What keeps me up at night…

I was running late on schedule yesterday. One of my friends invited me to play Halo 2. Even though I don't like Halo 2, I still went just because I needed time off YouTube and GameSpot. I came home around 11 PM and realized I didn't srtart on my April Fools video for YouTube yet. I started working by creating a concept map on Wordpad and filming Banjo-Kazooie. I stayed working on it until about 7 AM which is when I crashed on my bed. I was nearly falling asleep on my desk. I woke up around 11 AM (4 hours of sleep) and started working on it again. I was about 50% finished. I got all the clips I needed. I just needed to transfer the videos to Vegas and add text/transitions. I just finished about an hour ago and is processing at YouTube while I type this. If it's finished processing, I'll post the link here because I'm expecting this to be another huge blog.

Someone commented on my YouTube profile about my video, Banjo-Kazooie: Cameos . He said I missed some cameos, regardless that I said I missed some on my video description and for people to post a video responce about the cameos I didn't add. He doesn't have the tools to ceate his own video and would like for me to created another cameos video with the cameos he posted. Since my first Cameos video was ytmnd inspired, I decided to make the sequel ytmnd inspired too. Raeget mentioned the Moskau fad on IM. I listed to it at YouTube and it sounds perfect for my next video! lol. What is Love might be used for the credits.

But before that, I need to finish editing GTA Legends Podcast. I'm thinking of adding a intro. Basically, all I need to do is listen to all 30+ 15 minute clips and removed the errors, pauses, and things that we don't want the GameSpot staff to hear. I'll finish the recruitment video after I'm finished with GTAL Radio.

I'm getting more and more tempted into buying a PS3. The first game that drew me to it was Grand Theft Auto IV but that is on the Xbox 360 now, which I already own. Home didn't justify the $600 console for me, no matter how cool it looked. Same with Littlebigplanet. I recently started playing Ratchet and Clank on PS2 and after seeing the new R&C trailer for PS3… I was amazed. If Ratchet stays PS3 exclusive, then it's a buy for me, no questions asked. This also helps support my theory that a console only needs one exclusive game that'll draw you into buying it and, eventually, you'll buy other exclusive titles for it that you weren't interested in before. NBow, after wanting Ratchet & Clank: Future Tools of Destruction, I can't wait to play Motorstorm, Littlebigplanet, Warhawk, Eight Days, and PS Home.

New Banjo-Threeie screens were posted at IGN. Fans are speculating if these are real or an April Fools prank.

What do you think? They were obviously taken in front of a television so they might be real.

Also, I was screwing around with YouTube's new features. There have this replace audio feature where noobs can add music to their video. On the rock category, it seems that Alter Bridge is getting some recognition.

And that's all I have to say. My April Fools video is STILL processing! It's been over 30 minutes! ugh! I need this in by TODAY! Darn you, Glitchtube!!!
