Johto Collaborations

Something I realised as I was planning the next 200 episodes of PokéSins was that I will eventually catch up to Johto on the main series. I have some ideas of what I'll do when that happens (I'll get your thoughts closer to the time), but something else that occurred to me is that these episodes will be the normal ones for the general public.

So I will have to include some collaboratio...

PokéSins Johto Ep5 Recorded

Due to my new regime, I have scripted, recorded and edited the audio for this month's Unreleased Episode.

Assuming there are no catastrophic problems between now and then, it should be on track for release on the 10th.

PokéSins Ep36 Early Access

Here you go- Oh. It's been flagged and blocked worldwide.

Disputed. Viewable. No income.

That sort of thing just makes me value you and your immense generosity all the more. Thank you for supporting me and making this series viable.

Anyway, here's the EA link. Public release tomorrow.

PokéSins Ep36 Rendered

I should have updated last night, but by the time I realised that, I had already shut down my computer and got into bed...so...

But yes. Ep36 is rendered and will be up for EA as soon as it's uploaded.

I have also finally resolved to get ahead of my PokéSins uploads by adding another column to my video schedule; I will do part of an episode every day. By sticking to that, I should...

PokéSins Ep36 Recorded

If you follow me on Twitter, you'll probably know what's been happening with this one. Just in case, I'll outline it here.

I do all my video work on my desktop, but it didn't until recently have Office on it. Because of that, I did all my scripting (as well as other non-video writing) on my laptop. That laptop has been getting slower and slower for months.

As I went away last weeke...

Thank you so much for the support this month!

PokéSins Johto Ep4

As promised, Unreleased Ep4 is out today. It would have been out last night, but I still needed to watch through it and I was running late to my birthday celebrations. I'm sure you can understand me leaving it til today to check.

I was surprised by the length of this one, but I guess there were bound to be some like this.

All people with confirmed payments for this month have been ...

PokéSins Ep35 Early Access

Here you go. No flag as yet, which is good.

Just note that for the next 20+ minutes, the Prison Architect link at the end won't work because that video isn't public until 17:30 GMT.

PokéSins Ep35 - Update Rendered

Okay... I admit. I'm not great at remembering to update you guys on progress. This is because I have REALLY erratic work hours, so it's difficult for me to 'call it' at the end of the work day.

This one, however, is mostly because I got distracted by the end of the world *cough*Fallout4*cough* and went straight from finishing the video into playing that.

The video was done too late...

Unreleased Access x3

Helllllo and thank you for supporting me for another month.

All of you should already have access to the 3 Johto PokéSins already out. No one has come to me regarding it recently, but I thought I'd ask to double check that you all have what you pay for.

Any problems, message me on here or my business email address: 2015-11-07 15:43:41 +0000 UTC View Post

PokéSins Ep35 Update - Scripted

As those of you who follow me on Twitter may have guessed, I finished scripting Ep35.

 This one took me longer than normal because there were just so many suggestions. Maybe not more than normal, but it felt like there were. I ended using a good few, but a lot were repeats of each other or what I already had.

I hope to do a lot more work on this Ep tomorrow...maybe even doing some...

PokéSins Ep34 Early Access

Bit later than I planned, but my cat hurt one of his paws so I panicked over that for a bit and then I had dinner and forgot I hadn't given you guys this link.

Ep 34. Public release tomorrow. Already flagged. Yay for that.

PokéSins Ep34 Update - Editing

Just thought I'd post an update so people don't get worried.

I've been working very hard on this episode today, but it's taking so much longer than I expected. Just...so many little bits.

I just spent 30 minues doing HALF of the captions. SO glad people convinced me to keep THEM in... Nah, they do help people, so I'll keep doing them, but these are such faff.

Little behind th...

PokéSins Ep34 Update - Audio Edited

Right. Back to work on the series now that Origins is done for now.

After scripting/recording this prior to doing Origins 3, I've now gone back and edited the audio for Ep34.

I don't mind admitting that I wasn't sure how one part of it would turn out...it was a bit different. But I think it works perfectly. Made ME laugh, at least.

I'll continue working on it over the next fe...

PokéSins Ep34 Recorded

Forgot to update about this yesterday, but it's the same as today.

I finished scripting Ep34 and...yeah... Those of you who know which episode this is will probably have some idea of my opinion on it...

Didn't use that many suggestions this episode as a lot of the non-priority ones were stuff I'd already included. A lot of the rest were the same as other people had posted as most p...

PokéSins Johto Ep3: A Sappy Ending

I know this one was a very long time coming and I cannot express how grateful I am for all of your patience.

It's here and I give you my promise that the next one will be out on time in a month.

Now I have to go finish scripting Ep34, record it, finish scripting Origins 3, record it, edit it, caption it and upload it.

But I can do most of that in the coming days.

I ...

Feedback: Best/Worst Jokes

I'd love to get some discussions going on this feed as it's an easy way for me to interact with fans that I know are loyal and dedicated.

To kick us off, why don't you tell me your favourite and least favourite jokes that I've made in PokéSins episodes.

We can talk about them and hopefully improve future episodes.

Unreleased PokéSins Ep3 Prepped

First off, I want to thank you all again for your patience on this.

Also I would have done an update last night, but I felt so lousy then and this morning that I could barely get out of bed. Feeling better now and have been working hard.

I don't remember saying when I finished scripting this one, but I did. It was really awkward in that way things can be when you keep having to come ba...

PokéSins Ep33: The Flame Pokémon-athon!

Which will win? Plusles or Minun?

MEFP Update

The 'missed episode forgiveness plan', or MEFP, was supposed to come out on Tuesday. I didn't have nearly enough time and I'm still working on it now.

Anyway, it's sort of vaguely kind of the end of the day even though I'm still working and will continue to for some time. Nonetheless, I'm going to do this compound update and see how it feels.

Ready for a big bomb that you guys have...

PokéSins Ep32: The Ninja Poké-Showdown

Like a shuriken to the heart.

Update Preferences

Getting a couple more patrons, so I thought I'd ask you guys something I've been wondering for a while.

As no doubt some of you will have noticed, I tend to make the episodes in bursts... In the space of a day or two, they usually go from script to render. This can mean there are several update posts in quick succession. What I'm wondering is whether you guys like that or would prefer them a...

PokéSins Ep32 Early Access

Here it is. After 3 renders (the third of which took almost an hour), it's finally here.

Note: I am aware that there is a lot of visual glitches. The reason for these is I edit it in one format (so it doesn't lag and thus annoy me to hell) and then swap in a higher resolution format for the final version. Downside seems to be that it reduces the clarity of the final version.

As I c...

PokéSins Ep32 Render MK3

I am now rendering Ep32 for the third time as the first time I forgot to switch out the source material and the second I noticed a mistake in the audio.

When this has rendered (and I've watched through to ensure quality), it'll be going up for EA.

Public release as planned, tomorrow around 17:30GMT.

PokéSins Ep32 Prepped

Okay. Back on track. It's all prepped, again using my method where I swap out the footage for a lower res one during editing. Saves on a lot of restarts and lag.

PokéSins Ep32 Scripted/Recorded

Right. Cutting it a tad close, but still. Ep32 is recorded and I'll be editing the audio soon. Got a bit more PokéSins writing to do today. Then tomorrow will be just...ALL the editing.

Should get an Early Access...can I just call it EA..?

Should get an EA link tomorrow for 32. And then there's the whole 'making up for missing the last one' thing. That'll be the day after.

Unreleased PokéSins Ep3 Scripted

This was going to say 'Scripted and Recorded', but I'm not 100% about the quality of the recording.

I've recently bought a new free-standing mic - the latest in a long line and also an incredibly high rated one - and the quality still doesn't compare to a headset mic I bought 3 years ago.

I'm beginning to get very pissed off at this because the headset is falling apart and I can...
