferred they found something because I would really love not to be tired and sore anymore. My doctor thinks it was a virus and anticipates another 2-3 weeks of recovery. Great.
So in my exhaustion last night I tried to figure out what I need to post, what I need to edit etc. Let's see...on my hard drives right now I have:
Bioshock Infinite
Half Life 2 Episode 2
War for the Overworld
Tera
Guild Wars 2
Murdered: Soul Suspect
Among the Sleep
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
Primal Carnage (mostly really poor quality clips as I never intended to do anything with this but then it ended up being hilarious)
All of the above are in various stages of being complete. All of the above aside from Fire Emblem, require a bit of editing.
On Shauna's hard drive I have:
Testament of Sherlock Holmes
Dreadout < to be edited by Shauna. She's starting video work. Yay!
And completed LPs I have:
Contrast
Bioschlock 2
And if I have any others I'm completely forgetting them at this time. I have a plan for a special video should I reach 1000 subscribers. I'm not going to ruin the surprise...mainly cause I haven't completely decided if this is what I want to do yet.
My idea is that I will edit up all this stuff, get that out of the way and THEN move on with other LPs. It's probably not going to go down that way, but still. I really want to do more Skyrim and play through Grim Fandango. And then I will, inevitably have to go through the pain that is Awesome Possum. Because I foolishly agreed to play it. That and Kristy is insisting that I play through Mass Effect, so that will be a thing too. Not sure if I'll record that one though...

Gone Dark
Hey everyone. Sorry I went dark for a couple days there. I had a project I needed to finish...and if I wasn't working, I was writing this thing. Yep, three days later and a lot of lost sleep, I'm in recovery mode. The good news is, I am done and a major item is checked off my to do list. Bad news is I've neglected uploads. I am currently remedying that.
Sanitarium and Hunted videos should be published tonight. Turns out I had one other Alien video I forgot I edited, so that will go out tomorrow along with another episode I'm going to edit right now. I am really exhausted though, so I'm going to do additional catch-up tomorrow.

Coffee
Apparently coffee after 7pm is great if I want to be wide awake at 2am despite being exhausted. Well it would be great if I was playing Hunted or something, but all I can do at the moment is wait for encodes and try and convince myself to do something useful. Like those papers for my bank that I meant to fill out two hours ago. What happened?
My hard drives are full of Neverwinter and Alien Isolation. One is malfunctioning and I still haven't looked into it because it is full of video that I need to remove. It also has all my laptop's back up files, which might be good to actually transfer right now. Yes. That is what I will do right now. It can work while I sleep. If I sleep. Excellent.
Let's see...what's coming up this week?
Today - Dead Space Chapter 2, Alien Isolation part 28 (if I get to editing it...suppose I could be doing that too)
Tomorrow - Hunted (more segments of chapter 2)
Friday - Lord of the Rings Parts 25, 26 ,27
Weekend - Videos from Neverwinter, Damned, Left 4 Dead and more Alien
Monday - Dead Space more Chapter 2
Tuesday - Hunted (last of Chapter 2)
Also, T-minus 7 days until I have no money. Paying off some debts. Good thing I stocked up on games during the Steam sale. Laptop is still functional (scare over the weekend as it wouldn't turn on and I got all mopey, accepting my laptop's fate...then I realized the outlet was dead and my laptop was just out of batteries). Car is in good shape. I need new boots. The sole has a hole and I'm kind of on a roll with the rhymes and I lol.
I'm done.

Well Then
I have a sore throat and I have no idea what it means. I JUST got over a 24 hour flu like less than a week ago, and before that I had a head cold that my whole household got. I don't want to be sick any more. The ones effecting my throat are the worst too cause I can't do any voice recordings (or I can't do them for long).
I have been super lazy with my preview video. It's half done. It's currently sitting in the template I'm using for Left 4 Dead videos. I don't know why they are there.
I am almost done an LP that I can't announce yet because...VIDEO. I need to make another couple edits (somehow) on another LP that will be announce. Bioschock 2 is currently gathering dust in my hard drive, but it's ready to go. And I also started a new Gamecube LP (which might have been what destroyed my throat completely yesterday).
So a lot of vagueness. I promise lots of video soon. Lots of new stuff. Meanwhile, I'm not even half done uploading LOTR: TTA yet. I'll let you take that in. Hunted will continue. I shouldn't run out of those videos before we start recording yet.
Also I may or may not be playing Neverwinter again...heh.
EDIT: Dunno I did...but I somehow managed to corrupt the file I was working out of. So now I need to start again. From scratch. Perhaps I was working with too much on there...
EDIT EDIT: I FOUND A BACKUP COPY. BRILLIANCE =D
TRIPLE EDIT: It's my one external hard drive that's causing it. I think it's malfunctioning because I had it plugged into a multi-USB port and it made the other devices attached to it malfunction as well. So I gave it its own port. Now it randomly malfunctions on its own. disconnects, reconnects, and by the time that's done, Vegas has become upset. and if I try to interact with the program at all (even just to close it), it gives my computer a kick in the nads and I get a BSOD. My work-around when this happens is to kill the process. I'm going to get my files off there and do some tests. The only problem is I need to encode things first because I have no hard drive space (which is why I'm using that drive). I need to slow down on the recordings for awhile to get through all the content. Top priority to rescue off that drive is the Alien Isolation material. That cannot be replaced. Not easily anyway.

American Grocery Stores Are Magical Places
You have like...40 flavours of pop and 20 different kinds of oreos. Pumpkin spice oreos. That is a thing. Oh and those Cheez-It things. Thanks for getting me hooked on those Voyeur.
So I've been back for awhile now, but video work has been slow as I've had...well an interesting last couple of days. Had a bit of a medical scare and it skyrocketed my anxiety, which isn't good for productivity, at least in terms of personal projects. Also, my boss at work has a family emergency which means I'll be working full time for the next couple of weeks. I will be tired and video recording and production will slow down immensely.
That said, I have a super entertaining line-up for the rest of November and December. First off, the next Gamecube game I plan on uploading is Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. I finished this LP well over a month ago...maybe two, but it is full of silly from what I can remember. It is cheesy, buggy and all around a good time. Except for the Rohan area. That was stupid. Also how it ended was really just...wtf.
My other single player LPs will include more Skyrim and eventually Bioshock 2, Half Life Episode 2, and Brigmore Witches. I want to finish these before 2015 and get them off my plate. Bioshock 2 is going to take a lot of willpower to finish. It's not very good. I will continue my Skyrim adventures with the Dawnguard DLC.
As for co-op/tag team LPs, I think we'll FINALLY finish Resident Evil 5 within the week. Voyeur and I are very close to completing it, and then we will be moving on to another game. I'm not sure what yet. Perhaps the Magicka DLC. Mesk and I continue to record Hunted. I expect these videos to start going up shortly before December. Depends on what I have to upload at the time. His videos of Hunted should be much more chaotic than mine as my netcode causes strange things on his end.
I've stopped work on Bioshock Infinite, mostly because Alien Isolation has a lot less issues and has been exceptionally entertaining over the last few sessions. There are things that happen in that game that really...I can't describe. Shauna and I are about halfway done the game. It's taking a lot longer because we're playing on hard...and it really is difficult. I still think that the low number of save points is a stupid idea though. We have some LPs planned out for when we finish Alien. I wouldn't expect to see these until like...February of next year though, so I won't bother announcing them.
So rest of November looks like:
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
Unreal Tournament 3
Skyrim
Alien Isolation
December will likely look like:
Hunted: Demon's Forge
Skyrim
Bioshock Infinite
And one of the following: Half Life Episode 2 or Brigmore Witches
Expect other random videos and clips. Keep an eye on my Public Google drive as well for access to unreleased video.

Accidental "Success"
Note to self: "Fanny Trampling" is obviously a...thing somewhere (apparently Germany and Italy), because Bioshock Episode 2 got way too many hits in the first 24 hours (over 120...and most hits were less than 5 seconds). And yes, I knew exactly what I was doing at the time. The title was not an accident. Just the views. Seriously, I consider 15 views in the first 24 hours successful.
Plan to alternate uploading Bioshock and other videos continues. I will be entering a very unproductive stage soon, meaning I will probably be doing more recording than anything else...so thankfully I have a lot of videos prepared.
Otherwise...no new news really.

Opt for the Cliche?
Debating posting horror/creepy games for the month of October cause...Halloween? Meh, I dunno. Usually I just post whatever the heck I want. Maybe I shall post a higher frequency of such such videos for this month.
OKAY SO SCHEDULE.
Bioshock 1 begins uploading today. I will be uploading two Bioshock episodes every odd numbered day (ie. Oct 1, Oct 3, Oct. 5 etc.) At that rate, I will be done uploading the entire LP by the end of the month.
On even numbered days, I will be alternating uploads between: Guild Wars 2, Unreal Tournament 3, Haunted Mansion (Gamecube), Bioshock Infinite and Skyrim.
Expect Half Life 2 Episode 2 by the end of the month. Expect Dishonoured: Brigmore Witches early November.
Extra Life is on October 25. I am in a dodgeball tournament that day as well, so I will be joining in the video games after 5pm and pulling an all-nighter.
If I have free time, I will likely make some silly custom titlecards for YouTube. Top of the list for these is UT3.
As for co-op projects (holy crap I'm doing a lot of videos), I will continue Burial at Sea with Shauna before moving on to the new Alien game being released. I will continue playing Resident Evil 5 with Voyeur and I expect to start Hunted: The Demon's Forge with Mesk once he is done some of his other projects. That brings me to my next news...
I, uh, may or may not be voice acting a small part in an audiobook...heh...
I will post the link here when it is released...if it is released publicly.

Gone on Vacation
As of tomorrow I will be gone on vacation. I will be back the first week of September. While I am gone, I will post videos from my phone on a semi-regular basis.
You should see:
The rest of Penumbra Black Plague
Skyrim
Neverwinter Dungeons
Resident Evil 5 (posted by GameVoyeur on his channel)
Dishonored: Brigmore Witches (at lest the first few episodes)
And anything else I find that might interest you.
I don't know what internet or phone reception will be like, so if you message me and I don't reply, I'm not ignoring you on purpose.
See you all September 2.

The Next Few Weeks
Hey all, I won't be available to play any games for the next few weeks. I will be leaving on Monday for two weeks and in the time I have left at home I have two work shifts, a wedding, a friend visiting from out of town, a ton of last minute encoding and uploading, packing, cleaning, and running assorted errands. I will not have time to play games. I am sorry. In addition, it is extremely hot in this room (35+ degrees Celsius). I am Canadian and I live in a dry place where it rarely gets above 25 degrees for long periods of time. We have had a bit of a heat wave this summer. It is slowly killing me. I do not have air conditioning...just a little fan that blows hot air around. This means I will be getting very little sleep, but I still will be trying because I have been losing sleep because of a back injury. So all in all I will be a busy, tired and agonized individual for the next 5 days, and will be declining any offers to play games. Please do not take offense to this. Or do. I just won't care because I'm grouchy and I gave you fair warning. Now just imagine me grinning stupidly here.
I will however, provide you with videos this week and while I am gone. I may reduce uploads to once every two days so I do not run out of material or in case I miss a day because my internet/phone connection where I am going will be...patchy. This also means you probably won't be able to contact me easy, so again, I'm not ignoring you...I'm just out of touch. I will return August 31 and be available again for games a few days after (I have plans so far for September 1).
This has been a heat-induced public announcement.
PS - Capture Card arrived in the mail.

Forgot a Title
This is the final week of my contract job. I'll be sad to leave this place, but I have a summer of part-time work, catch-up with LPs and writing ahead. July approaches and I'll be around for most of it. This is what you can expect for the next couple of weeks:
Solo LPs
Transistor - Finish uploading by the end of June.
Half Life Episode 1 - Begin uploading this week (probably starting June 25 or 26)
Dishonored DLC - Alternate with Half Life Episode 1
Dark Souls - IT BEGINS EARLY JULY. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR RAGE.
Co-op LPs/videos
Really up in the air to be honest.
Unreal Tournament 3 will be delayed until the people I plan on playing with get some personal affairs sorted out.
Borderlands 1 - Might be an LP
Neverwinter - Not really an LP, but I'm recording enough of it that it theoretically COULD be.
Magicka DLC - Probably going to do this with Voyeur
Evil Within - Late Summer/Early Fall (whenever it's released) with Shauna
Just Cause 2 - Multiplayer MOD has apparently been "updated." Max potential for silliness.
EDIT - Offer still stands to join us on the Dragon server in Neverwinter. Rins@drschwa, SvetlanaMcnature@drschwa. If you join, I shall make you pants.

Spring Schedule
All right, so I had a busy weekend. I got a lot of recording and video editing done, which surprised me. I'm not sure what my time is going to be like this week, but I'll have a lot to post to tide you over until my next recording session. I have completed and processed LP footage from:
Bioshock Infinite (an adventure in floating things and creepy religious overtones played with Shauna)
Penumbra Overture (an adventure in puppies and tunnels played with Shauna)
Left 4 Dead 2 (campaigns and mods played with various people)
I have recorded, but unprocessed footage from:
Half Life 2 (which may require a little bit of extra editing as the combination of Fraps and my computer results in catastrophic results...Fraps is a little unstable with HL2 for some reason)
Dishonored (which is a Blind playthrough. I am loving it, but am outrageously terrible at being sneaky)
I am debating whether to just stagger footage (ie alternate posting the videos from different games) or fully posting an LP before I start to post another. The advantage to the former is that I focus more on one game at a time. The advantage to the latter is you won't have to wait long for videos from a particular game you want to see. There hasn't been too much interest in the Left 4 Dead 2 material, so I'll probably hold that in reserve and focus on Bioshock Infinite and Half Life 2. That is my plan, if you have any comments or requests on posting, let me know.
With this in mind, you should start seeing new videos by tomorrow or Wednesday.
Dark Souls will probably be a summer LP at this rate.
ALSO: after like...3 months, Magicka has I think two chapters left. This is mostly my fault for the delay...heh.
Bioshock Infinite (an adventure in floating things and creepy religious overtones played with Shauna)
Penumbra Overture (an adventure in puppies and tunnels played with Shauna)
Left 4 Dead 2 (campaigns and mods played with various people)
I have recorded, but unprocessed footage from:
Half Life 2 (which may require a little bit of extra editing as the combination of Fraps and my computer results in catastrophic results...Fraps is a little unstable with HL2 for some reason)
Dishonored (which is a Blind playthrough. I am loving it, but am outrageously terrible at being sneaky)
I am debating whether to just stagger footage (ie alternate posting the videos from different games) or fully posting an LP before I start to post another. The advantage to the former is that I focus more on one game at a time. The advantage to the latter is you won't have to wait long for videos from a particular game you want to see. There hasn't been too much interest in the Left 4 Dead 2 material, so I'll probably hold that in reserve and focus on Bioshock Infinite and Half Life 2. That is my plan, if you have any comments or requests on posting, let me know.

Dolphin
I have been thinking of LPing Gamecube games for quite some time now in addition to my PC games. I think it would be a nice mix up from the usual and I already have a list of about 5 games I'd like to LP. The only problem is that I do not have a capture card. This poses a problem. Thankfully I can use Dolphin emulator, but my main recording computer isn't quite up to snuff. The game works, but the lag is significant. It's actually a little painful to watch let alone play. Therefore, I will be trying it on a gaming laptop when I get it back.
Meanwhile, the Diablo 2 Co-op LP should be done uploading tonight and I assume we will be moving on to the expansion soon. Half life 1 is almost complete. I have most of it recorded on my hard drive. I just need to edit and encode the segments. There has been much silliness in my recent recording sessions including me not realizing that I wasn't recording for an hour and a half. I was quite angry. Lastly, I have a Penumbra: Overture LP almost complete that I have been working on with Shauna. That should be uploaded late next week.
So in summary:
Diablo 2 Act 4 - Nov. 10
Half Life 1 videos - Nov. 12-15
Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction: TBA
GameCube LPs: Lost Kingdoms - TBA
If anyone has a request for a PC LP, please let me know. If not, I probably will move on to games that I feel like playing (right now the forerunners are F.E.A.R. 1, Overlord and Thief 1)

Too Many Pigs
Shauna and I finished A Machine for Pigs today. We had mixed feelings of the game, but ultimately we enjoyed playing. It surprisingly didn't match up to Outlast in terms of overall horror, but, it did have one section that I was nearly paralyzed with fear, so I'll give it that. I think it might have been an early instance of a pig man being right behind me with no warning, but I was crippled for about 30-40 minutes playing where I became a shaking mess of garbled words. Stay tuned for part 7 (whenever I catch up in my encoding) to see me almost fall apart completely.
In other news, I am a mad genius without the genius in that I have concocted an new idea for a (hopefully) humourous compilation video. The idea came to me when I put the image of two incredibly creepy ghost children to the theme of Captain Planet. I'll let your imagination run wild for what the rest of the video will be like. I'm not sure of the timeline on that one as I want to get the full LP out first, which requires me to sync audio, make comments, clean up the video as best I can and encode another 4 (ish) hours of gameplay.
Half life has been paused for a moment to create more hard drive space and for when I have a good chunk of time to sit down and play. Expect this LP to be done mid-October. Also, Diablo 2 will be LPed. I have done some tests and the videos have been produced perfectly. The only issue that I may have is balancing audio. Regardless, I will be co-op LPing with two other people.

Lots to Upload
For once. I guess that's what happens when you only have a couple of shifts a week. The frequency of uploads may change when I get a full time job, but for now I just have to worry about flooding people's feeds.
Hit 200 subscribers yesterday, which is a pretty awesome feeling. I make and post videos as a hobby, but I put a lot of effort into it, and the fact that people are actually interested in watching, as small as it is, is a real honour and makes every minute spent playing, recording, editing, encoding and uploading worth it. I've never been interested in making money off of my channel or attracting a huge amount of subscribers, so having a small viewer group is all I could really ask for. As for joining groups or partnerships, I will only do so if it is a group of people I know, have worked with them in the past, and share a lot of the same interests. Anyhow, I want to thank everyone who watches my videos!
On that note, I should be done uploading Outlast by Monday or Tuesday depending on my connection. I have everything encoded and ready to upload, and I've had Billy Joel's "Piano Man" stuck in my head on loop for the last three days because of this LP, but it's done. I was much more freaked out during this game than I was playing Amnesia. As for A Machine for Pigs, I'm not sure what the plan is for that LP. Shauna and I looked at it the day it came out, and there's this strange blue filter on it that wasn't present on any of the trailers or gameplay previews. I wasn't too concerned about it, though I must admit it doesn't look that great. Regardless, I believe we plan on making an LP of that in the future.
Diablo 1 and Half Life 1 will continue to alternate in uploads until they are finished. I expect Diablo 1 to be fully uploaded by the end of next week (unless I take a day or two off to give my network a break) and Half Life 1 will be finished and completely uploaded probably the week after. I still haven't finished Half Life 1, but I will say that there are some incredibly silly moments ahead concerning some soldiers and the ninja assassin fellows.
As for future LPs, I have had requests to play through Diablo 2 and Black Mesa. I will probably leave Black Mesa to just before the New Year as I want a bit of a break after Half Life 1. I don't know how similar the two are, but it would be weird playing essentially the same game back to back. What would be interesting would be to compare the two. As for Diablo 2, I have my reservations about it. I may do this LP as with 1 to 2 other people who have expressed interest in playing. My first worry is that the game will not record well as I've had problems with that in the past. Fraps and the quality of my computer, however, have been improved in the last 5 years. My second issue is that I have had...bad experiences with the game in the past, partially of my doing and I am not eager to repeat that experience. My greatest fear is that there will be conflict of interest and the LP will fall apart, but these people seem like decent fellows, and I'm much more mature than I was 5 years ago.
I also plan on maybe LPing Overlord and Overlord 2, working my way down the list of my favourite games to play. Another few options would be games I have never played before: Miasmata, the Thief series, Bastion, Torchlight, Torchlight 2 and Deus Ex. If there are any other suggestions of games you would like to see me LP, leave a comment here or on my channel and I'll do my best to fulfill those requests. There are very few games I will refuse to record/LP.

Dungeon Siege 3 Complete
I have finished and uploaded all of the Dungeon Siege 3 LP. The playlist is complete if you are looking for a specific video or are interested in watching them in order. I'm planning on doing a review of the whole series, comparing 1 through 3 to each other in terms of graphics, style, music, playability and more. Not sure what format I will do this in. I'm still interested in reviewing and critiquing games. It's too bad there are many people out there more entertaining than myself!
I have finished the Diablo 1 LP, which will begin uploading in a few days time. I am currently working on my next LP, but am unsure of how long it will take to finish it, especially since I have terrible aim (there's a hint for you). I will continue to produce LPs because I am enjoying it and because I really need to keep myself busy while I find work. I will go insane otherwise.
Coming Up:
Diablo 1 LP - Uploading every 1 - 2 days (LP is just over 10 hours long meaning there will be around 20 parts, which means that the LP should be fully uploaded within a week and a half)
Current LP - In the recording stage. Waiting until Diablo 1 is rendered and encoded before editing begins.
Machine for Pigs with Shauna - Videos will be produced and edited the week of September 10
Outlast with Shauna - Tentative - Not sure if that will be an LP, but it will probably be recorded week of September 4 if that's the case
I also have more Left 4 Dead 2 videos, but people haven't seemed too interested in those. I will upload those when I run out of LP material in this case.
*In terms of Amnesia, I will probably be equally scared as the first. I really don't know much about the game though, so a lot of it should be a surprise. I just know that enemies are supposed to be...unpredictable.
**In terms of Outlast, it has the potential to scare me the most as its set in an insane asylum. Bad shit happened to people in those places. They are not good places. Too many movies and TV shows freaked me out. This will be either silly or terrifying.

Revised Video Schedule
Because I realized that I'd be flooding people's inboxes with videos they are probably not as interested in.
