Meet the new channel I'll be doing videos with....

:)

2010-08-03T03:14:00.000-07:00

Well, apparently God of War and Metal Gear Solid movies weren't enough.....so here's the extended version of "China/Japan make movies for EVERYTHING"

MEGAMAN! - One of the greatest video games of all time. I am actually going to buy this, watch this and love it, regardless of how bad it is.

Onechanbara - Remember this game? I never played it. Throw some girls in bikinis and then the one thing everyone puts in a shitty movie/book/video game to try to make it sell....zombies. Game is obviously horrible. But good enough for a Japanese movie! :D

....not just one movie. A SEQUEL! *shakes head*

HALO LEGENDS! - I'm surprised I never saw this in Canada. Good or bad, this movie would have been huge. Kind of like the Animatrix or whatever that movie was called....it's 6 or 7 short animes by different artists/directors. But....it's Halo! Every XBOX fanboy's dream!

Metal Gear Solid - Looks like it was made by the same team that made Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within. No English subtitles though, so I'll never know how bad this movie truly could be.

God of War - ....or "Nick Fury"? Who the hell is Nick Fury? It's KRATOS, DAMMIT! THE M'F'N GOD OF WAR! For some reason I have the craving to go watch "DigitilSoul's" Ask Kratos videos now!

Well....that's it for now. I'm sure I'm going to find more. Maybe I'll actually watch a few of these. Review them? I hate reviewing stuff. Now that you know these exist, try downloading them and post your reviews! Maybe I'll post them to RnGvidz for you! :D

2010-07-08T07:33:00.001-07:00

EDIT: thanks to the guys at http://www.rebelcult.com I'm able to get videos uploaded to YouTube again. So here's the official YouTube video! (In the future, I'll most likely be uploading to zshare and posting here so keep checking back to see new videos here first) So here you have it....

2010-07-01T00:38:00.000-07:00

God of War and Metal Gear movies?!?! WHA?

I have to watch these and review them....and hope there is somewhat correct English subtitles.

Hello From China

2010-06-25T00:56:00.000-07:00

Picture update! China is strange.

Best name for a club ever...."Tianjin Binhai Heaven On World Entertainment Club"

Asses everywhere.....

I fear the bathroom....

Expect more of these....and I'll figure out a place to upload video to while I'm breaking my way back into YouTube :)

-Alyx

2010-06-23T21:49:00.000-07:00

First BlogTV video update made. I'll try to do these as often as possible while I'm figuring out how to get videos up to youtube.

Hello from China! - Broadcast your self LIVE

Crazy month

2010-06-12T02:42:00.000-07:00

....and I now have SOME kind of communication with the outside world. It took me a month, but I finally found a VPN that can (kind of) break the Great Firewall of China.

So incase you haven't figured it out yet....I moved to China! I took a job here and will probably be here for at least a year. Problem is - facebook is blocked, twitter is blocked, and more importantly, youtube is blocked. Even blogger is blocked, but at least I can get on this through the VPN. (can't get on twitter or facebook even with the VPN)

I can get to facebook's login page....but can't login. I can get on youtube and post comments, but I can't upload. They keep failing. Hell, I don't even know if this will post.

So what I'll probably end up doing is emailing videos to a good friend, VirginiaAnon, and let him upload videos. Also, he might be coming to visit in July, so I could just give him a USB stick with a bunch of videos or something?

BlogTV isn't blocked, so I might start doing that more, but China being 12 hours different from EST time zone would make it at odd times.

Anyway, long story short. I'm alive. I'm in China. I'm figuring out a way to keep the youtube channel alive.....and I miss the internet.

(you know what ISN'T blocked? 4chan. I mean.....?!?!?!?!)

So.....go to My BlogTV and subscribe. I'll see if I can record some videos for that. Also, seeing as how no one actually reads this, if some people could make a video letting everyone know I'm not dead, that would be nice! And new videos are coming....I just don't know when :(

2010-04-29T06:56:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of videos! I have been crazy busy and haven't had time to record a lot. What I have recorded....is now gone....and needs to be re-recorded.

I store everything on an external hard drive. Raw HD footage is huge and my computer doesn't have the memory to handle it. Well, a couple days ago, that hard drive decided to burn out. Guess it had it's day. Unfortunately, that means ALL the old content is gone :( and stuff that still needed to be edited and uploaded is also gone.

There's lots of new ideas for both RnG TV and g33klove that I'm working on, as well as some pretty big changes overall, so I'll keep you posted! :)

The Toronto YouTube Mini-Meet was good fun. It was pretty much an excuse for me to go to Playdium....and I'm happy others were available to join.

I should have video editted and uploaded sometime this week. Once I stop being too busy and/or lazy.

Have some new ideas for RnGvidz coming up and a couple skits for my AlyxRnG personal page....soon enough.

Talk to you soon. :)

Oh, Internets.

2010-01-18T03:24:00.000-08:00

Well, my vlog channel has started to take off! Thanks to everyone who's subscribed and commented. Who would've thought a little internet commentary segment would've gained so much attention.

The story of lukeywes1234 and joshchristian100....2 parts.

Also, it was funny to logon one day and see this....

2009-12-14T18:43:00.000-08:00

Well that was an interesting week. Due to computer problems, figuring out the new camera and all it's codec issues (check out the Insignia cam review on how to fix those issues, if you buy this camera) and learning Sony Vegas from scratch....I didn't get to upload LAST weeks saturday vlog until ... Wednesday? And that was the Insignia Cam Review. Gives you a chance to see how the camera looks, some of the features and bugs and advice on how to get the best out of it.

That video got a healthy amount of views for a small channel. The same as the others. 200-400 mark. It helped a couple people out, so mission accomplished.

THEN....the Dragon Age Origins review went up. Apparently, there was a problem with my shirt, resulting in comment approval being turned on and most comments being deleted.

Anyway. Hope you enjoy the review. Even though all my "reviews" aren't really reviews at all. I don't use a rating system. I can't tell you whether you're going to enjoy the game or not. I'm not a professional here. I don't have a degree in journalism. Just one person who enjoys video games giving my opinion.

And lastly in the week of madness....this past Saturday's vlog....

Madness continued.

So, the update is in that last video. If you're looking to see what's coming up - whether it be next week or months from now, check that video out and I'll see you soon.

Dragon Age

2009-12-05T03:32:00.000-08:00

I've finally pulled myself away from Dragon Age long enough to make a couple videos of it. Unfortunately, shortly after making these videos, I turned my computer into a very expensive paperweight. Part of the powercord is lodged inside the computer....the other half was ripped out when it caught my foot. So I need a new powercord and need to get the piece stuck inside out.

Once all that is done, I'll be able to edit and upload the Dragon Age review. But to tide you over in the meantime....

I'm also going to cut the vlog to every Saturday. I'd like to have more time to focus on the main RnGvidz channel. Hopefully I'll have the computer fixed in enough time to upload a video this Saturday.....today....dammit.

2009-11-28T18:53:00.000-08:00

The weekend of videos has come to an end. Got to cover a lot of stuff in the vlog. Talked about my birthday just past on Wednesday, the Konami Code on Facebook (which is glitchy as all hell right now) and also got to show a little love for some great reviewers out there.

Both the Friday and Saturday videos are up. Hope you enjoy them. Spread the word.

See you next week :)

Busy day

2009-11-22T05:16:00.000-08:00

First off, I would like to thank Whity The Reviewer for giving us a shoutout and the nice words. A channel with over 9,000 subscriptions (over 12,000 actually) showing love for the little guy....that was beyond awesome. Check his channel for the video and for some awesome reviews and playthroughs.

With thanks, pretty much entirely given to Whity, my new vlog channel got off to a pretty amazing start. See....

Top 10 most subscribed for the week!

As thanks, I put together an extended version of our "ah &#@%" video with outtake footage from most of our videos to date.

And lastly....I uploaded the Saturday video to my vlog channel.

Vids will go up every Friday and Saturday, so check back next weekend.

Reviews and Stuff: RnGvidz
Vlog and Stuff: AlyxRnG

The Vlog begins....

2009-11-20T07:14:00.000-08:00

I said I'd be setting up the new channel. It's pretty hard to get reviews up on a regular basis. Especially when you get into a game like Dragon Age and would just rather play it than review it. In order to review it....I need to STOP PLAYING.

I do not agree with this.

So, I setup my vlog, where I'll have a chance to put videos up every Friday and Saturday....like clockwork. Or not. Like anyone is paying attention. If I miss a day, who's going to notice? :p

First video is up. Today is Friday, after all....

New Channel

2009-11-16T01:07:00.000-08:00

Hey guys. I setup a personal YouTube channel for video blogs, ranting about commenters, other reviews....just anything and everything non-review related. I'll start putting videos up really soon so go subscribe now so you don't miss anything!

2009-11-14T01:11:00.000-08:00

The Modern Warfare 2 ANTI-review video put us on the top 100 most viewed lists for today! We had more views than GlobalTV?! Thanks to everyone for your subscriptions, comments and views.

Check the post just below this one to watch the video. Glad everyone liked it!

The Modern Warfare 2 Midnight Release and ANTI-review

2009-11-13T02:18:00.001-08:00

I'm not reviewing the damn game!!! Not because I'm a PC gamer and hopping on the ban bandwagon or for any other reason other than....well....you'll see in the vid.

On the ban topic, everyone who said they were banning the game are now all over the internets crying about ping rates. Should've just stuck to your ban idea. You could be playing Dragon Age: Origins right now. Like me!

Enjoy the video. The midnight release was fun. Funny that some people waited in line longer than it took them to beat the campaign mode on Veteran. It's like going to an amusement park and waiting in line for 2 hours for a 2 minute ride.

Modern Warfare 2

2009-11-11T14:29:00.001-08:00

The MW2 "anti-review" will probably be up tonight. Stay tuned for it. You'll see what I mean by anti-review.

Also bought Dragon Age: Origins, so expect a review of that soon.

The Creepshow Interview

2009-11-08T06:26:00.000-08:00

Our interview with The Creepshow went amazing. Took a day to recover and now that it doesn't hurt to be alive....here's the video!

Check thecreepshow.org for more tour dates across Canada and Australia. They're on tour right now, so go look RIGHT NOW!

Like what you hear? "Run For Your Life" can be picked up pretty much anywhere now and you can order it on InterPunk.com

And Part 2. Or as I call it, "The Matt Pomade Show" or "The Greatest Interview Of All Time", featuring outtakes from the interview with Sarah, Ginty and McNab of The Creepshow. Enjoy....

The Creepshow @ Reverb Tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-11-06T11:12:00.000-08:00

As some of you may remember from our review of "Wet", The Creepshow was featured on the game soundtrack. Tonight, as part of their North American tour, they'll be in Toronto playing at the Reverb and we'll be there to ask them all sorts of shit especially how they got the soundtrack deal and if anyone got to touch Eliza Dushku, especially Sarah.

Check out www.thecreepshow.org for dates on the rest of the tour. Go check them out. And expect a new vid soon.

Alyx

And now....

2009-11-02T10:01:00.000-08:00
