Random Aborted Vlog A (Patreon)

About as often as every two weeks for the past 2 years, I've had times where I get an idea for a random vlog, turn on the camera, and just go, before really getting a complete idea what I'm about to talk about; and the result is an untamed ramble the likes of which the world has never seen, spiraling through random topics and tangents endlessly without seeming to get any closer to a point.

Somewhere along the line, these usually get deleted. The most common way, if they are exceptionally long like this one, is that at some point I just get sick of talking and can't really remember what my original point was, and/or something goes wrong with the camera (battery dies/out of space/overheats, as was the case here) and I just can't be asked to try and reclaim the energy to vlog after such a poor performance up to that point. Another way is that I get it into the editing bay and watch it back and it looks like shit and doesn't make sense, or maybe I even release it all the way and then realize it's shit and take it down (I think there's some vids like this in the archive). 

Whatever the case, hours and hours of footage get destroyed this way all the time (on top of the hours and hours of let's plays and podcasts that are inevitably lost to the ether from technical issues), and it's a shame because sometimes there are nuggets of interesting info or ideas in those videos which just never get brought up again.

In this case, the vlog was such a rambling clusterfuck that when the camera died, I figured I'd just toss it. However, some of the stuff I'd talked about was kind of interesting, and since I know my schedule for the next while, I know there's a chance I won't ever talk about this shit again, so I might as well put this up so people can finally know what all the mythical footage I am always talking about throwing away all the time actually looks like!
