sneaky eBay, sneaky

Hey there guys and gals! I'm gonna make a really quick post today just about some eBay stuffs that I discovered. This is regarding store subscriptions and all that jazz, so if you're just a random-item buying feller on the eBays, this may not apply to you.
Anyway, I discovered today that eBay gives you your free listings per month on the 1st of the month. BUT! The billing cycle for subscriptions functions (at least for me), starts in the MIDDLE of the month (Like the 15th). This way, nobody ever starts or cancels a subscription on time and eBay can make out with even more of your money! Just be aware of your billing cycle should you want to snag a store subscription.
I feel like if I write this down it is also something that I will remember in the future as well!

Fancy pants technology!

Not sure if you've heard guys and gals, but I was the grateful recipient of a fancy-pants Samsung HMX-F90 Digital Camcorder the other day! I haven't had too much time to mess around with it, but this opens up a lot more creative outlets for me as a content creator for YouTube!
I've been using the same camera that was a hand-me-down from Tethrinblaze for quite a number of years, and it was about time I upgraded, don't you think? Now I've got HD quality video in a small package that I can easily take on the go! The first video I'll have used it for will be coming out this Sunday (2/22/15), Unfair-Y Tales #4 - The Favorite Child, so we'll see how that turns out. It certainly captures higher resolution video than my Vita, so that's great too. This also means I won't be stuck with the sound of people signing on or off the PSN/me receiving messages randomly throughout the video and confusing people. 

This camera will also make it easier for me to film things that I wouldn't be able to record normally! I should have a chance to record some games in NeoRageX that I've been trying to get a hold of for quite a while, as well as some older Genesis games (I've got the RF Modulator wire for the Genesis, not the now-standard SD RCA Cable type). You can expect some more old school fun in the vein of Mystic Defender. This also means I should be able to get the third episode of my Selected Genre Series that I intended on doing so many months ago but couldn't, up at some point as well! 
It'll be a while though, as I've pretty much got uploads scheduled up until the end of March already, so sorry if you've put in a request recently and it seems like I'm just ignoring you... I swear that's not actually the case, I've just got some nicely sized things planned for the near future, that's all!

Stuff & Thangs

I was on such a good streak at the end of last month, wasn't I? I was posting so often! Well, all good things in moderation and all that, right?
I wanted to make a quick post today to tell you guys what I'm up to! I used to add in my signature on the old Okamigakure forums what I was up to, but since they're dead, blog posts might be the next best thing! 
I'm trying to complete the Victory/Defeat animations videos for SMITE series at the moment, so I've been grabbing as much footage as I could of the mages. I've already done the victory/defeats for all four of the other classes however (Which you can view right here). I was thinking of doing something a little different after that, and making victory/defeats for every 10 new Gods that came out after I made the videos for their classes, but we'll see about that! My buddy Tethrinblaze is going to start a SMITE series up in the near future that you guys and gals might be interested in too, so don't forget to check out his channel if you haven't already!
Remember me posting a while back about our play of Superpowerful Bonanza? Unfortunately there are even more problems with the video at this point... GrimJak's phone corrupted the video of the top-down view we had so we lost that too. It's gonna be a really long video from (mostly) just a terrible angle, but I mean, it'll still give you an idea of how the game plays! I'll be editing the footage we have of that in the near future, so you should be able to see it soon! 
Now that the DMTV movelist is complete, I think I'll be moving onto another tutorial/showcase series, but you guys will have to wait and find out what that is.
I think you'll enjoy in either case. Before I forget, thanks for everything guys and gals out there! I've been getting a steady stream of new subscribers on the YouTubs, and I really am grateful for that!

eBay Store and other news

Even though I'm a fullscreen partner and I've got access to spreadshirt, I fear I'm just not artistically inclined enough to actually do much of anything with it. Should you happen to be interested however, here's a link to the store I've got. On the other hand, I've been trying to raise money through eBay on the side and I've finally gotten my own store subscription! PREPARE FOR TROUBLE, AND MAKE IT... I dunno, full of geeky goodness?
Without further ado, I introduce you guys to:

I've got games and skylanders and posters and a myriad of other wares for your perusal!
In other news...  I'm learning how to use my Elgato HD60, so you guys are in for an HD treat in the near future!  In addition to that, I've been working on the next Unfair-Y Tales and I think I can officially say that I'll be uploading them every other week. They'll be on the same schedule as my Twitch highlight uploads, if that helps you out at all with timing! I'm still waiting on Grim's video of SPB night, but I think I'll start editing the footage I have already into one coherent video as soon as I'm done working on Unfair-Y Tales #3. 
I've been on a really productive roll lately and I'm excited to be chugging along at a regular pace, something that's actually really uncommon for me!
