[Peasant from Warcraft 2 says: Hello. What is it?] Hello. Viddy of ViddyOGamesForFun here bringing you up to
date this new season. Normally, I do an update video around the
end of August or the beginning of September. The main reason I’m doing one
that the beginning of the 4th year of this channel has been…
somewhat…quiet or lacking in activity. Before I talk about that,
I want to thank you all again for the comments and support for the 3-year
celebration of this channel. I did already say thank you on
the recent podcast video, and I want to do so again, thank you. And
now for the update! The latter two parts of the
Final Fantasy 7 review are still being worked on.
They were going to be released sooner, but for reasons that I’ll get into later…
that didn’t happen. Not to worry, the project will be finished before the end
of September. The podcasts have also been on hold, for
similar reasons. However, this weekend, I have got a bit of an interesting one
planned. For those of you who don’t know, previously I had done vlogs on going to
PAX Australia. The ‘Daleks’ have obviously prevented that
from happening, so now [to the best of my knowledge] it
is now being streamed, and on Twitch I think too. Because of
that, as well as the recent showcases by Nintendo,
I want to do a podcast pretty much about the one topic:
Online gaming conventions and events, including PAX, E3, Directs and so on –
plus I’ll try to talk about what I think of the games we got news for recently.
At the same time, getting other people to talk with me on the podcast is still
something I’m preparing. It’ll likely be done via the voice chat on Discord –
which there is a link for in the description. You can use that,
as well as the YouTube comments or my social medias to suggest podcast topics
after the one I’m recording this weekend about the online events.
Also, those of you who have followed this channel for some time do know that
October is an…interesting month for this channel.
Preparations are underway, and that’s all I’ll say about that. I have
also finally started to work on videos about the games in my collection, that
will be up in November. So…why have things been a bit quiet
lately? Well, basically, not being feeling that
great because of what’s going on in the world,
to be honest. But at the time of this video, I’m hopefully getting the get-go
to make more gaming videos. The other thing is, I was also busy
working on something else: a web-series pitch.
I pitched a series…and it unfortunately didn’t get selected or ‘greenlit’.
This has caused me to rethink my approach to the series, and at the same
time it means work on the series can slow down somewhat after working on the
pitch. The web-series won’t be on this channel,
but if there’s any definite information about it,
I will share that on this channel. I also want to share something a bit different,
about what has made me feel better lately. Sometimes it has been
good to do other things almost for the sake of variety, such as
play piano or even try new food recipes. Also, what was really nice
recently was actually getting to play Animal
Crossing recently with someone from the UK
[hate the time zone problem, though]. We exchanged Dodo codes over Instagram, as
well as used the site’s Message application [because typing in the game is…too
cumbersome] to talk to each other, and it was a nice thing to do. I
encourage you all right now, if you haven’t already,
to try and do some online gaming with someone.
It’s not the same as playing in the same room, like with the multiplayer commentaries
on my Viddy Plays channel, but it’s something. It was great. Speaking of
Viddy Plays, I need to get back to Resident Evil 4 and
EarthBound – the latter of which I tried to resume playing,
but I got stuck. How did I get stuck? I’ve already completed the game two or
three times, hmm.
And that is the end of this video. Let me
know in the comments or my social medias or Discord
how you all are going. Hope you’re doing okay, and let’s try and do the best we
can in the last quarter of the year that is
the alternate reality of 2020 [it feels like that, doesn’t it?]. Have a
good day or night or whatever it is, and see you soon in the month of September, and beyond.
