So...

As I said before, I'm sorry for not writing in this more often. It seems like there are thousands of blogs all over the internets that have posts just like this on them.

I just haven't had that much to write about lately, pertaining to video games. I've been working a lot, but I haven't had much money lately. I just bought a new car, so that's taking a lot of my money now. Hopefully soon, "If I'm a good girl," I'll get a promotion at work, and then I'll have more money to spend on video games.

I've been spending a lot of time with someone really special. Don't want to mention any names as I don't think they would like to be mentioned on the internet, but I'm sure they'll read this. I'm definitely enjoying this time I have to spend with them!

I've also become friends with someone really cool. I talk to her pretty often, she's really funny, smart, cool and understanding. I'm very happy that I could make such a good friend! Again, I don't want to mention any names. Not sure how they would feel about that.

The other night I was trying to film a new video about how to replace the battery in a NES cart. Things were going just fine until... Well, I was using my mom's soldering tool to do the job, and right in the middle of soldering the battery back onto the clip, the tip broke. Just.. Snapped in half. It's a "Cold Heat" brand soldering tool. At first I thought it was my fault, but after more research it turns out the thing is just a piece of junk. All of this happened on camera. I might as well use the same footage when I do finish the video and the job, just to show what a piece of shit this thing really is. Whatever you do, DON'T BUY IT!! I've soldered many things over the years, I consider myself experienced with the process, so when I say that TRUST ME!

I'm not going to make another video game review video until I get some better equipment. I'm tired of pointing my camera at the TV. I need a Video Capture Device. The only problem is that I can't find a decent one for .. well, cheap. I'm going to get one soon though, I promise. This doesn't mean I'm going to stop making videos, it just means I won't be making any video game reviews. I will however finish the NES Cart video and make a few others that are video game related, but more on the history side. Something that doesn't require me to show the actual game, and if it does, it will be stock footage or *gasp* borrowed footage. We'll see how it goes.

I don't know how many people read this, if at all, but if you are, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this, and feel free to comment if you like. I really do appreciate it.

Thanks to everyone so far for all of your support! I'm going to go now, so I'll update again sooner than later.

I think you put effort and skill in reviewing games. If you can make a living by doing it, then that's even cooler.
