A belated new year to you all, this is Jbizzo49.
I started uploading the first parts of my Kirby's Return to Dream Land playthrough. Incidentally, Part 1 is right here, should you wish to check it out. And I'm writing this a little bit before my second recording session of it. I'll tell you right now that this playthrough is not going to be as short as everyone thinks it's going to be because of what I plan to do with it. On the other hand, I shouldn't have to much trouble with it, so hopefully I won't get lazy with this playthough and still finish it fairly quickly.
PrometheusMFD was over at my place a few days ago and I got the chance to play some Rock Band 3 and he got to see Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Skyward Sword. We also recorded my 1000 Video Special. 3 things I'll say about it: you'll like it, it's a little over an hour in length, and it will probably be a month before it gets released considering at the time I'm writing this post, I'm uploading video #939.
Tomorrow is January 3rd which means that the Republican caucus in Iowa will finally happen. This is good, because anyone living in Iowa is well aware of the political ads on TV that run about once every 5 milliseconds. You either get active into politics, or, like PrometheusMFD, get jaded to the whole thing. But with the caucus tomorrow, we get a relief from these ads for about 3 microseconds. Seriously, this whole "Iowa having the first say" when it comes to this stuff is not all it's cracked up to be. My example up there is only a very slight exaggeration on the number of political ads here, you just get bombarded with them. You see so many of them so many times that you start to pick up on how HATEFUL the large majority of them are. This is a problem that seems to have grown at least tenfold every Presidential Election since the invention of the television. When I'm thinking who I should vote for, you should tell me why I should vote for you. This kind of ad has dissipated further and further each Presidential Election I remember. They've turned more towards "why you shouldn't vote for the other guy". And I swear about 90% of the ads this political season have been from that perspective. Another thing to note is the amount of political calls, especially if you're a registered Independent. This is an absolute joke. We live in the year 2012 and these idiots are unaware of the value of our privacy. You know, having the whole family sit down at the dinner table has become a rarer and rarer thing. So when it actually does happen, rarely does something bring a sour mood to the table than a call that interrupts family time when everyone is otherwise busy on the computer, at work, or something like that, it's absolutely frustrating. And you follow the campaigns enough, you'll soon start to realize that marketing on other products largely have the same feel. Tell me why I should buy your product, don't tell me why I shouldn't buy the other guy's product. It's the same frustrating situation both as a citizen and as a consumer, both in the ridiculous amount of both the information and negativity.
Man, that was a long-winded tirade against current situations. Just thinking about it has worn me out, so I think that will do for now, so until next time, see ya.
