I'll get around to it eventually…

I Fail with Computers

I should have updated earlier, sorry.

This post is not about a view or anything, but I feel I ought to say it anyway.

While working with the footage recorded on Saturday, I realised that I was running seriously low on Memory (under 1GB), so I decided that I ought to do a clean up.
When I meantioned this to others they told me that I should get rid of footage once I had put it up on Youtube. I was going to use the footage again, but they had a point.

I came to the conclusion that I should delete my videos that I had already put up on Youtube and keep the raw footage that was recorded.

At this point, I should mention that my computer has a weird way of saving the footage and vids that doesn’t make sense. I also had not backed-up my files because they were too big, I had nowhere to do it, and I, honestly, forgot (so I’ve only got myself to blame).

I selected what I thought to be the vids, and sent them to the recycling bin. When I emptied the bin, 49 files wouldn’t delete (a good thing in retrospect, I guess), leaving the 21 that did to be sent to their fate.

When the files wouldn’t delete, I checked my free memory and saw that it had shot up to 6GB, so I ignored them and returned to the footage I was still processing… and that’s where I realised that I had made an error.

It had not taken me long to learn that what I was certain was my videos was actually my footage, so I returned what was left in the bin to its folder and started to panic.

I have now quaranteed my computer and are using two separate, free restoration software packages in an attempt to get back what was lost.

Worst case scenario is: I’ve lost all the footage and will not be able to finish putting the vids recorded onto youtube.

And just so that you know, I have saved stuff as well during this incident so I know that some of it has been lost for good. I just hope that I can get what is left, which should be a lot.

Deviantart

Deviantart is (for those who don;t know) a website that is designed so that people can show off creative talent, be it drawing, writing, animation, etc.

Before I begin, this is not a rant, hell no! I would like to sign up to it except I have little artist ability worth noting and I feel that if someone joins something like Deviantart or youtube, that the make some sort of contribution and I don’t just mean subscribing to people and making comments. …But that’s not what I want to talk about, I want to recommend some artists that I like to check for updates.

Just so that you know: I mostly (uh… unofficially "follow") these artists not so much because of content (though that does have some input on my opinion of their work) but because of their style of art. Now, I am not an artist, so this is my opinion of "good", I do not know what whether this is generally agreed or just my personal opinion.

Righty then, the Artists: (note: OC =  Original Character)

Sigurdhosenfeld: This guy is brilliant, bit of a Peach fan, but amazing none the less. He Mainly does Mario series Fanart in what I guess to be an Animé art style. His work generally consists of Portraits of Characters

TheBourgyman: Another Mario Fanartist, his work is cartoony and holds a rather simple humour to it. His work tends to be more comics / single scenarios staring either Mario characters or His OC.

Natsilva: Similar to the Bourgyman, this artist does both Mario and her (what I guess are) OCs. Her working is very cartoonistic and consists mostly of Comics and single scenarios.

Yuina19: This artist does brilliant manga style art. Her work consists a lot of The Legend of Zelda portrait fanart.

Feena-chan: Another Manga artist (I think). This content of the art is largely Mario Fanart and her avatar (which is a character from a game, I can’t remember her name) and is Mostly single scenarios, with a good number of animations in her gallery.

Karbo: This artist does Manga and mostly about his OCs and their fantasy world. A lot of his work contains vore (eating creatures, usually people, alive), and most of it is behind Mature Filters so I can only give a limited recommendation. He also has a book, more info on his deviantart page.

This is it for the artists. Whether or not you go take a look is your choice. I state agian that that I little knowledge on art so… please don’t complain if I got any of the style names wrong.

Tryin’ out blogin’

Righty then, I’m new to this bloging thing so I will try update it fairly often with random news and Youtube Video Updates!
First off: Playthroughs: Either Paper Mario: The Thousand year Door or Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.
I’m leaning towards Mario because I’ve already got some Glitch up, but it is a bit slow so… yea…
Anywho, I am currently trying to sort out a date to continue recording Four Sword Adventures with Costars: Ross, Jo3K94, and BadShotMike which I know went down well.
I think that’s it, might try to get a capture card for better recording quality with videos like Brawl and Glitch
See ya
