^SSB4 looks awesome! I don't know how people can criticize it- it's not even out yet.

I'm starting a new youtube channel because my old one is cluttered with low quality replays for critiques and I don't like the name well enough. Deva's channel was DevaLink so I made a RizenLink channel.
Here's my new channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzImTgcezo2GjH4BpzAuRfA/playlists
I'm trying to make the best channel I can with videos of soloing G rank Alatreon, game reviews, FFXII story analysis, etc. I'll post SSB4 videos too.

^Lol, yeah it's common. I figure it's a good way to learn video editing and I make analyses, guides and play games anyway so why not have a youtube channel?

I was feeling depressed yesterday but I'm doing much better today. I jogged half a mile, plus walking another half and did figure drawing (which I can't post here if you know what I mean ;)). I've got a ton of photos to sort through (4 gigs O.o) ; I'll post some pics after I do.

Founs out today the venue of my previous tournaments is closing. I found out from a co-worker today and stopped by to say hi and it was a sad sight to see. A perfectly good game cafe.... nearly empty. :(

Yeah, totally. Lots of the BIG Melee guys recently started streaming on Twitch as well.

Which makes me want to buy a new portable 720P HD Recorder...dazzle use to have numerous devices that would like hookup to your iPod and record mp4s and junk. I wonder what's out there now...since taking my monster PC with my PCI-e Black Magic Intensity isn't gonna be viable for recording Smash 4 at tourneys. Neither will the old 480i composite cable dazzles.

That's tough, man. What are you gonna do now? On a side note, I didn't even know Game Cafes were a thing.

Well, I don't run events there anymore so it's not my problem, but it was a cool place to hang and what not. Either way, I have other stuff in my life to keep me busy. I'll be ifne.

Oh ok, so no true tangible loss, but still that's gotta be sad to see.

@ Rizen Rizen Smooth. Let'sPlays seem to be where the big bucks are made now, though. But I guess those only work if you have international appeal or you team up with another person and you both are comedians who barely actually talk about the game or any related strategy (I'm looking at you, GameGrumps). Still, an option, perhaps?

I totally called that second goal. I was at work and we were watching and I told a coworker that we were gonna score on that corner kick. Also, 29 seconds in. WHAT.

'MUHRICA!!!!

TBH I don't keep up with soccer or any sport. Did the USA win? It's always nice when we win :)

I'm not planing on making money off youtube. It's more of a project to learn editing.
Also, somewhat what is said here too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfuoT3Av9Bs
(^lol) people like youtubers like "Pumkin Pie" (aka Piediepie) who pump out a ton of videos and make goofy faces get views but videos with a lot of time put into them don't get as many.
To be realistic, you (the youtuber) probably won't make money. People should plan on sharing projects or stupid cat videos (awww <3) but not think they'll make it big.

PS
Youtube is being inconsistent when loading for me; sometimes it works and others it doesn't want to load. Is anyone else getting this?

It's so incredibly nice outside these days. Tempted to just go into my neighbor's forest with a toy sword and pretend that I'm going through the Lost Woods.

I feel kind of bad, I didn't even know soccer was going on until I accidentally clicked on the Google picture thing today.

My wife and I are on vacation in the mountains of Southwest Virginia for our 3 year anniversary. The topography and foliage here do inspire a Zelda-esque sense of whimsical awe. She caught me whistling the Lost Woods theme when we were driving through the narrow wooded mountain paths. (Unfortunately it's all private property so I can't take a sword into the woods and walk around.)

There's a screeching, rubbing sound inside the walls in my apt; it's coming from the boiler room. I called maintenance and someone's going to check it out. For now it's driving me crazy! :mad:

^That's well made but effed up.

I've been walking with 10+ lbs (pounds) arm weights (about 22 lbs total), jogging and doing sit-ups on a mostly regular basis :). It's hard to lose weight but I am in pretty good shape except needing to drop a few lbs.
Damn that noise!

I'll try to get pictures posted soon. I've sorted a lot already.

/update
//damn that stupid noise!

Nice progress on the workouts, Rizen!

I've been getting back into shape slowly and slowly after a rough college finals week. Going on 3-4 mile runs every so often and hitting the weightroom (aka my basement) is definitely a good convenience.

Like I said before, so nice outside. Why play Smash when adventure is calling you out there? :awesome:

I went for a hike to escape the noise. It was fixed when I got back. Shouldn't the word 'fixed' have t 'x's? It should be pronounced 'fiesed'. :/. Anyway my problem is I get depressed and stop exercising. Then I have to get back on the wagon (in a not alcohol related use of the phrase).

I think it is. I don't know if there are any state/locality-based restrictions or regulations but a friend of mine reserved his copy a while ago.

I better reserve mine soon!

I sketched today

My scanner sucks and doesn't capture shading well :/
The reference was holding a gun on a black background. The gun was barely visible.

OMG was up guys! Its been awhile! any1 went to BestBuy to play smash4? I wish I did!!
Really like his him new dash attack its very powerful and it would be a great move to end/start combos. And I love how they made his boomerang way faster and it looks more powerful! And his awesome back flip dodge.
They took that off of Twilight princess. And everything else his same as brawl. Link is gonna be awesome! Cant wait! And hyped 4 Hyrule Warriors!

@ Heero Yuy Heero Yuy

Indeed! It was funny because when he reserved his he said they gave him a list of some of the characters that would be in the game. I asked him to read some of them to see if there were any that hadn't been released yet. It went like this.

"Well there's Little Mac... not sure-"
"Oh yeah I knew that. I think he's from punch-out or knockout or something."
"Oh, then there's MegaMan."
"Yep, knew that one."
"It says here Samus and ZSS are separate characters... as well as Zelda and Sheik."
"Yeah yeah, old news."
"Charizard."
"Yeup."
"Greninja."
"Mmm hm."
"Meta Ridley."
"......Wh-- really?"
"[silence that I can only assume was him making the troll face]...Nah, haha."

The best thing about it is that he has no idea about SmashBoards and didn't even know that there are quite a few people that really want Ridley as playable character.

Yeah there are many people in Youtube who want Ridley. Especially after that Ridley unknown scene! But he cant be a play able character. He would be way too big for smash 4. The only possible explanation is he might be a Assist Trophy or a Boss. But hey who knows. Have a great day my fellow link mainers!

^I'm doing okay.

I doubt Ridley will be a playable character but he probably will be a boss or stage hazard.

Bowser gets rescaled in many games and I'm not talking about when the plot makes him grow. (Smallest to largest) He's smallest in Mario Karts and the old NES Mario games, a little bigger in SSB4 then Brawl/Melee, probably about average in Paper Mario/New SMBros, a bit bigger in Mario 64 and 3D World, and biggest in games like Sunshine and Galaxy. His size is very inconsistent.
