And now for something completely different. By which I mean, A post smaller shorter then 1000 words I would have never expected this to occur; in fact by posting this I am throwing away a lot of work on other post drafts that I have yet to actually publish because I think they are “too short”. Although, come to think of it, I’m equally likely to insert a nonsense story at the end of this in order to add some fiber.

In any case, recently I’ve been rather heavily adding youtube videos. Almost all of them are gameplay; many of them are minecraft; some are doom; etc. They (almost) all share one thing in common – commentary.

Now, Although I haven’t actually gotten any messages (being that I have very few subscribers and so forth) on this, but I have seen people provide advice for making “let’s play’s” with advice something like “never talk about stuff unrelated to the video” obviously, I cannot apply this to my since that pretty damn well defines what one of my videos is. Only in one of my videos will I ramble about fighting cazadors in fallout 3, and somehow not clue in at the time that Cazadors are in New Vegas and not Fallout 3. Another suggestion I read about is that the sound of the keyboard/mouse/controller shouldn’t be heard. I don’t think it really matters, to be frank. In fact one could say it adds an extra dimension to the affair. Of course if you have a nice heavy keytronic keyboard (the mechanical switch type… drools) then those will be pretty loud and if you are typing anything you will almost certainly find that nobody can hear a damn thing you say.

Also: I’m well aware that my attempts at humourous lyrics to go with the otherwise wordless music in the games has a tendency to fail. These things aren’t planned; if I could plan the lyrics they would be a lot more smooth; it’s the “on-the-fly” nature of it that makes it entertaining, dammit. Same goes for my youtube videos demonstrating progress on any of my programming projects.
