Upload Changes for Phase 2

I've been talking a lot lately about Phase 2 of my YouTube channel here and there, and I just wanted to go into a bit deeper detail about what all of that junk entails. So I'll go right ahead and tell you guys what my uploads are going to be like once Phase 2 begins!
First off, I'm going to do my best to have just one Let's Play going at any given time. I was doing two at the same time recently, and it was just eating up my upload schedule (Couples' Co-Op has Ibb & Obb going and I was working on Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects myself, if you were wondering). As of this week, the footage I had of MN has all been uploaded, so I'm going to finish uploading Ibb & Obb (WE ACTUALLY BEAT THE GAME!) and then I'll go back and finish off Marvel Nemesis. I'm not 100% sure what the next LP will be, but chances are I already have it written down somewhere. I'm going to concentrate on taking things relatively one step at a time. For Let's Plays though, I've decided that I'll be uploading them in the 11 o' clock timeslot on their respective days. The upload schedule itself will remain the same: 

  • Sundays: Vlogs/rants/Unfair-Y Tales
  • Tuesdays: General Gameplay
  • Wednesday: Twitch highlight(s) every other week [Gonna stick to 2 at max]
  • Saturday: Fighting games/beat-em-ups
The next Couples' Co-Op game we'll be going through will be Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. That much is certain. As for my own Let's Plays, I'm not too sure. Since we have time to work on something else, you can expect Couple's Competition and Couples' VERSUS to start up sometime soon! 
I will be getting back into finishing off my old series as well in Phase 2. I need to get back to my roots, and back to the reasons why people watched me in the first place. I'll definitely be going back and finishing off my GNT4 1v3s, since that's something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I'll also be cycling through new content and finishing off the requests that I still have. I really will get to them, regardless of people telling me they'll help me film and they don't actually.. As for the new stuff, I have a set of probably... 100 or so games that I want to film, sooner rather than later. I have a lot of data to go through and hopefully it will help me out in the future.
During Phase 2 I would also like to have one tutorial series going on at a time. When I played Rumble Fighter somewhat religiously, my goal was to make one adventure mode tutorial per month. That was a little hard to follow through with, but I tried. Since RF left OGPlanet, I haven't looked into it so I won't be doing the bm tutorials anymore, unless there's a huge clamoring for them (Which I highly doubt). Therefore, I'll be going back and finishing the DMTV movelist first, and then what I've decided to do next is work on path guides for Skylanders. As far as I know there's only one other person who does this and I find his series terribly unpleasant to watch. Even though his videos grate on my nerves he gets a metric butt-ton of views on them, and I know that I can do them better, with more insight than he provides. After I finish path guides for Skylanders, I'm not too certain what the next thing would be, but I've got ~70 skylanders, so the videos will probably take quite a while to get through anyway. I was considering making God breakdown videos for SMITE, but they started the Know Your Enemy series, and I do not think I can compete with the actual game doing the videos. 
Speaking of SMITE, I was thinking of making MMO videos a once-a-month kind of thing. I was strongly considering doing the victory/defeat animations things once a month,  but I think instead I'll just release them when I get a chance. 
That's what I've got so far, and I hope you're just as ready for Phase 2 to start as I am!

PARTY HARDY~!

My birthday is coming up, on Sept. 20th, and that's pretty much what I've been spending most of time doing lately, getting ready for an AWESOME party. My mom will be visiting the favorite child in Arizona, so I have the house almost to myself, since my aunt is still here. Barring being trapped in Shitopia, this is going to probably be the best party I've had in years. 
We ran into a couple of snags, but all of that should be out of the way by the time the 20th rolls around. You might be wondering why I'm writing about my birthday party here on my blog when generally speaking, my blog has been about my internet persona. Well, that's because I'm going to try doing something new at my birthday party this year! 
If all goes according to plan, I'll be streaming a PvP tournament of Skylanders during the party, so all of you guys that are too far away, have a chance to join in the fun too! It's not totally finalized yet, butttt... 
These are the rules as they stand now
I wrote up the rules with Liz in tow so we could come up with the best wording and how to place them. I wrote them down on a sheet of my easycling Instant Whiteboard paper, so I can actually stick them right to the wall. As you can tell from the rules page, I'll actually be running 6 tournaments, SkyGem Master and SkyGoals in Spyro's Adventure and Giants, and Battle Arena and Ring Out in Swap Force. This is also the first time I'll be able to hand out prizes for the tournament! I've got tons of posters, skylanders, and even a few comics and a game or two to give away! However, most of what I have as prizes are also items that are available in my eBay Store, so if you happen to be looking for variant skylanders, or promo posters from NYCC, look no further than that link right there! I'm pretty affordable too! 
I'm trying to make sure that all of my skylanders are at least level 10 for the tournament, so they won't just get knocked out right away by someone with a level advantage, and if other participants want to bring their own army, they are more than welcome. I'm relatively certain that my friend Caitlin and even Tethrinblaze will be bringing their own. In order to facilitate this, I've been streaming a lot of Skylanders lately over on my Twitch channel, so you might wanna check me out there. That's also where the actual tournament will be streamed!
As many of you know, I'm a cheapskate, so rather than buy the first set of Cards Against Humanity Cards, I decided I would print them and laminate them myself, so that's been taking quite a bit of time out of my days as well. I've finished all the black cards and about half of the white ones so far, so that should be over and done with by the 20th. 
I've also outlined the first 20 episodes of Unfair-Y Tales, so once A Dramatic Reading of a Yearbook Signing debuts, expect more videos than you can shake a stick at! 
ALSO ALSO ALSO, on the topic of Phase 2, I just found out that I'm getting an HDTV from GrimJak, and that means that I may be moving up to an HD capture card waaaay ahead of schedule, so that's great news for all of you that enjoy my console content!
