Looking back at 2009... video-wise, at least!

Okay, so right off the bat, I know this is going to be a long post (but I'll do my best to keep it short) because I want to take a look back at the past year. I think this is good for a number of reasons, but it's a secret for now (err yeah I have no idea why I'm doing this honestly). I'll do my best to cover what so far has been our best year for the site, and give justice to the videos in a somewhat laid back blog post that hopefully won't be TOO long. So, with that being said, let's take a look back on how 2009 was a spicyyy fun year for us, video-wise! (yes, I only said 'spicy' so I could justify my image choice for today...haha!)

Let's begin. 2009. Our best year yet... but really things didn't get rolling until the summer... sooo, our best half-year yet? After Rock Band Documentary at the very end of 2008, we took a long hiatus... and not by choice either, it's just the way it happened. I received a veryyyyy nice Sony HD Handycam as a high school graduation present from from my parents mid-May, and it caused me to blog with excitement! With the summer, there's a lot of people busy with different things, so we weren't able to get together until early June. From there, we created Hiatus, an appropriate name, we thought. Not the best video ever, but it was definitely a start!

The team and I (mostly me) were so excited about the new top-notch HD quality for YouTube viewing but we didn't realize how subpar the video was. It was too long, really random, and you could tell we were just showing off the camera. We were so young then, tear. After this, we spent a lot of time planning but never got anything done. This was also during the time that the site had no activity and sparked a scare of closing the site. After much thought, we decided to keep going. We jumped off the hype of the closing of the site with The End, a sort of fictional extension to real events on the site. This was again, really random, and I was really only in love with the ending of The End (ha), where I show off my editing skills... one of my favorite NB moments for sure! This took place right at the end of July, almost making a release date of August 1st because of editing problems. Then we realized that it was August and Josh and I were heading to college, and Andrew to finish his senior year.

About a week later, we did not disappoint with perhaps one of my favorite videos of the three NintendoBoy guys (really, this is one where we are all together and in scenes, so..fun, haha), Wishful Thinking. I love this video because of the various colorful different kinds of settings that took place over the three-and-a-half minute video, and I think it was a legit video. The only problem I had with it was the Rock Band Documentary reference, which was my idea actually, but Andrew was against it because some people (really, a lot actually) wouldn't get it... I wish I had taken his advice but we really didn't have any else of an idea for a replacement sketch. xD Oh well, nevertheless, it was a great video and was a perfect farewell video as we left for college just days after it was released.

Since we were all busy with school, it really hurt the site as we didn't have new content to push out, except for the occasional blog post here and there. That's why it was awesome when I planned a comeback in October with a friend who was visiting me at school. It was almost November when I released probably my favorite video to date, Hardly Working, just because of how well it was done and really the emphasis on legit comedy: ADD... but honestly I don't really act like that, HAHA. Ironically, I had to do little-to-no editing (except for the trimming the beginning/endings for when I start/stop the camera), yet this was a favorite and I've received great feedback on it! It was a sad because it was the first video I'd done without my NB team, but it spawned the idea of a "Special Guests" series where I can invite interested people to particiapte in the project and help it grow and become more successful!

Winding down to the end of the year, we got together over Thanksgiving break and filmed Facebook Fans, but many problems with editing arose and I wasn't able to release it until perhaps two weeks later, which I was unhappy about, but ah what can you do? But, it was a special video because it was our first try at pop culture, and I really like (and still do) the idea of it, so I might turn it into a series, so don't be surprised if you see a "FBF 2," etc... it's all ideas for now! Coming back to school for about a last regular week and a week of finals, we headed back home again and meet very frequently, thanks to the help of Ellie for driving the crew around as well as Josh for letting us come to his house at the most craziest times.

I had the idea to use the entire winter break to create a two-part suspense episode to end the year and we managed to do it in what I called Takeover (I ended up not liking the name... it seemed like a good idea at the time but then I was like... eh)! Yeah, it wasn't perfect, but it was a lot of fun to make, and it made me want to explore more different types of genres instead of just sketchy comedy. But don't worry, we're not getting carried away just yet. Despite it being my idea to create a two-part video, with the ending of the story in Takeover Part 2, I had reservations about how both videos might not be seen, etc... but oh well, I guess it worked out since I did received a good amount of feedback on facebook on both videos.

WELL. THERE IT IS. 2009 in a very small nutshell, and really only talking about the videos... ha. Hmm, it seems as though I made a big deal about the success of this year at the beginning of this post, but as I write it all down, it's not THAT great. HA, just kidding, that's kinda depressing. But really though, it was DEF a fun year and a great site to the further fueling of this project. We have sooo many things planned for 2010, and I'd like to make it known that not only will we be improving our films a lot in many different ways, the site is getting moved up to the top of the list. I mean, it's the most important thing or you wouldn't be reading this! It has so much potential, and I will be doing some heavy re-constructing and organizing of the site, so I will update you when things change and blah blah. A sneak peak for the site is a re-vamp of the forums. It's the best app ever and we never use it! So look out for that soon, as well as more videos! Perhaps maybe with a theme song or ending chime? Hmm. I guess you'll just have to stick around and find out!

Thanks for reading, and thank you for supporting us. We're nothing without you. :) 

All you wanted for christmas was another nintendoboy video...

Written by: Katie Marsh

Hey nintendoboy fans! I never ever thought I would be writing a blog post for nintendoboy.com (much less be in a video xD), but here I am! So, I am happy to inform you that part two to Takeover is up today! I had TONS of fun making this little set of videos with everybody, but I honestly had no idea that the making of these videos involved so much time! I mean, when you're watching nintendoboy videos, they are only three minutes long so you're probably thinking, "HAHA! What a funny nintendoboy video, I bet that took no time at all!" ... Okay, so you probably weren't thinking that at all (except for the HAHA part, right?), in fact, you probably haven't thought at all about how long it takes to film and edit a video. Well neither did I until recently! First there has to be a plan of some sort of what the video is supposed to be about. And for the first time EVER (I'm pretty sure...), someone -Jeffrey Vega- actually wrote out a rough sketch before filming *GASP*! I know, I know, it's crazy... Second, you actually have to film the scenes in the video (Who would have thought?). You would not believe how many times it takes for one scene to be filmed sometimes! Luckily, there is a lot of laughing and silliness involved when this happens, so I think everyone secretly enjoys the 117th take... As for editing, I still don't really know that much about the mechanics of it. But I do know that Jeff does ALL the editing, and that it takes hours and hours, and that he does an awesome job :) and probably doesn't get the credit he deserves here because who thinks about the editing of a video while you are watching it? Usually no one. But now perhaps you will!

Anyways, now that you know a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes, I hope you enjoy part two even more now that you know how much time, effort, and TLC goes into these videos, along with the fact that the videos are being put up on a weekly basis currently. Whether they will be in the future weeks remains a mystery! I don't know of any videos in the near future, but hopefully I am wrong and there are more ideas to be filmed during the winter break! I would love love love to be involved in more videos now that I've experienced what its like once already (Wait, twice if you include part one... wait, thrice if you include the failed Halloween video!)! All right, well, go watch the video, LOL (literally), and comment on the video (here... or on youtube... or on facebook... or on all three! The choice is yours :D). OH! And happy holidays!!!

How many takes does it take to make a video?

Written by: jinxsprinkles999

Well, so much for being consistent wiith our episodes. well as far as I know we have a two part drama coming out soon. I can tell you this there is: suspense, love, happiness, DEATH, and LIFE to the new and improved nintedoboy the series. I don't want to over dramatize it though so don't expectoo much out of this new and improved two part series. Luckily for us it did not rain for these two days and it has made things a lot easier for us. We introduced new characters that may or may not be permanently be added to our list of cast members. THE KGB!!!!!!

DUHN DUHN DAAHHH!

Amyway. We started out with the idea we were going to do only a few episodes but with that said, we will be trying our very hardest to upload every month. Maybe we can keep that promise.

Jeff: Promise? who said anything about a promise??

Nevermind I guess we will have to go back to uploading every college break. for now there should be an episode every week for you loyal fans out there so we hope to increase our activity over the next couple of weeks so hang tight and get ready for the start of a new series. The only thing we really need now is a theme song. I was really hoping we could convince the guys from Anamanaguchi to compose a song for us considering they are using a nintendo to help make their songs. I thought that was pretty cool but commissions are probably expensive, and 3 cents a day won't cut it.

Jeff: What are yout alkign about?! we don't even make 1 cent a day

okay then 1/2 a cent a day then

Jeff: OH COME ON!

Getting back to Anamanaguchi (which we hold no rights to the name or anything to do with the band Anamanaguchi just so we avoid copyright problems) we really hope that we can get some way to incorporate their musical talent in our videos. And guys from anamanaguchi if you read this please feel free to pitch in and we will support you in anyway we can. Its not like we are begging or anything

Jeff: PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!!

just ignore the peanut gallery for now. although it may seem like we have it under control I am quite sure it took us 113 takes to get the two vids right. Well thats a story for another day so enjoy our new episode:

The Magic of Editing... and Stuff

A few days ago I was about to post a blog entry about the recent adventures the project has been through. Some of this goodness included us attempting a Halloween video and planning a Black Friday video on their respective dates. You may realize now that none of those videos made it, but I would like you to know that the original guys (me, Josh, and Andrew) have gotten together a couple times during college breaks and have tried to get something done. The fact that we haven't done something since August and have tried other times for a video with no luck has placed frustration upon us, much like Joseph Gordon-Levitt over here! Sigh... Anyway. The reason why I didn't bring you that post mentioned earlier is because I brought a video that I trashed back to life! On Black Friday, we got together and planned to do a "Black Friday 2" (oh boy!), but instead we went with an idea I've had for a while, which ended up being our first crack at pop culture... facebook... haha! I was UBER excited to do this because I felt the real joke was something that every facebook user had experienced. We make fun of those "fan pages" that people can become a fan of that have the most ridiculous themes. Just one at the top of my head and that actually is in the video is the "I go slightly out of my way to step on a particularly crunchy-looking leaf." I mean, I love how people actually make these and people become fans of them... I really wanted to know every little detail about you!...right. But seriously though, some of them are legit funny and there are a few that everyone can relate to which makes the whole joke even better with little to no effort. Brilliant, huh? (:

So yes, we filmed this video at the forum in Norcross (same location as 'Wishful Thinking') and it turned out pretty well and it was SO much fun to do, and also the fact that it was a reunion of the NintendoBoy staff, was a very fun day indeed... in fact, it was so much fun, there are bloopers at the end of the video! Yay! I said it. A new video is here, but I'm sure you've figured that out by now. Ha. We had soooo many clips of the first scene, and it was VERY hard to put all the best laughs in the video and still keep it under 4 minutes... but, here it is, finally! You see reader, the reason why this took a couple weeks to come out was... well ACTUALLY, this video was never scheduled for release because of some reservations I had. The biggest problem was that the audio wasn't so great... there are some parts where the mic didn't catch some of our witty phrases and almost rendered the clip useless, and it was also VERY cold and windy that day so the loud windy windyness makes a cameo in the video... EL OH EL! Long story short of a day of editing, I discovered that my fancy pancy video software has a feature where I can legit edit the decibles of volume (should have known, yeah yeah), so I was able to change the volume of the clips even after they were filmed... I guess that's why they call it the magic of editing? Or does no one say that? Ohhh... well this is embarrassing! So anyway, please enjoy this long lost reunion of the NB-ers! (:

Nintendo Hates The Beatles!

*exhale* Well, it's been a while since I've done a rant... but there really hasn't anything to say until now. There seems to be a pattern of me complaining about Rock Band, but boy oh boy do I have some things to get off my mind! So grab a seat, as I call out Nintendo for some of the frustration I've faced with The Beatles: Rock Band, specifically regarding the Download Content (DLC). Read on to see why John Lennon looks so offended...! I have been a fan of The Beatles: Rock Band since it came out. Yeah okay, I never really actually talk about video games or Nintendo on here anymore, but heyy... does anyone really wanna hear my banter? HA. But yes, I do still play video games and stuff when I have the time, but that's once in a blue moon! ANYWAY. The Beatles. They are literally one of my all-time favorite bands. They have the best music I've ever heard. So you could imagine how ecstatic I and the other millions of other Beatles fans around the world were when this hit 9/9/09. Grabbing it at Micro Center for a crazy low $39.99 (regularly $59.99), I immediately headed over to my friend Katie Marsh's house (she's in a new video that will appear on the site soon!) and we ripped open the game and we had SO much fun. If you have played the game, we can all agree that the dreamscapes (the trippy backgrounds) are the coolest part of the game. Harmonix & Pi Studios (they specifically developed the Wii version) did a FANTASTIC job on this title, and I was VERY happy with this game and everything about it! You can ask my sister ell oh elll... when slash if I came home for the weekend I was playing that game non-stop! OKAY. So you get the point. I LOVE this game. I LOVE The Beatles. All you need is LOVE! HA. Now... here comes the part of the rant where I frown upon something that has recently come to my attention.

The Abbey Road album just hit the music store for all systems (Wii, 360, PS3) for you to download with new dreamscapes, new songs, even the Abbey Road medley! OH WAIT. The Wii version does NOT get the Abbey Road medley. Why, you ask? Read on. First, if you are unfamiliar with the Abbey Road medley, it is simply the last 9 songs on the Abbey Road album; they are all rather short, but the songs are seamlessly connected to one beautiful 16 minute listening experience - like I said, they are all individual songs, but when they are played together it is widely known as the Abbey Road medley... if you don't have this album, I definitely recommend getting it to listen to this fantastic medley! Okay, so I mentioned that this clocked in at almost 16 minutes. It looks like Nintendo has a problem with huge file sizes, so they made it impossible for Wii owners to play the medley straight-through as it was meant to be played, but instead rather they broke it up into 5 parts. That's right, 5 freaking parts. Instead of being able to play the medley straight-through, Wii owners will have to sit through 5 loading breaks to bring up the other songs in the medley. Do I even need to mention that 360 & PS3 owners will have no trouble playing this medley and be able to fully experience the abbey road album? The surprising factor is that this is not the fault of Harmonix, but of Nintendo. They have weird file restrictions and such, which is understandable considering the Wii has literally no internal memory storage, while the 360 & PS3 are always advertised as having like 120 GB systems. GAH NINTENDO. Why did you have to be different? "Nah, let's not use GB. Let's just say you have 100 blocks of memory!" What does that even mean?!

Okay. NOW, here's the kicker of this whole sha-bang. You are gonna LOVE this. Because of this wacky file size thing, we are not allowed to purchase the album in full. We have to go into the store and buy each track individually if we want the whole thing. If you are an iTunes-music-purchaser, you know that buying the whole album is cheaper than getting each track one-by-one. Yep. That's the case here. 360 & PS3 can hit the "buy full album" button and get the entire album for $17.99, medley and all. It's pretty bad for Wii owners. Ready for this? All we can do is hit each song one-by-one and end up spending $19.50. What. the. heck. So basically we are forced to pay MORE (because of not being able to buy the album but just songs) for a LESS quality product (instead of the full medley we just get the puzzle pieces of it). And what's funny is that The Beatles: Rock Band has sold the best on the Wii platform (I guess the party nature of the Wii matches the party atmosphere of rock band). In the end, we are left with angered Wii fans who just want what the 360 & PS3 owners get - we paid the same freaking price for the game, so why do we get the shaft? A call to action plan would be to lower the price because we can't get it at the buy the album price. There's literally nothing we can do about it... it's a file size problem with Nintendo, but geez, we shouldn't have to pay more because of their personal problems. As much as I want to add Abbey Road and its famous medley to my game, I refuse to do it under conditions like this. Let me re-inforce what I said earlier: We are forced to pay MORE for a LESS quality product... just because we chose Nintendo. I'd rather pay $17.99 for the full thing with the medley then $19.50 for the chopped-up lesser version. No full album ability, no medley, but hey, let's pay more money for that, just for kicks and giggles!!! *sarcasm* Thanks Nintendo. This is THE definition of unfair. :/

Getting Nothing / Everything Done

There are always two choices to everything. Or, at least two, anyway. One of them is getting nothing done... and that is no laughing matter, right Christian Bale?! (; The other one is getting everything done... and the latter is always something that should be on the horizon. Since I'm in college, and considering it's really expensive and a vital component to my future success in life, I've decided to get everything done in college. That's right people, I'm doing well right now... academically. The college I currently attend, KSU, does not have the major I want to... major in... so I'm working on kicking butt here and gaining a plethora of hours to transfer to UGA, which has one of the best journalism schools in the nation! I am on the right track, having already a lot of hours from my hard work on my AP & IB exams in high school! Also, Josh attends UGA, so if we both go there, we'd most likely try to room together, and the site may very well explode with continuous content! =] Having said that, there are things to do. Goals to reach. People to see. Places to go. (I dunno why I said all that, just kinda rolled off the tongue). Because of the busy life in college, as you all know, there hasn't been a new update or video since we all left for college in August. Although we are all used to long breaks in videos, huh? :-/ WELL ANYWAY, you know where this is going. There's a new video out! In my quest to "getting EVERYTHING done," I can't leave out my internet project... which, for the record, I enjoy very much... if only there was more time in the day... *sigh*

Sooo... here it is! It's called "Hardly Working," and it guest stars one of my good friends, Sara Endres, who visited me here at college last night, and we were like... let's make a video; that's right, this video is 100% improvised. No joke. We had no idea what we were gonna do, but Sara and I had a blast doing it!! That being said, this video is the first ever to not feature the original crew, only because we have all parted our separate ways in college for now. However it won't be the end of the other guys, as we will continue to try to make videos with Josh and the rest of the gang whenever we can! But this video is refreshingly new, and I think you guys will like it.. at least... I hope you will, haha! Consider this a short, but quick update of the site, and despite college being busy, we will do our best to serve all of our lovely fans! (:

Thank You

I don't know how simpler my blog title could be. I just want to say thank you. For everything. For continuing to support the site, as well as us on Facebook, Twitter, iTunes, YouTube, and just whateva (links on the sidebar)... thanks so much. Every couple days I receive a notification that a member has joined... which is crazy and hard to believe... but thank you.. I wish I could pump out more content for you guys... but... alas, easier said than done. :-/ I promise to write more in the blog, but as you can imagine, college has been crazy... and life has been... different.

I know it seems like I've be avoiding the site (much like Dr. House), but really, I check it everyday. I really do. I'm bummed out that nothing new has happened since August... but it's just been impossible... just like I predicted in my previous blog entry. With Josh being at UGA, Andrew and Laura finishing up high school, and me over at KSU, it's quite difficult. I do have some videos planned to be released in the next week or so, and they will be very different.. just because I have to make do with what I have. The next batch videos will not have your favorite actors.. which I'm also bummed about.. but there of course will be new people you will grow to love... and whether those people are here at Kennesaw (I've met a few possible people), or just people that will come visit me (teehee), it's all up in the air. The only thing I can promise as far as familiar people... is me. Nintendo Boy will always be here. Of course, anytime the NintendoBoy crew will be home for the weekend will make a magical video that will soon in the future be considered truly nostaglic. Which is sad, considering how many videos we've made.. which is not that many.. hahaha (hope you didn't take our subpar videos for granted *wink wink*)!

Bottom line is, videos are on the way. I miss making them so much, and this withdrawal since college started has not been fun... but gosh, we've never been able to keep a consistent batch of videos out, which I know for a fact has hurt the site a lot... wise words from Adam Terrell... people want videos on a regular basis and not a 10-minute quarterly update... very well put! I will try my best to make that happen.. but then again when a video does come out everyone freaks out! Haha, well not really. Anyway... yep. Consider this a small update, but many more to come. I've made up for lack of videos with this beautiful redesign of the site, as I hope you've noticed! :)

What do you think of it?  Also tweaks to the site here and there, but it's all a working progress. But geez, where's a blog post where I haven't said that? Sighhhh. OKAY. SO. Remember. Thanks everyone, for continuing to support a project that isn't ready to die just yet... =]

Wishes Do Come True!

Wowers! Well this had to be the quickest turn around time for a video yet! NEW RECORD! (ahh I miss Mario Party N64...) It was just last week that the site had a spark of activity... in one week, we released probably our best video to date (didn't you just love my amazing editing skills at the end?! ... and I did it with only a broom mashing on the keyboard... el oh el!), we opened up a Facebook fan page for the site, and received 30+ fans in this short time frame (not a lot.. but hey.. we're anti-social so it's a surprise!). I'm proud to say that after a week, we've received a lot of feedback (mostly thanks to the facebook page where the videos are actually there to be "liked" and commented on). And now today, a week later, I'm just as surprised as you are that we have another video... that's right... just a week later! However, there might be a catch... this could very well be the last video with the original guys. D: Why is that you ask? Well believe it or not, it's not because I'm all depressed and stuff... it's because we might not have a choice. In almost a week from now, Josh will be heading out to the University of Georgia and I'll be heading out to Kennesaw State University... while Andrew stays in Norcross for his senior year of high school! We are all heading out in two opposite directions, an hour away in each direction! Tearrr... I know.

:/ Who knows what will happen then?! Don't get us wrong... we know there is such a thing as weekends, and we will definitely try to meet up somewhere and continue making films... but the way I see it is that if we already have trouble getting together over the summer, how will we do it when we are going to be buried in books and far away from our homes? Sigh... I'm glad we were able to make this last great video (we had alotta fun!) with us three original Nintendo guys (haha), but hopefully it won't be the last!

Okayyyy... sooo, information about the video? Ugh, I hate this part.. haha... there's always so much to explain! But at the same time not really... well, so Andrew had "meet your teachers" at NHS, so since my sister is a rising freshman, I tagged along, meeting up with Andrew at the school... and from there, we actually had a little "re-union" with a few friends as a surprise to see Megan!! Yes, that Megan.. from Boredom!! She has been gone the entire summer doing mission work in Tampa, FL, and needlessly to say we missed her. She finally returned home a few days ago and her sister gathered some close buddies and we all surprised her at the Waffle House near our school! Oh, that was quite fun! =] So from there, since I was with Andrew, we decided to head back to his place to just hang out or whatevs... the time is around 11:30 AM when I txt Josh to come over so we could do a video...! And so he comes over, we get GH: World Tour & Mario Kart Wii out of our systems, we spend the next 2 hours walking around his house, making jokes, eating cold pizza and popcorn thinking of what to make of what could be our last video! After a while, we were like.. ahh screw it, let's walk to the forum (a popular shopping strip mall slash hangout nearby) and we go into Barnes & Noble, where after seeing a dozen people we knew who begged to be in the video... haha, Josh, Andrew, and I all sit down at Starbucks, get a smoothie, and start writing down some ideas! Oh, and props to Josh... we had no paper or pencil to write down so he bought an $8 notebook so we could write down ideas.. haha (we borrowed the pen from the girl at Starbucks... and by borrow, I mean beg... haha just kidding!). After a good solid 30 minutes, I finally come up with the idea to film at the fountain.. to make wishes! So we write down the opening lines to have some sort of outline and we would wing it from there (a concept that is not new to us at all). After almost 76 takes for a 3 minute video (soo many distractions when filming on location at the forum, McDonalds, and Ingles...lol), we now present you with our video that took a long day of adventurous, but good times... we had so much fun filming this, and I think it shows! =]

The Aftermath of The End

Boy oh boy, where do I even BEGIN?! I guess it's my fault for waiting so long to write a blog post about all the happenings here. Well, long story short: the site is here to stay. But I must admit... the site was really going to tank... I was not afraid to pull the plug. But then something happened: inspirational comments. I must thank you all... for commenting and telling me your thoughts, ideas... everything. You have no idea how good it made me feel. I of course can't forget the many comments I received on Facebook as well, but... these site comments you guys left me... thank you. Thank you so much, I wish I could tell you how much I really appreciate your input. (: I feel as if I was hit with a box of inspiration!! =] (yes, that was my cheesy line to re-use that animated .gif image... HA!)

Since NintendoBoy.com will be around a bit longer (September 17th, 2010... the death date at the earliest... yes, that's right.. I renewed the domain name... haha), I decided to take my site shopping! We stopped by a few stores, but things we bought were new forum games, even more progress on The Rendezvous (you can login to see the portal now), and a pre-order on new comics by Laura! Soo.. exciting things have yet to come... oh, and a new video of course, but I'll get to that soon!! Anyway, as far as the site goes, I didn't stop there. On the About Us page, I added a new section for new visitors to the site and some info on why they should continue to return to the site even if they are not Nintendo fans (cool huh?!)... but wait, there's more... much more! A big project I undertook and is basically finished is an extension of the About Us page, which is the "Amazing People" page! This page is a more updated, detailed page of everyone who has worked on the Nintendo Boy Project... so if you really, REALLY wanted to know more about us, you can now quench your thirst! I've also linked this page to every video on the site, as well as the home page! Yeah, it's that important! OH, and is that a brand new game I see?

Sooo... moving on. I feel like I have so much to say but I'm looking at ways to say it, and in the least amount of words.. I don't want to keep you here too much longer, but there are a few more items I need to address. First off, a video, which is the most important thing of this blog post... ughh, I already feel like this blog post is so unorganized... oh well, I'm already too far into it... haha. ANYWAY, a video. It's called THE END. But it's not really the end, but just a video idea that came from the whole downtime of me almost closing the site... I figure... why not seize that opportunity and just throw out a video to accompany all that craziness? Well it turns out... this may be our best video yet. Not even kidding. I am so pleased with the way it turned out, and I think you will be too! So go check that out (links below) on the site, YouTube, and now.... on Facebook! If you haven't noticed, there's a new link on the sidebar to become a fan of NintendoBoy.com, so go ahead and support the site on facebook and watch and comment on the videos there as well! Soo... I guess that's it for now...? I can't think of much else... except to enjoy the site, its new slash upcoming features, and of course the new video*...! :]

Click here to watch it on YouTube!

With so many options, you have no excuse not to watch this new video... look at the pretty banner on the blog... you can even click the link up there too! LAL. Oh, and don't forget to check out slash update your iTunes podcast.. the new video will be there soon! Anyway, if I missed anything, or you have a question, comment, or anything, as always, please feel free to leave a comment and I'll get back to you. I apologize for how choppy this blog post was... next time I won't wait so long to update so I have less to say... haha! Thanks for hanging around the site... please, enjoy your stay, and the videos... we have cookies! :3

*For some reason, the new video "The End" was flagged by YouTube's automatic Content ID System, saying that I have copyright issues, so the video, soon, may or may not be taken down slash muted... I have filed a dispute claim, and hope to have the matter resolved so your viewing pleasure is not interrupted... just wanted to give you a heads up of the hard time I'm having! D:

EDIT #1 (6:57am): The video was taken down this morning. Working on a back-up plan...

EDIT #2 (6:17pm): Well, after a long, LONG day of frustrating events, one after another, I finally gave in and went back into the editing phase, replaced the offending music, saved it in HD (another 2 hours), and then it is now uploading to YouTube as we speak... hopefully by the time you are reading this, you will have finally watched the video... I'll give you a third and (hopefully) last update when the video is up and stable?! (:

EDIT #3 (7:57pm): Welll.. about 12 hours later (exactly...lol).. the video is up. Thanks for your patience everyone... and to those just joining us... hey.. the video is up... haha!

interesting

Due to unforseen events and a petition of the fellow nintendoboy followers this site has been brought ack to life. What future awaits our brave, yet clueless, travelers in the void that is the internet. This movement has aroused my philosophical/social science project and I would be honored if you ould jion in on it. please message me on facebook (search joshua indech) and I need to send you all a survey. Jeff is in on the project too and we are getting together tomorrow morning to conference abotu the true future of this site, its followers and the videos. In spite of my lack of dedication i am ashamed to say that I am part of the group that almost NEVER went on. Now I am awakened and now I shall visit here every time I log on to facebook. This is now longer a social network, but a revolution! VIVA LA REVOLUCION (is that how you spell it?)

P.S. I REALLY need to send you all the survey electronically or personally. If youa re uncomfortanble contacting me I will have you contact Jeff and then have you send it to me on the "jinx profile on this site. jeff will idnerstand what I am talking about. It will be called the "New Era Survey" since this survey will keep this site alive. thanks
