Everyone Ban Marineland

Looking Back at Big Babies

Recently decided to capture and upload the full version of Big Babies that was cobbled together in 2004, and I found it holds up better than I had expected and better than I had heard. The opening prologue discussion has an energy to it, although I did get a tweet from The Projection Booth asking, "does anything every happen in this?" which is a trade-off of front-loading some character development. The main body of the short may not allow the characters to be as accessible. I will eventually continue my plan to record a commentary track which I'm sure will set the world on fire. Funny how remarkably few views a new video an get. I have heard of algorithm working against a video, but I may have to explore that - a subject of zero interest, except that it would be nice to disprove the theory that someone has hacked my account and is reducing exposure to it. As for the subject matter of Big Babies, I don't carry it around so much. What I like is the glibness and whimsy of it, whether or not I would approach the same taboo type of topic again.

Top Tier on Tour - Joe's Mancade Review [HD]

It is interesting to see the passion for nostalgia over video games and the

fandom trappings.  If I had more disposable income, I might - might - have

more stuff to curate. But this is kind of blog-worthy.  Kind of too bad it

is hand-held and a little shaky.  Joe seems to know what he's talking about.
