Layout is a Renew and Some Random Things.

As you can see, I redid the layout for this and I chose this template because I felt like it. It looks pretty cool and I enjoy it's look. I'm not big on warm colors for webpages, but this is fine.

Well, 2010 has been a bit interesting so far. A few things happened here and there. I got a few cool games, my PC's fan died, and I was hosting a donation stream. Oh, and I worked, worked, and worked.

My PC is still in the shop and it is a sad thing. My Yu-Gi-Oh month was cancelled rather early due to it. Even when I recieved my Dazzle for my MAC, I can't record anything due to the sound crackling and hurting ones ears. I can't even fix that editing to the sound. ><" It isn't cool, man!

I've also been watching since the middle of January is Detective Conan/Cased Closed. I'm so addicted to it. I actually like the dubbed version to the anime. Jerry Jewell pulled off a nice Kudo. Besides, I like his voice. It's wierd to say that, but I really enjoy listening to him talk. I like all the voice actors in it too. It is also easier for me to follow the anime dubbed. I realize that I understand it a bit better by listening to it, rather than reading it. Sad, but true you lovely weeaboo's reading this. ^_~ Not all anime is perfect in sub format. Look at YuYu Hakusho, Comic Party, and a few others. So, TAKE THAT!!

I have been playing some games too. I got Phantom Brave and I played a bit of it. It is just like Playstation version, but it could have a twist. Who knows. I also purchased COUGHCOUGHBAKUGANCOUGHCOUGH. The Wiiware had a few intersting games I wanted to try/have recently that I noticed. I had the Wii Points and so I got the Phoienx Wright game as well as the Bubble Bobble game. The Bubble Bobble game for the WiiWare is a bit....challenging. It's very sensitive for you making bubbles near and around the walls. It's unforgiving, but I managed to beat the game on NORMAL! I'm afraid to see the harder onces. >>''

The donation stream for the NAA that went on this past weekend was successful. We didn't read our goal of $500.00 like we wanted, but, we got close. But, we had a blast! We played games, created new memes, humilated ourselves and got embarrased when our parents came into play....ESPECIALLY mine. -_-'' What's worse is that it is on recording too on YT. ><"

Besides the computer issues and the Nor'Easter snow storms that we've been having, I'm VERY excited about this new year.

THe games coming out are actually interesting me to the point of RESERVING them, or wanting to reserve them. I all ready reserved Pokemon HeartGold and Lunar: Silver Star Harmony. I've been waiting for these games, even though I can't play the Lunar one. I had to get rid of my PSP due to the battery dying. I got trade credit for all the PSP items and got Star Ocean for the Xbox360 and Eternal Sonata for the 360.

It's been an interesting year so far, and I hope that it all goes well this year!! WE NEED A GOOD YEAR, DAMNIT!!

Learning Japanese, Setbacks.

Well, for the past two weeks, I have been teaching myself Japanese again. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with it. I remembered about 95% of the Hiragana and about 75 to 80% of the Katakana. I think after that, I should learn some vocabulary and THEN move to the sentence structure and particles and whatnot. I didn't realize about how hard making sentences were until I attempted to a while back.

I purchased the Japanese Learning game for the DS a LONG while back, and it is helping me out SOOOO much. The lessons are nice and the games actually DO improve on your vocab, brush strokes, and memorization. So far I have learned to count in japanese, even though it is a biiit hard to memorize with 11 and on.., colors, a few vocab words, Hiragana, Katakana, and simple basic sentence structures. I stopped after Chapter 29 (which I call the beginning of chapter 2), and I have been playing the games to relearn the vocab and the Hiragana and Katakana. It just stinks that I lost one of my books I used for studying syllables and it had nice reference sheets at the end. I have a Kanji book (which I look through and learn a Kanji symbol here and there) and a Hiragana/Katakana book. They are helpful, but I love that one book the most. It is actually on Amazon for under 10 dollars. If I can't find it, and I have the money in a few months, I might repurchase it. It is a great book.

I made flash cards a while back, and I found a set based on the months...and man are they semi hard. But I also found a few good sites to look up AS WELL as Youtube channels to aide me JUUUST a bit on memorization and such. It is an interesting thing, learning a language. I know it is easier to learn at a young age, and be being 25 and all, but I'm sure that I can handle it with time. I do get frustrated at times, but it pays off when I am actually starting to memorize these things. It makes me a happy panda.

I have been working on a few things lately, drawings and videos and such as well, but alas, I cannot record audio until I get a new headset. It is strange that it doesn't work. Like, it was fine the night before it broke. I hung it up as per usual, and now poof! I realized it broke when I "recorded" a part of Grandia like...5 times. The commentary wasn't too grand and such. But then I had a decent recording, but I noticed that there weren't any sound waves on the finished recording. I plugged it into my MAC and seen if it was broke and not the PC being stupid again, but it is indeed broken -_-'' Weird how things happen when you CAN do things, but it comes back to bite ya in the butt.

I also seemed to have erased things I shouldn't have when I was attempting to clean out my computer all last week due to it not recording right with the Dazzle, and the computer crashed and met the blue screen of death QUIIITE a few times. I scanned it, defragged it, and I deleted things I don't use too much anymore. Well, it still acted up. I'm not understanding what is going on, but I'm not liking it. This computer is about...a year and a couple months old, so it shouldn't be an issue. I've been taking good care of it too.

But I guess things happen. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I hope the best for this new year since this year as been Hell...utter Hell...

Update for the Next Few Months

I have a few things that I wish to accomplish for the next two months. Here is how I HOPE that it will go:

November: Attempt to finish off Zoids vs. III and do the last episode of Zoids Battle Legends.

December: Attempt to finish up Pokemon Ruby and maybe show off some bonuses from FMA2 that I'm trying to get.

January: Going to work on LUNAR Silver Star Story for the month and record with KZX (GoddammitJoel) for some Pocky and Rocky Co-Oppage

Febuary: Upload any videos I have around since I'm going to take a break this month and do recordings for myself.

March: More Lunar and Starting up Grandia I and will end Lunar HOPEFULLY before May.

May: IF LUNAR is finished before then as well as Grandia, I will do Pokemon Yellow.


This may not go as I planned as above considering you have to add in Digimon Casual and me recording with Dan and Ed for our Demented series and the Demented Let's Plays we are doing. I won't post them until we COMPLETELY FINISH THEM. Demented Series will be up as soon as we record more.

That pretty much is it. I don't know when I will stream since I want time to myself now. I'll just record as much as I can so I can take breaks for myself every so often. So I may post up vids after recording them like MONTHS in advanced at the time of the posting. I would love to have time to myself since I am working on a webcomic for January. If not, I will just work on the story and then, turn it into the webcomic. It will be a Pokemanz comic. I'm going to work on my REAL comic when I get the hang of making manga. I need experience.

If anything comes up like personal issues, or family issues, then it will effect the schedule above. I'm actually expecting that since things haven't been going well over on my end. So...yeah. Either I take my break in January, or in February. We will soon see.

My next stream won't be for a while....I might make it sometime after the holidays. Also, I won't be joining the next few donation streams that our team has been doing on Ustream, so I apologize in advanced. I just would like time to myself like I said X3. I love recording and stuffs, so we will see how things go.

I hope to talk to you guys later. Take care!

Donation Stream Saturday October 17th, 2009 for JDRF

Well, the idea started with me being financially poor and me making horrible racial jokes and then it went to me rambling on about the JDRF walk I'll be going to on Sunday,October 18th. My mom was talking about finding other means of getting money to donate and not have it be just me. We are getting my work, Pharmakon Inc. , in on it as well as my other friends and family. It sounded like an aweseome idea and we are all donating to a great cause. I got to thinking, this is a great opportunity to do a quick little one day donation stream for this cause to get you guys in on this. It will be fun and entertaining (hopefully), and I think it will be awesome.

However, this stream won't be an awesome success without you, the people that are to BE entertained. I have been thinking for a bit, (things might change by the time I get home from work), and have devised a plan for this to be an awesome success.

Now, before I get into anything BIG, I would like to talk about what is the JDRF. For those you do not know, JDRF is the Juvenille Diabetes Research Foundation. They are researching to find the cure for Type 1 Diabetes, since most children with a family history of the disease, have this type. With the Walks that they do every year, they get one step closer to finding the cure with support from great sponsers and just your average joe. Lots of people attend these walks, for the child that they lost to this disease, for the kids they have alive and fighting it, or just people that care about the children and do anything to keep the smiles on their faces.

Well, My family have been donating to this for many years since our family has a family history of diabetes in the family (my aunt has it and a few others in my family do, and even I myself might have it). We've been dontating to this cause, as well as the company I work at.

Now, I wish to have others that are WILLING and ABLE to donate, they can. This isn't a forced donation, but it is VERY appreciated for you guys to vote. I'll even throw in a deal during this.

This is where I will talk about how the stream works. Also, I will talk about the nifty swag you get from the JDRF when you donate 100.00. Since this JDRF Walk required sponsers, it is very EASY to acquire the $100.00 to recieve a t-shirt from them. So, you can walk up there and donate to the point where the whole family/company/group can have a t-shirt to proudly say that they made that step forward. So, if you, the individual, donate $100.00 regarding sponsers and family, I will personally mail you (I'll provide the shipping costs, so dun worry about it) a JDRF t-shirt. So, if you donate say, $400.00, you can acquire 4 t-shirts. It is that simple!

Now, for those that are saying "There is no way in Hell I'll make that much!" Well, here is YOUR chance to make the stream a bit better for you personally.

I will be streaming ALL DAY Saturday until like...midnight-ish or a bit earlier than that (Since I AM doing the walk the next day), so, below this paragraph I will have a donation price and what you can do to ake this interesting for the stream..

THE BIGGER THE DONATION, THE BETTER THE SCHTUFF! Read on!:

$0.00 = If you cannot donate oncesoever, you can go and make my video talking about this a featured video on your channel. I will be sure to give you a shoutout. Just PM me on YT and I'll make sure that you have indeed done this.

$5.00 = a half hour of me playing ANY game you would like to watch me play horribly or great.**

$10.00 = an hour of me playing any game you so want me to play! **

$15.00 = a Youtube/UStream Layout **YT IS BETA LAYOUT ONLY!**

$25.00 = 1 doodle with one character OR
singing a song OR
another hour of gaming**

$50.00 = 1 doodle with 2 characters OR
2 doodles with one character each OR
1 1/2 hours of gaming**

$100.00 = a JDRF T-shirt

** = games that you know I have, Emulated games, but if emulated, only NES, Genesis, SNES, SEGA CD, GB, GBC, GBA!!! DS IS A MAYBE UNTIL I TEST OUT A FEW THINGS. ALSO, GIVE ME TIMES FOR WHEN YOU WANT ME TO STREAM YOUR GAME! THAT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS X3


I would like for those who donate to this cause, to verify that you did through PM in Ustream or even YT, whichever is comfortable for you. Within this, I would like you to give me your game/song/drawing you would like for me to do and at what time during the day.

Also, as far as giving out the t-shirt, I cannot distribute it outside of the US. So, if you donate $100.00 and you are out of the country, we will talk out an agreement.

Update on Schedule, interesting things...

Hey guys. As most of you know, my postponement of my break stopped due to my sickness. I've been in Hell for the past 2 weeks, and I know I will be fine before the end of next week. I just have to control my allergies with medicine and take meds for my asthma. So, it will all work out well X3.

I'm also planning on going with the Demented Crew (myself, drunkendan, and MegaSuperGeneral) to the Videogame Expo this weekend in PA. It will be interesting and I will be fully prepared for it. I'll do some recordings of it and stuffs, so I'll go charge my batteries tonight since I will be going over their place tommorow night, or straight home from work. Who Knows...

Also, for those who don't follow me on Twitter, I was on a recording streak last night and I managed to record the rest of Chapter Two and completed Chapter Three in Full Metal Alchemist 2. Fans of that LP should be happy to know that. I did enjoy the recordings too since I WANTED to do it. It felt good to do some recordings when I FEEL like it instead of doing it because I have to. I feel my stuffs be better when I am in the mood to. So, I hold an update of my schedule.

When I feel like recording, I will record. However, the updates on videos will be another story. I'll decide when to post them up, so do not rush me. It will be bad for my health, or what is left of it after this 2 week sickness -_-''

I am also tempted to do the Pokemon Hack thing...that is...IF it wants to work. I can't get the sprites in the game, and it is upsetting me. The thing is that, I wanna work on the sprites FIRST, then fix the story-ish of PKMN, and then use the codes I learned to adjust people's Pokebattles, and giving and trading of items of sorts. It will be interesting.

My drawings, that is another story. I'm having the HARDEST time enjoying my drawings anymore. I'll try to work on that for that Pokecomic.

I'll check messages on YT and Twitter and such, and the only way to get a hold of me after I feel better and raring to to go to my schedule I had planned, is through Twitter. Nothing else. If you need me for commentary, just tell me when you are able to, and I'll tell you the times I'll be free.

Also, the Demented Crew has indeed been lazy. But, here's the thing. WE DUN CARE!! XD We will finish SMB3 and work on the Sonic Demented. We allready have our new LP in mind after SMB3. Yes. Another LP by the Demented Crew. It will be a hybrid of Co-Op and 1 player ( the 1 player being just me since some adventures will have only 1 player action). Other than that, prepare for the next LP after SMB3.

As far as my future LP's are concerned, I would like to work more on FMA2 and PKMN Ruby for now. Zoids vs III is on hold until one of these LPs are finished. Then, after that, I'll focus on Zoids vs. III. After that LP is finished, I'll go back to Lunar for a bit, take a break after that, and work on my new LP. However, I don't really know what to do. Okami is dropped, sorry to say. Things happen, and I might ruin it. I will post up what I was working on regarding to the voice work. It is like...a 3 min. clip of the voiceacting work in the beginning. It came out nice and I like it. When I feel like, I can, I'll start back up on Okami. Until then, don't expect it. The voice actors will stay the same. Until then, nothing more.

My new LP will be based around the poll to the right of this entry. Click the vote, and I'll have another poll up when that one is finished. Until then, I'm out and time to get back to work. Take care! X3

Sick, Bored, Info on new Donation Stream, and MORE!

Well....this week was a fine kettle of fish if I do say so myself...

I was sick for the most part. It is an allergy sickness, which means for one with a HORRIBLE immune system, I will have it for another week or two. -_-' I am SOOO mad right now because I feel bad. I am supposed to do fandub work for a Mr. Azurada23 for his Abridged series, and with me hacking and wheezing because of my allergies kicking in my asthma, I can't do a lot of things. I'm sure people are upset about me coughing when i was a guest for Tatsu's stream this weekend as well as being in the calls to discuss a few things.

Also, this week, I managed to go to GameStop and give away my PSP and everything to go with it. In return, I bought Eternal Sonata and Star Ocean for the XBox 360 with no charge for my debit card. I also purchased online the first Croc game for the PS1. I played it a bit, and I am happy with it. X3 I've been recently been playing Eternal Sonata. It is a real fun game, with some of the VA's I like are in there.....even -eyetwitch- Johnny Young Bosch....SERIOUSLY, WHAT ISN'T HE IN?!?!?!?!!?!?

Also this week, Ive been looking up tutorials for my Pokemon Hack that I've been wanting to work on for the past few months. However, instead of a Yu-Gi-Oh one for now, I'm thinking about doing a Pokemon hack with a few people I know as Pokemon, by giving them certain things on the Pokemon, and renaming the Pokemon themselves along with their moveset. I don't have the FULL ideas to it, so don't expect too much out of me, okay? I am having the hardest time placing my sprites into the game as it is. I'm doing everything right, it is just being stupid. I did make PhantomSavage as my Phanty-chu. I just have to insert it into the game. Until I can do that, I won't work on any other sprites.

So yeah, been sick and got a few new things to do. As I said, I didn't record a thing. I've just been bored and trying to entertain myself as best as I can. I came back around Friday for a few reasons, and also because I needed to talk to a few people about a few things concerning recordings and other schtuff. I'll be gone this week as well, in bed since I'm still not feeling too hot.

I did go over drunkendan's house this weekend. We didn't record because we were both lazy and I was most likely going to cough and hack the entire time anyhow. It wasn't going to be the best recording ever, so sorry guys XP. I had fun. Talked toa few people, watched Tatsu's stream, teased them a bit and other stuff.

Also, it seems Youtube wants to revenue my first Tag Force Video. However, i don't think I'll get it since it goes against EVERYTHING in their list. I'm debating on it, so don't get your hopes up.

I apologize to people that have been trying to get a hold of me this week and this weekend. I've been taking care of other things. I will be gone this week to try to recooperate so I can attempt to be helpful to the people that need me in commentary without me dying in it XD

I haven't started to reach that goal at all since I don't feel up to doing anything. I haven't drawn anything except for Tails at work. it seems that he is the only thing I've been drawing anymore, and he looks more awesome everytime I draw him. i should show you guys sometime.

Also, my group, OxyCleanStreams, are planning another donation stream on the 24th of this month, a week before TheSpeedGamers. More information hopefully by the end of the week so we can advertise early. We have all the people attending, but we need to pick the games and settle a time frame. After that, the advertisements are raring to go. We are going to donate to the Child's Play Charity Group. KZX will be the host of this as well as I am for talking to the Charity Group we will be sponsoring. This is also the 2nd annual Birthday Stream for me and KZX as well since my birthday is on the 21st and KZX's is the 29th. We will have a Special Guest (hopefully) since his birthday is a day before mine. it will be epic and I hope you guys will attend.

I will cover the rest of it in another blog hopefully this week. I will update you guys on anything else that happens. Until then, I'll see you guys next week. NO STREAMING FOR ME THIS WEEKEND COMING UP! I have plans to go to PA (Hopefully) for the Videogaming Expo thingie there on the 10th at the Convention Center. We'll see.

Talk to you all later!

Schedule for the Future!

Allrighty people. Canis Skye is here for a few things. For those who came here from the video I posted, You should follow my Twitter account from now on. I will post any new blog stuff up on Twitter while I am gone. I will not post up anymore videos saying I posted up a blog. It gets redundant and annoying. So please, follow me on Twitter at:

http://www.twitter.com/CanisSkye

If you don't own Twitter, then bookmark this page and check it every once in a while if you are interested.


Now then, onto other things.

A few months ago, I decided to leave the interwebz to reach my goal that I've always wanted to accomplish but couldn't. The internet is an awesome place, but it can be VERY addicting. I need to start to get away from it slowly in order to reach my goal. My goal isn't known to anyone NOR will it be....well...possibly. You might. Only AFTER the goal is reached. It will be interesting for some people. You'll see. It will make me happy and it will make others happy, I guarentee it!

So...here is how it will go. As most of you know, I draw, I make videos (LP's, Fandubs, and whatnot), I tweet, I blog, made a forum, do donation streams and regular streams, and everything else. Well, it will be reduced during this time. I want time to myself and I don't wanna do a lot of these things while I am on this loooong goal hiatus.

The LP's will be on hold. I thought about recording on just Sundays and upload them once a week. Buuuuut, I don't really wanna do that on my day of rest with how my new schedule will be. I just wanna chillax and stuffs. I know you people miiight groan and unsub, but that's fine. But let me tell you. I will come back better, and more awesome than before. Also, I will cut out the HUUUGE amounts of streams. My streams have been held on Saturday nights starting between 7-8 PM EST time and end after 7 to 8 hours, maybe even 11 hours. I am planning to cut that as well. I am only planning on streaming once a month. HOWEVER, they will be one of two things:

1) I will stream for only an hour, 2 MAX!

oooooor

2) I will be in a donation stream if the OxyClean crew need me to.


Those are the only conditions I have. I can choose not to stream at all, so don't expect much from this.

The twitters will be up ONLY to say I put up a blog entry. That is the ONLY time I will interact with that.

The main thing I will use for this hiatus is my blog. The only days I will update my blog will be on Sundays, most likely in the nights.

I will not be planning on entereing streams, working on co-ops, however, I do have some thing I have to do with someone for a fandub AND donation streams IF NEEDED. These are the only acceptions.

My drawings, on the other hand, I will work on.....mostly. I plan on working on a webcomic mainly for practice. It miiight be just a fan webcomic of Pokemon. It will be fun, and if you know what I have in my artist sight I use, you would get an idea on what it miiiight hold. X3

Basically, Sunday is my internet day to check on things, so that I won't be swamped on my artist site, Youtube, and everything else.

Now, people are probably getting agitated at me by not making videos. Well, there is a liiiiiiitle bonus. I have a new channel that I have been using mainly for my drawing videos. I will post the link up when it is ready to be announced to the world. So expect that in another blog entry. So, this means that if I work on a drawing, I'll record it and post it up on Sundays. That's about the only videos I will post up. I might not even do that either, so just be patient.

Really, this break is just for me finding myself and obtaining a goal that I reallly want to accomplish. So please, don't be mad. I'm sure there are other people you can watch on the internet. Hell, I'm sure they are WAYYY better than I am. Like NintendoCapriSun, ChickenFajita12, TimothyBor, Tatsudoshi, GodDammitJoel, and a MILLION others. Trust me, there are more out there, and it will be fine. I would rather have more support than anything instead of people flaming me about me trying to get a life, if you want to put it that way. I want to improve my life, how I feel, how I act, and handle what I need to handle that I've been running away from I suppose. I'm just having issues with inside my head, my self-esteem, and me tired of a thousand other things.

So that is preety much it. I think I covered everything at this point. So, again, I ask for support. I do not know when I will come back. The goal needs to be reached by May, but I'm hoping I'll meet it before that time. X3 I'm sure I will with everyone's support.

Until then, CanisSkye signing out, saying Take care and I hope to see you all real soon!! X3

To my Friends on Skype, I wish you all well and if you need me for anything, you know how to get to me if it is just support, donation assistance for a stream, and everything else. Don't be afraid to ask. also, GET ALONG!!! That is all.

See ya!!
