Still Remaining On Track.

Hey, everybody, Just wanted to post an update on what's going on and what will happen for videos in the future.

I currently finished my training course over at a Verizon call center and will begin on the production floor today. The pay will be going up and will be working the closing shift. The only thing I don't like about it is I have to work Sundays. I get Wednesday and Thursday off, so at least it's consecutive, unlike before where it was Sundays and Tuesdays.

Now, about videos. I will be getting that HD PVR in May. I have caught up on my bills and will be able to afford it. I would of gotten it last week, but a friend was selling his PS Vita with an 8GB memory card and a copy of UMvC3 for $200. For that price, I couldn't pass it up. So, now I have a Vita and will be waiting for more games on it. My next paycheck will be for the HD PVR. I'm also looking into getting a USB microphone to do voice. I've been using a Logitech USB headset for voice, but it's starting to fall apart. So that'll be another great addition.

Now there is a game that is coming out in June that I definitely will be getting and will LP. I'm not gonna say which one, but I'll let you guys guess. As for other videos, I will figure out what to do when I do get my PVR. I might do another LP before the other game I'll LP comes out. We'll see when we cross that bridge.

 That's all I wanted to go over with everyone. I can't wait to start doing videos again. When I get my new equipment, you'll see a video of me unboxing everything, so keep an eye out.

Until next time,

Staying On Track.

Hey, everybody. Time for a blog update.

So, I have started taking calls at my new job and boy what an experience it is. You definitely get a mixed bag of people to talk to, your easy to work with people and your complete and total hard-asses who want to get as much credits off of you for their bill, just because they find a small exploit somewhere. It's a chore, but interesting work.

Anyways, to get back on track here, I have upgraded my computer with a new video card and processor. Therefor, I now have a PC that can edit HD videos. So, that means I will be getting an HD recorder here later in the month or early May. I have decided on the Hauppauge HD PVR, mainly because of the great reviews I've heard about it.

So it won't be too much longer before I get back into recording for you guys. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I do appreciate everyone who have watched my videos and subscribed to me since the beginning or even as of recently. It means a lot that others enjoy my work.

That's it for this update. As always, I'll post a new blog if anything changes.

Until Next Time,

P.S. If you want to add me on Steam, I play Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 and would like to have some good teammates. Send me a message on Youtube first, and we'll talk then. Later.

The Future To Come.

Hey, everybody. How's it going? Sorry you haven't heard back from me in over a month.

My training has been keeping me busy and frying my brain. We're basically getting 6 months worth of training in only 10 short weeks and it's pretty intense.

But beside that, I haven't been able to record anything because my Dazzle is for some reason being very difficult with me. It powers on just fine and it's being read by the computer, but is having major trouble keeping up with recording. I uninstalled the drivers and re-installed them multiple times but to no avail.

So in the upcoming weeks, I'll be upgrading my computer and finally getting an HD recording device. Which one, I'm not sure, but am looking at either the Hauppauge HD PVR or Colossus.

I do plan to get a decent camera so I can record unboxings and other fun little tidbits for the real world videos. That PS Eye camera isn't gonna cut it anymore LOL.

Either way, I do plan to get back into recording and LPing games I have yet to play myself. I do promise that it will happen here in the upcoming months. I do miss you guys a lot.

Keep your eyes open and I'll update you guys on anything else that's gonna happen. That it for this Blog update.

Until next time,

Things Are Looking Up Now.

Well, after my last post that was nothing but bad news, I now have mostly great news.

I recently got employed by a subsidiary company that is a call center for Verizon, paid training and then some. I am very grateful for this opportunity and will be making some good money.

Now the thing is I don't start until the 19th or 21st of Feburary, so that means I don't have to frantically look around for a job and I can lounge around and get back to some projects of mine, including the LP I was working on. That's right, for the next two weeks, I'll be getting back to what I love to do, making videos for you guys. Now when I do start training, I won't be doing videos as much, but unlike my last job, I'll have enough time after to do some.

i will do my very best to at least have everything recorded by the time I start training. Then I can focus on getting everything rendered and uploaded for you guys. And I might do some other random things as well.

Well, that's all I wanted to cover for you guys. Hope you keep an eye out for these videos and i'll keep everyone updated.

Until next time,

I Just Can't Seem To Catch A Break.

Well, everyone. It seems like this blog is nothing but bad news.

I recently became unemployed this past week. I didn't get fired or anything like that. I was working for a local fund raiser for children's charities and it turned out to be a potential scam. And it got out to the media here in my hometown. All of us didn't want to look like the guilty party, so we all quit. So now, I'm back on a long and hard search for a job again.

Now, I know I promised an LP was in the works, and unfortunately, it WAS. But now its put on the back burner for now. And the same goes for any other videos I had planned.

I do wish to keep making videos for you guys, but my current situation is tough. And if I don't get something here soon, it's only gonna get worse. I thank everyone who has stuck by me for a while and for those who just recently discovered me, but please understand that my priorities come first. I promise when everything is situated back to normal, I will continue with my projects.

Until next time, everyone.
