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.
