EPTAlthough I had a utub account for quite some time, it was with the SC2 beta that I decided to start releasing major public work. My unique casting style takes time to get used to, but harder yet is worthy replays to cast. As I get bored of SC2 extremely fast, I've been relying on submissions and random TL replays claiming to be entertaining to get content. Most high level play is... frankly, boring to me.
My casting style works best with random, entertaining games. I preferred casting FFA's (I have FPVOD's of FFA play as well, from back in beta and I think some during release, but I eventually grew too bored of the game and too frustrated with my disabilities affecting my play) and other such content, but I'll probably look into finding some Boxer replays to cast. Don't know how successful I will be.
Anyways, other than the SC2 WoL Brutal playthrough, Darksiders is the single biggest production I've made in terms of video content. 25 segments, each an hour in length, in 1920x1200.
I know virtually no one here really cares, since the casting style is extremely niche, but I thought it was worth noting as I haven't been able to do anything other than random casts during all 2010 and probably all of 2011 as well.
I currently have around 1260 subscribers but they are slowly trickling away. Considering each video upload generally gets 1/10 my subscribers in views I think most of them are from beta and stopped using youtube entirely when sc2 came out. The rest, those who actually remain, tend to be fanatical, and it's for them that I keep stressing my bandwidth and patience to their limits to produce this content.
As someone told me, I've a voice you will either love or hate. Most people hate it. But I knew it would be that way when I started. I made a decision to be myself, to not try to conform to what everyone else does, because that was never why I started making videos. I started making videos because I wanted to catalog entertaining moments in my life. I started casting because I wanted to see how good I could get. I don't know if I'm good or not. All I know is that a few people really enjoy my work no matter what I put up. So I'll keep at it.
Work gets harder and harder as my depression and psychosis becomes more and more severe. I rely on moodswings to cast or do anything at all. I can't even get out of bed most of the time. Times I'm up I mostly spend staring blankly at my screen wondering why I can't get myself to do anything. So it's been for five years now. So it will continue to be. At least casts have helped fill that void with a new option.
I guess at the end of the day nothing matters so long as time passes, neh?
