- I did want to type this out yesterday, but I chose to avoid
people thinking it was an April Fools' type situation. I think one item of news
I put out there was brushed off as such since I posted about it around April
1st.
- So I'm no longer part of Royal Flush Media. I sent an
email to the other top guys in the company letting them know that March 31st
was the last day since a few more TGF videos were still branded with the RFM
logo (too much work to replace the logo). I had been pondering my departure for
quite some time. I even thought if I should just solely take the company and
just be the one running it, which I kind of was. But the lack of support from
family and friends in terms of promoting me and saying anything about my work
showed no one really cared. I even ran an experiment for a little less than a
month where I stopped posting videos and photos regularly under the RFM
accounts and no one said anything or they didn't notice at all. Those reasons
and a plethora more lead me to just leaving altogether. And in doing so the
other top guy decided to leave. That leaves one and I don't even know if he
read the email and knows what is going on. So whether he keeps it alive or
kills it off is now all on him. Right now it's just stagnant and exists. Not my
problem anymore.
4-5 years of RFM lead to almost nothing for me and
personally cost me a lot of money that I never made back. I am so glad that I
don't have this holding me back and causing me unnecessary stress. Thank you to
those that did support me in some fashion.
- I am now fully committed to The Game Fanatics. We're still
on break from the podcast, but we're still active as a community. All episodes
of The Game Fanatics Show are on YouTube and I've got some shorter videos
scheduled to post throughout April as well as plans for future tech reviews.
And I keep saying that big things are to come. Seriously, stick with us, stick
with me on this. The Game Fanatics has been more beneficial to me in less than
a year more so than RFM ever was.
- Sonic Unleashed (Wii); 3 out of 5
Not as bad as people have made it
out to be, but definitely not the best 3D Sonic game. Being the Werehog wasn't
that bad, but it was a silly concept.
- BIT.TRIP Prestents...Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm
Alien (Wii U eShop); 5 out of 5
Such a solid and simple game with
the tightest of controls that anyone can play. Try the demo (multiple platforms)
if you're not sure, but I highly recommend it.
- Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS); 4 out of 5
(a portion of somewhat review) All
around great with excellent gameplay and creative bosses and puzzles. The game is full of charm just like the original on the
Gamecube. The environments are lively (for being haunted), all the ghosts are
full of life (despite being ghosts), E. Gadd
is witty, the Toads were adorable, and Luigi's personality shines throughout.
Definitely recommend it especially if you enjoyed Luigi's first first trip to a
mansion.
- All 10 episodes of WingedVoX Revolution are out. I am a
little surprised with the amount of views I receiving zero new subscriptions
after promoting it on Facebook and Twitter. Although some videos got way less
views, I am happy that the series got a decent amount of views. The 4th one got
the most views (46). The extras in the end sadly got the least love.
I did start a new Twitter photo series for April, What I'm
Watching. Follow my WingedVoX account to see them. https://twitter.com/WingedVoX
And a new series of WingedVoX Adventures has been completed
and those will start airing May 7th.
- I've been getting back to watching anime. Although most of
them are rewatches of favorites, it has been years since I saw them. They do
bring up some great memories.
It all started with wanting to rewatch The Maxx. I know it's
not really anime, but it was a short series I really enjoyed watching on MTV
when it first aired. I still enjoy it. The noire style of storytelling and the
animation style really stood out to me back then and I can see why. From there
I went on to rewatch Aeon Flux. Why I'm not more messed up because of that is
shocking, ha.
Then I started to hunt for older anime that I had watched and
picked up a few new ones I heard were good. I ended up watching some Street
Fighter anime movies I never knew were made. I can't recommend Street Fighter
Alpha: The Animation (2 out of 5) and Street Fighter Alpha: Generations (2 out
of 5). I highly recommend Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind (5 out of 5). I
put it up there with Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (which I will
rewatch on an off day). Oddly enough, the 3 movies I just watched all dealt
with Ryu and his Dark Hadou/Evil powers.
All throughout April I will be watch 3 anime series. First
I'll be rewatching all of the Ah! My Goddess OVA. Just hearing the opening and
ending theme brings back fond memories and just makes me smile. After those 5
episodes are done, I will move on and watch Highschool of The Dead. Then I will
watch all of Claymore. Never saw either of those series, but I hear good things
about them. I'll be watch one a day until I get to Claymore, which I will watch
2 a day so that way April is full of anime.
- Speaking of anime, Anime Matsuri happened. Many people do
not know this, but I was approached by them to put together a Kpop flash mob
and perform. I turned them down almost immediately. I talked to a really close
friend who used to be part of the Anime Matsuri team and was enlightened on a
few things. My friend's input really cemented it for me. Plus putting together
a flash mob is stressful and seeing as I got little to nothing from doing 3 in
the past, I wasn't really excited to do it. I do realize the opportunities I
missed out on. Waveya and Yaya Han were both at Anime Matsuri and I would have
actually asked them to be part of it if possible (and other guests if they were
able to). I am a fan of both Waveya and Yaya, but I also have an extreme
loyalty to my friend (who is also a big Yaya fan) and I could not accept.
- ...AND I MADE THIS VIDEO FOR VAMPY!
"that's so sweet ^_^"
Thank you for reading. Be healthy, be safe, be thankful, and
be loved.
Take care.
