Birthday preparations (Blog) (Patreon)

Hey guys, hope everyone's doing well. As usual thought I'd share some of the stuff I've been doing between uploads and this time I'm trying to balance the normal stuff (Spider-Man 2) with something a little different...

Anniversary:

March 4th is my channels 5th anniversary and while I can't do anything huge like a special review video (although my intention is for that to come later), I'd like to make at least SOMETHING for the occasion.

At the moment I have this loose idea in my head of a quick video to tease a couple of the project I have coming up, but sort of set them up "in universe" with a little bit of storytelling, mainly through props (if I can find/make them in time) so I can acknowledge and use them later on in the year when the time comes.

Not a huge thing, but probably what I'll focus on in the coming weeks once the Spider-Man 2 script is finished.

Speaking of which...

Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro:

I've been really struggling with writing this one for some reason. I actually finished the game a week prior to the first Spider-Man video airing and had a script almost finished at the time but... there's just something about it I've not been happy with.

This version of the script seemed to drag on for way too long given I wanted this one to be the same length, or even shorter than the video for the first game as there isn't too much to be said. I had an elaborate intro planned but in hindsight I think it'd work out better in a later video if I ever get around to doing more Spider-Man games in the future so I've scrapped that too and ended up with a sort of abridged, trimmed down version of what I had.

I've basically spent the last week trying to tidy it up so it sounds more like a script that hasn't been torn apart by the seams :')

Other stuff:

It's getting there as I've nearly finished but yeah, just not been feeling it this time for some reason, so I've taken time out to just chill out and focus on playing some other games to keep me from going stir crazy thinking about it all the time.

Those games have been mainly been Rise of the Tomb Raider and Far Cry 5 if anyone was wondering! No plans to make videos on them, just ones I've had sat here and wanted to play for a while!

Hopefully I'll have this script finished and perhaps make the voice over for it this week, while trying to flesh out this idea I had for the anniversary video.

Until then, thanks for your patience with this one.
