Another episode, full of drama and warfare, of Pony Fantasy 6:

We were not so keen on logic this time around. Okay, maybe we are never keen on logic.

So today we’ve got another Let’s Play. This one not in the vein of ponies:

I thought I’d do an extra one since last weeks Let’s Play was short. That said, it shaped up to be a good stopping point for Pony Fantasy 6, since the game goes on for a good while with dialogue and so on afterward, and rest assured I won’t be ending the video on a frustrating cliffhanger tomorrow!

However, speaking of things and progress, due to the deadline crunch on Rainbow Dash Presents this time around, we’re unfortunately going to need to put Lord of the Dwarves on hiatus until the second or third week of July. Those of you following it have probably noticed it’s been silent for a while now, but unfortunately there’s not much we can do if we still want to get RDP out on time.

There’s also a lot of extended material we’re trimming from Bittersweet’s final draft. I sort of went back on my swear never to take on another multi-chapter fic, and the result is a planned script that probably would have driven us to longer than thirty minutes if everything we laid out were actually done. As a result, the story is going to be a bit lighter on the step. It’s good and bad – on the one hand, the pacing seems a lot better with the cuts and we’ll be moving between jokes faster, but on the other we’ll be dropping some discussion about life behind the scenes for the characters. There’ll be some interesting things to talk about for the commentary reel.

Finally, thanks to our forums, I’ve noticed that the Nostalgia Critic is on Youtube. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how that’s possible? Youtube is often changing and they harass me less about copyright than they used to, but I rarely know what’s going on behind the scenes and I genuinely cannot seem to obtain a conversation with the support teams anymore; they respond to me with template forms, so I can never argue or ask questions.

I know Youtube makes way for big companies and franchises. I wonder if the Nostalgia Critic has just gotten large enough for them to recognize who he is and accept his work without trashing everything he’s trying to accomplish. Truthfully, he does deserve it, though. I hadn’t really watched much of his stuff despite knowing of him through Noah Antwiler’s Spoony Experiment, but after checking out a few of his videos I’ve got to admit that he does some fairly impressive work with what I assume is a skeleton film crew.

In other news, I’ve got all our automatic updates and so forth all riddled out! Well, mostly. But point is I can stack updates and plan ahead with videos now! It’s a bit of extra organization that’ll be kind of nice for us.

A new Allen Hour!

Sometimes Allen and I have no formal plan before we sit down to do one of these videos. Well, technically, we never have a formal plan, but some days it’s worse than others.

We’ve got a new Counting Merits online:

This video is in relation to a server-wide PvP event that we held, and it’s still ongoing. There should be videos up about it in time! In the meanwhile, though, there’s nothing else from the guys posted this week.

However, Gibbie did put together something for us:

It’s a dramatic reading of Accessory, including sound effects and other stuff!

A new episode of the Pony Fantasy 6 Let’s Play is up!

It’s a little shorter than usual. I had stuff going on this week, including the death of my car’s catalytic converter. The car put me behind schedule, but I’ve been thinking about doing something with Fallout New Vegas, so I may make up for it with a little extra video at some point next week. We’ll see!

Seriously, though, at the rate my car is failing me, I may as well sell it and save up for an airplane. As much as I hate heights, I’ve always wanted to learn how to fly.
