2018 Update

I haven't used this blog in a loooooooooooong time, but why use pastebin when I have my own blogspot page?

Anyway, way back in 2009 I used to watch a lot of those Let's Play videos, and that really inspired me into doing them myself. But the experiment didn't work, at least at the time, because apparently I had a bad style of commentary or something, but in any case not many people liked them.

Then in 2012 livestreaming became a thing and that kinda killed the old Let's Play format, because people now would rather interact with the one playing live and not watch a pre recorded video. That's pretty much the reason why I stopped in 2013.

At the same time I was a big fan of the Angry Video Game Nerd (and somehow I can relate to his style of reviewing) and I noticed at the same time LPs died, many people who did it in the past switched to do reviews, podcasts, etc.

It looks like this is the only way to go on YouTube these days, and I could take advantage of that to improve my video editing skills. I would have to work very hard on that kind of videos though, I'd have to script anything, and that's where I suck the most. I could stare at my screen for 5 hours doing nothing. I'll test the waters with a few KH videos I wanted to do when I actually rant about game mechanics (including a certain superboss...).

In these 4 years I did those KH videos because I didn't want to leave my channel unactive. It worked pretty well when the HD ports came out and I uploaded clean footage of them.

And I also tried Twitch. Other than the fact I have 3rd world internet and streaming isn't easy, I couldn't get a single view by casual playing in the way I want. I tried the speedrunning route (because I'm good at KH2FM) but man I HATE it. That's the kind of stuff which makes you hate the game you love, I speedrun for 10 minutes and I need a month break from gaming, that's the problem. The amount of concentration you have to put to pull off perfect gameplay all in a row running against the time is ridiculous. I didn't expect it would have been this insane by looking at other people. And I can't imagine how it takes to people who speedrun over 12 hours a day and go for world records and such. That goes beyond my physical limits and I'm not sure if it can damage my health. I can try keep going for now, but I certainly can't put my whole heart in the game and get world records.

At least, now that you know I want to make quality content on YT, if anyone is interested in doing graphics and such let me know.
