A new day and I feel refreshed (again)

So it is nearly 13:00 and the Cell games are about to start in DBZ, pretty good timing to be honest that I made it hehe. I didn't go to bed a bit earlier but it was still 2am in the morning.

Now there has been a lot of focus in my vlogs this week about my anxiety and I would like to assure you all that I am on the right track and there is no real cause for concern. I am still powering through things and even though I have been a bit under the weather the past few days things will be just fine.

So anyway moving on from the "real stuff" hehe I am considering doing some live streams today and try to catch up on some lost momentum over the past few days. It is a shame I have had a bout like I have recently because as you know I have been trying to make the big push to 2,000 subscribers by the end of the month.

The main reason that I have found myself growing a lot quicker over the past couple of months is partly in thanks to the live streams that I do on YouTube. From what we have found out over the past month or so the statistics built up during the live stream such as average view time etc all get pumped into the actual video.  This is not suggesting that you guys do not help as all your support in comments and coming to the events really does mean something, even if not analytical.

So I am just considering doing a Guild Wars 2 stream, however really I should do more LOTRO, because if you consider it there are only four or so weeks until the expansion goes live. I just need to sit down and play the game super hard and I will make it. Maybe I can get some help from people on the server we will see. :) I am usually one of those people who will find it hard to accept help being a proud person but I guess some times you have to put them feelings to one side and get on with it.

Now just to catch you up on the recordings I have done so far..

Fallout: New Vegas

Right now I find that I am working through Freeside and have managed to help sort out some major problems in terms of addictions and food problems. There are enough videos available for around a week or so. Over the weekend I will look to build on this

Borderlands

Enough was enough with this LP as I neglected it, it had been hard to maintain this due to real life limiting time for each person to meet up to record etc (which is to no fault of anyone). So on monday evening, me Stevoid and Christine (a friend of Stevoid) got together to continue the LP. We managed to get around 8 episodes done before we decided that Christine needed some more levels under her belt. (Chris is half of our level and we should have not made her struggle hehe) To be continued..

Darksiders 2

I am not going to say too much apart from the fact the controls sucked and I lost patience with the game, so this will be on hold for the time being to get other projects up to speed. I do enjoy this game but with it being a bit of a pain in the butt I can happily put this on hold.

Other projects (such as The Walking Dead, Minecraft and DayZ)

The thing with these projects are, even though a lot of fun are something I will have to fit in at least in the short term. If you could see the list of the games that I need to cover (LOTRO on its own is a HUGE uptaking) you would be as shocked as I am. (I will talk about these projects in a future blog as the list is wow. 

Suffice it to say I will be looking to record and publish The Walking Dead Episodes 2 and 3 ASAP as these will only take around 2 hours to record. Also considering they will only be short LPs in their own mind I can get them out in quick succession giving me time before Episode 4 comes out sometime late October.

With minecraft I do have a stack of footage for a Tekkit series but right now it is on hold and needs rethinking. I really want to do the LP however I want to go through them and cut out a lot of trash to make the videos run well. Yeah the commentary we did was quirky but seeing me do the same mining over and over again can get old right? DayZ would be awesome to do but again I need to focus on the older projects but this is something that I would definitely look to get the ball rolling. Lets just see how things go though.

So to wrap things up

Today is just going to be a relaxing day before work tomorrow so lets see how things go. Thanks again for taking the time to read this and sorry for the long essay. :D

Have a great day all!

The start of the D-Blog

Howdy folks!

Well I am just sitting around at the moment and being lazy whilst watching Dragonball Z. Goku and Gohan have just came out of the hyperbolic time chamber just after the announcement of the Cell games.

Well I am not really sure what to say to start off these blogs, heh how can I say that when I can talk too much in my D-Logs.

Starting from today I will see how often I can put up blog posts. Firstly though what do you guys think, should I try to do it daily as I do my vlogs or more like a weekly thing? It is so easy just to point a camera at your face and talk for countless minutes but even though I can touch type really efficiently thanks to a mechanical keyboard coming up with stuff to talk about is just strangely tricky.

Then again look I just typed  a lot of random garbage and I am already into the flow of things. The only concern that I do have is covering the same things that you will see in the vlogs too. However I guess some times people do not really have the time to sit down and watch a 5-20 minute vlog all of the time. So I guess it is a good idea to give people the chance to see what I have done on a regular basis.

Needless to say the day has not been too bad to be really honest. I have managed to upload a Darksiders 2 video and a Fallout: New Vegas is in the process of going up on the tubes. Perfect in my mind, considering I head to work in around four and a quarter hours from writing this post. I did consider doing a random live stream, however like last night I really did not feel 100% and did not want to be "half soaked" when casting. Watching some ill dude playing a video game and talking/sneezing and dozing off all at the same time... is not really a lot of fun in my opinion.

I hope you guys will enjoy these blogs and feel free to leave comments, I would love to see if this can be an ongoing concern. I really do feel that sitting down and writing these are going to help me. The one thing that I learned back in 2009 is to express myself and it really does help to do so as you do not hold things in. Writing this out already makes me feel better somehow, I guess because I am letting my mind flow into a wall of text.

Anyway that is enough for now I would guess, and I look forward to sitting down to do these more often. Maybe it will help me become more productive and less lazy when it comes to it. Thanks for checking my first post out and see you all in the D-Log. Hopefully when I get home from work I feel up to doing a LOTRO live stream.

Many thanks,

Dulayne!
