6.2 Audio Version

So apparently they're catching on or I was unlucky this time. A few hours after uploading, 6.2 was blocked. Well they can't block this can they?

I might try again with a video because that had some unforeseen tech problems, but don't be surprised if it gets blocked again.

Happy Halloween...Also 14

 A bit late for a Halloween release, but fuck it. Its still Halloween somewhere, so it counts okay?

Most of what has delayed this has been a combination of real life issues and editing difficulties. This will actually be the last time the series will have F.E.A.R. footage this low in graphical quality I'm happy to say. So once again, look forward to it.

I Know, I Know

This is much longer than I originally intended after 13 was released. But a lot has happened, mostly personal stuff. So this time I won't be explaining it. But it has been pretty damn serious.

14 is not dead I assure you, its the last bits and pieces that are preventing a finished product. The whole anime thing is fine, whatever, that was never really in question anyway.

I have recently gotten back into Minecraft sorta, a bit before the new update was released today actually. So I had to get used to things again. A lot of other games I've played recently, and that I really can't recommend enough are: Bastion, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Warhammer 40k: Spacemarine, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon and to a lesser extent Dead Island. Mostly because its a bit too niche to be liked by everyone.

The big releases coming up aren't looking nearly as fun though. With the exception of Mass Effect 3 Battlefield 3 and Diablo 3 (which I am totally using this build when I get it). We're getting every game I really really don't care about in the slightest. Gears of War, Modern Warfare, Assassin's Creed, Rage. Resistance 3 came out not too long ago, I can't think of anyone I know who actually gives a shit.
Just a bit of a rant I guess.

I'll have something entertaining up soon, I promise.

5.1 the Audio Version

I think I've got a formula down to ensure commentary syncs with the episodes. But hey, I'll probably improve at some point. Intro and disclaimer is a bit awkward, sure felt that way at least.

Here it is.

I still feel awkward about just leaving it up by itself. Doesn't feel right without packaging the video too, but that would just make it more..."lawyer-ey" is a good way of putting it. So you'll all have to find the episodes on your own, not exactly hard these days.

Future anime crap

Its been brought to my attention that Funimation recently blocked Hour and a Half Later 1.4 for viewing in the United States. Being in Canada I had no idea or noticed a difference myself, so I appreciate the heads up.

This brings me to what I'm probably going to do from now on. I'll still have the episodes made with the cuts and everything for youtube consumption. But at the same time I will also have the MP3 file available for download off...I dunno. Megaupload maybe.
This way people can still get the full un-edited commentary a few people have asked for. While at the same time there will be a ready made backup, just in case this happens again.

Of course this also means that anyone relying on this will have to manually sync the commentary to the episodes I (and possibly others) watch. And like the series' name implies I usually watch 3 episodes at a time. There'll be some sort of timer, i'll figure something out when I get to it. As for the video of the episodes themselves? Hey, if a guy like me can find Anime this easily it should be a snap for you guys.

I'll post any download links on the blog here.

(I should mention that I did not save the raw audio files until now. The only thing I saved was the video which won't do you any good if it gets blocked again.)

10,000!?

This number might be a bit off what with youtube's view count being on the fritz this month. But my first episode has actually reached 10,000 views now. Amazing, though it has been a year so that probably has a lot to do with it, as always baby steps.

Still though thats a pretty awesome number to think about.

Episode 14 is still waiting on Robin to get well enough to do it. So you'll all have to be patient once again. Watching this anime stuff works well as filler, but like you guys I'd rather get back to the main attraction soon.

14 and Future Goodies

Yeah I've uploaded more of this anime stuff instead of episode 14. There's only one part of the process to complete now, the dialogue.

Couple things preventing me from doing that right this minute however. The first is that I'm building a BRAND NEW COMPUTER! Thats right, a brand new computer with much better graphical and processing power. Meaning that chapters from now on will be of much higher graphical quality. Editing time and power consumption should be drastically reduced from this as well. And best of all I can now play FEAR3 if I decide to continue on the monolith timeline. But this also means a have a bunch of computer parts and boxes where I would record dialogue normally.
Luckily though this will all be done this week so I can finally get to it.

The other thing from releasing however is Robin/Krimsin. He recently had the flu and is recovering from it now, and like my own run in with the flu it tore into his vocal chords. Won't be hearing from him for a bit and understandably so.

That is all right now, just remember that this anime thing is to fill time when I can't finish episodes. I'm not giving up on it.
