"Let's Do Something Real" teaser.

This is a music video I am working on to the song "This Momentary (Skream Remix)" by Delphic. It's all for fun, and I'm learning After Effects in the process.

uhhh tumblr

So I've been using Tumblr a lot lately. It's a little better than this, I think. More casual and easier to chat. I might not use this like, anymore. So yea! Check it out.

Working hard.

I've been working really hard, focused on a lot of crap. You may be able to notice that from my latest animation "Liquid Ampora". I'm feeling a little better from the event posted in my most recent blog, and being actively working on something really helps.

Right now I have that animation done, and am also working on two music tracks. One is a remix to Around the World mixed up with One More Time both by Daft Punk. The other is a Prodigy inspired DNB track.

I am going to visit my Grandma and Dad on Saturday with my sister. Looking forward to it. From what I know, she's kept her spirits high, even after knowing of the loss of her boyfriend.

Thanks everyone for the support.

Unfortunate Events.

I don't give a fuck what religion you are, all I'm asking is for your thoughts or prayers to go out to the Holmes family.

Yesterday just before 7:00pm, as my grandmother (who I refer to as Grams) and her boyfriend were on their motorcycles with about 4 or 5 other couples all taking a trip to Indiana with the thought of having some fun in mind. During this trip, one of the motorcycles was clipped by a reckless driver. The cyclist in turn flipped the driver off, which apparently is good enough reason to turn your car and run directly into the group of motorcycles.

Doing that, my grandmother and her boyfriend were flung into the air off their motorcycles. They were both hospitalized, and put under intensive care, as well as the driver.

They were rushed to the University hospital, and Grams ended up having gotten so fucked up from the accident, she may never walk again. When they pulled her boot off, basically every bone in her foot shattered. After all that, the one thing I am thankful for is that she is alive.

The same can not be said for her boyfriend. He died shortly after the accident. She has no idea, yet. The family is going to get together and let her know, and stay with her for moral support. My dad, however, is taking this extremely harshly. A few years ago he had been in an accident which caused severe trauma to the head. Due to his condition, he's being watched over to make sure nothing happens under his severe levels of stress. I can't imagine how he feels, being as close as he was with Grams boyfriend. What I'm even more afraid of is how she'll react. They were planned to marry in the next six months, and now he's gone..

I called my Dad after talking to the church's pastor, and supported him a bit. I'd never heard him that depressed and it took every fiber of my being not to break down and cry on the phone with him. I could tell he was happy I called, at least. He told me to call him whenever I needed, and that he loved me. I plan to call him every day or two to see how he's holding up, and perhaps spend a little more time with him.

I'm sorry to have dumped this on you guys, but I really needed to vent and this seemed like an okay place to do it. The entire family is extremely torn, especially my Dad and I. We're trying everything we can to keep our spirits up, and I just pray that everything will be okay.

Rest in peace, David Woosley.

Q&A Answers 7 ft. Kilplix

Longest Q&A ever.

Woohoo tech gasms.

Well, this month I made a pretty penny and decided I really should fix my computer up a bit. One huge factor about my computer is that ever since I upgraded my CPU, it's been the laggiest crap ever. This is because my motherboard didn't support more than 4 cores of processing. I found a really neat motherboard a while back for $130 that supported 6 cores and had great reviews from gamers, so I decided to bookmark it.

Yesterday I went to order it, and to my surprise the price dropped to 80! I grabbed it so quick. I used every ounce of quickness in my body. That's not a lot, but still.

Decided to use the extra money I saved to grab a 1tb hard drive, since I'm running on about 80 gigs left with mine, and really had nothing to get rid of, plus I plan on doing a lot more recording with the new support the motherboard will give me. I'll be adding the 1tb on top of my 500gb, so that'll get me by for quite a while.

Thanks to this, I'm hoping I can Livestream a lot more. I will test it tonight by Livestreaming my Borderlands session with Austin and Jonna (We've been playing that a lot lately, since neither of them ever actually finished the game. Hopefully I stop crashing too, D:).

Going off on some more nerdgasm news, Crysis 2 had an update I've been anxious for since the game came out. Crysis 2 now supports DX11 and they also released new high resolution textures. This will make the game even more gorgeous than it already was. They have a video of it on their YouTube channel, I think. Other than that there are screenshots at http://mycrysis.com/dx11

I'm super excited to try that out when the computer parts arrive. Yes, they are arriving today, I pumped out the extra 30 bucks for overnight shipping, haha.

Austin keeps assuring me I shouldn't get my hopes too high, which is true. I don't want to expect the best computer ever and just get some small upgrade that will only help out to some extent. I can't help it, though. I always get so giddy about tech stuff, haha.

I guess some links are in order, if you guys are curious as to the parts I'm ordering.

Robot Savior OUT NOW!

So after this long I finally got around to finishing the songs and releasing the album. Of course, it's free, to a limitation. As stated before, Bandcamp allows for free downloads using a ticket count. When these tickets run out (1 ticket is used for each download), I have to charge money for the album. When the tickets are gone the album will only be $3 until I can purchase more tickets (yes, in order to allow you guys to download the album for free I have to pay). Luckily there are some awesome fans who donate every now and then and I use that money to keep the tickets up. And now, here it is.

Advert video :


Album - http://dropbox.bandcamp.com/album/robot-savior

Notes about the album -

I think out of them all, my favorite track is definitely "ReInspired". It was inspired mostly by Homestuck music and early Resident Evil games, which can show through very easily. It's definitely a turn from the normal fast paced fuckshit I normally produce (i.e. Batshit Fuckstep).

I love all the songs on this album though, none the less. I worked pretty hard on it, and I think it's a huge improvement from "Respite".

I have a huge project for my next album involving a lot of beat boxing. ;)

Hi!

I don't have a lot to say, actually. Uhhh. Hi! Let's converse. How are you?

Fuuuuuuuuuck

Tate Plays Minecraft is uploading. I really didn't wanna do this but it's by popular demand. We'll see how far I make it. xd

HURP DURP

Been a while since I posted a blog post. I've been pretty busy. I've been playing a lot of Maple Story lately, and anytime I'm not doing that I have Flash open or I'm editing a video. Sure, Maple could be considered free time, but oh well, I'm enjoy myself.

I currently play in Windia, and at this moment I am a 76 Chief Bandit. Pretty funded, thanks to fans who watch the Livestream and stalk me. I'm really appreciative to them, since they were so generous with wanting to fill my inventory, haha.

As for upcoming animations, I have a couple in mind, one being drawn and one being a Maple Story music video in celebration that BannedStory is back.

How've you guise been? :D

Terrariairirerrreiaieria.

Terraria. In the 24 hours it was out, I managed to play it for 17.9 hours (According to Steam). I'm SO addicted, and it's so fun. For those who don't know, it's a hint of Minecraft, with a hint of Castlevania.

The game opens up and what do you need to do? You need to gather materials and make a house to survive the night. We've heard that before. Cool, but later on, you build more houses and NPCs move in and inhabit them, offering different services to you! You then venture into the depths to find jewels and ore to craft new weapons and armor out of, while fighting off hoards of monsters depending on the depth.

After you're geared up it's a good time to head to a corrupted area, dive into a chasm, and start breaking open some fucked up orbs! This will either get you lucky and spawn a meteor to mine in your map, or just spawn a boss to wipe you out. Either way it's a fun ordeal.

There's tons more, and I'mma start making vidyas! The game is only $10 on Steam, just go to http://terraria.org/

My battlestation.

A few people on the Livestream wanted to know how my rig was set up, so here's a picture! I know I uploaded one a while back but this one's got some new toys.

Here's the same picture without the text.

It's a little messy under the desk but FUCK IT I DON'T CARE. I has Ramen because it's dinner time.

New bed? New bed.

Yep. I finally replaced my piece of shit 15 year old broken down, rusted spring emitting, caved in mattress. I just bought a futon from Walmart for about $130, and it was worth every penny. Just slept on it last night for the first time and I ended up sleeping for 14 hours. That's the most sleep I've gotten for a looong time. I feel great right now, woke up, gonna have some breakfast, and work out a bit. Also playing Hidden today :)

Austin just released the first of many to come Hidden Source highlights on his channel. It's hilarious, and very entertaining to watch! Hidden is also a free mod, I think I've made a blog about it before.

So yea! I'm happy today. Hope you guys are too!

Feeling alright now, I guess.

I basically spent all day yesterday in FL Studio and playing games. Finished a new song which is titled "Robot Savior", and will also name the title the same thing. An acquaintance of mine offered to do the album art so I'm waiting for that to release the song on YouTube. It's pretty sick, mostly Drum n Bass, but near the end takes an awesome trance turn. I might make an extended trance mix later on to release along with the album. Next I'll be trying my hand at some dubstep since I got some sick Skrillex massive presets from my buddy Taps.

After music is done, Austin and I decided to play some Hidden. I'm glad we got back into that game, it's pretty fun. A lot of new people are playing it too now since he released his video on the blog. I bet it'll get a lot more popular when the video is uploaded publicly, and I'm pretty excited for that. We played that for a couple hours or so but got sick of it since the servers we were playing kept crashing. I decided to try my hand in booting a server up for us to play but when I actually launch the server, the game crashes. It's a tad annoying, but hopefully I'll work my way around it so we can have a good stable fun server to our liking.

Later last night we ended up playing some Borderlands with Jonna. We'd all started the game over recently and have been playing a bit here and there together, and it's been super fun. Hopefully we'll get to do it a little more often, haha. The most fun part of the night was shooting my team mates as apparently my bullets can now heal them. I'm such a boss.

But yea, I'm gonna just keep on doing fun crap and not think about petty stuff that keeps me down. Hopefully soon I'll have what I finished of Shooting Stars up on YouTube, as well as Robot Savior.

Fucking sick of shit.

I just need to rant. Been having a bad week so far, even though it's only 3 days into it.

So yesterday was a pretty decent day up until the night. Was super excited because I had ordered a new CPU, and it was due to arrive. I finally got it, installed it, and had problems among problems getting it to function. Eventually after frustration, I got it to work. Decided hey I'll test out some games to see how this CPU will improve my experience. Oh what's that? It didn't improve at all! I mean I only upgraded from 3 to 6 cores, and got the best AMD CPU on market. Why would anything improve? Sure browsing around my computer is a little faster, and I can function a tiny bit better in flash, but when it comes down to it, I get even worse FPS than before in some games when I Livestream. It's pathetic. I was looking so forward to playing Bad Company 2 and being able to stream it and that was pretty much crushed. It's fucked up because apparently Procaster + BC2 = 100% CPU usage, but sometimes my usage will drop down to like 50 and I'll have great FPS for a while. Maybe switching stream sites will help. Justin.tv or uStream maybe.

Well, throughout the night I played some more games, and to add to the frustration I basically sucked at everything that night. All I could do properly was rage. Eventually got sick of it and decided to turn in early, fell asleep around 9pm.

This morning I wake up to my dog going insane, jumping up to the windows and barking like a maniac. I finally get up and look over my couch to see what he's barking at (My couch is beside my bed), and I see the shadow of a guy crouched down staring in my room. First thought is "Oh great, another fucking robber". I'll assume he was looking for a chance to break in, or something to break in for. Luckily my dog has a vicious bark and I guess kept him at bay. Once I woke up and told Ollie to shut up, he left. For some reason it didn't surprise me, as if I was used to it. I guess I kinda expect it all the time considering I live in a shit ghetto neighborhood.

Well, next up, I go on Maplemation and check the adsense stats. For some reason over the last couple days the hits have dropped to a ridiculous low. I decided to look more into it and found out one of my admins changed the sponsored link to a J-List sponsored link, which is a Japanese online outlet for a ton of weeaboo type products. The thing that pissed me off most about that was that the site is a half adult site. Even on the front page you see anime junk hanging out, and my website is a Maple Story animating community. Half the members are 12~14 years old, and I'd get a ton of shit if they'd maybe clicked the sponsored link and their parents saw them looking at some sort of hentai they didn't mean to click.

I have a huge feeling this isn't going to be the end of shit. Not sure how much more I can take before I fucking explode.

Edit - Also I got fucked over by Netflix and they took money out of my account when I didn't even owe shit, and got overdrafted for $50 bucks. Had to pay that, AND pay my mom extra rent because apparently paying every fucking bill isn't enough. I plan on moving out this year but at this rate I'm just digging myself into a hole.

Edit 2 - The .fla file for the Shooting Stars music video I was working on for months is now corrupt, and my screen recording program keeps crashing so I can't upload what I did finish to YouTube. This is really fucking amazing.

Close to a milestone.

Welp, I'm looking at my YouTube and it seems in a couple weeks or so I should have 25,000 subscribers. I think as a special I'm going to be playing a few online games via Livestream with the audience, as well as doing some live Q&A while playing. Does that sound pretty nice? I think it's a little cliché at this point to do a thanks video, since I don't have enough time to whip up an epic special.

MOAR MUSICS

I'm glad you guys enjoy what I'm making. I made a bandcamp as you can see me explaining in my most recent video.

Here's a dubstep remix of that first song I threw out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOk-QK6ROS8&feature=channel_video_title

Musics!

Been experimenting a ton, and finally came out with a pretty decent track!

I just kinda need to vent.

I dunno. I'm in a pretty uhg mood right now. Depression and plain built up rage just kinda needs to be let out I guess. It sucks when you can't sleep, but you really want to. All that happens is you lay in bed, stare at the wall or ceiling, and think. Usually I'm able to keep good thoughts in my head, like perhaps something that happened over the passed couple days that I'm pleased with, and so on. Tonight I just can't. I've been laying there for hours just thinking about what's wrong, and it sucks.

It's not one big specific thing, but a ton of small things that I've just kept inside for a long time. I guess I'll just pick the biggest topic I want to rage about. Family, really. My family, as hard as they try, can't think of others for the life of them. My mom is pretty alright, being that she managed to take care of me up until now, but as it may seem I am supporting her very much with paying bills and such.

As ranted about a while back, I claimed I was going to eat better and get proper exercise to become a bit more fit, and I told her that over and over, yet she still fucks me up. Being that she is the only one able to do the grocery shopping, I have no way of being there with her to slap her hand and tell her no when she ONLY GETS FUCKING JUNK FOOD. She came home supporting me once with healthy crap like fruits and low cal/low fat meals, and that was when I first brought up me wanting to better myself. After that it's the same shit, over and over. Here's the HUGE reason I've overweight at all, and that's peanut butter. My mom thinks that every meal can be a peanut butter jelly fucking sandwich, and I'm so sick of it it's unreal. Peanut butter is decent for you once a day, and at a very small amount. She buys jars upon jars of peanut butter and jelly, with loafs of bread, and claims it's only because it's what we can afford.

FUCKING MEAT PRODUCTS. Sliced assorted meats are NOT expensive, and a HELL of a lot better for you than peanut butter 3 times a day. Those sandwiches don't even fill you up! Even ramen would be a nice substitute right now, but nope. Here's her grocery list every time she goes shopping -

Peanut Butter
Jelly
Bread
Snack Cakes
Pepsi
Chips

That's my entire life's diet plan. Seriously, what the hell? If I had a way to the grocery store uhg I'd get so much better crap. Hell, my dream is to live off fruit, LOL. I love fruit more than any other food, it's amazing. I just don't understand what drives her to get that junk every single time she goes shopping. Drop the peanut butter and jelly for a pack of bologna or ham or something. It's going to end up cheaper, you can get more, and you can freaking eat it 3 times a day without getting fat as fuck.

Good news is, I get paid here tomorrow or possibly today. I'll be ordering an exercise bike and will TRY to work off most of the weight I've gained over the years. Also, don't think I'm like some sort of monstrous blob, haha. I am overweight but not THAT overweight. I just want to feel comfortable in my own body, you know?

Yea, that's about it I think. I feel better now, it's good to blow off steam, heh. Sorry to just kinda throw all of this out there, in case you actually read through all of it. :p

What a great song to wake up and listen to!

I lubs it so much. <3<3anamanaguchi

Homestuck addiction.

You know, for the longest time I put off reading Homestuck just because the beginning bored and confused the shit out of me. I finally decided to give it another shot and JESUS FUCK I'M SO ADDICTED. Read all the way to Act 5 through the last couple days and have been meeting some of the community from the forum and their fan messenger "PESTERCHUM" (which yes, is now a real messenger program used for MSPA goers), and man it's awesome.

First off, the community is amazing. I've never talked to a group of people and had all of them be so kind from the start. Also they're all generally mature and of an older age group so they're easier for me to relate to.

Second, the comic itself is so interesting after it picks up. It was pretty boring and odd at first, but that's because the story hadn't had time to develop for me yet I guess. I'll be reading more of it today, haha.

A few new uploads.

Been lazy with the blog lately, but here's a few new craps I've thrown up.

Draw with Tate 3

I've been upload a lot of videos lately. One a day, even got two up yesterday. I dunno why but I just end up going on these creativity explosion sprees every now and then, but get burnt out and don't upload for like a week. I'm fine with it, I just hope you guys are too, haha.

Wooh headset!

So, recently my headset exploded. As in, broke. The plug in ports went bad, and one of the earphones broke off. That's what $15 gets you though, I suppose.

Well I decided to replace it with a half decent headset and just got in a pair of Turtle Beach X11's! I've been told they're amazing, so I wanted to check them out for myself. Got them, played a few different games, and man is there a difference. I actually know where crap is coming from now! Haha.

Also, the mic is so clear! I thought my old one was nice but dang~

I'm pretty excited for this. Gonna get some voice acting and side animating done today. :3

Drugs

Holy crap Tate finally made a comedy!

Shooting Stars

I've been working on the music video pretty hard. I really am out of ideas for it, though. I was curious as to the thoughts of you guys, though.

Would you be upset if I released it early, unfinished? I'm worn out, and really want to get back to comedy, haha.

Notice of an awesome Stream coming up.

On March 22nd, at 12:00am, I will be Livestreaming the Crysis 2 campaign upon release. I will try to be on Skype or Ventrillo with a friend, but either way I'm expecting an awesome stream. I'm super excited for the release!

Flash Tutorial - Mouth Movements

Hidden Source

So there's a source mod Austin and I have been playing a lot lately. It's super fun, scary at times too. Basically, there are a bunch of S.W.A.T. members out to kill a creature called "The Hidden". The Hidden is supposed to kill all the S.W.A.T. members. Sure, it sounds unfair with 1 vs up to 9, but here's The Hidden's perks. The Hidden is about 90% invisible. All you can see of him is a little distortion in the view, like vapor. He also gets grenades for every 3 enemies there are. On top of all that, he has a skill called the Pig Sticker. It basically causes the enemy to explode. Purdy cool, yo!

Download it here - http://www.hidden-source.com/

All you do is download it, install it, and restart Steam. NOTICE, THOUGH. You MUST already own a source game on Steam to play it.

Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCf4n5-j_w0

So yea! Kilplix and I have been working pretty hard on a town in Minecraft! Hand crafting every building, and leveling the island to do so. We've worked a total of about a week on it, and are no where near done. What we have so far is in these videos, as a small video tour! Hope you guys enjoy.

Kilplix and I will both be uploading footage from the building, giving tours, and uploading plain funny moments.

Hrm.

I has nothing to write about, but I haven't said much lately. So, hi! How ya doin'?

Final verdict on Crysis 2?

Okay so I know I've only played the demo, which includes only 2 levels, 2 game modes, and 4 guns. I don't give a fuck, this is like my new favorite game.

I don't know what it is about it either, but Austin and I make the most amazing team. I swear when we're on the same team, we never lose.

I just woke up and loaded up to play a quick round and test higher graphics settings and came out with my best match ever.

16.0 K/D? Fuck yea.

Crysis 2 demo finally on PC!

First off, one thing I'd like to point out is that it definitely feels like it was simply ported over from the console demos, but that's fine considering it's only a demo.

Second off, regardless of the first statement, it's fun as hell. I already had it pre-ordered before the demo released (This morning at 12:00am), and I'm really glad the demo gave me some fun. I'd have been upset if it turned out to be horrible.

I've been playing it most of the morning, getting more and more used to how it works. So far my tactics include moderately going in and out of stealth to keep myself hidden, taking my time to aim, then switching into defense mode and lighting my target up. Pro tip, go out of stealth before firing. If you fire in stealth, it gives you this obnoxious flash that distorts your view, and drops your energy straight to 0. I choose to switch into defense just in case the enemy shoots back, that way I can take a few shots.

You're probably wondering where you can get the demo, and you can right here - http://www.ea.com/crysis-2

Caution, this game is VERY graphic heavy. You DO need a good computer to run it decently. In case you don't know, Crysis is the game people try to run to see how good their computer is for gaming. It's known for having the best/most intense graphics of any PC game. I'm surprised that I ran it so well, even on Livestream.

Speaking of which I just got done with a benchmarking test using Livestream and Crysis 2. I turned the graphics down to "Gamer" mode, and my resolution to 1600x900. I ended up running 60 FPS, even with Livestream. Couldn't even tell I had it running! That kinda made me happy. Expect a ton of live footage soon.

Hit me up in game for the demo if you wanna play. My username is GoldenTot!

More or less better. XD

Hopefully this will be the last of the sicky blogs. As it stands now, I'm more or less completely fine. I do have a feint sore throat, and a small cough, but that's it. Only thing I need back now is my voice. It's been shot from all the coughing! ;-;

Currently nommin' on some watermelon and thinking to play some Bad Company 2. See ya guys~

Feeling worse. x_x

Well, the cough started to clear up and all.. But now it's getting a bit worse. I hadn't eaten in 3 days, and then my mom brought Subway home last night for dinner. I can't ignore that, I love Subway. I ate about half of it and got stuffed, then about 30 minutes later it's for naught. I go into the bathroom to take a pee, then my body buckles over and the next thing I know I'm throwing my entire stomach up into the toilet. It was so odd, like.. No warning. I'd never been so dizzy and confused lol.

I'm trying my luck at a ham sandwich right now. Been drinking a ton of orange juice and water. I think orange juice has become my new favorite drink, haha.

Wish my luck on keeping this sandwich down ;_;

::Update::

Well.. The sandwich came back up, and pretty violently too. Uhg I feel horrible. Downing some medicine and more OJ, might take a nap.

Minecraft Beta 1.3

Holy poop the updates give me a raging boner.

New lighting engine for high detail smooth lighting, new items included beds. These are the only things that really came out but they're EPIC!

The game looks amazing now with the smoother lighting, rather than blocky shading. Also, the beds. When you sleep in a bed during the night time, it instantly becomes daytime (In multiplayer everyone has to be in a bed)

Might stream tonight if I stop coughing.

Slowly getting better.

Been downing cough drops, medicine, and orange juice a lot. Slept for about 48 hours in the last 3 days. My cough is starting to calm down, and the headaches aren't as frequent. I'm able to keep down food, and stay up a little longer now.

Hopefully I'll be good and ready to go, soon.

Sick as fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

If you watched last night's Livestream, you know that I'm sick. Coughing up a storm. It was pretty bad last night, but I've just woken up and it's so much worse. My throat is killing me, and I have a stuffy nose. Might not be streaming today because of it, don't want you guys to hear more sniffling than usual. ;_;

Oh MAN.

So me and Austin just got done with a 12 HOUR PLAY session of Minecraft. We're working more on the town (still unnamed), and we've gotten a few buildings done. So far the Church (Spawn area) has been finished 100%, the lighthouse 100%, the pub 100%, and Kilp's Sushi & Grill about 75%. We've also got roads and street lamps going through from each establishment. We're having such a good time with it, can't wait to show some crap to YouTube.

Anyway, I'm about to die. Sleep time!

Good night.

Streamed a good few hours of Minecraft with Austin, that's about it. Hadn't played for a while, so we started a new world. Our huge project is going to be to make a town. An entire town. We far we've gotten about half the island leveled, and a small barrier. The only house built is the one we use to stay in for the night.

Many days ahead for fun to be had. You can check it out on my Livestream channel, the streams should be listed as "minecrafttown" 1 and 2.

Now I needa get some shut eye. Night guys!

Ill as crap.

Okay so I think lately my body's trying to push the bad out of it. All at once. This post may be a little gross, but basically I just woke up and had to rush to the restroom. God knows what happened in there, but to make things even better is right when I got done, I threw up.

I mean I appreciate the thought, body, but for the love of god allow me to LIVE through your little spill. ;_;

tl;dr i feel horrid

Wooh!

Alright so things are off to a good start today.

Woke up at 8am, therefor my sleeping schedule is at a somewhat normal pace. Hoping I can keep it like that for the next week, haha. Been slowly cutting soda out of my diet. Already feeling better! My mother's going grocery shopping today, so actually eating right will take place. I've noticed over the last few weeks my appetite has dropped a ton. Like just now, I'd eaten a sandwich and I feel like I'd be fine if I didn't even finish it. I'm trying to go with that technique for when I get too hungry in between meals to just fill up on water. It works pretty well, haha. Nothing's better to me right now than some ice cold water.

On a financial note, tax returns! I let my mother claim me this year for the extra bit. She walked up to me and handed me $100 out of it, which was a surprise. My luck has it, she took it back later that night after losing her card LOL. She found it this morning, so all is well. She claims to have a "surprise" for me when she comes home today. I hate surprises, all it makes my mind do is go insane, and then the day goes by extremely slow. Hopefully I'll forget about it.

She's currently looking to buy a car. I was looking around craigslist last night, found some good deals. Only problem is that I have a hard time trusting that kind of stuff.

Oh, and another financial note for me. I've gotten "pre roll ads" enabled on my videos on YouTube now. I know a lot of you are probably like "Great, now we have to watch an annoying fucking commercial for 10 seconds before watching your amazing, completely outstanding work". Well.. Yea, basically. This is good for me, though. Being as YouTube is my job, I need to step up and try to make as much out of it as I can. This means focusing more on what the audience enjoys seeing, and trying to make the most out of ad hosting. I've read reviews that with pre roll commercial ads, a partner can make up to 230% more money. This would make things SO much better for me, because as a lot of you know, I'm neck deep in poverty. XD

One more thing. I'm going to try and do a lot more to get the word out about me. This means letting people know that simply telling a friend or two about my channel helps out more than you could imagine. If you guys could do what you can to let people know about my animations or recordings, it would mean the world to me.

That's it for today!

My sleeping scheduuuule.

It's so screwed up. It's about 10am and I'm about to lay down and pass out. I'm really starting to thing I've developed some sort of insomnia. x_x

EDIT EDIT EDIT

You know what? Nevermind. I'm going to stay up as long as I can today and fix my shit.

100 followers!

So today I gained my 100th follower. That's pretty awesome! I just wanted to say thanks, as well as for the support in the previous entry. <:

Some serious shit.

Alright so this blog will basically be me opening up to my readers.

Uhh, how to start..

Okay I'll jump right into it. I'm unhealthy. I'm not sick or anything, just.. Unhealthy. I am admittedly obese, and very out of shape. What do you expect from someone who spends their life behind a computer? Herpderp antisocial fat kids.

Well I'm not so much antisocial as I am afraid of the world. All of my friends in real life do drugs, and party. Just about everyone around here does. I tend to try and steer away from that, which ends up keeping me inside all the time. I do plan on getting a car here soon though, so I'll be out and about haha.

Okay back to the point. Obesity. I am fat, and I'm more or less done with it. Starting at this very moment I'm going to begin working toward a more healthy life. TBH something super simple triggered this. I was talking to my friend Austin, and he was talking about eating right and getting his 6 pack to show. I was actually surprised, because I'd seen pictures of him and he's buff, no joke.

Anyway, I decided, you know what? I'm going to do that too. I'm going to start eating right, and working out as much as I can (At a healthy basis, of course). The only thing that's really been standing in my way between me and doing that however, is poverty. Not a lot of people know, but I do live in some extremely harsh financial conditions. If you watch the Livestream a lot, you may notice I eat peanut butter jelly sammiches a lot. Well, that's because it's all my household ever has. It's cheap. A loaf of bread, peanut butter, and jelly. $10 a week feeds me and my mom. Well, as cheap as it may be, it's not healthy in the least bit. Especially considering on the side, it's always Pizza Hut or Burger King. Another factor is my drinking habbits. No, not alchohol. I mean soda. Literally all I drink is Pepsi. I'm dropping it. I look to my right shoulder right now, and two empty 2 liters are standing there after I sucked them down. I'll be replacing that with water.

I know you guys are probably like "Why the fuck do we care?". You don't need to care. I just feel like the only thing that could keep me motivated through this is other people knowing I'm doing it, and the fact that they're curious as to whether I'll be able to do it, or fail.

Let's go a tiny bit more in depth with the poverty. As a LOT of you know, GoldenTotProductions' youtube channel is my job. I am a YouTube partner and currently I rely on the income it brings in. YouTube partners or adsense hosts get paid any time someone views, or clicks on the hosts ad content. Partners earn a share of the income brought in by that click or view. Anyway, my mom also had 2 jobs. She works as a server at a New York themed resteraunt, and she worked a little during the week at Burger King. Burger King paid the rent right on the spot most of the time, and the main job payed most of the bills. Well, she recently lost her job at Burger King and I have to fill the cap. So now, using YouTube, I'm supporting myself as well as half of my mother's needs. I don't mind considering she's housed and taken care of me for the last 20 years, but it dents my plans.

Eating right costs a little money. A little money I don't have. Basically what I'm going to do is be more responsible with my money and every bit I don't spend on bills, will go towards a healthy diet. I'm planning fruits and vegies for about 90%, and maybe sometimes a cooked dinner with the mom. I don't know about you guys but I freaking LOVE fruits. I could eat them all day, and the beauty of it is that you can with almost no penalty to your weight loss goals.

Anyway, yea. I'm almost considering doing a video thing about it for extra motivation, but good lord I'm camera shy. LOL.

You guys are more than welcome to throw me suggestions. Work out tips for a fat kid that has no energy, food suggestions, and so on.

Sorry for the extremely long entry, I just wanted to get it off my chest. :)

Highlight of my night.

While I was posting somewhere, I had to enter a captcha image. This is what it said.

Wow!

Okay so since I released "How to play Minecraft EXTREME", things have taken a small turn for the better. It's not much but I'm excited. First off, new record on views! 2 days and it's hit 15k views. That's epic for me. Also, my subscriber count has shot up about 300 in 2 days. That's good for me considering my average per day is 20.

I'm so excited for this and it's keeping me super motivated to produce more crap even faster! Guys if you know anyone who you think would like my stuff, don't be shy to spread the word. Every subscriber means a lot.

Thanks for everything <:

So I'm thinking..

I think I wanna do something similar to asdfmovie. Just a ton of random short clips all combined into one. It seems extremely fun to do, and would basically be compiled of crap similar to Simtalk.

Simtalk is definitely not my best submission but it was extremely fun to do, short as it may be. I love doing spontaneous random skits like that.

What do you guys think? I'll come up with a title later.

**EDIT**

The title will be Colon Dee.

Twitter.

I'll be making a video telling people about it as well, but I'll go ahead and post here first since it's a bit quicker. Basically, being that I just got a new phone, I went insane downloading apps. I got the Twitter app and it's super easy to use, so I've decided I'll start using Twitter a lot. That doesn't mean I won't post on the blogs, considering I can post more detailed crap here, but Twitter is nice for quick updates, and just knowing the happenings.

So yea! You can see the Twitter widget on the right, or just go to http://twitter.com/goldentot and follow me!

Thanks. c:

Super excited happy cell phone time.

Okay so here's a little story. In my entire life I've only owned 1 cell phone, and it was one of those really awful prepaid ones you get from Walmart and it didn't even have a colored screen. Owned that for a couple months before just saying I hated it.

Well, with this month's pay I decided I want a cell phone to be able to keep in touch with my friends, actually go out, and do shit. I just got it and I'm so happy with it. I got a Sanyo ZIO from Cricket Wireless, droid and so forth. I'm loving it so far. However all my ringtones are DnB or Dubstep, so when it rings in public I'll prolly get some weird looks.

The best part is text messaging. Not the texts themselves, but when I receive a text I set it to play the Birthday Party sound from Halo Reach. It makes me so happy inside.

SO YEP. That's just me sharing my excitement.

Hey guys.

I love you.








Yep.

Beatbox much? LOL bored.

I was fiddling around, and opened Audacity and started beatboxing. I didn't use any effects besides bass boost and made this little dubstep thing for lulz. All in audacity.

Woohoo old people!

I don't know what it is, but lately I've been meeting a lot more people around my age. This is a generally awesome thing because it's nice to have people to talk to that aren't 5 years younger than me all the time. I'm not saying I dislike talking to my younger friends, but it's definitely nice talking to people I have a lot more in common with.

I dunno why though, it's like everyone I meet lately is around my age or a bit older. >:U

I wanted to throw a shoutout to my friend Sarah. She graciously gifted me Borderlands : Game of the Year Edition, which I've been wanting since it came out.

I wanted to pay her back but she won't accept, so I'm throwing her this shoutout.

Everyone check out her deviantArt page! http://straws-of-death.deviantart.com/

Thanks a bunch Sarah.

So my brother's been here for the passed few days (Since Friday), and he brought his Xbox 360. Been super addicted to some Halo Reach, my brother got me into Swat mode, which is a game mode in multiplayer, for those who don't know, where you don't have a shield, and you only use a DMR (Battle Rifle in the older Halo), and a Magnum. A good head shot is an instant kill, so if you've got good accuracy, you'll do well. It's super teamworky, so make sure you have a group of people you know you can count on if you're going through. I just started playing it, so I don't know a whole lot of people on Live yet, haha. Just been split screening with my brother.

Getting my own Xbox early February, so I'll be playing a ton. :D

Thanks!

Thanks a lot to RobDeLaMorte for donating a Minecraft gift code my way. I've given it to CD and he can now join us in the Livestream more often without having to use Pepsi's account! This helps a ton! He said he doesn't really have anything that needs a shout out, but if you did I'd totally be posting some links right here man.

Means a lot!

Oh right, he said he's looking for a bookish type shy girl with glasses or something. If you're one of those, be sure to give him your penis.

Having fun with the Minecraft update!

So, Minecraft Beta 1.2 was put in yesterday to introduce a ton of new content. One of the biggest additions was that of a water mob, which turned out to be a squid that swims around in deeper ends of the water. It's considered a normal animal so it doesn't actually attack players. These drop Ink Sacks, which can be used for another thing that was included! You can now dye wool. Ink Sacks dye it black, and you can use a ton of other stuff for 14 other colors. Needless to say, our house is quite the colorful dwelling.

Well, I Livestreamed it alongside Austin, Cody, Chrissy, and even Jonna for a little while. Check out the recording here -

Note : My net was a little buggy, and my mom likes to make me do stuff for her when I'm Livestreaming. D:

Final Fantasy XIV

So I got it yesterday, and am enjoying it! I seriously don't know what the horrible reviews are talking about. In my opinion the game is pretty fun. Graphics are good, it's got decent paced combat, and so on. I don't really have anyone to play with, though.

Just wanted to say I disagree with all the bad press about it.

Minecraft highlights from Livestream.

So if you keep up with Austin's blog (Kilplix), you know we've been playing Minecraft and Livestreaming it on my channel. We got a whopping 500 viewers yesterday! That's far passed the old record.

Well, there were a few super funny moments I wanted to get on YouTube, so I made this!

Kilplix's Comments 5

So it's been a good two months or so since I've made one of these, so I decided I would start the new years with a fun little video! This one's a bit more special than the others because Kilplix decided to co-commentate on  them! The only downside is that this was recorded over Ventrilo, so the quality difference between our voices are very different. He also said being on Windows XP, the mic he was using was a bit bad. Perhaps if he joins in again, we'll be able to work something out to increase the quality next time.

Here's the video :
