Here I will be posting my thoughts, actions, and other misc. information pertaining to my videos. This could be thoughts on something I recorded and the finished product, recent events and my opinions, or little tips and tricks I learned that you could use for your channel. Whatever it is, the info will be in this blog. Be sure to check back often, too, because some day I may post a little Easter Egg ;).

So I started making shorts to go with my uploads, and let's just say, the first one (for the previous episode) was quite... interesting in how it blew up. As was the preview for this episode, the Calamity Buchannon Rant,mp4.
Shorts are weird and scary.
But hopefully also super helpful! I mean, if a 10-30 view per video creator such as I can get 1,700 views on a short, maybe those 1,700 short views may translate to people becoming interested in my regular content!
If you're one of those viewers, welcome! I'm very glad to have you. Be sure to join my discord to keep up with the entire sparky multiverse that's slowly forming before your very eyes :3
Hello again! Back into the swing of things, we're starting off a new series of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! I have been a huge fan of the Zelda franchise all my life, and these two latest games are no exception. I played Breath of the Wild a ton, and even if I didn't complete it, I did spend a lot of time doing side quests and little things around Hyrule.
See, I had seen a ton of people play and finish the game, especially for speedruns, so all I wanted to do was try to mess around with speedrunning strats as much as my joycons would allow, and see what the devs had to offer all around the different regions. And boy did they have a lot!
And now?
THERE ARE 3x AS MANY REGIONS!
Holy goodness, a sky and underground area, both the size of Hyrule??? I cannot freaking WAIT to get into this.
This first episode is admittedly a little slow, but that seems to just be how things are with my content. Wait for episode 5 or 6, then you'll be HOOKED! Trust me, I'm gonna try to pick up every speedrunning trick I can, and when I do, oh boy. We'll be having SO much fun. I've already discovered item duplication glitches, and as I haven't updated my game since buying it, *they still work*! The easy, simple ones, that is. You can see how this is going to go off the rails real quick.
Also, I feel it's worth mentioning that I'm taking full advantage of ChatGPT4 for this video. This video is a bit experimental in that I'm using GPT4 to write the title, tags, and description (with a little editing to make it more my style, but not too much to ruin the SEO). Hopefully this will cause the video to reach a wider audience, we'll see! And if you're concerned, the only thing which is a little off-brand for me is the description, but honestly, who even reads those? The title is still pretty close to something I'd write, honestly, just putting the game name before the main title, rather than after. While I prefer to put it after, I'm leaving that as-is, because I think maybe it'll make it clearer what the video's about to new viewers, or cause the title to be more eye-catching to my intended audience. I think people write titles that way, and the AI picked up on it, for a reason, so we'll see how it works out. I could talk a lot about the decisions I'm making in this episode and why, but...
Anyways, that's enough gushing and rambling for now, go check out the video below!
Hey! Long time no see! I've made a few episodes since the last blog, but I finally got back on the blog spree today. How ya been? Doing well? And the wife? The dog? There's so much I want to ask you, but we have no time. I have another video coming up this week! Yes, that's right, I'm actually getting back into it! I'm doing DougDoug's one year plan, so trying to make at least one video every week, starting with this one.
And boy is it a running start! I haven't posted anything in months, yet YouTube decided that due to my Dall-E created thumbnail art, exquisite naming convention, and not terrible tags, this video would grow 5x faster than almost any of my past videos. 50 views and counting, and over 2k impressions! It's crazy!
So anyways, yeah, I'll be back in a few days to give you a better update in the post for the series I'm really passionate about, Everhood. And maybe in future blog posts I'll hint as to the purpose of this Minecraft series! Trust me, it's gonna be special.
So many great things happening this episode! We made two new friends, found two more dogs, got lots of money, watched 1002 people die... all around it was a very fine day! How about in the real world? Eh, well, in the real world things are going slow. It's hard to find motivation to do YouTube sometimes when nobody's watching, but then you get that 1-2 views that keep you going through the hardest times. It helps that I still love making the videos, and I still have hope that even if not today, someday people will be entertained by the content I'm putting out now. The future will make today's effort worth it. ... It would just be nice if the future came sooner, that's all...
Going a little slow today, if you don't mind. One Break The Game video. It sucks because Bannerlord keeps acting up, so I couldn't make a video on that today. I'll put more of that up tomorrow though, so it's alright :). Hope we get to see more copy cat and dog!
Broo I so got you hahaha... Yeah... All, two of you? Maybe? Yeah..... It's a bit sad being a small YouTuber. But today's a fun day! April Fools! It's so fun doing this stuff every year, even when it keeps me up 'till 8 AM when I'm usually in bed at 5 AM. I was initially going to just have this as a Skyrim modded run for 30 mins that I just uploaded on its own, but then the idea to split it up and add effects came to me and I ended up making 10 different 5 minute videos all with different effects. The end result is kinda what I wanted and kinda not. It kinda is because I wanted something weird and unique to post today, but it kinda isn't because I didn't really think about it before around midnight :/. Very little planning, very little time for execution (only got about the 3 hours after I was supposed to be asleep to work on it). BUT! It turned out, and I'm glad I got to celebrate another "holiday" with you all :). All... all of you... oh goodness the realization is returning, uh... LOOK! A distraction! Lol, happy April Fools :). Hope you all have a wonderful day.
After eight long years it's finally released - Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord! Anybody who knows Warband has been waiting for a very long time for this game's release. Ages of "Bannerlord when?" have finally been answered. At long last, the peasants shall have their harvesting season! I can't tell you how much my brother and I are excited to play through this. After so long of playing and messing around with Warband, we get the sequel we've always wanted. I can't wait to try out all the new features and make a full run of it, and I doubt anybody else out there can either, considering the Steam metrics absolutely exploded upon its release XD. So rise, butterlords; rise! Take your place at the high table of Uxkhal, and raise your skulls... to Taleworlds!
