Schedule musings

I've been thinking a bit about the video schedule; I'm pretty comfortable the way it is now with 2 a week, but I'm wondering if we're reaching the point where that's too many and it's just becoming numbing. Now don't get me wrong, I love Rumble Roses XX and it's basically custom made for people like me (and you, I'm assuming, if you're reading this) - but I wonder if it's getting over saturated; The fact that the customization is so bare-bones really limits how much you can do, and I feel like I've explored messing with the sliders/costumes almost as much as I can. This doesn't mean that RRXX videos would go away entirely, but maybe they might be cut down to one a month so they don't all blend together after a while.

So what then? Four WAS2 videos a month, one Rumble Roses XX video? I don't know; Then you risk overloading on WAS2, I think, although that game has so many charecters I think it's going to be quite a while before that happens. What I'd really like to do is maybe switch to a one video a week format; WAS 2 - Rumble Roses XX - WAS 2 - video from another game. (Maybe that's a little complicated, but what the fuck; You people are smart, you'll figure it out.)
Of course that leaves the question what "video from another game" entails. What I'd like to do is track down every sports game with ladies you can pair up in existance and see if I can make videos out of them. The downside is that videos like this take much longer to produce. Put aside the difficulty in getting the game and unlocking the ladies in the first place (which is annoyingly applicable) - there's still technical issues, and more troubling to me, the actual playing of the game. After grinding for money for 400+ hours in Rumble Roses I can probably play it in my sleep (it got to the point where I could literally win a tag match with my eyes closed). It's not so bad if there's a CPU versus CPU mode, but if there isn't - here I'm casting a sidelong glance at Wade Hixon's Counter Punch - I'd prefer to actually display a tiny amount of skill, if only enough so that the game doesn't look like indiscriminate flailing.
All that being said, the method I prefer is to present a bunch of games, and whichever one strikes a cord I can record more of (so make sure you leave comments/send requests if you see a game you want more videos made out of).

So that's what I'm thinking of doing. If you have any comments, by all means let me know - I tend to lean towards whoever I'm hearing from at the moment, and I doubt most people have read this far, so your opinion will probably have some weight. I'm still thinking this all over, so I dunno when this switch is going to take place - probably pretty soon since I'm running low on Rumble Roses videos. I might, if I can find any spare time, record Gameboy Boxing Game Month, and then when that's over go into the new schedule. Or, of course, this could happen
and I'll be sent to prison for bitches for the rest of my life; We'll see.

You could always start doing Smackdown videos again.

There's an idea. I might wait until WWE 12!!!!!!! or whatever the next installment is.

Smackdown looks like your best bet, IMO. I think RRXX is getting played out too, as much as I hate to admit it. :/ There's just not much more you can do with it you haven't done.

Konami needs to get off their lazy asses and make the third one, sigh.

No kidding! Well, I have some more Smackdown videos already in the can (with commentary) that I was going to post; If I can get the sound to actually mix correctly I might put those up. Nowhere near actually ending an arc, though. Hmm...
