Hey there everyone! Kallias here! My #1 hobby of all time is making YouTube videos, specifically Let’s Plays (although, that being said, I am slowly moving away from YouTube because good LORD it is getting bad over there).
I always wish that there was something more I could do for my videos, whether that’s make them feel more like TV show episodes or just have more flair in general.
One Let’s Play in particular I always look back on fondly, wishing I could do more stuff like that, is my Let’s Play on Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS.
Also a quick disclaimer: I have a bit of a sailor’s mouth! If you don’t like profanity, then you can just not watch the videos. Viewing the videos is NOT necessary to enjoying the whole post.
This Let’s Play featured a TON of inserted clips from recording the race replay you can watch after finishing that race (you sadly can’t view them from the main menu, at least I couldn’t figure it out).
The only other times I got an opportunity to do this kind of thing was for the duration of my series on Tom Clancy’s End War for the PS3…
…and for the first few episodes of Halo: Reach. I say the first few episodes because an update came out that broke the Forge Theater mode and it wouldn’t get fixed until well after the series concluded.
I’m currently cooking up some stuff on the metaphorical stove for some future series, but my life has gotten pretty hectic, so I need some more time to get enough stuff made before release, and that includes stuff like trailers, intro sequences, eye-catches, and faux midroll ads*.
*This is still a tentative idea. I might do a test run for a couple of videos and gauge how people react to it. I might scrap it before release. Who knows!
Also, it’s current Festival Season for me, wherein I table at a few different zine fests through Central and South East Texas, so that’s also been eating up a lot of my time on top of having a part time job and graduate program stuff!
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read!
