General update.

Nope, nothing new to report really.
Just ramblings.

I've been working on stuff.
I've got a thing that has taken up a fair amount of time, but that will have to be fully completed before I blog about it.
You can catch some glimpses of it on my instgram as always!

Other than that I've been doing some painting, which you can check out on The Underhive Hero.
The most recent project is my Escher Gang for Necromunda, so go check that out.


I've been spending a fair whack of time on Twitch too.
I'm up to 8 followers, which is cool!
I'm still giving away a digital copy of the first Starbomb album, so if you're interested on that, or just want to support the various thing i do, then follow me on there :3


I'm attending my third Smash Bros tournament on 18/05/2016!
I'm still crashing our very early in the competition, but such is life when you want to main Jigglypuff in a world full of Fox and Falco mains.
I did improve on my HawxX Nest performance, by actually advancing in the knockout round!
Bu tit's not enough, so more games to be played in preparation for that!


Next weekend is Slam Dunk, and the week after that is the Uk Games Expo, which I'm looking forward to immensely.


That's pretty much me summed up to be honest.
So, yeah, until next time...
Peace.

64. Race slowed to a Quest. Hearthstone: Quest for Legendary part 4.

So, originally my Hearthstone series was going to be a 'Race to Legendary' akin to KSI's race to division 1 back in his glory days.

It was clear very quickly that this race was going to be a slow one, and thus I've changed to concept of the series to 'Quest for Legendary'

The idea is to improve my skills, card knowledge and collection in order to one day achieve Legendary rank.

If you want to check out the series then head to my YouTube channel, alternatively you can watch the 'Quest for Legendary' playlist here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebew1lmSKI8&index=5&list=PLL2lqqSd8VEJqbXWQ--kKjAjRLUk8ysJ-



That's all for now.
I've got some more interesting projects lined up for the near future, so keep you eyes peeled to my Instagram for your first point of contact.

Until the next time.

63. Hearthstone: Race to Legendary. Ranked season 2/2016 Highlights pt 3

More YouTube stuff.




I think I'm going to shorten the clips of games to fit more in each video.
One game per video isn't enough to cover a whole season haha.

Ahh well.
Back to working on 1 billion different projects at once!

Hopefully there will be a lot more of these in the foreseeable future, so stay tuned if Hearthstone is your thing!
Like and subscribe and all that :D

61. Twitch > YouTube

So after talking about creating a Twitch channel in my last post I decided to go ahead and edit the footage so I could upload it to my YouTube channel (which as it turns out is quite the feat haha).

So after hours of Googling and tinkering...



Yup.....11 minutes.

Ah well.
Hopefully there will be more to come, but damn it is time consuming.
If I can get my streams to record a little bit better in terms of quality, then I'll probably just upload them straight up.

Anyway. Enjoy.

And follow me on Twitch and Twitter!


Peace!

60. Internet game!

So this post with be a bit more diary entry than usual.

I'm on holiday from work so thought it was high time I did some of the things I've been wanting to, and meaning to do, for months now.

One of which was start blogging again.
Not only as a means of expression, but to motivate me to get things done.

This is especially true of The Cardboard Cartographer.
I'd built up a little corner of the internet for it, and then shamefully let it rot...
I totally needed the break, so it's not something I'm going to hate myself for... I just wish I had more time, resources and hands to do these things.
I've tried enlisting folk to help out, but it never sticks, which is a shame.
The new one issue a month work schedule should ease the load on this one, and I hope I can get it up and running again sooner rather than later!


Another thing I've wanted to do for a long, long time is Youtube and the like.
I spent a great deal of time researching how to record and edit video and audio so I could do this stuff.

Yet I never got round to actually doing anything
Something has always held me back.

Fear

Fear of not being entertaining enough on my own.
I had originally intended to do this with someone else, but they bailed on me when we were all set to go.

We I'd spent a good while working on various assets for the show, but we never got started.


I still really want to do this kind of stuff, and have friends who want to do it too.
But only I seem to be willing to put the hours in to actually research, set up, do admin, organise and actually record, edit and post anything.
So as a result nothing has really happened.

I did set up my own channel, which I've posted about before.
But that fear of not being good enough on my own has stopped me from doing anything.

Still, at least I've got my own stuff set up for it.




I've had enough of that fear though.
I want to push forward, and if people come with me, awesome, and if they don't, that's okay too.

So, here I am, working on several thousand projects at once and trying to have the energy to fight of the apathy that comes form being overwhelmed.
To this end I've tried to reinvigorate myself by starting with something that takes a little less maintenance and set up, and that is Twitch.

I finally got my head round Twitch and OBS thanks to a little help from my friend Shamus and some googling.
I got to re use all my YouTube assets and artwork, so it almost looks like a real thing!
There is some tweaking to be done for sure, but I'm working on it.

I'll be giving streaming a go once I've worked out said kinks, even if it is only a hobby stream where I sit and build & paint models for an hour.
I mean, I'd be doing that anyway, so why not share it, right?

Anyway, that's all for now.
Links to all the new stuff will be added to the side bars, or you can head to my Twitch profile by clicking here!
