BLOG: A Blog Post for "The Internet"

*COUGH COUGH COUGH* Oh man... this place is rather... dusty. It looks like I've gone a year and a couple months without posting anything here on the main blog.  I mean, our last video, "The Internet" came out in September... why didn't I post an entry then? HOW COULD I LET THIS HAPPEN?! Oh wow, sorry for yelling. I just... I'm so emotional right now. This website is my pride and joy, and I've just left it here to rot. NEVER FEAR, BECAUSE HERE COMES A BLOG POST FOR "THE INTERNET." ...

So uh, yeah. I forgot how to write for this blog. It seems like all my days are on my tumblr now... sorry Webs blog... IT'S NOT YOU! Well, actually it is. But I still love you!

Oh man, this post is harder to write than I thought. I had to wanted to post something for "The Internet," but geez, that was so long ago. I know this seems like a cheap way out, and I uh... I've done this before, BUT if you have questions about that video, feel free to leave a comment on this blog entry and I'll get back to you right away! I'm sorry... I just don't know what to type for this entry. I don't even know how to connect this post to the Spongebob .gif I used!

"Hey Jeffrey, why are you even posting something right now?"

Ah HA, you caught me! I'm preparing for the return of Nintendo Boy tomorrow! So be sure to check back tomorrow (or whenever June 5th, 2012 will be for you) for a new video... and MAYBE a new blog entry. ;)

Electrifying Feedback!

Are you a pikachu? Because you electrify me! ... Pretty bad pick up line, right? Or... is it the perfect one? Either way, it has a home in our newest video, "See What I Did There?" While I can never achieve the number of views I want for my videos (300 million), I was quite satisfied with this week. Our new video was released on Monday and received some great feedback right away on Facebook. In fact, at the time of writing, between all the links I've posted for the video, it has received 22 "likes," which isn't too shabby at all, not to mention the numerous positive comments! I was actually surprised that people liked it, because, well, I guess I never really know how people react to it, but it looks like it did pretty well! Another factor that I am quite proud of is the cinematography at the beginning... I've never really tried anything that fancy before, so I recurited the help of my friend Tyler Smith to help me achieve something different, and it was a very cool experience. I also learned, from the feedback of another friend, is the "5-second rule," where a shot should be no longer than 5 seconds or it becomes boring. Why was that the first time I ever heard of that? She was obviously adressing the main scene of the video where I spew out a couple of Pokemon pick up lines, and while I definitely agree with her, part of the joke was also that the scene was dragged out and uncomfortable. But, it's great advice and will definitely be used for the next video.

So, yes. I am quite proud of this video. The videos are continuing to improve, right? RIGHT!? If you have any questions or comments about the video, please leave them in the comments and I will be happy to answer them! Also, in case you missed the video (you read this entire blog entry without even watching it first?!), please use the handy link below!

Thank you, again, for sticking with me. I promise the next video will not be after another four-month hiatus! EVEN MORE laughs are on the way... STAY TUNED!

Another Long-Awaited Update

OKAY! Enough with the long gaps between blog entries. Yes, I know, I always say that, so I believe today's animation is appropriate (see what I did there? I'm showing that I keep going in circles with my blog promises) Anyway, there's so much to talk about. First off... er, actually I don't even know where to begin. Okay, get ready for a lot to be thrown at you. It's been four months since we've last talked, so let's just jump right in! Okay, so right off the bat, the project continues to be alive and well. In fact, if all goes according to plan, we will return with a new video sometime next week! Yes, while you may not here from me months at a time, I'm always busy trying to work on the next thing. Lately, I've been focused on my comedy writing on twitter, and as always I'm trying to get the best of what I write into a new video for the project!

I also want to work on revamping the site. I love what I have here, but let's face it, no one comes here to join the forums... I think we've moved beyond that. While I hate to strip away features from the site, I think it would be cool in a minimalist sort of way to just have the blog and the videos on here, nothing more. I'd probably keep the games, but yeah, you get the idea. I feel like people might be overwhelmed and might wonder what to do first when they arrive on the site, so I'm gonna work on fixing that. Perhaps a site-wide redesign is in the works? I dunno. I worked so hard on this theme (css-wise), I don't know if I could ever let it go!

Next item of business... "Snow Day"... yeah, remember that? If you do, well, it's probably been a while since you've seen it. So why not go re-watch it? That "old timey film" filter took forever to perfect. (; ... er, but seriously, it really did take a while to make. CLICK THE LINK BELOW! :{D

All right, what else is in the news? OH! Obligatory Nintendo news: Well, it IS in the name of the site, right?! Rumors have surfaced today that Nintendo's next console will be unveiled in the coming months, and will be much more powerful than the other two companies' consoles. I WANT TO BELIEVE! But obviously though, I'm looking forward to it.

So... what else is there to talk about? I'm happy to talk about anything, I OWE YOU GUYS. If you are reading this right now, I can't thank you enough for your support. I literally am just incapable of thanking you enough. Especially newer people that I've met within the last few months (such as my co-workers, people in my classes, at school, etc), THANK YOU for watching the videos. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. It really does.

More laughs are on the way, so stay tuned!
