YouTube Dreamin' And SkullGirls Stuff

Before reading this post take a good look at the video above, if you haven't. Its not very long and its really great video. Its also the reason why I'm writing this mini-rant. Not about the guy doing it, Maximilian. He's really awesome. Really I'm rant more about myself because I've always wanted to something like his new series. That is to say, talk about older, newer, or forgotten/overlooked fighting games. Explain mechanics, where some of the design of iconic fighters come from, and things like that. With all of the fighting game related writing I do, it just seems like videos seemed to be the natural media progression to me. It wouldn't just be a channel where I just post videos where I would show me just wining fighting game after fighting game or combo videos...because that doesn’t' happen to me. I've had this idea in my head of doing a YouTube channel like that for years, but I just haven't followed through, partially due to my own lack of confidence. I mean I know a lot about fighting games but that doesn't warrant me an expert. Then there's the fact that I have horrible voice. I sound so much younger than I am. But even still, I would love to try do that some day. I guess that's why I'm partially writing this, as a way to get this desire out of my head and motivate me to get off my ass and do. Or maybe I'm just against-y and need to go to a Hot Topic and buy a witty T-Shirt to express my against. I don't know. I have started a You Tube Channel and I'm learning how to capture using Open Broadcaster Software. Whether this turns into anything significant, I don't know...

Moving on to something less self-loathing-y, SkullGirls Encore! Yeah this week been a pretty great week if you like the game. Big Band was released (and is free for the next three months). Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions were patched to the current build on the PC, excluding the Beta. Big Band and Squiggly are Free on the 360 version. Fukua, who while I still stand with what I said about her previously, is a blast and is coming to PS3 soon. For the 360...well, you have been pretty patient right? And if you don't have the game, in May its will be free to all PS+ members. So yeah, please play it. Big Band is awesome and the game is only getting better.

Well, that's all I have now. I hope you all are well.

My voice used to sound much older despite my cherub face, now at 24 I have both a baby face and a too-young voice. I feel your pain.

Its tough when I play online and everyone asks who's that kid, to only be refering to me. Ugh

I'd like to have a YouTube channel and videos, too. But I lack the time, knowhow, and resources to do it.

It doesn't look very hard to set up one but just time consuming. I think that will be the hardest part about it.

you should do it man. and don't worry about your voice, we're all self conscious about that, it's what you're saying that matters, really.

you know me... I'm always doing projects that may or may not come to anything, but I love doing them. I really believe in putting yourself out there and making stuff, because even if it doesn't come to anything, it's still fun.

That's true and its been on my mind for awhile. I think I'm still going to follow through if only to just let that idea out.

Good thing I grabbed Big Band on time and while I was at it, I bought Squiggly because she was on sale on Steam. Once I get a 360 controler, i'm so going to enjoy Skullgirls once more.

Hopefully soon you'll get into it. Fukua should be out pretty soon and she's a great character.

I think we both need to keep encouraging ourselves, I too have been wanting to do a lets play channel/YouTube channel. He'll I'd love to do a twitch stream along side many of our pixlbit family. I think it would be fun for those who want to participate in it. I know it would be hard though since we all are all over the world. We shouldn't give up though, if we put forth the work and effort, we can.

I've wanted to do streaming myself but I'm not always a very talkative person, so I didn't want it to get borning. That streaming idea with Pixlbit, although, is a really awesome idea. I've thought about that especially consideirng that Nintendo's Wifi connection will be shutting down soon. Maybe a bunch of us could just play together in something like Mario Kart Wii/DS or Smash Bros Brawl one time before it wifi play closes. Even if we don't stream it/record it, it would still be a nice thing to do before that option is gone forever.

Skullgirls looks like a really fun game, hope to play it eventually.

If you have PSN, it should be free sometime this month. The game also frequently goes on sale on Steam and once was free to play for a weekend on Steam too. So that might happen again as well.
