It is the 17th
of the November. What's special about this day? I don't know. Maybe
it's your
birthday, wedding, party
day or something?
Anyways! It's time to talk about the following recent uploads: Oshawa
Central Collegiate Institute [Exterior Walkaround],
Asphalt
8: Farting On Donald Trump
and Amazon
Unboxing: Seagate Portable Storage & Blue Snowball Microphone.
Let's
get to it!
So
when I went to Oshawa, I decided that this place would be the subject
for my video there.
The sun was setting, as you can tell from the video, so I had to be a
little quick in order to prevent the quality from faltering from
the lack of light. Aside from shakiness (and
excessive sniffles in the beginning)
I'm satisfied with how the video turned out, and the fact that I was
able to film for a
little over 10
minutes. The
presence of a trail, a creek, train tracks in the distant, abandoned
looking gardens, and its many curves and corners makes
this place interesting to walk around. At the same time, some of
these attributes also made it feel a little eerie, and the fact that
it was getting dark, helped to push that feeling even further. Still,
Oshawa Central Collegiate Institute was an interesting place to film.
The timing was also different from the usual glaring daylight
shootouts. Maybe you'll like that, maybe you won't.
Laugh
out loud! This title is indeed trolling at its finest! But
why, you might wondering. Who, what, when, where, how and why was I
inspired to make such a ridiculously, goofy, daring video with such a
title? Well, y'all probably know that I'm not that fond of Donald
Trump, if you've seen a few of my tweets and one of my recent
entries, but you know what? He's the official president of the United
of America, and he's going to be in that position until 2020-2024.
Worse, there's nothing you can do about it, so you'll just have to
pray for the best, move out (one of the more extreme options) or just
poke some fun at him. Interestingly, I do not even live in the United
States, but unfortunately(?) their economy is heavily tied to ours,
so if he damages the economy too badly, then Canada and Mexico will
feel some (or a lot!) of the pain. But anyway! There's been so much
hilarious jokes, memes and running gags about this guy, and I was
itching to join in on the fun, so I mixed the idea of mistreating
Donald Trump with Asphalt 8, and boom: Asphalt 8: Farting On Donald
Trump was born. Because this was such an American situation, I went
with an American theme and raced with
the Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Dodge
Viper and Ford Mustang. Would've loved to include the Ford GT, but
it's too bad the grossly outdated BlackBerry 10 version of the game
doesn't have it. Oh well. With the exception of the Mustang race,
which I mentioned did take several attempts, racing and recording was
the easy part, but finding high quality relieved sighs and fart audio
clips took a little
work. And then there was audio syncing; my favourite thing – NOT!
Despite
my great
detest for it, the audio synced up well, though next time I could
probably work on not leaving so many awkward pauses in my narration!
Ah, creating this video was so satisfying! It had me laughing
frequently throughout the creation of it! I
don't think Donald Trump will ever see it?
Yes,
this is my 1st
unboxing video on the channel, so my
camera setup and angle may not have been the best, but I think it
turned out alright. At
last!
There's a reason why those words are the 1st
thing you see in the video's description: it's because a microphone
has been long overdue! Seriously, look at all those cringey gaming
videos I
made in the past! Actually, for that very
reason, don't look. Spare your ears the misery of the atrocious audio
quality in many of them, and take my word for it. The audio in many
of my gaming and some of my commentaries has been utterly
disgraceful!
The
only way I could change that is if I were to invest in a good
microphone, so I
did. Hello, Blue
Snowball. I also wanted
needed a USB device with enough storage so I could safely back up all
of my files onto
one device,
unlike in
the past where I'd often have to back things up onto several USB
sticks. No more. I'll now hopefully be able to save a copy of my all
things in one location. Now obviously I do not plan to keep all of my
eggs in one basket, as that would be stupid, but it's great to know
that I finally have something that can hold
nearly two terabytes worth of space. A huge
step up from my 32GB Sony USB stick!
As you can tell from the writing and the video, I
still have yet to actually try these devices,
so I can't tell you how well they perform, but I'll get on that soon.
With Amazon doing a so called “Early” Black Friday sales period,
I was able to buy the Seagate Portable Drive for $109.00 CAD + Free
shipping and the Blue Snowball for $69.00 CAD + Free Shipping.
Unfortunately, the HST costs drove the total cost of these two to
$204 CAD! Lovely. Still, these two particularly have thousands of
good reviews, and I'm excited to have them, so I hope they won't
disappoint!
The
Lost Video........
Did
you know? That there was supposed to be four videos uploaded today?
Actually, make
that five.
And did you also know, that those videos were supposed to be filmed
before all those other ones?
Well, now you know. Technically speaking, the 1st
video that was originally supposed to be filmed, wasn't “lost”
hence why the subheading
reads
“The Lost Video” as opposed to “The Lost Videos”. So, what
happened? The 1st
video, the one that wasn't lost, took place at a time that wasn't
deemed appropriate enough to film, so I didn't even roll the camera
out. The 2nd
video... oh, the 2nd.
Well,
the phone unfortunately wouldn't stop restarting itself every time I
tried to fire up the camera. Extremely
frustrating!
Worse, the few minutes of video that I did manage to capture went to
waste, because the freakin' file wouldn't even
open! Wow! Absolutely unacceptable! Battery swaps did not fix the
problem, so that day I just felt like not bothering with filming, but
I continued
anyway.
I went to a different location. By then, the phone decided not to
randomly reboot itself. While I was aware of my
device
rebooting irritatingly out of the blue, I have never had such
alarmingly bad luck with this thing while
filming outdoors.
Never. There was one other time where it did shut off, but it was
also -7°C making that somewhat predictable. Even then, it lasted a
good while before that happened. The
day when
I was filming the lost video was
+7°C, so there's no reason for it to just throw such a violent,
excessive, temper tantrum! None! Part of me is telling me to go back
and attempt to film that place again, but then another part of me is
very scared about me going back up there, only to suffer the same
ominous dilemma. I've
tried to look into the problem, but don't know if it'll do it again,
so I'll just have to be extra cautious and perform different steps.
Definitely need to get a new camera/smartphone soon, because I'm
getting tired of this ancient junk's erratic foolishness. Sick of it!
