I’ve been out of the blog world for a while because I’ve been spending most of my free time watching all of Brickroad<\/a>‘s video Let’s Plays. In the last month I have watched, in their entirety, the playlists for Revengers of Vengeance<\/strong>, Shantae<\/strong>, Spelunky<\/strong>, and Crystalis<\/strong>. I am currently about halfway through the Secret of Evermore set.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I felt like it was time to make my own Let’s Play. Hence the Spelunky video in the previous post. I knew it was a bad idea. I’m not the type of person who has charisma to spare, or interesting things to say. That and I really, really hate the sound of my own voice. But alas, I could not rest until the deed was done, and I spent the bulk of yesterday evening recording a video Let’s Play of MegaMan X<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Don’t get all excited by the prospect of watching the set and telling me how bad they are. I know<\/em> how bad they are. It’s just… I wanted to have something of at least a little relevance on my YouTube channel. But yeah, it’s pretty bad. I had nothing to say most of the time, and every second sound out of my mouth is either an “umm” or an exasperated sigh. It was a neat project, and I had fun doing it, but the quality of the final product is a little disappointing. I don’t know if I want to post one a week to fluff my content level, or just post them all at once to minimize the pain.<\/p>\n

On the upside, MegaMan X is one of the few games I know really well, and I was able to wrap it up fairly quickly and efficiently. There are no game overs, few deaths, and a handful of neat little things that I knew to show off. I skipped over a couple neat things (the hadoken, mostly), but covered pretty much all the game has to offer.<\/p>\n

Don’t much like it though. We’ll see if anyone else thinks differently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
