Hey everyone,

So for those of you who saw my Twitter or my YouTube Stories feed the other day, I had a near miss with a scammer trying to hijack my PC and related accounts. It was a pretty convincing one but I'll admit I should have bene more careful. Lucky for me I unpacked the file wrong so the program didn't run, but I scrambled all my passwords, reinstalled my OS to purge anything that might have gotten on my computer, and double checked that all my accounts had 2FA anyway just to be safe.

A side effect of this was that while I managed to salvage my scripts, audio recordings, and the majority of my video footage, something that did get wiped was my Darkwood save file and I hadn't yet gotten all the footage I needed.  This is especially bad as some of you know that Darkwood is one of the longest horror games out there thanks to how it does certain mechanics and I'm already a couple weeks behind on... well, everything; it's been a rough couple of months

My solution for now is to edit as far along as I can with the footage that I have (about the first third of the game or so) and then leave the video unfinished until later in the year. Once I get to the point where I'd need more relevant footage to finish the video, which would require restarting the entire game on top of playing the relevant footage I need, I'm just going to leave it unfinished and move onto the next video. If I catch up and even get ahead, I'm gong to go back, replay Darkwood, and capture all the footage I need to do the video as best I can. If I don't get ahead I'll just have to finish the video with what footage I already have. I might even more around the order of the video that go live if means that I'll have more time to properly do Darkwood's video.


On the bright side, both the April Fool's videos are going pretty well and I might even have a special guest for one of them. I haven't yet started on the video about The Forest, however I know exactly what I'm going to do with that video so I don't think that one will be too bad. I might even have a spur of the moment type video this weekend depending on how much coffee I can drink

See ya'll next week!

That's rough. I agree, putting off Darkwood for now is a good idea. Not sure if editing up what you have is the best idea, as you might end up re-editting it all when you get the rest of your footage later. Might end up doing the work twice if that happens. Feel free to ignore me, as I don't know your process. Go with what you think is best

They way I'm doing it now is that I'm editing as usual, however whenever I come to a point where I need something that I done have, I leave a marker there describing what clip I need and then intentionally leave that part of the timeline blank. So far this seems to be working but time will tell if it was a good idea or not
