B-Log? What's a B-Log? Where's the A-Log?

So, here we are! The blogoland-tube-sphere thing.

Let's get straight to it: I've got a sore throat which is why I haven't been making videos as of late, of any variety. Once this bastard is healed (and no, I don't know when it will; I don't own a DeLorean) I will resume making videos ASAP. Time is still, and always will be, an issue with my upload frequency, so just be patient and you will see videos in that box soon :D The acing videos will be priority one; you guys have been asking for the last few (the most important :P) so they'll be the first videos to be uploaded. My "Minesweeper: Behind the Scenes" video will probably follow, and while I was sick, I started a new level, so I might give you guys a sneak peak of what little there is of that too. It's another remake, so don't get your hopes up for "new ideas," but it'll be complicated; mega-complicated ;)

I've also been contemplating a lot of subject matter for commentaries (if I'd been at home not sick, I would have been talking my judgmental arse off :P) and this has mainly been along the lines of YouTube partnership (my lowly opinion of its transformation of YouTube in to Hollywood through subversive manipulation, not my "road to stardom" :P), women, the education system, and a bunch of other shit. After thinking it over, I realised that I simply don't have the time to say all those things in videos, nor did I see the point in putting video game footage behind my ramblings (are we that simple, people?) This way, I can quickly type something and let you guys read it. I'll definitely keep doing commentaries; I love doing them, and you guys appear to love listening to me talk (just going off the comments here :P) but I feel that non-gaming subject matter need not interfere with the gaming footage, so I can stick that stuff here without any dilemmas.

Speaking of commentary... LittleBigShow; we've gotta talk. LBS was highly successful and extremely well received by you guys. It was also a pain in the arse to script :P Going through 50 levels (the majority of which aren't up to scratch at all; just the law of averages speaking here) and picking 3, only 3, to feature was painstaking and overbearing. If you guys like that kind of production, then I should keep doing it, but it just takes too long to script. This is where the improvised commentary idea came from: it was a way of cutting down production time. If I can just make it up as I go, why write it down and then say it? Fuck that :P LBS can continue with this change with only minor side effects. First, levels would still be submitted by you guys via Google Moderator, personal messages and channel comments, but I would now simply request LBP.me links and look at the happy/sad face ratio (not how big/small those figures are, the ratio of happy faces to sad faces) to decide which levels to feature. Levels would therefore have to have been played at least ~50 times for them to have enough ratings for me to judge their worthiness, but from there, I can just stick them on my queue, commence playing/recording/talking, and cut out irrelevance and dead silence during editing. Simple :D

Well, that was a shitload of words. Take a breather - a nap if you need to - and I'll catch you guys later :)
