Why one video per day

So, I've seriously been spammed lately on YT on PMs by people who want me to upload more, and my reply to any of them is no. I simply can't and these are some good reasons:

1) I'm graduating from high school this year, so I need at least 6 hours a day of homework plus 5 hours of school in the morning (yep, Saturday included). If you're coming from the US, this is totally not as easy as you'd think. It can be actually harder than college than what many people say

2) I have a bad internet, which slows down while uploading. Back in the day when I was uploading more the file size usually ended up in being like 100MB. Now I get 800MB to 2GB files because I do a lot of quality control, and it takes like 4/10 hours to upload. And then I have to wait until the video is done so I can post the thumbnail and publish it, unlike when I didn't have partnership. It's a pain.

3) Nobody would sit for 3 hours watching me playing a videogame. More I upload, less people actually watch entirely the videos. I know views aren't important, but why doing more effort to get less?

So after this said, I hope I won't get questions about this again. I don't have 100k subs yet, so I'm still forced to do what my subscribers tell me to do. 

And yea, I'll try to get done R&C3 before the final exams if I get a ton of requests, because I'd like to do another game series instaed.

Google Epic Fail

So, last couple days there has been an issue with many blogs. Basically there has been a video from SSoHPKC (one of my favorite LPers, check him out), which was a GTA 4 The Ballad of Gay Tony part which has been appearing in many blogs by referral link. In other words both the bloggers and the video get unwanted traffic.

You know why all this BS happened? Because there was a mission in the video called "Blog This" (the one when you go to the internet cafe), and fucking Google threw the video in the blog section just by the name of the mission. It's pretty similar to when I uploaded a KH2FM video which has "Magic" in the title, and YT thought it was from a band called Magic and got unwanted traffic.

The big deal is how many IDIOT bloggers are now being dickheads on the video saying Seamus is doing that to get traffic, and they think it's clumsy to let people comment while in fact he didn't know anything. Would they even look at all the hundred thousands of subscribers he had?

And yea, this is coming from somebody who has been watching him for over 3 years. So, I really hope Google/YT will stop using this autodetect title words bullshit, because it gets annoying (I remember a Prototype video having this issue as well).

Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance - First Hours of Gameplay

So, I've been playing a lot KH DDD lately, so I'm gonna give out my thoughts. So, first of all the battle system is the same from BBS, but with much less options IMO. It's a lot harder here to get good commands to use in battles. Second of all, the game is VERY difficult compared to any other KH game I've played. The bosses don't have almost any openings, and it's harder to damage them forcing you to spam distance attacks all the time.
Fortunately the game has a "flowmotion" system (or something), which lets you do damaging attacks while charging a wall, grinding a rail, etc even though you can get hit during it.

There's also a "drop" system; that means after a certain amount of time you get 30 seconds of munny farming from enemies and after that you're forced to switch from Sora to Riku (or viceversa). The problem with this system is if you drop during a boss fight with a character, the fight resets when you go back to the character you were using, and when you're about to finish off a boss, that can be very annoying.

In your party you don't have anymore Donald and Goofy, but instaed you have to get enemies in your party and level them up, and that seems a ripoff of Pokemon IMO.

And also I started directly on Proud (the game was dumb enough to not let me choose Critical before I beat the game once), and I found the first boss with Sora terribly hard, while very easy with Riku because there was a cheap rail during the entire battle. As for now I'm struggling on the third boss because I'm underleveled, and it takes ages to get a level in this game.

It's not the KH game I expected, but if you have a 3DS you may pick it up.

Speaking of 3DS, the capture device is out but unfortunately it's like 200 bucks plus all the shipping. I want to save money now, so I'm not sure when I'll get one. Support me by clicking on the ads on my videos so I may be able to afford it.
