" The lab boys keep telling me to stop making these prerecorded messages. That gave me an idea. Make MORE prerecorded messages! I pay the bills around here, I can do what I want!! " - Cave Johnson
Gosh, it is so, so, so, SO much fun to record YouTube videos.... but perhaps too fun! XD :-/ It seems as if my external hard drive is packed full of them.... the raw, unedited and unpublished versions of the videos! With how long it takes me to edit videos, I tend to prefer recording them over uploading them. It's just so much easier to play a game or record something and save the file for editing later than it is to actually upload it to the channel.

So... I've had to make a rather frustrating personal decision. I need to upload all these prerecorded videos first, BEFORE I upload anything else. This, unfortunately, is not a simple, nor easy job. Minimally it takes me around 2 hours to edit a video, and then at least another 5 hours to upload it, pending on my internet speed for the day. And since each one of my gaming videos is around a half hour long, and I typically record them in segments of 1 . 5 hours.... that's about 3 episodes per clip.... and I currently have clips from last fall that are still not uploaded yet!!
This basically means, no more fun recording for me for a while now. Not until all of these are edited and uploaded. That's it. Period. More work for me, more fun for you....
SO! Other than that.... this is also a way for me to notify everyone. If you hear my commentary in any future episodes of series talking about Christmas or something, and the upload date says March or so, just realize it was prerecorded and I was talking about last year! I apologize for my laziness and busyness. I have a plan for fixing this next time I record : Record a session, and upload it ASAP, without recording anything else beforehand !
Sigh... my little tangent rant is done. Time to get to it.
See you in the next post! :)
