UNLIMITED POWER!

Or.. Unlimited YouTube's. I got a message telling me the 15 minute cap had been taken from my account, so I tested it out. 40-odd minute upload later and all is shiny.

I approve, YouTube. I don't understand why you did it, but I approve!

YouTube

Having largely ignored YouTube in the sense it was intended, I've only ever had an account so I could favourite and 'Like' videos, but as of today I've decided to actually start uploading videos myself.

They won't be 'owt fancy, so far I'm uploading a playthrough of Broken Sword bit by bit, and considering my current skint state, I don't have any decent equipment. Anyhow, I'll upload the whole thing and see how I feel after that, if I like doing it, I'll maybe upload all 4 Broken Sword games before moving on to something else, if I don't like the time it takes to render and upload videos, I might just say "fuck it" and abandon the idea, as I've done with so many other things.  Link to my channel below, I am trying to keep the videos ordered and organised, but YouTube keeps fucking it up.

Band of Brothers

I'm one of those rare individuals who has never seen this. Having just noticed the box-set lying around in my house, I thought "what the hell?" and popped it in.

Two episodes in and I fucking love it, I love the banter between the soldiers, I love the fact no-one plays one man army, and I love the little introductions to each episode with the (who I assume are) real veterans of the unit portrayed in the series.

I'll be watching another few episodes today, then maybe spend all of tomorrow just finishing the lot of it. A brilliant series so far, and one I can't believe I've missed all these years. Definitely one to be bought when I can.

Well...

As you can plainly see, I've kept this blog well and truly up-to-date so far. Alright, that's a lie, but I've had nothing interesting to write. I still don't, but I've been playing the new Age of Empires Online game today, thought I'd mention it's worth a go as a Free 2 Play game.

It does use Games for Windows Live, which sucks, but it's a few free cheevo's for those so-inclined, and it's a nice little time killer. It is geared towards premium members, though, so if you want the full experience, as with most F2P's expect to have to front some money for it, but saying that, they've got some decent prices since it's only just launched. An interesting little game, screen below:



A tad excessive, you think?

It Starts

Well, this is about the fourth blog I've made in my life. Usually they last about a month, then I get bored with making the tedious updates because I simply have nothing to write about.

I technically still have nothing to write about, but I'm sure I can blag it. I've done so before. The question is, will this one last any longer than the others before I no doubt get bored of it again?

It's a fucking mystery!
