Once more, it's time for me to put my ugly mug in front of the camera and deliver a diatribe whether you want it or not. In this video, I talk a little bit about my recent move, make an observation about not being very observant and bitch about something that I'm probably blowing completely out of proportion but can't resist. Also, there's a special little surprise at the end.
Hey, look at that! It's another video blog! I haven't done one since before E3 so, despite being absurdly busy, I decided that you guys deserved it. By which I mean you've all been very naughty and need to be tormented with more of my incessant rambling.
Also, I've attempted to stretch my legs a little bit in editing this one. I'm a total amateur but I don't think it's all that bad for a first attempt.
I would like to note that, in the process of editing this video, I have probably overcome my fear. In fact, I'm more than a little embarassed by it, but, goddamn it, I was five years old and that should probably afford me a little slack. It's way scarier in my head.
I can't say exactly why it popped into my head when I was trying to decide how to title this video blog, but calling it The Zapper made my brain leap to The Shocker. If there were a sexual maneuver called "The Zapper," what do you suppose that would be?
Anyway, enjoy some semi-coherent ramblings from yours truly as I touch on a couple of viewer questions, talk about the classic NES light gun and go a little bit into what I want from E3.
As always, your comments, questions and feedback are appreciated. Links to some of the things I mention are below.
It's time for another video blog. Tonight I spend a few minutes talking about my feelings on the cancellation of Duke Nukem Forever and a give some words about Playboy Magazine. No links this week, as I'm sure you're more than capable of finding the Duke Nukem art stuff that's been making the rounds on the front page. That, and I'm tired and can't be arsed.
As always, your comments, thoughts and feedback are appreciated. Also, I may start answering viewer questions in these, so feel free to toss some of those at me as well.
As I state in the video, this is another test run of sorts as I try to get my audio issues worked out. So, if you're still having problems hearing me or have any other sort of audio problem with it, please let me know so I can continue to tweak a bit. Actually, if you have any problem with it at all or further suggestions, please let me know.
Hey, look at that. It's a video blog. I'm aiming to be more pretentious and egomaniacal every day! Below are links to various things I'm talking about.
Do you want more of this? What would you like to see if I did do more of them? Is it just me, or is my left eyebrow totally screwed up? Answers to all of these questions and more can be found in the comments if someone else bothers to put them there.
I write for Destructoid, primarily reviews and recurring columns. I'm probably best known for RetRose Tinted, a series which I began in the Community Blogs and ran for six months before joining the site staff and taking it to the front page. I also contribute to An RPG Draws Near and the recently minted Sexy Time! column as well as serve up a weekly collection of the best deals on games (and completely gratuitous photos of women) in Discountoid.
I'm fond of all types of gaming, either on a screen or a tabletop. In terms of video games, my interests vary wildly from platformers (2D preferred) to RPGs and the occasional FPS. The greatest game of all time is Mega Man 2 and any suggestion otherwise will be met with swift vengeance.
The mere inclusion of Rodney Dangerfield can vastly improve anything. Films, music, toasters, anything. In particular, the force of Rodney Dangerfield could elevate video games to the level in which they are accepted by the mainstream as a true art form, bringing together people of all races, creeds and tax brackets in peace and harmony.
Destructoid is an independently-run publication forged by our love of video games and the gaming community's need of accountable enthusiast press living the dream since March 16, 2006
