Finally got back around to System Shock 2. ****'s ramping up.

New playthrough. Deus Ex. If you don't know it, then you're a bitch.

Don't edit and drive, kids.

Either fortunately or unfortunately for me, I do a lot of work while drunk. Loud workers made it hard to do anything today, but I recorded so many videos on Saturday while plaster-... uh... drun- uh... completely ****ed up, that I have a bit of a cushion. So I finally did the next segment of Beneath a Steel Sky.

All the loud construction work around my house makes it hard to record videos, but luckily I tend to record several videos a day when I'm drunk, so I have a little backlog I can fall back on for the moment.

Me like record while beer.

Completely forget to post this. Probably been sitting around on my channel for a week.

I haven't been all that enthused about the videos I've been doing recently. I liked some of the earlier videos where I was playing old games that were hard and that ****ed with me, but without a PC controller those games aren't as fun as they should be, and so I'm gonna wait to do any more of those until I get one. A lot of the other games I was doing just didn't feel like they lended themselves to ME, if that makes sense.

So I'm considering doing something on stuff I can really put some of my expertise into: metal. Thinking about what I could bring to the table, and obviously thrash metal would be right up my alley, but I'm really digging the idea of a history of 1st Wave Black Metal.

Like, a "prologue" episode about the very beginnings, like the aesthetic and musical influences of Black Sabbath, Motorhead, etc. Then a first episode on Venom. And I'd move onto episodes about Bathory, Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, Mercyful Fate, the thrash bands that started out as black metal (like Slayer, Sepultura, Possessed, Sodom, Destruction, Kreator, etc), and stuff like that.

I'm curious as to who would care about that, and if so, what your ideas about what I should do and how the format should be. I have no definitive plans so far, so any thoughts would be up for consideration. Of course I might just be drunk and this whole idea could just fall by the wayside. I'm just thinking of stuff to experiment with to see how I want to do my channel, even if it means entirely changing the format.

I think it would be really awesome to see. You could always do it as a podcast of sorts, and just dig into the group and talk about their history, their releases, their importance to the genre etc.

It would be cool if you did some sort of recommended listening to accompany it too. For example, if you did an episode on the first wave of bm, you could do an essential 5 albums from the first wave, or if you did a Bathory episode, maybe do 10 Bathory songs for beginners or something along those lines.

I've been planning on this for about a month but have been lazy. So I'm gonna be playing the first Penumbra throughout the month of October. Penumbra is basically the game that the company who made Amnesia broke their teeth on, and is basically a dry run for Amnesia. I'm a complete and utter pussy for horror games, as in shoot me in the head I'm so scared of even contemplating this **** that you might as well stick a fork in me. I'll be playing tonight and putting up a video tomorrow hopefully, so stay tuned for me being a complete pussy.

And yeah it'd be a let's play and not a stream cause I'm not about to do a modern game on stream and have 3/4 of the stream be unwatchable cause of my ****ty connection.
