In
this entry, I'll be discussing the four videos that were uploaded
between July 27 – July 29: Pokémon
Go Ramblings,
Trans-Canada
Trail: North/Central Strip,
Forest
Brook Community Church
and Creepy
Flappy Bird.
It feels so sad and weird to not have Asphalt 8 included in this
entry, but I just wasn't able to get it edited and uploaded in time
for this, so I'll have to do without it for this round. ):
Well,
the title is very self-explanatory: all I do is just browse and talk
about the game, while going through some images and commenting on
some news. I had no interest to play this game at all, and still
don't, but because the game was constantly making headlines all over
the internet, and even made it's way to Canadian shores, I kind of
felt like I had to do a video on it and toss my opinions in. Of
course, the video doesn't involve me playing it, so I made damn sure
that I put the word “ramblings” in the title in order not to
mislead people! My channel does revolve around filming the outdoors
and mobile games, so this game in theory would have been a great
recipe for this channel, but nope! As I mentioned in the video, I
find the game to be rather lame, dangerous and just not something I'm
up for. I'd rather just explore places normally without hunting for
Pokémon! You can't even hunt them for real, and will never be able
to, but this is as close as it gets, so I guess that does explain the
hype. Or is it as close as it gets? Could game designers and
engineers actually come up with a simulator that's even closer than
this? Who knows. Only time will tell. Here's a fun fact: according to
a Gizmodo article that was published today (August 1, 2016 at the
time of this writing) Pokémon Go on Wikipedia has more endnotes than
the Bible – Wow! 113 vs 191. Why couldn't it be the other way
around?! Oh well. Tuberculosis, masturbation, space invaders and the
standalone word Pokémon, were other titles that also had a lot of
end notes, but not as much Pokémon Go! I'm not sure how long the
hype will last for this game, but some predict that it's a fad that
will die “soon”. How soon? Who knows. Maybe Niantic might just do
something insane just to keep it afloat.
Ah,
part #2 of the Ajacian Trans-Canada trail adventures! The
continuation of this trail is located north of the southern portion
on Highway #2. I've mentioned this in the video description, but
apparently this is not final portion of the trail, nor is it the
furthest north, hence why I had to change the name to north-central
to make it more accurate. So where is this “far north” strip that
I speak of? I'll tell ya later this week or early next week, though
I'm sure that some Ajacians will probably already know. Part #3 has
been filmed last weekend, but needs to be edited and uploaded.
Anyways! That's enough about part #3. The northcentral strip as you
can observe from the length of the video, was much longer than the
southern portion, and was full of gravel and buzzing bugs on certain
portions, so carrying lots of water and bug spray is a good idea! A
must actually. I also had to be careful about not being lead out of
the trail system, so I reviewed the map a few times before filming to
make sure that I didn't end up accidentally exiting. It worked for
the most part, but you can see me having doubts sometimes, because
the place is just so expansive! The trail itself is very easy to trek
and doesn't have any crazy slopes, rocky edges or anything like that.
It also isn't “dazzling” per se, but does have a few plaques that
I filmed up close, and a lot of bridges. I wasn't expecting so many
crossings, but I appreciate it because swimming or hopping over
Duffin Creek isn't something I wanted to do! Not even on a hot day
like the way it was! I successfully completed the trail, made it to
the end of the road, and saw what looked like a continuation at
Riverside Drive, so I crossed and continued... and then I had
doubts... I didn't know if it was a property I might have ventured
onto or something else, but I decided to stop filming there. Now that
I have looked it up, it may have been something in regards to the
Riverside Golf Club. I had no idea at that time, so I continued south
of the road, which lead me to another place that I thought I wouldn't
end up filming: Forest
Brook Community Church!
When
I saw this I place I stopped and asked myself: “Am I going to keep
going, or am I going to film this place?” The video's presence on
YouTube is the clear answer. Despite the grueling hot weather and
reduced water levels in my container, I went for it! I was expecting
it to just be a typical exterior walk around, until suddenly I found
some stairs! Being the curious explorer I am, I descended the stairs
and found an alien on the wall!!! *GASP!* Who would've thought?!
Aliens coming together with humans to worship God?! Wow! It's too bad
I couldn't get inside to see the congregation of aliens and humans,
but alas! It was quite the encounter! I went back upstairs, finished
the exploration, and then finally call it quits when I ended up at
the beautiful front end of the church.
See?
I told you I was going to play more spin-offs of this game! This time
though, a very, very, very,
creepy spin-off of Flappy Bird! It's so creepy that a warning is
given in the description not to proceed, unless you really think you
can handle it! Are you a momma cuddling wuss, or a screamy, flighty
chick? Then don't watch it! Alas, I can expect many to click and
perilously risk their lives anyway! You'll be riding on the back of
clumsy, cryptic bird flying haphazardly through some frightening
gates, through an equally frightening yard, with a continuous
contrabass overtone howling, objects creaking and heavy footsteps
dropping! Let me warn you once again: watch out. Ok? Just watch out.
I unfortunately can't tell you what's going to to happen, but you
were the one the decided to enter that dangerous zone at your own
risk, so I cannot tell you everything......... You'll just have to
see some things for yourself, but try to come back alive so I can
hear your story.
Fun
fact: I produced the soundtrack through experimentation, and decided
to accompany it with a creepy video that lead to the creation of this
video.
Ha
haaaaaaaaa! I just had to find a way to squeeze Asphalt 8 into this!
So, what's up for Asphalt 8 this week? A video with several tracks to
showcase a special (in my opinion) thing! The clips have been
recorded, but only need to be edited and uploaded, which I'm hoping
to get done sometime this week. Here's a peek below.
This
video belongs to CATMANTOO.
I normally wouldn't really comment on a cat video, simply because
there's way too many of them on YouTube, to the point that's honestly
overkill, but this one appeared in the Hotmail news this week, so I
checked it out. It's a skateboarding cat! A highly entertaining,
hilarious video, but I kept wondering to myself: how much camera
trick and editing did this involve? Is it fake? This is so fake! But
when I reached the end, it mentioned that it took many months of
training, so I guess this means that it's not fake? Who knows. One
thing's certain is that it's adorable, hilarious and entertaining,
regardless of whether it's actually fake or not.
And
that wraps up this entry. I got a couple videos to edit and upload,
and if you read the rambling above, you'll know exactly what's
coming: Trans-Canada Trail #3, an Asphalt 8 video, ####### and
possibly ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥!
