New YouTube Channel & Other Updates

Making Videos for Fun!

Hello again!  It's been a while since I posted last and before you ask, yes, I know I have a half a dozen other posts to finish.  My attention is so scattered I'm proud of myself just for finishing this one.  That said, I've got all kinds of news!

First off, I've finally started making YouTube videos.  I got my computer to cooperate and have posted around 6 videos where I play either Fractured Space, a space MOBA with big ships and lots of explosions, or Crypt of the NecroDancer, a fun and addictive Rhythm/Rogue-Like where you move to the beat to slay monsters and advance the simple but compelling story, rescuing people!  Check out one of my runs below, using the character of Bard who doesn't have to move to the music.

Seriously, what?  Not like there are monsters down h-

Secondly, yes, I'm still finishing the "Story in Parts."  That was largely derailed by January being hectic and then my 'taking a break' through most of February.  It has not been forgotten or stopped, simply delayed.  That said, many other delayed and pending pages are still being worked on.  Motivation and focus have been premiums and I spent them on YouTube most of this month because I wanted to incorporate video into my blog.  Now that the ground work for that has been laid, I will try to share my creative impulses between both mediums.

Thirdly, this weekend is NerdCon: Nerdfighteria!  I will be attending and plan to record as much as I can, take pictures, and post blogs day of from my hotel room.  Wish me luck!  If you happen to be going to please comment!  Would love to say hi!

Lastly, what I plan to do in the near future,  A Review of a recently opened Early Access (Alpha) game Conan Exiles will be coming soon.  Exiles is a survival game similar to Ark in a lot of ways (though I haven't played it) minus dinosaurs.  It's based on Robert E. Howard's many short stories about Conan, a barbarian adventurer he wrote about in the late 1920's and early '30s which have subsequently made into three movies (two of which star Arnold Schwarzenegger and the third Jason Momoa) and a few earlier video games.  More on that in the full review.  I'm also planning to review the LEGO Batman movie, and if I can, John Wick: Chapter 2.

Until all this stuff happens: Best Wishes and Don't Forget To Be Awesome!
