I wanted to write a post about the quirks of the way the Japanese
language is presented in anime, but a written article just couldn't
convey what I wanted to share. So, I made a quick video instead. Enjoy!
Hey, everyone! It's been a while since I posted anything new here. As you know, I started a new blog on gaming almost two months ago, and since then I've been posting new stuff there twice a week. But I've been sorely neglecting my more general blog here.
So, this is actually related to my gaming blog, but it doesn't really belong over there and I thought my friends might find it amusing. It's sort of a "behind the scenes" post, if you will. When I was getting ready to launch Catalyst Games, I knew I had a lot of stuff I could write about gaming, but I was having a difficult time organizing my thoughts to write anything. I mentioned this to my sister and she suggested that I could try making an audio recording of me "talking out" my ideas, and then refer back to that while I'm writing. I tried this and it really helped! I didn't have a device that could make a strictly audio recording, so I ended up using my webcam to record myself. This had the unnecessary effect of making a video recording of my monolog as well. When I watched this later I was really amused by it - it's not too often that you get to watch yourself talk!
This might be a tad narcissistic, but it really had me cracking up when I watched it, so I'm posting the video here for you to enjoy. It is a tad lengthy (about 11 minutes). Also, the audio is a bit quiet, so you may have to turn up the volume on your computer. You can read the resulting article here.
Hey everyone, thanks for reading my blog and giving me feedback on the things that I post (as inane as some of them are). I really appreciate everyone's support!
Something new is on its way, and I'll be making an announcement about it tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about it, and I'll be looking forward to getting your participation in this new project.
Until then, have a nice evening!

Just for fun, I used my webcam to record myself singing a song. After playing it back... wow. That was so awful. I laughed so hard I cried. I will never sing in public again.
And before anyone asks, I've deleted the video so I won't be sharing it. I decided it was too dangerous to keep around.
