Content under construction!

Well, it's been a long time since I've been here.  I apologize for the extended absence, it was not necessary to take it without explaining why.  I've been working on another project that takes priority over this, so it's been eating my time.  Sad to say, I don't have as much time to devote to this one as I'd like.

However, I will be moving to a place where I can work well enough pretty soon.  If my plan goes well enough, I will organize enough content to run the blog for at least a month when I have the chance.  I may take one full day and devote it to writing summaries and gathering links, which would be one fun task since Blogger insists on not showing me the correct results when I use their search function (which leads to a slightly more time consuming process of editing HTML, which makes my job slightly more boring).  Needless to say, with the amount of raw content I have listed, my work is cut out for me.

Another thing I should mention before I go is that in the absolute best case scenario, content should be up and running by September 7.  If that date sounds familiar, I shouldn't have to explain what's going to be posted.  In case you're new or are just terrible with dates, I will be posting the entirety of the Haunted Cartridge Arc's videos on the sixth anniversary of their release.  I may even continue with the Moon Children Arc's, who knows?

With that bit of information out of the way, have a good end-of-summer/beginning-of-classes.  I look forward to serving you all soon!

2016

Wow, it's been a while!  Considering my terrible track record when it comes to being on time, surely nobody here should be surprised that I neglected this blog for months at a time.  I didn't exactly want to, but I will, to the best of my ability, explain my reasons for not updating in such a long time.  I hope this is sufficient.

The last post I made happened two days before I moved onto campus again.  I thought I was prepared to keep it going, like I had been through the previous semester.  I was wrong as hell.  There were external forces at work, and they were keeping me from doing even things I wanted to do.  I've put several projects on hold, ranging from Fan Drowned to a novelization project, and I even began to neglect my duties to the Zelda Wiki.  That last one itself caused me much emotional turmoil, and it was a constant, endless loop of unhappiness.  I wanted to work, but I didn't want to; I hated myself for not doing it, but I couldn't will myself to talk about it.

Following some time off from everything, I returned to the wiki's Slack channel and told them I wanted to resign, a full year after I joined.  That was last week.  Since then, my stress has let up considerably.  I have plans to see a psychiatrist at the soonest opportunity, as a precaution and, hopefully, an assurance that nothing is wrong aside from my own error.  My will is slowly returning, and I want to work harder at my classes.  I'm still working up to physical activity, but I'm confident that I will reach it in time.

To be completely honest, I don't know when the next video update will be.  I've really shamed myself by leaving this place to rot, but I really want to make it better.  Hopefully, it will be soon.  I will do my absolute best to keep this alive, especially considering:

That is Alex Hall's Twitter, and assuming this isn't a facetious answer with no meaning, we have a confirmation that Hubris is coming in 2016, presumably after Methods of Revolution is released.  It's more than we've had to go on for a very long time (since the Ice Bucket challenge video, if I recall), so it's hard not to get excited at this.

Anyway, that's the news for the month of November.  When I finally get around to working on the next update, I will deliver the calendar post earlier in the day.  Everyone who reads this, thank you for your time and I will see you soon.

Update Schedule: August 2015

We're back on track!  Our next update day is actually going to have an update, which is pretty crazy considering the last two weeks.  The reason I've been without updates for so long is that classes are starting again soon, and I've been dealing with college things.  And lots of sleeping.

Anyway, here's the schedule.  Update days are marked in orange, void days that I messed up are marked in black.

See you on the 15th!

Surprise, surprise.

I'm sincerely sorry for the lack of updates.  College stuff is about to start, so I've been preparing and my mind has not been here.  Expect the next update to come along with this month's update schedule.

Incredibly sorry! Again!

I don't have an excuse for this one.  I'll try to have one on time for the next update day, I promise I'm not losing interest!

Other projects having me busy.  I should start scheduling posts...

John is Dead: an ARG

I understand that this update isn't a video, but I feel like it's worth mentioning here.  A group of people with interest in the original Haunted Cartridge story and its following ARG are currently holding their own ARG.  I've been a participant for its entire duration.

Following the abandonment of Remember.exe, some of the players of that ARG (minus Sam, the head of R.exe) have taken on the role of our game masters.  Set in the same continuity as the story of the Moon Children, and obviously not canon to Alex Hall's work, it explores a separate cult, related to the Moon Children by association.

Though the ARG wasn't intended for a large audience, mainly intended for the survivors of Within Hubris, it's gathered a bit of attention on Reddit.  So, I guess I'm plugging it here, after 7 months.  The Internet Detectives (the Skype group formed to solve the ARG) is the main group tackling the game.  Though it's technically possible for outside participation, the ID was the intended audience and it's suggested that you remain in contact with them if you wish to participate.  You can find more information about this business at our tumblr.

I hope this suffices in place of a video tonight!

I'll resolve this schedule problem in a few days.

I'm unable to do it tonight due to unexpected events, but next update should come on time, as the calendar says.  Sorry for the delay!  Again!

I totally didn't forget.

Okay, I forgot.  I haven't been that attentive lately, so I guess I got kind of lazy after I skipped the Fourth.  I promise, it'll actually happen tomorrow the day after tomorrow.

Independence Day Cancellation

Hello!  Happy Fourth, if you're in the US.  Tonight I will be gone and I've been terribly busy for the last few days, so I'm unable to update for tonight.  Regular updates will continue on the 7th.

So enjoy your Independence Day, and don't let the aliens from that Will Smith movie kill us all.

Update Schedule: July 2015

Good morning!  I come to you for the first time today, and with me is the update schedule for July.

No special days this month, only regular updates as marked in orange.

Happy update day, I'll be back tonight with another video.

Rethinking a thing.

Hello, ambiguous number of viewers.  I have a short announcement regarding something that's been bugging me.  The way I post the videos in a series, it seems like they're over way too quickly.  So, I've decided to extend the time period between serial updates by three days.

With that, I guess I'm finished for now.  Have a wonderful evening.

Cancellation for tonight.

Hey guys.  Since there's a super special day tomorrow, and two days in a row for updates just doesn't look good to me, we're gonna cancel tonight's update.  It also gives me a bit more time to wade through the metric tons of content I have.

I work hard for this!  Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience.  See you all tomorrow.

Update Schedule: June 2015

Hello, ambiguous number of people who may or may not be here!  It's the first of the month, which means it's time for the Update Schedule.  Spoiler alert: June is a good month.

Update days are marked in orange, and special days are marked in red.

As you can see here, we have two special days side by side each other (and one even fell into a regular update position!).  June is the month in which Jadusable posted his very first videos, which are what you're seeing in red.

I hope you're looking forward to the update tonight.  See you then!

Good news!

I've found myself some time to do this tonight!  I don't know what I'm posting yet, but there will be something.  So, I guess we're back in business.  See you tonight, at 11:30.  Like it's meant to be.

Little update...

I'm actually very busy lately with life, and I have not been able to keep up with this blog.  I've tiptoed around it, but honestly now I feel really bad about it.  There may be some time before the next update, but it will happen soon.  If anyone actually reads this and enjoys it, I'm really sorry about this.

And I'm back!

Okay, that was an unexpected absence.  I was unable to post the last update due to my moving out of my dorm, so I'll make up for it by starting the next Blueshift series early, on the 14th.

I really have nothing else to say right now because the last few days have been pretty crazy, but I'll see you tomorrow with a song from 423 Ohm.

Fun night!

Alright, I'm ready to admit that I butchered last night's update.  Yesterday, I went to see Age of Ultron, and I didn't get back until much later than I anticipated.  Then I fell asleep.

So, I guess the real first update of the month is going to be on the 5th.  Sorry about that!

Update Schedule: May 2015

Hello!  If I've been lacking in emotion during updates, I sincerely apologize.  Finals have been creeping up on me, and I'll have finally reached them on Monday.  However, now that it's May, I can deliver our new calendar page for the month.

Update days are marked in orange, and since no special updates are planned, there are no days marked in red.

This month, we'll begin showing the first arc of Blueshift Productions' series, which we finished the Prequel Arc of last month.  No other things are planned as of today, but once finals are over, I'll finally be able to focus on things like this again.  See you tonight.

Update Schedule: April 2015

I've been considering this for a while, and after much procrastination, I finally got around to it!  Here's a little calendar with the update schedule on it, with the little mix-up from the 10th-12th clearly noted.

This is also a friendly reminder that it is indeed APRIL and the MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF THE YEAR is coming up quickly.  You will find that date marked in red, as you will find all important dates.  I hope I'm not forgetting anything here.

See you tonight, faithful audience of [surely a small number].

Schedule Adjustment

If you've been following for the short duration this blog has existed, you may or may not have gotten used to checking every three days at 11:30 PM for updates.  If this is the case, then I apologize for not posting a few hours ago.  I figured if I delayed by a day, then we'd make the April 23 post on schedule rather than going out of my way to awkwardly fit it between two lesser posts.

Not to say anything is bad, that decision is for you to make.  But when 4/23 comes around, there has to be something special.  It is, after all, the sacred number of the ARG.  So, I apologize for the slight inconvenience.  This may or may not happen in the future, but most likely will at some point if I decide to hold any...special events.

I'm off to bed now, so I'll see you later tonight.  You stay classy, San Diego.
