Oh, studying

Essays and midterms galore!

Yes, there's a reason for my recent silence aside from incredible laziness. Essays, essays, essay. And still two more due before the end of this month! It's going to be a busy little while, I suspect. I admit it's somewhat difficult to write even when I find the time; not for lack of topics of course, but a form of mental exhaustion. There is some work put into formulating even something as casual as this blog. It's not significant usually, but several dozen pages deep into essays exasperated things quite pointedly. 

Regardless, I am here now; ideas must be spoken of. Videos have returned to the table for our little group, diminished in numbers though it may be. We've done absolutely nothing so far and may very well fail at doing things again, but I still take heart in this. The idea of producing our own little Internet channel has caught on, and even if we don't excel at it the notion wont die. It means that we'll keep trying, and that's incredibly heartening. 

We will give it another go and see what happens. The hope this time is to find a proper way to record from the television to make better let's plays. We find some of our best games are on consoles, and they're certainly easier to play as a group with how the room is laid out. I suppose our hopes lie on Trevor and myself to sort out the technical difficulties. It'd be nice to get a series or two rolling, I could easily see us putting the content together. 

I suspect we would have already succeeded at this had we actually moved in to an apartment as a group, it was a half formed plan a while ago. The lack of time to do things holds us back. It's irritating to think that we need to give up what time we have to hang out to do work, so the editing the videos slows down and ideas slowly disappear. A bizarre cluster of schedules wouldn't hold us back if we all hung out in the same house. Ah well, that's just a faint thought for the future at some point. We'll see how this attempt goes.
