Back from the dead

Let's get the elephant out of the room first, I am so sorry I left this blog in the dust for almost a year. Truth be told the beginning of the year had very little interesting to talk about as I was only occupied with my job. I'm pretty sure that's common for anybody who has finished college (or community college in my case). There were several other issues I ran into that I would prefer not to bring up.

But let's get onto to the fun stuff!

The biggest one to bring up is that I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow! First time ever too. I'm meeting my best friend and her family there at the airport. I'll also post pictures and video I'm taking on my Instagram and there will be some pictures posted later on too.

Second is FusionFall Retro! I might have brought up the Cartoon Network game before, but the long awaited project created by a group of fans meant to capture what the original game is like is set to be released August 1st! Watch the trailer here:

Third is South Park: Fractured But Whole! After being delayed for many months it's officially scheduled to be released October 17th. I'm behind on my Stick of Truth gameplay, but I promise to get that done before I play Fractured But Whole. And yes, I'm doing a gameplay on FusionFall Retro too! Here is a trailer for that game:

Finally, there have been a lot of new shows I've been into lately, but the two I'll talk about are Rick And Morty and Star vs. The Forces of Evil. Their third seasons are both coming out this year, the former is July 30th and the latter is in November. I'm behind a few episodes of Rick And Morty, but I'll catch up on that while in Vegas (kind of fitting if you think about it).

And yes, I have seen Battle For Mewni. If you like Star vs. go see it as soon as you can!

I haven't been this excited for so many things coming out in a long time. I'd go as far as to say it's been years since I've experienced this hype.

Sorry if this is brief, just wanted to touch base again, and get a feel for blogging. I gotta get packing for my flight tomorrow.

Holiday, Celebrate!

Hello to any and all visitors of this blog! It's a few days late, but I have managed to finish this semester (didn't get a 3.0, but at least I passed my classes).

I will be getting a new cell phone in a few days, which will allow me to post videos on YouTube over fifteen minutes.

I'm posting a future update video on where I'll be traveling for a week, which will be in July (the vacation; the video will be out at the latest a week beforehand).

I have some stuff planned this Summer so I remain active:

- Practice drawing techniques, which include taking a look at this free animation program.
- Learn more about web coding (I really need to improve on this, so I can create an online portfolio)
- Read a book chapter every night. Some fanfiction will likely be included too.
- Work-out routine. I'm working towards a more defined abdominal core.
- Finish video/collab projects. Some might take longer because I still need an idea for characters, how to piece them together, etc.
- Continue working on my ideas for A Look Into My Life. I really want to get this series started.
- Get some other segments started such as an art gallery.
- Work on written reviews for South Park.

That should be it for now. Why am I trying to remain so active? So I can learn to manage my time better. I want to get a 4.0 next year, and time management is what I need to work on so it is possible.

Thanks for reading!

Just A Little Heads Up

Hello any and all visitors of this blog! I felt the need to create this post to let you know that both my gameplay for South Park: the Stick of Truth and my first episode of A Look Into My Life are going to be on hold for a while.

I apologize for this already happening, but there are several factors contributing to this.

The first reason comes from the fact that YouTube has put a limit on the length of my videos I can upload, and in order to fix this I need to give my phone number. The thing is that I don't have my own phone at the moment, and I'm currently waiting until the end of the school to purchase a new one mostly because I've need to spend a good chunk of my paycheck from work for a new laptop, and I currently want to save my earnings so I have enough for any reasons that are necessary in the future.

The second reason is that the school year is approaching to the end, which means plenty of crunch time and burnout, and I'm aiming for a 3.0 this semester (although, it might be slightly lower, meh). One of my classes is especially difficult and requires some extensive studying so I can pass it.

The Stick of Truth videos will likely be split into greater parts, so I can post them on YouTube, and the episode of A Look Into My Life will likely be uploaded to Dailymotion and Zippcast before YouTube until I get my own phone.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
