Phase 2

I know I made a post a little while ago about stuff that was coming out soon, but I wanted to update that, so I decided I'd make a new entry. Also... sorry about not posting anything here for like... an entire month... It's been hard for me to come up with ideas about what to write.

Now that I've got something in mind, I'd love to be able to let you guys in on what's going to happen with Phase 2 of my YouTube channel, since a couple people have been saying "Why do you keep saying that?" Allow me to explain!

Calling it "phase 2" is just cooooool! Well, I mean, there's that, but that's not the only thing about it. A Dramatic Reading of a Yearbook Signing is going to preface Phase 2 of my channel, as well as be the opening to Unfair-Y Tales. With that started, I'll move on to a lot of things I've been wanting to get into! I'm done with all the lame tasks I had to do to get my channel up to snuff, so I finally have the time necessary to work on and get ready for new stuff!

A Dramatic Reading is going to come up around the time that Liz and I finish Ibb & Obb, so you can get a feel for the timeframe (There are 15 stages in Ibb & Obb and as of right now we're on 10 or 11). I've got time to work on more semi-scripted stuff, and also just plan out my next videos, so you can expect a lot more obscure game videos, and also plenty more Sunday uploads in the future! 

However, phase 2 isn't all about moving forward and changing stuff up. I also intend to go back and fix up what I'm lacking. I'm going to cycle through the requests I've still got too, but as Liz brought up a very valid point, there's not as much point in me filling out requests for people that don't exist on YouTube anymore, so I'm going to root out the ones that are superfluous as of now, while getting through the meat of them. I also plan on finishing off/continuing series that I used to work on way back when, while also making them even better! 

I will definitely be revisiting the Selected Genre Series, with help from you guys, of course! I ran into a snag with the third episode, as it was fighting games, and I planned on filming Aggressors of Dark Kombat, but couldn't... I will in the future though!  In addition to that, I'll be going back into my 1 vs 3 videos to finish off the rest of the cast, which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I'll also finish the DMTV Movelist during Phase 2! I'm hoping to have at least one series going at a time that I can upload weekly, like I'm currently doing with Ibb & Obb. Me and Liz will also be branching out during Phase 2 with Couples' VERSUS and Couples' Competition once Ibb & Obb is finished.

I also plan to stream a bit more often than I do now. I'm finally getting a community going, and they're helping me to advance with the games I'm playing, so I've been really excited about streaming for probably.. The first time ever. You can expect plenty more Skylanders streams in the future! 

There's a bunch coming up, so don't forget to tune in! 

MUGEN, I missed you

I've got a lot of games, that much is certain. There's not a lot of them that I actually go back to once I stop playing them, there has to be some crazy urge or pull towards them if I'm going to go back. However, there's only one real engine that I work with, and that's MUGEN. I guess with infinite possibilities, there's always something new to come back to, though I haven't really thought about anything regarding it in a while.
I had a bunch of characters waiting to be tested and I've been compiling a collection of stages to try out, for basically years. I finally went back in and put all the new characters in and playtested them, and now I'm working on adding the stages, which is a lengthy process for me. Actually adding them isn't really a problem, it's finding themes and characters to go on them. For every stage in my MUGEN, I've got a base theme, and then two characters that will appear on that stage in arcade mode and they have their own themes, and it takes me literal hours to find the right themes for most of these guys. All that work, but when it just feels right... That feeling is amazing. I think you could only get that kind of feeling with an engine that you can work with, it's not the same as customizing a character in an already complete game. 
Anyway, I'm actually getting through a lot of the stages in the folder, and I'm ready to jump back in to MUGEN on the regular as well, so you can expect quite a few new matches up on my channel in the near future. I realized recently that I started my channel basically as a MUGEN-only channel, and once I got my first EasyCap, I kinda just stopped caring about MUGEN. 
I've still got a ton of requests, and also tons more stuff since I last had a video up. A lot has changed in my life since I first started YouTube, but I still do play MUGEN, and I intend to go back to it. I have been playing faaaaaaaaaaaaaar too many shooters lately, and I would love to get back into fighting games. What better way to head back into fighters than to play one with everything I love?
