Just a Few Things

So I’m at a friend’s house, and we’re all just chilling out.  I happen to have my laptop here, so I figured I’d make a blog entry.  I haven’t updated this thing in a while.  :)

Man I love nights like this.  Sitting around a table with a big group of friends, a beer in hand.  And no, I don’t drink very often at all, and when I do, it’s never very much.  And I know a good portion of my audience is underage, so if there’s one message I want to get across right now, it’s this: don’t drink, you young people.  And for those of you of age to drink, make sure you drink responsibly.  It’s how I do it.  :)

Anyway, there are a few things I wanna talk about in this blog entry.

Swearing in Duke Nukem

“Oh my gosh,” people are saying, “X is swearing!  He’s not supposed to swear!”  I’m glad you guys have such a high opinion of me, but everyone has multiple dimensions.  I like to let my commentary and personality reflect the game I’m playing, and there’s really no other way to compliment Duke Nukem than to let my bad-ass self cut loose.  My personality does change from game to game, and this is how I have the most fun with Duke.  Don’t worry guys, I’m not “changing.”  This is a part of me that’s always been here.  ”But X,” some people say, “popularity changes people.”  Maybe that’s true, but don’t worry — I’m not one of those people.  :)

A New Game

So there’s a new game I want to play on my channel.  I’m not going to say what it is, but it’s pretty awesome.  I think I’ll play the demo on my channel first and see what you guys think of it.  Should be out sometime this weekend, but, as usual, no guarantees!

Minecraft Friday Update

With the Blue Series of X’s Adventures in Minecraft, I intend to cover the Friday updates that Notch releases.  This usually means a Minecraft video will come out on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday every week.  Just keeping you guys in the loop.

Optimus Prime

Man, I love Optimus Prime.

My Twitter Account

I update my Twitter much more often than I update my blog.  If you want to keep abreast of all the latest with my channel and with me in general, you’d do well to follow me there.  Here’s the link: http://www.twitter.com/davidangel64

Machinima Premiere Director

In case you’re not aware, SeaNanners’ spot as a Premiere Director at Machinima is open.  I’m aware I qualify to apply for it.  But I don’t feel I’m ready.  I’m at a point with my YouTube channel and in my life that I’ve got to make some very key decisions.  And I don’t know where my status a Premiere Director would fit into all that.  I’m excited about all the opportunities coming my way, but that’s one that I’m happy to let slip by me for the time being.  When it comes around next time, maybe I’ll apply for it.  But right now, I’m just planning to take things slow and make decisions carefully.

I know I’d do a good job as a Premiere Director, I’m just not ready for it.  So we’ll see what the future holds!

Donations

I’m pleased to say that I’ve received a few donations so far, and I’m very thankful.  Currently I’ve received enough donations to buy Cataclysm for World of Warcraft, OR StarCraft 2… or I can save up for a new Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle, which would let me venture into the realm of console games on my channel… I’m not sure which way i should go with this at the moment.  Any suggestions?

Oh, and if you’d like to donate (all donations go toward making more videos, or making videos better, or making videos faster), you can do so here: Donations

I think that covers everything I want to talk about… you guys have any questions you want to ask?  I’d be happy to answer some questions here on the blog.

As Mookie (creator of my favorite webcomic, Dominic Deegan) would say:

That’s all from me for now.  Rock on.
