Random Notes and Stuff....

My YouTube channel sort of grew a life of its own, and just as Teddy in Persona 4 grew a person within his hollow shell, the Kentaro personality grew from the (albeit virtual) social network that arose from it.

It was not at all expected, because for one, I didn't think you could meet people through YouTube, and for two, I didn't expect to use it for more than old Street Fighter Alpha 3 videos which I copied from VHS. Somehow, I ended up going as far as doing partial LPs of videos with commentary and/or overlay comments.

That was fun, and although I ran low on time and money, and even willpower, I enjoyed doing it for the time, and enjoyed seeing that people can really have fun on the Internet and talk about a subject they enjoy. Especially Atlus games, apparently!

Well, just wanted to say thanks, although I think people tend to more read my LJ or use actual YouTube to communicate.

I will be likely not making any more videos for the year, but I hope to take up the hobby of doing LPs and other videos in the future. It is fun, and hobbies do not really have to be something you can easily explain.

Also, vichudoll (I keep calling her Vi or just V.) has a youtube channel now, although she seems to be sleeping again, if not altogether net-dead.

As for me and my "social media presence", I will make no real effort to maintain it, for a while. Any messages send to here or the LJ, I will reply to, but overall, I got too many faces and too many places, and if anything, I shall delete some of them.

Thanks again, folks, you made it fun.

Even without the flying.

Drone War

Rather than talk about the real-life use of UAWs or "Drones" in battle, there is a flash game called Drone War that I came across [ linked here ]. It doesn't seem to be in active development anymore, but it is a lot easier to learn that, say, StarCraft : Brood War (or Starcraft 2, I expect, but I haven't played SC2 yet and prob. won't for a few years).

...well, that's all for now...

The screw is back but it still does not work. Darn it.

Yeah, I put the PC back together again.

...but it still doesn't work.

I ran out of time to work on it but I also thought at the time, that it'd be better for me to do something else with my time anyhow, and set up something more modern for video capture....

I might make more random talkies about random stuff, but nothing as time-consuming as LPs for a few years.

Um, yeah, it has been a while...

Due to a misplaced screw, and me not wanting to spend any time on it, I haven't done any more LP-like stuff recently.

In theory I could blame some studies that I'm doing, but, that would be a lie (well, an oversimplification and jumping to blaming externals rather than taking responsibility): I have plenty of time but fill most of it with stuff that is of questionable worth.

So I decided to get over that an recenter my life on stuff more useful. Also, I want to do really well in upcoming exams so in the short term at least, I'll be mostly studying.

For a change of pace, I started actually reading "normal" books. You know, non-technical ones. Although I am not sure how normal my selections actually are, since they include a book on exorcism and another one on developing memory.

Well, during the summer I hope to do something even more studious and make some videos of that. As for LPs.... well, the PS4 might change the face of that with the "share" button and all, there is already a bit of a glut, and I hardly ever play games anymore.

It has been fun, I don't regret it, but I do think I'm diversifying my time investment beyond solo gameplay, which never was my main thing (I was into game parties, you know, when people get together in real life and play games).

Everything has its season, I guess.
