November 12th Entry: October 2019 Uploads

November 12th Entry: October 2019 Uploads

Guuzaka is not an official salesmen of these vendors. Therefore, any potential product problems and other technicalities must be dealt with through official staff of the online shop. 

Looks like I'm on a role with getting the separate blog posts for the September and October 2019 uploads done today! ๐Ÿฑ‍๐Ÿ What are you waiting for? Read, laugh, frown, watch, shop, and/or comment!



These are the following products I unboxed in this video:



So now that I have had a lot of time to use these extensively, I can tell you which one I like the most: the Sony On-Ear Headphones. Why? Because On-Ear Headphone feel so much better and more comfortable to work with than In-Ear Headphones. ๐ŸŽง In terms of audio quality, I have not noticed a major difference between these headphones. The Sony On-Ear Headphones obviously  beats the In-Ear Headphones, but not by a long margin. All of these headphones don't just "do the job"; they actually do it well. Are they studio-grade headphones? Of course not! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ But they are not low-quality dung either, despite their price tags. Longevity? So far, so good, but time will tell at some point into 2020 and beyond! ๐ŸŒ 


Wow. As I write this entry, there is snow on the ground and it is below 0°C. ๐Ÿฅถ Makes me miss summer so bad! ๐Ÿ˜ญ Oh well. Warm weather will return in 7 months. ๐Ÿ˜จ Um, hold on.... 7 months.... That's deep... that's long.... Oh, right! Canada is within the Arctic circle after all, so even the Southern regions take forever to get to 25°C+ weather. At least they can though, because there are parts of the country that cannot even see 12°C in July! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Ever heard of Ellesmere Island? You know, the Canadian north pole? ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿพ Yeah, that's who I'm talking about! 

Anyways! This was my first visit to this park. ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒž The footage from the Nokia Lumia 1520 turned out gorgeous as expected.  I liked it so much, that I went back another weekend to collect stones from the coastal area. ๐Ÿค“


The BlackBerry Passport version of this video focuses more on walking eastward along Rotary Park's coast. Because I did not bring long rubber boots that day, I did not go as far as I could. The BlackBerry Passport's camera does not win any photography rewards. However, there are some scenes of this video that turned out exceptionally good. ๐ŸŒžParticularly the part where I stooped down to showcase a stream flowing out into the Lake, while water was flowing over the rocks. ๐Ÿ˜ Wow, that was beautiful! And oddly enough, out of the three smartphones that I recorded with that day, as of November 12, 2019, the BlackBerry Passport's version has the most views. ๐Ÿคจ Clearly, there can only be two things to explain this:

1) The BlackBerry 10 community enjoys seeing videos produced from a phone that many consider "obsolete" 

2) Perhaps viewers prefer higher frame rates over resolution? ๐Ÿค” I personally prefer 4K, but to each their own.

Who knows for sure, but keep watching the videos! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ 


You see, this is why shooting in 4K is my default choice whenever a smartphone is capable of doing so: the sheer amount of details it captures is amazing! ๐Ÿ” And when you use something that already has a good camera like an iPhone, it makes the video even better. ๐ŸŽ So, um, I guess I should talk about those butterflies, right?๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ˜ง Honestly, I'm not sure if they're drowning, dying, or both. ๐Ÿ˜ถ While sad, it was an interesting site to see them right on the coastline. Why they would even hang out on the beach in the first place, is something I still cannot figure out. ❓ If there were plants and flowers right in the middle of the sand, then that would explain it. There was not, so ------ ¯\_(ใƒ„)_/¯


The following items were unboxed in this video:

Now I know exactly what you're thinking: ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฏ! Right? Well, here are the simplified names: 
  • Tofun Electronics Accessories Bag 
  • Locking Krendr D-Rings
  • Geekria EJB61
  • 90 Pieces of PandaHall Elite Clasps
Ahh, soooooo much easier on the eyes, eh? ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒŠ So! Out of all of these things, which one have I used the most? The Geekria EJB61. ๐ŸŽง Why? Because I like to use my headphone jack! You know, the thing that most smartphone makers insisted on getting rid of, so they can force consumers into that wireless dung? ๐Ÿคก Yeah, that useful little hole. With the combination of a Gimars carabiner, you can attach it to all sorts of things: your jeans, backpack, purse, satchel, and many more. Some of things, it's obviously better off going inside them, but at least you know the option to hold it outside exists. 



The sole product unboxed in this video is a small box that contains 10 Gimars carabiners. Not a ton more to say about that, other than I use these more than I use the locking carabiners. That may change, though. ✴


Harmonic singing, Pagani Huayra BC, and multiplayer. That is this video in a nutshell. ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽฎ But the question is Why?! Who would ever sing like this while playing a racing game?! ๐Ÿคฏ Really, who else? Is this not the channel where "all sorts of things" happen? Yes, yes it is. ๐Ÿ•ถ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ


I am torn between whether or not this should get an entry entirely on its own. ๐Ÿค” Yes, I think it wholly deserves to be a separate topic. The nature of it is very serious. Having it jumbled within a this blog entry of other topics, would be too distracting for a matter like this. Stay tuned for that post. ๐Ÿ˜⚠ 

Since the King Of The Fall Update has come upon us, there are some things that have changed, others that have not. Asphalt 9: Legends is not as pay-to-win as it was, ever since they improved the garage system. It now allows us to get epic import parts for many past Unleashed vehicles. And their blueprints, too. ๐Ÿ Still, there are many nagging issues such as knockdowns in multiplayer, unhealthy multiplayer league requirements in the World Series, the inability to choose the epic import parts at the end of the season, multiplayer latency and/or hacking, inability to choose between 60 FPS and 30  FPS -- ok, pretty much everything I mentioned in the video is still relevant. ๐Ÿ˜• Not good! I appreciate the frequent car hunts, and ease of getting past unleashed vehicles, but even this is still not good enough, especially when you look at how bad the unfixed problems are. Will Gameloft change? ๐Ÿค” Time will tell, but it is certainly possible. 


Let's get this out of the way: the D-ring carabiner is not very useful, due to its small opening. So what I did, was I took two pliers: one to hold, one to open, and took off the tiny ring. I fitted it with a larger D-ring from my PandaHall Elite set, then put a Gimars D-ring carabiner onto it. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ Totally worth the upgrade. Now, attaching my Geekria EJB6906 onto things is WAAAYYYY easier! ✅ As for the Geekria case itself, I love it. It looks and feel great. If you are wondering why I have two, I'll tell you:

1) One is used to hold my Audio Technica SonicFuel In-Ear Headphones that I use for outside of the house.

2) The other is used for the indoors, where it holds my Skullcandy Ink'd+ In-Ear Sound Isolating Headphones

So now you know. 

This picture was taken before fitting a larger D-Ring onto them. I have not taken a picture of the upgrade yet, but should probably do so at some point.


My oh my! ๐Ÿคฏ Another noise session with throat singing?! YES! ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽต๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒŠ This time, even more of it! ๐Ÿ‘€ "Is every episode going to have it?" No, but prepared for the unexpected! ๐Ÿ‘พ Fun fact: most of the rocks in that video came from the coastlines of Ajax, Whitby, and possibly Oshawa. ๐Ÿค“ Why do you care to know that? BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU DO! ๐Ÿคช Stop freakin' lying so much just to look cool, when it's making you look dumber than Dummer LeDumDum! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜


So as I mentioned in the previous entry, I wanted to get the entry for the September-October 2019 uploads done first. I initially had plans to have everything under one blog post. ๐Ÿคฏ Thankfully, I quickly scrapped that idea. ๐Ÿ˜Œ It's not good to have too many videos and topics jumbled into one entry. It's chaotic. ๐Ÿ˜ต As for the November uploads, I'll likely begin editing them later this week, or early next week. You can expect to see them close to the end of the month. There are two more posts I need to cover for this week: the warning post and "Link Link". While you know what to expect for the warning post, you do not know what "Link Link" is all about. It sounds like it suggests that Nintendo character, but nope! Nothing to do with him at all! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Stay tuned to find out soon! In fact, since the latter three entries are overdue, I'll put all the links to them in a single Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr post, as opposed to giving them a separate post each.

June 12th Entry: Extremely Late May Uploads

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                  2019-06-12


June 13th Entry: Extremely Late May Uploads


๐Ÿ”ตThis blog post may contain affiliate links



Wow! I just finished uploading the last of the May 2019 batch of uploads, yesterday! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Yikes! ๐Ÿ˜จ They were all supposed to be on the channel by May 29th at the absolute latest. What happened? Well, if you have read the May 31st entry, then you will know that it was because of Windows Movie Maker no longer wanting to export my 4K videos. Why? Well, I can naturally assume that it is because of the graphics. At least, until I noticed that the other editing programs were able to export 4K videos without this problem. ๐Ÿ˜’ Has Microsoft secretly programmed it to behave faulty after exporting a certain number of times? I don't know, but that would be a criminal offence if they did. Remember how it went down with Apple slowing down their iPhones? I believe Italy may have also found Samsung doing something similar and wanted to fine them. Let's just say that blatantly making on older product or service crappier, to force consumers to upgrade is straight up illegal. Alright, I'll talk more about my time with the new editor and such within the What's Next & Other Ramblings area of this blog post. Now finally, let's proceed to discussing the extremely late May videos. ๐Ÿ˜“


The  "Scotch Brite Value Pack Lint Roller 5 Pk - 400 Sheets" is the name of the specific one I bought. The one I was contemplating at first was the "Scotch-Brite Lint Roller, 50 Percent Stickier, 1 Roller with 70 Sheets, Refillable Lint Brush". Like many who would be skeptical of how much stickier it actually is, I just went with the 5 Pack 400 Sheets. Do I regret my purchase? No. It does a great job of removing hair and other particles off my clothes and other surfaces. Should I try the Stickier version? I don't know. If you have legitimately used both, and can strongly attest to the Stickier version being the superior of the two, let me know in the comments. Even better, if you have a YouTube video where you demonstrated it, you would not only be helping me, but thousands of others as well.

Anker time! ๐Ÿ”‹๐Ÿ”Œ⚡ Getting a second charger was long overdue. I had several older junkier chargers that just did not do a high performing job. I put them away, and decided to add a 300cm Anker Powerline to my purchase. With two high quality chargers, I can now finally charge both my BlackBerry Passport and Nokia Lumia 1520 with greater reliability. Oh, and transfer files smoother, too. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Because the connectors are so tight, they don't wiggle and cause a disconnection within the computer.


Because there has been two other episodes I've filmed after this one, I honestly do not even remember what was special about this one anymore. Well, I don't think there was anything "special" about it to begin with. Still would have helped if I were able to get the entry written sooner. ๐Ÿ˜’


Did you miss the rainbow cat? Well, you'll be pleased to see it again in this video! ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐ŸŒˆ I've updated the app to see what changes have been made. Aside from maybe power ups and possibly new worlds, not much else. And yes, this one was recorded internally with the iPhone 6s Plus' screen recorder, and not the Nokia Lumia 1520's Bugrosoft plagued camera applications. So what does this mean for you? ๐Ÿคจ No random cutoffs, and consistent 1080p@60FPS gameplay. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ


After placing merchandise within the videos for several episodes, I have finally decided to make an episode without any. Because you know? It's good to switch things up sometimes. I'm sure many of you will also find the rocks in water much more refreshing to look at. ๐Ÿ˜…
Unfortunately, I did not take the usual regular pictures of this setting. By the time I had noticed I didn't, I could not be bothered with recreating the scene. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜ณ


"How come the Oshawa pier has guard rails, but the Whitby pier doesn't?" If you have asked this question after watching the video, or even just looking at the thumbnail, guess what? You're not alone! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Though they can obviously lock it in bad weather, I can tell you that this Whitby pier, unlike Oshawa, is still very easy to get into. No, I am not suggesting you do that, so don't go saying "GuuzakaTube" told me to go in there, should you get into complications. ๐Ÿ˜ Anyways! It was a beautiful place, and I enjoyed the view. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ™‚


In an area like this, one does not simply go home with just one video. Therefore, I did 3: 2 on the Nokia Lumia 1520, and one on the BlackBerry Passport. This park is located within the vicinity Sunrise Lake Park, only a little further east. Well, nothing more I can say other than to enjoy the gentle waves and 4k footage. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ˜„



"GuuzakaTube, aside from the resolutions between these videos, what's the big difference?" You might ask. Well, not a lot to be honest. This video has more action in it, because I throw lots of rocks during some parts of it. Not entirely though, as parts of it are also chill. So all in all, it is a half action, half chill video. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒŠ EDIT: I threw rocks in the Nokia Lumia's video, too. 


Yeti machete! Except that it is obviously not a machete, because you know I'm only trying to rhyme. ๐Ÿ˜ Anyways! Now that I've actually been able to use this Yeti Rambler outdoors, I can tell you that the size and width of the mouth are very useful. Oh, and their sturdier handles. The latter is what made me ultimately choose it over Hydroflask. Despite that, I do plan to to get a Hydroflask bottle at some point. They too, are also really good and are cheaper than Yetis. Yes, many people complain about Yeti being overpriced, but guess what? You don't have to buy one. Seriously, complaining about their price tags obviously has not made them lower their price. They are a premium brand name outdoors company, so their price reflects that. Not that this should be a reason to make prices unnecessarily high, but it is what it is. Oh yes, and in case people were wondering why I bought two, that blue one was not actually mine. It was destined for a relative. ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ


Well, this title sums it up spot on: I buy 8, 9 actually, Lamborghini
Packs and do other things like play in Career, Time Limited Events, and so forth. Wanted to buy the Lamborghini Aventador J as well, but I did not have enough tokens for that cash grab car. And no, I still have not, and will never spend any real currency on this game. Screw
 the pay-to-win system! ๐Ÿ˜‘ Food and bills are too expensive to be wasting money on cars that Gameloft will likely nerf in an update or two. And for the record, this would technically count as a criminal offence, since they are blatantly reducing the performance of things they expect people to pay money for, in effort to make them buy a newer offering(s). So Gameloft, wake up and realize that some of your money making schemes are crimes!!! ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฑ 
One of the Lamborghinis I was fortunate to unlock from the packs.


Since the weather has warmed up, more flowers and other plants are appearing on the properties, making them much more attractive to film. And slipping hazards, thick snow, rhinitis, and other botherations associated with colder weather naturally disappear, too. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Well, rhinitis can occur in all seasons, but is by far most prevalent in winter. Anyways! What's up with Saint Worden? Well, it was vandalized the week before I filmed this video. When I learned that it was vandalized, it captured my interest, so I decided to film it. As I disclaimed within the video, I have nothing to do with the criminals that performed that horrible act. I also do not support any destruction or bad activities towards properties. ๐Ÿ˜ It is important to reiterate this, due to the many stupid keyboard warriors out there, that entertain the idea of spewing foolishness. The building itself, wasn't anything too special, but the park behind it is quite nice. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ☀


Despite the delay and issues that occurred when I had to edit the last 3 of the May 2019 uploads, much of the June 2019 videos have already been filmed. Windows Movie Maker: I have been using this program for the longest time ever, and have never bothered to learn any other video editing program. I would have dabbled with Vegas Pro, but the cost was a turn off. I felt it was not worth it when Windows Movie Maker could do what I needed it to do: edit videos with ease, simplicity and grace. I was not, and still do not have the need for extravagant editing. It's just not my style. Suddenly, late May 2019 comes, and Movie Maker decides that it no longer wants to export my 4K videos. ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพ‍♂️๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿคฌ It also begins to occasional turn black and forces me to restart the program. It was at that moment, were I felt like I was seriously screwed. ๐Ÿ’€ Is it the end? Is there any other program I should try? Should I shell out for something decent and not too expensive for the sake of exporting 4K? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I had to act fast. Well, I didn't have to, but I really did not want the gap between uploads intended to be released within the same batch to be so big.

Therefore, I started taking a look at numerous free and paid programs. Wondershare FilmoraDaVinci Resolve, Camtasia, ShotcutVideoPad Video Editor, Lightworks, and VSDC. Filmora was the first one I took a look at, but decided against it due to concerns surrounding spyware, and what they do at their servers. Probably not true, but couldn't be bothered to do enough research to confirm that issue. Next, I looked at DaVinci Resolve. I then decided to download it and give it a shot. The user interface was completely alien, but I still wanted to see if it could really export 4K videos. After poking around and looking up how to export, I then discovered that the free version has limited options for the frame rates. Not as much flexibility certain other editors have, so I decided to try something else. VideoPad Video Editor was a tempting option, especially considering its resemblance to Windows Movie Maker. However, when I read about how some people experienced great difficulties in removing it, and how it creates many registries within your computer's system, it turned me off from it. Time is ticking. ๐Ÿ•’ Who am I going to use next? I then looked briefly looked at VSDC, Lightworks, and Shotcut. Did not spend a ton of time examining VSDC and Lightworks, but decided to go watch a tutorial on Shotcut

Why Shotcut? Don't know. It just happened to appeal the most to me for some reason, so I went ahead and downloaded it. I did some test exports, and was pleased with the options and how the videos came out. And guess what? I CAN FINALLY EXPORT VIDEOS PRODUCED ON MY IPHONE 6S PLUS, WITHOUT THAT OBNOXIOUS SOUND DISTORTION!!! ✨๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒ  YIIIIIIIIIPEEEEEEEEE! HA HAAAAAAAAAA! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ Yes, I had to both capitalize and bold this statement, because it is truly incredible! As it turns out, the problem really did have to with Windows Movie Maker's inability to export the video's as mono MOV files. No so with Shotcut. You get options galore. Welcome back to outdoor videos, iPhone 6s Plus. ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒŠ☀ Speaking of that, this leads to the next thing I'd like to discuss: What's next?

5 outdoor videos, one of which was done on the iPhone 6s Plus, a commentary video voiced over outdoor footage, Asphalt 9, Casual Instrumental Noise Session Episode #22, and an unboxing video. ๐Ÿ˜ You are excited. Don't lie. ๐Ÿคฅ I can just feel your hidden excitement through your screens! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ So! How was the move from Shotcut to Windows Movie Maker? Honestly, it is a big step up. I still use Windows Movie Maker for the Call-to-Action slides, due to it's more granular controls over setting precise duration for images. Maybe there is a way to do it with ease in Shotcut, but I'm not sure how it's done. Despite what I said about Vegas Pro earlier, I still have it on my radar. I'll need a new computer to use it though. If Shotcut can easily eat up 7-9GB of my computer's 12GB of RAM, I can only imagine that Vegas Pro would annihilate my computer. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

April 30th Entry: Loving The Lake

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                  2019-04-30


April 30th Entry: Loving The Lake


๐Ÿ”ตThis blog post may contain affiliate links



There are nine videos in this batch of uploads, three of which are dedicated to the lake. ๐ŸŒŠ It has been quite a while, not terribly long though, since I've visited the lake. Filming the April 2019 lake videos has reminded me how lovely it is to be by Lake Ontario. To find out more about my time down there, read the appropriate areas of this blog post. Let's dive into the videos! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ“ธ⭐



While this video comes in at just under two hours, the original video was over that! ๐Ÿคฏ But unfortunately, the audio was badly out of sync with the video... ๐Ÿ˜ญ Well, most of it. Therefore, I had to remove it which also allowed me to speed it up easily. There would  be no point in watching Asphalt 9 without any sound at the original speed. Audio issues aside, the hunt for the hyper hybrid red colt was successful! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽ It really is a shame that Greedloft only gives it four cans, before you have to watch 7+ advertisements to refill it... ๐Ÿ˜ฃ Not cool. I've said it numerous times in videos, but not here, so I'll say it: either a) remove the fuel system. b) Double the number of fuel points the vehicles currently have. Example: 6/6 vehicles would become 12/12, 5/5 = 10/10 and you get the idea. That way, it would give players so much more freedom to enjoy their favourite cars, while Greedloft could still implement ads for those that managed to burn through all of it. 




Crofter's Organic Strawberry Jam 235mlDruide Citronella Repellent Spray 250mLJoy of the Mountains Oil of Oregano 30mLGreen Cricket Body Lotion Lavender 500mLJason Soothing Aloe Vera Body Wash 887mLGlee Gum Triple Berry 16 Pieces, and Glee Gum Sugar-Free Lemon Lime 15 Pieces. Whew! ๐Ÿ˜… That was a lot of product names to copy and paste! Now, you can obviously see what I unboxed simply by looking at the photo below, or from the video's thumbnail. What you want to know is how good these products are. The strawberry jam is nothing special. Tastes great, mild and natural. Not like one of the other brands where you tell they've added extra sugar to it. I have not recently tested the citronella oil, so I cannot comment on it. In the past, I found it to be effective against mosquitoes, but do not know how well it holds up now. The oil of oregano is amazing! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ It's done a great job for helping to ward off colds. It's not bulletproof, but it sure does help a lot. The lavender lotion smells just like the essential oil, but is not overwhelming. That said, if you have sensitive skin, you should avoid it. The aloe vera body wash is refreshing and non-irritating. The glee gum just tastes like gum riddled with cane sugar. While cane sugar is nice, I expect gum to last and freshen your mouth. This gum does not do that. Well, at least not the flavours I chose. Overall, I'm satisfied with most of these goods I bought. I just wish they'd have those Nature's Path Granola Bars Berry Strawberry 5x35g in stock. ๐Ÿ˜›


Yeh, the usual madness. Don't worry, not every single episode is going to feature merchandise. In fact, you will be pleased, sad, or indifferent to hear that Episode #21 does not have products with their brand names smiling and waving at you. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ Well, the videos aren't sponsored, but you know what I mean when I say that. Anyways! Products aside, I finally bought a Selmer Series II Bass Saxophone - Silver Plated!!! ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฅ You know what that emoji means, right? Yeah, I think you do. ๐Ÿ˜ณ


This marks the first episode where I strayed away from the once-a-month recording of Asphalt 9. The Caribbean was just too special to ignore. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿฅฅ๐Ÿฅญ Both of my parent, and much of my relatives came from it. Some are still living on some of the islands. Ah, I really do need to visit it again someday. For now, let us discuss this episode. As mentioned in the video, the tracks are pretty and all, but not very fun to drive on. They are very twisty, and painfully tough to master -- especially when they feature that rainforest section. ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ˜ต๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด The short ones without it are ok, though. The career races require you to use a convertible or topless car. The problem? Majority of them are locked away behind tokens...๐Ÿ™„ I tell you man, an Asphalt game without tokens would be great! ๐Ÿ˜ Too bad, it's not reality. ๐Ÿ’” Thankfully, tokens are not as tough as they were to get in Asphalt 8, but still. Did I tell you that this video has audio in sync? ๐Ÿ˜Ž Yeah, and so will the May 2019 Asphalt 9 videos.




23.7 gigabytes! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฒ That's how big this video turned out to be. You see, it's reasons like this why many aren't flocking to other platforms. YouTube, despite all the pains, pangs, and treatment towards creators, allows you to upload video sizes all the way up  to 128GB at no cost to you, anytime, any day of the week, as much as you want. Till other platforms can match or best that, YouTube will forever reign as the video uploading king. Uploading and size aside, it felt amazing to not only play, but record this nostalgic game! ๐Ÿ˜„ Sure, it was awkward as first with the BlackBerry Passport keyboard controls, but it became better when I got them figured out.











Really wanted to do this commentary while walking around the headquarters, but alas! I did not do that, because there was a whole heap of people in the area that made me nervous. Funnily, this video also happened to be filmed during a holiday weekend, too. ๐Ÿ˜ Wait, that itself explains why there were so many people: it's because this place is also home to a wildlife area and campgrounds further east. Anyways! Let's talk about General Motors! ๐Ÿ’ญ I have not been closely following the news with what's happening in the United States. For Canada, we know that the Oshawa plant is going. What will happen next? It is still uncertain. I may have heard a word about it being turned into a commercial area. If true, it will take time, perhaps years, to get the area cleaned up and turned into something else. 

I've said it in the video itself and the video description, but I think the best thing Canada can do is put its own automotive brand into the facility and headquarters. Sure, that's going to take some time, but it will be damn well worth it! ๐Ÿ˜ค It will show the world that Canada no longer only manufacturers foreign nameplates, but that it is also strong, creative and innovative. ๐Ÿš™๐Ÿ Let's go, Canada! ๐Ÿ You can do it! ✅ I believe in you! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ


It's amazing how a 2013 smartphone like the Nokia Lumia 1520, can still take such fine videos. It wasn't the warmest day, but it was so refreshing to walk through the trails, listen to the animals, then come down to the coastline to film the waves and nearby surroundings. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŽฅ One advantage the cold weather has is the absence of mosquitoes, but that won't last too long... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I welcome the warm weather, but I do not welcome the mosquitoes, ticks and other biters...๐Ÿ˜ถ So, um, yeah, if you plan to do videos and photoshoots in outdoor areas, remember to bring protection such as the citronella I discussed above. Lyme disease or West Nile Virus are both terrible things...๐Ÿค’


Though it may have looked cool to see the BlackBerry Passport in the Nokia Lumia 1520 and iPhone 6s Plus' videos, watching and editing this was no fun. ๐Ÿ˜ด Next time, I will hold it and pan it around to make it not only more interesting for myself, but for viewers. Unless you were just "listening" to the waves, then sure. Watching? You're going to fall asleep -- wait, maybe that's another thing this video could be good for! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚



A gorgeous video, but had to remove the sound...๐Ÿ˜’ Next!


 So yes, if you're a gamer or outdoors person, you will be pleased with the April 2019 uploads. I do have plans to do more Lake videos, so if you enjoyed those above, you will want to stay tuned for May 2019. ๐ŸŒŠ Enjoyed the fact this month brought two Asphalt 9 videos? You will again, be pleased to know that May 2019 will also bring two as well. ๐ŸŽฎ This will not be the case for every month, but just confirming this for May. As mentioned above, Casual Instrumental Noise Session Episode #21 has been filmed, and it will feature something from nature. ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ Nothing to get excited about, but it will be a refreshing departure from the merchandise you've seen for the past several episodes. ๐Ÿ˜… Well, I guess that's all I have to say. Have a safe weekend. ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒŠ
