P.S: I finished editing the Green Line and vintage Silver Line videos and am currently working on the Taylor Guitars factory walkthrough. This past weekend, I saw Eric Johnson live at the House of Blues in San Diego so even more videos are on the way! Stay tuned!!

In this mobile vlog, I talk about the new shoes that I bought thanks to a tip from BusanKevin, nearing the end of the audition period for Love Hina Abridged (8 days as of today), working on Episode 2′s script, how I plan on writing future episodes of LHA, and picking up the guitar again after not playing it for a couple weeks.

Enjoy and please comment!

In this vlog, I talk about watching old Iwate Swan videos, getting back from visiting my folks in Michigan, putting up pictures on my Twitter account, eating Hungry Howie’s pizza, visiting Lake Chemung, going to Myles Dairy Queen for an excellent Triple Chocolate Blizzard, leaving for San Diego tomorrow, catching up with my friends and folks, the status for a new collaboration with The Talkin’ Vedalken, hopefully coming back for Christmas, testing out a new video resolution, making new videos when I come back to San Diego, and opening the floor for your suggestions for future videos.

Enjoy and please comment!!

P.S: I was testing out a new resolution on my phone so that’s why the video looks weird. I learned my lesson and the next mobile video will be back to the old resolution. Sorry for the confusion!

Here’s a sped-up version of the second episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! – The Abridged Series by Little Kuriboh.

I also tweeked the audio a bit in Audacity so it’s not as staticy as the original, although it does get warbly in some spots.

Also before I get into trouble, I don’t own any of this at all. All copyrights belong to their respective owners and the such. I <3 milkshakes!!

Continuing from where we left off, let’s look at my top 5 videos that are mainly on BlipTV. Here we go!!

05 – Movie Night 04 – Space Transformers

If you can’t see the above video, click here.

Although this is the last of our Movie Night series, we definitely saved the best for last! We knew this movie very well and the riff came out well!

04 – First Impact Anime 09 – Naruto

If you can’t see the video above, click here.

The Talkin’ Vedalken edited & uploaded this video while I was at boot camp, and he did a great job! He even added a counter for how many references I make to Little Kuriboh’s Naruto: The Abridged Series (15 if memory serves).

03 – Movie Night 02 – Defenders of Space

If you can’t see the video above, click here.

I’m not sure what it is with us and space-themed shows, but I think our best riffs come from this sub-genre. It was pure ridiculum!

02 – Behind The Flop 01 – Movie Night 01 Blooper Reel

If you can’t see the above video, click here.

I came up with an idea for doing a behind-the-scenes mini-series showing bloopers and extended cuts of the intro tracks, and the best one I think is the very first one we did!

01 – [TIE] “Movie Night 00 – Teaser Trailer”

Well guys, I hope you enjoyed this fun look back at my back catalog of videos! I’ll put up links and stuff sometime this weekend when I have a bit more time to work on it. Until then, have a good one! Bye!

Vlog 62 – Happy Five Years on YouTube!!!!!

If you can’t see the video above, click here.

Although I never met Rodger in person, I got to know him through watching his videos and exchanging messages & comments over YouTube. I think that if we did meet in person, we would have clicked right away. We have a similar taste in music and simply put, we’re just some down-to-earth Michigan boys (I was born in Michigan, but mostly raised in Ohio), which is probably why I gravitated to him a bit more than the other J-vloggers out there.

Rodger Swan was definitely one of my very early influences not just in learning about Japan (his videos are second only to TokyoCooney if you want to get started learning about Japan), but in making my own videos. Even now, you can still see some of his influences in my videos.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but when someone so young like Rodger suddenly dies, it usually takes me a day or two for it to really sink in that they died. Initially when I heard the news, I thought that it was a prank or something. Unfortunately, after doing some further investigating and asking around online, it was confirmed that he did indeed pass away by none other than TokyoCooney, who had actually contacted the school that Rodger worked at in order to find out for sure what had happened.

Ever since Rodger passed, I incorporated several things that he did into my own videos to not only pay tribute to him, but because I like to do them.

One of the most significant things that I do is end my videos with, “We’ll see you next time!”. Sometimes, it’s the little things that made a big difference in the videos that Rodger did.

Another thing that I did is cut back a lot on my swearing. Of course, this may not be plainly obvious to my newer viewers who just watched the video I did earlier this week called “Bitches & Hoes”, but if you watch my earlier videos, I think you’ll notice a shying away from, as Spongebob put them, “sentence enhancers”.

I hope that when I do eventually get stationed in Yokosuka, I get a chance to visit the same places that Rodger did in my favorite Tokyo Swan video: “Real Life Shenmue“. Definitely check that out!

Well kids, I’m off to go back to base. Rest In Peace Rodger, and we’ll see you next time!
